Searching For A Architect

QBMan · April 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Need ideas! Need help</div> Hi folks,

iam seaching for an architect. Someone who can draw plans for a map.
I havent really got an idea. PLZ help! He will be in the credids of course.
You just have to draw me your idea. If you want to, maybe we can do more than only one map.
The thing is i know things to do, but iam to lazy. When I get an plan, I will do it.

I fear nobody can really present you with a finished, tried and true layout for your map. I'd suggest you take a look at the overviews of the official maps, watch a sci-fi movie or two, and then let inspiration run free.

If you're just looking to get a basic layout, try making a typical four-point layout and then add/remove rooms and hallways between the four points until the layout starts looking good. Once you've got a solid layout, move a few rooms around or tweak the hallways a bit until you get it just the way you want.

I'd post mine as an example, but it's a bit messy right now. I scrapped a big chunk of the layout and moved some stuff around a few days ago simply because there were sizable parts of the map that nobody would likely use. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Well what the problem is:
The way the standardmaps are textured is not good to me. Its just some texture on the wall which gives no sense. I dont know how to texture right. If you look close at the standardmaps youll see there are brushes against brushes with other texture. I dont know what is right and what is wrong.

Use the ALIGN tool, fool! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

i am putting together a few "insperation" maps...

most from movies, or art from www.conceptart.com
look at the rooms, theres one person that has the most amazing rooms, and you could build a whole map from just one picture it's so rich, BUT... if you wait long enough, you'll be able to get what i think you want, from T2K's Tutorial/Help section (modeling and impulse commands are all it's got ATM)

Thats not what i mean! <span style='color:white'>Still no reason to call someone like this.</span>

i would say do your lay out in ms paint:)
then make a couple of example halls post tehm and see what the world has to say try again til you like it and continue.

I've never drawn out an entire map before starting it, Well, I did it once, but I just started making it up as I mapped after getting the first street done. (mapping for DoD) That's what I plan on doing when I start my NS map, I seem to be pretty good at mapping like that.
