Want to get back into mapping, but I'm feeling unmotivated as forget.

Don't feel unmotivated, I use your map every time I play on Gmod. (When I play offline that it) I love everything about it and haven't really had one problem with it. I really like how you made that secret place in your map. YOu have also encouraged me to start mapping.

I work on maps in short bursts, like whenever I feel like it I will add details, then get bored an hour or two later and play games.

I want to build an alien swarm map where the only available weapon is the mining laser you see in timor station.

Textures y/n?

Interior textures are unspeakably ugly.

Ugly Red Wall Texture is Ugly.

Wait, I had a secret place in my map?

In other news, I'm thinking about finding some nice custom textures and throwing some stuff together this evening. I can't make promises about its originality or its quality, but i'll try to get back into mapping a bit.

Well I decided on something to map. It'll be more or less based off of this guy:

an old build of mine. It's already turning out pretty stuffty, I fear. I doubt this will ever be released on Garrysmod.org, but I'll be sure to post it here when it's more than what appears to be a stuffty modern art sculpture with dev textures.

Just a quick question for you guys: Which do you prefer, brush based or mesh based mapping?
I prefer brush based.

I prefer brush based.

Could you give us some quick examples of each?

I prefer brush based.

Brush, that's the one I work with, it seems easier to use.
Mesh sounds harder to use but more complex.
