SolA Solar System Map...Why?A few months after my last failed vehicle that Pandan can tell you all about. I decided to start to map, seeing that making add-ons wasn't my thing. So I have made several maps, none have been release but some requested. When I saw the Planets Map however, I decided to get more seriously into mapping. Although, this is really just a side project that I'd like to get done.
The Planets Maps pros are:Has good textures.
Nice idea of seperate platforms as planets.
And has the right idea going.
It's cons are:Planets aren't in the right spot.
Most of them you can't build on.
Sun has no "fire" effects around it.
Planet's "platforms" poke through the outer mesh.
So as you can see, the cons not only out number the pros, but they weigh the map down too.
PlanI believe if I gain a little more experience in other areas of mapping I can recreate this map to a better degree. So if anyone out there has a tutorial video on modeling, please share. My plan is to learn more then I know now in the next month or two. Then too start on the map and playing around with some effects and skybox themes. I would then begin making the map and would release it, if all goes well, hopefully by December 25, 2009*.
