assassin got it right

indeed

I gave crit, he cried, I insulted. typically scenario, i don't always insult instantly unless they cry, unless of course they are full on idiots.

Although my first post contained LIGHT insults if you wish to take them that way, but its all valid crit and telling him to start over is valid crit as that is what he needs.

So now you all be fag ends and gang up on me ay? lol, well enjoy your selves, I don't care seeming as my first post was all valid crit and he started crying over it.

You lot are a joke :L and you really think that article bothers me don't you?



Erm. . . . NO. I said nothing of the sort, quit exaggerating.



So, you take one part of my post which is more or less the only little insult if you wish to take it like that, lol. Fail.

What exactly is :L supposed to look like?

I think anonymous needs a happy pill.
I'm happy to give you a bottle of them.

Its a laughing face on windows live messanger and other chat apps.

L28 speaks the truth.

You should write film scripts as your pretty good at making up characters.

Martyn and assassin, your attitudes are atrocious, you are the bottom feeders of this forum.
Funny enough that you , Martyn, a vastly skilled modeler (who has a set, because he grew a pair) are being lumped in with a new guy who cant do anything (even get a simple box map ingame) and does not learn when to keep his mouth shut.
You have been told by countless "valued" users, that if you continue to run your mouth at the newer users because of their lack of instant skillz, you will alienate yourself.
Neither of you offer anything to this forum.

What Maniac said.
His statement pretty much sums up my thoughts on this.

I concur. Too much bad attitude.

you truely do live up to that article, hunter... hahahaha oh man

Sounds to me that you have been spoiled by all these next-gen graphics. You're saying it needs good graphics to be fun - graphics are always a plus, but graphics and fun are ALWAYS on different levels.

but of course. it's not like the creator of minecraft isn't a millionaire or anything from selling his game

All BOLD is valid crit, okay I admit to slight insults where the text is not bold, but they are minor and to be hurt and insulted by them is pretty weak tbh.

And RED is not intended to be an insult but rather words being used to say how much using heightmaps like that can be bad.

There's about four mean troll demoralizing this map. He's not a professional, and this is his first map.
I only suggest you fix up the bsp, and keep trying regardless of what people say.

Oh, and people, don't quote this post and assume I meant to say anything else.

that's way better and fair,height maps are bad to use yeah,but when someone's just learning and go for a basic tutorial then that's what the user get's taught,hardly his fault the the basic tutorial showed him a heightmap,links have been given to far better ways to map and to learn new things.

considering the game is has sold 600,000 copies, at 15 usd, I doubt you know what you're talking about. 100,000 is way too low.

proper [somewhat] height map, i blurred it too much and forgot to save the blurred of b4.... used a mix of real topology maps and random ps work:

Eh? Looked like an Xray. I don't like where this is headed. Go back to your dungeon and make more models.

uh, it's really not that hard... black background, various white brushes with different opacities...

lol, he is talking to me, cause i usually only appear to post a model that either i dont release or gets lost in the bowels of my harddrive. and i just use that image as a base, then edit the mesh extensively. :P and im off to my dungeon of models!

the like's of photoshop or corel paint shop will let you do that,theyr'e progames for drawing and can also be use to make textures etc

gimp will work just fine and it's free. you don't need fancy tools from an expensive program like photoshop to make a blob of white on black

cool i didn't think of gimp,it's free too

Well learn, otherwise you can't make maps...

Wait, so a heightmap also takes how dark the blob is and turns that into how much higher/lower the respective area should be?

Let it go, plox. We can end the side conversation at this point.

Assassin, to you i apologize.
But you should not tell new users what to do with their maps.

>implying someone who's a professional at heightmaps couldn't make a map

never said you were, but you can still make maps with heightmaps without knowing how to model

... sooooo.. you brought it up becauuuse..?

Depends on how you define "knowing how to model".

He is not a professional so he can't make a map with them as they are used incorrectly. I'm sure a professional could paint a good heightmap, as usual reality has been blown apart.
