Yuval 29 Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Novigrad. Before summer vacation I was really onto making such map, I had not a single clue how to do it and I started learning how to make A3 terrains from zero. I'm still no professional, or even a beginner since I only know the general idea of how to create a terrain. I started with the obvious which is heightmap. I loaded up the trial pro version of L3DT 3~ months ago and worked on the terrain for 2 days. I got tired because I have no skills in this program and I am struggling to get a very basic heightmap. I opened up L3DT today because I am very bored and started working on the heightmap gain, and this is where I am right now: It's decent, a basic flat (kind of) terrain with the main theme of novigrad. Although this project most likely fits ArmA 2, making it on ArmA 3 would be much more useful and maybe later on even exporting it to DayZ SA when modding is supported. I still don't have a single idea what I'm doing yet I keep working on that map. I need help, from professional mappers if it's possible to finish this damn thing (while I'm at the very start I guess?). I love mapping and I followed a lot of mappers in the BIS community (such as bushlurker, icebreakr and maybe a few others?) I spoke with breakr once on skype and he told me he'll add me to some mappers conversation or something although this never happened, but I do want to finish this project somewhen. For those who are interested in the details of the project itself, the climate of this map is chernarussian / russian / "post apocalyptic". Compare this map to Taviana and Chernarus together, this is kind of where I am aiming. EDIT: I tried to compare the original map to the current heightmap, here is the comparison - Edited September 14, 2014 by Yuval Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
