Panslam 0 Posted February 13, 2019 I have a crazy idea for a map of a real world area. I am experienced at 3D modelling, though I have no experiance with Arma III map making. I was wondering if I could receive some pointers. I might make the area a bit large, and make the map not to scale. Ideas for the area: Washington DC Crimea Kingston, Jamacia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 411 Posted February 14, 2019 I would say start small if this would be your first map. It can be very time consuming and aggregating getting used to using the tools. If you find a area you like let's say the Washington location you pictured above you can start small in the lower left corner of the map like a 5km x 5km area. If you want to expand you can do that later it's easier to expand up and right when enlarging a terrain. And use mikeros tools. Except no substitute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Von Quest 1163 Posted February 17, 2019 I would love to see Crimea. I can't believe no one has done it yet. Can you imagine Crimea + RHS? Hell ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
