My Mappings

Hiya Peoplez of PMU, this is IAP and i decided to make this topic because i got a sudden interest in mapping a while ago :D anyway, i will be showing you some of my maps, either made on Mapping’s account or IAP’s account. My First Map is on Mapping’s account because IAP’s house is set up for the contest. anyway, comment as you like and i hope you like my maps :D

Map 1: Waterfall Canyon
Animations are included, just not shown.
I Will be posting more maps from time to time so stick around :D

Cliff too square on Map #1. Try shapening them. For an example either goto one of house with cliffs (Kosmos and Lman443)

THis is a really nice house, I like the bottom half especially. Though as Lman said, it seems to be lacking some shape.
Also when making a house, try not to box yourself in. Try and make it seem as if you map continues on to another map.

It does, if you look to the top you see that nothing blocks it. i will probably be adding more to it later in the week/month. i have a lot to do from HW to christmas so i have a lot to do… :P

it took a while but i finally got inspiration for a map. i was just tinkering around with the new tiles. Credit to lman for taking the pic considering i cannot find my screenies because they save somwhere else now :P

anyway, Map 2: The Infinity Islands


There is a story to this house

The Story of The Ininity Islands:
Long ago an island was formed in the middle of the ocean. One day, a hurricane formed right underneath the island, making it float into the orbit of space. Overtime the islands started to duplcate, and they kept duplicating nd they never stop. They were named the Infinity Islands because they are never ending interconnected island that stay there in the orbut of space. Now many have asked about the stars that formed right underneath the islands. They were formed when the first island floated up. They are called the Infinity Starline, just like the islands they are never ending stars that continue on forever, exactly like the islands. That is the story of the Infinity Islands.

I recommend tileset … 1 I think for backgrounds, but awesome work , IAP.

if you read the story you would understand why i chose that. also i was tinkering around with the new tiles so i wanted to use the space thingy

OMG!!! I love these new tiles, I am going to have to work with them some time.
You did a great job using them!

Thats a great thing to hear from someone as good as you! Thank you!

Edit 12-31-11: i do not need help with hills anymore. i looked t chars guide and it helped. im in the process of a new map. i will post it when i am done

I have finished the map. Credit to jordsters for taking the screenshot, Credit to Audrey for the name

Map 3: Savannah Isle Part 1

Animations are included just not shown :P

Pretty cool design IAP! Though I feel if you added more details to the map it could add a whole new dimension to it.
Well happy mapping, I hope to see many more maps from you! owo

Sorry I wasn’t here to help you with hills, (I am guessing your mean cliffs), if you still need help sometime, just give me a holler in game and I shall try to help if I am not busy.~

Thank you! If you read my previous post I looked at your guide to help me with this map. Also, if you look at the name it is part 1, there are 5 parts to this map. I am taking your advice and making it be like it leads to another map. Also, if I need help with cliffs I will PM you or dausk (considering Dausk is great with cliffs). Anyway, to those looking at this forum the judging of the mapping contest is today and I give you all the best of luck :D

Your maps are nice. however, most of your maps seem to be very square. If you make them more random and add some more detail it would be better :3

I finally got to do a map after a long time :P Credit to Blazafyur for taking the screenie

Map 4: The Primal Cliffs

i was able to get 2 maps done today :D. Credit to Mad for taking the screenie

This one doesnt really have a name so im just gonna call it…

Map 5: Cliff Practice Gone Wrong XD

Map 1:
I like it, however it looks symmetrical. everything on one side, is the same on the other, which looks a bit odd. Perhaps you could add more detail on the sides of the maps? Nether the less, i like it.

Map 2:
I like the cliff design, it is nice and random, however you are missing the inner cliff corners, so you can see lots of “L” between connecting the cliff pieces where the inner corners should go. I like the effect of the trees, however the grass is really plain, perhaps you could add some flowers and some basic grass textures to make it look nicer.

Keep going,

~Kibbelz

For your first map I recommend never using those tiles in all truth they’re not even pokemon tile sets they’re default sets and the way they’re made they will always look weird and possibly as kibbz said symmetrical, in other words in my opinion your second map is the best and I’m diggin’ it like the style, everyone needs improvement just keep goin’ 8-)

Primal Cliffs: Where’d the cliffs go? This map is too symmetrical for my tastes and seems a bit barren. (That’s totally logical, but I think it just needs some floating rocks and dead trees in the plain spots.)

Cliff Practice Gone Wrong: Those are some very nice looking cliffs. They’re full of action and seem pretty interesting for cliffs! The trees are just random, and I assume that’s the “Gone Wrong” part and the trees on the cliff are just poking out in awkward places as well. I recommend scouring the bottoms of Tileset 7 for grasses and rocks where you can cover the bases of the trees on the cliffs to make it more natural.

You’re always improving with every map! Good work, IAP!

Thanks for the comments. Primal Cliffs I didnt really work on as much considering I first made it on the out-of-PMU Map Editor, and I didnt know where to save it so yeah…

Your right, they tree’s were the “Gone Wrong” Part, it’s just I was practicing cliffs with a trick Char showed me, then I decided to make it a bit crazy like most of my maps are :3. Also, I wasn’t really trying to map for this one, so your suggestiuon for the more grass/rocks I will not use (mostly because I deleted the map XD) anyway, that map was just practice so yeah…
