Title: Mocha Cocoa's Mapping Tips and Tricks
Post by: unnbrellas on June 05, 2014, 07:27:58 pm
Mocha Cocoa's Mapping Tips and Trick! So yeah. This does not explain how to actually make maps; this is for those who know how to make maps already. If you don't know how to make maps, here are lots of other great tutorials on this board! Here is where I put all my tricks on making maps, covering all part of map making! This is a huge WIP though. I have no idea if any of these things cause lag, I personally never lag.
By flat, I mean it wont be boring flat. So not like it would have been in the second picture.
Set The Scene With The Sky
Its hard getting the mood right for a map, and I've discovered one of the best ways is simply by making a custom sky. But you won't get your scary theme by making the sky blood red. Certain colors portray a mood. Purple- Discomfort, Eerie, Creepy Blue- Calm, Peaceful, Natural Red- Fear, Pain, Horror Grey- Dull, Lifeless, Empty (Fog Illusion) Orange- Warm, Comfort
Don't use solid colors, try to only tint the sky that way.

I must admit that even I knew not about what ye've provided thus far via avoidin' any flat terrain in the map ye' may be creatin'. I'm curious as to what other tricks ye' have up yer sleeves that ye're willin' to share with us when it comes to map-makin'. A resourceful thread, as stated before.

-Facedesks.- Brilliant, Mocha. Thank you! If I ever make another map, I'll surely do this instead of sitting there struggling with flat areas.

Holy crap, thank you so much for that first tip... ;n; I mean, finally something... right? Well, it was a tip I sort of wanted to know to be honest but - 'Nuff of my awkwardness.
Thanks so much, Mocha! <3
