My first map was called Fatum Specus ^^ It means Fate Cave in Latin which I thought was so cool at the time!

I was soooo proud of it!!
(It still exists if anyone wants it :'D)

My first map ever was some map I made for a... very unsuccessful pack. I don't have the download or files anymore, but it was called Mystery Dreams or something like that. No heightmap, only objects. It actually wasn't that bad, I kinda wish I still had the files now.

My first public map was Endless Tunnel. Just a very small tunnel map, I still kinda like it. Very simple but it's nice for screenshots.

Aha, I remember my first map I made. Plain and simple, it was a disaster. Objects floating here and there and meshes so big and oversized the grass and flowers were ten stories higher than your character XD. Although I don't make as many maps as I used to, all I can say is that I'm so glad I've improved since then.

My first map was.. (cant remember ;-;) A lion king map but I didn't like it after because you know the plains were flat Pride rock was the only good thing there

Mine was a Highland map inspired by my holiday to Scotland a few years ago. It had mountains, valleys, lochs, forests and dens. It wasn't bad for a first try, but as with everything it could have been better.
Though I don't make many maps now I think I've improved since then...I hope.

Ahhh, I remember it like it was yesterday. I used the Watermill map, but I wanted to try my hand at a large map to start things off. So I made it as big as the game could handle and began. I finished it with only the default objects, and it just sat there in Map Maker, because at the time, I had no idea I had to export it and all that business.
I just might use that as inspiration for a lake map someday.

I haven't released any of my maps publicly as they're all shabby messes, but my first map was Maroon Island. It was just a small, simple circular island with reddish soil and full of trees and those temple structures. I remember not bein' able to get any downloaded items workin' except for some deer. Deer Island would have been a more fittin' name actually now that I'm thinkin' back...

My first map was the eyesore that is Rainbow Land, which is still actually available for download in my creations thread. Just. A lot of objects in a lot of colours. It's an ascension map, where you have to climb to the top. It's not exactly challenging, but, eh. It was a start. Mostly to practise with materials. Or so I'll say. c':

It was a super long time ago so I don't know if I remember right, but I'm pretty sure I made a desert map with the watermill heightmap just like you lol xD I never released it, it was more of an experiment than anything and I tested a lot of stuff out like music and weather. Didn't keep it around for a long time but it was a gateway to man other maps to come :3

every default object and its sister. literally only default. height map only worked 50% of the time too.

A sanctuary-kind of map where it looked like something you'd see in a dream and there were two floating islands, both of which represented Heaven and Hell, and the height map was the Watermill map. I never really released it since it never felt done whenever I added more. Every time I think about it, I really miss it and would totally remake it if I remembered what objects I used.

Mine also used the Watermill heightmap and mask, but I had tried to make it a sort of infected cave type thing. I never released, though, haha.

The first map I ever made was a map called Cougar Cliffs. It's a mountain forest map I made because I like mountain scenery. I was surprised to find out some people actually still use it.

I've been using FH since 2011, so I honestly can't even remember which map was my first. One of the earliest ones I do remember making, though, was a really small island map with a cave covered by a waterfall. Then a put a bunch of caves inside the cave, for some reason. I also vaguely remember making a completely flat map, and I just covered the edges in trees.... perhaps that one was my first.

My old maps were really bad.

I believe my first map was for Ramine's Nerogauls (sp) map, for her species RP. It was very cosy, had a little cave too which you could enter through a portal into another map. I was really proud of it considering it was my first map, it took me around 4 days to complete but it was worth it!

I wish I had screenshots, I really do, but I tried looking for them in my old map collection thread but all photobucket images appear to be deleted!
