Ooh, a mapmaker discussion! Fun, fun.
What meshes do you struggle most to find for your maps?
I like to pay attention to detail, and most of the things I can never find are usually the little detail-y things. These can range from a specific type of flower, a rusty/old bucket, and even some special effects (unlike the ones Glaive has done, more subtle than those). Yes, now that I think about it, some of it is particles.
What's the biggest obstacle you face when map-making?
When an object just won't go where it's supposed to. Thank goodness for the XYZ arrows or I would be pulling my hair out.
Do you have a map-making pet peeve?
When I have to delete extra particles! Ughh, it's worth it because then you feel like a Hackerman™. Hmm, and also when the coordinates don't fit in the XYZ boxes. Though, it's not that far off but still annoying.
Math skillz = rounding helps. Placing a tiny object where you wish to place the gate to/from Cape is a good idea, that way it's more "exact."
Can we all calm down for just a minute and thank Kov for adding the place on mesh, and "Own Collision" button.
