Mainly just getting my eye in with all the new assets so far, though a side effect is a reskin of an old map of mine:

How did you get the immortal forge cliffs to be space cliffs like Daelam Ark?

Or is it just a texture swap of the Immortal Forge cliff up on the Daelam Ark cliff?

Digging around in my map folder today and I opened up this map from a while ago. I think I'll work some more on this.

Thanks. It's a campaign-style map, many of those units and doodads are campaign-exclusive, unfortunately.

All the hots campaign doodads are available in melee dependencies as well, aren't they? Or is there even more?

There's more. Most of the doodads are available in melee dependencies, but a lot of that is actually composed of units. The landed dropships, the large fortress and gate in the last picture, the walls and turrets in the bottom left of the second picture, are all units. Plus a bunch of campaign-only combat units like the Gorgon battlecruiser, mercenary variants, firebats, diamondbacks and so forth.

Some terrain objects are campaign-dependent as well, I believe.

I really like your ideas but the scale is still a mess in some parts, like in a lot of sc2 maps but it's really obvious in this pic.
Blizz has trained people to not give a damn about the scale of a scene.
The crumbled buildings look about right but you need to reduce the scale of the plants and place more of them, this goes for a lot of objects that should be small in sc2.
The texuvget/texuvset console commands can fix the texture scale so you don't have marble/stone tiles the size of a Thor.
Basically when making a scene you need to review everything to see that the scale matches, this really makes a difference for the final result.

I'm not picking on you because this is in a lot of sc2 maps, and even if it's just draft quality, well.....that usually gets left in.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I never considered it a huge deal though. The water plants can be fixed, but a lot of stuff (buildings especially) are basically impossible to get right. The ones here are fine, since they're basically piles of rubble, but in the non-destroyed parts of the city the buildings and stuff are ridiculously small-looking.I can make them bigger, but making everything to-scale (especially when the units themselves use such a myriad of scales) is challenging, to say the least since buildings now take up a lot extra space. In game, though, people tend not to notice since they're busy fighting.

Hi guys. I tried making maps for a bit a lil over a year ago but had to stop due to RL and all that Jazz.

Here is a Link to some of the maps I made - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=176455

Also if you want to see any maps I previously made you can just type "Archi" in the TL search to see them. (there is about 30 or so I think)

I thought I wasn't bad at the Aesthetic side of map making and did pretty ok in a couple of the TL comps at least in the aesthetic side.

Im going to try and get back into it, partly coz its fun and mostly coz the you guys were all REALLY friendly and helpful, taught me everything I knew and this is a great community for beginners and experts.

Heres hoping I make something decent for you all to play soon.
