Looks cool.
I also found skygeirr outer a very easy tileset to work with. You can literally put everything in and it will turn out ok. Ill post some screenshot once i get home.

@Samro225: Yeah, the map thread can be found here. I'm not to happy with the layout, but i learned a lot in terms of textures. I finally learnt how to use certain textures which i thought are awful, but which help a map shine if they are used correctly.

this looks kind of confusing actually. the hard transitions kind of makes me think there are cliffs there when obviously there isnt.

also regarding the snow, the noise brush has saved me. i was trying for a long while to figure out how to merge the different textures but it never ended up looking good because of the 1) falloff on soft brushes 2) snow/grass terrain isnt so well suited to hard transitions. noise brush's randomness is exactly what i was looking for.

Maybe, but it does look very pretty, I want to try it some time.

I've made a totally useless discovery, guys: the inspiration Blizzard used to create their only 3p map, Elysium.

How do you guys manage to surpass the feel that your maps look like crap? i always get that feeling when i'm about to publish my maps even with maps such as Cloud Atlas (probably my best regarded map acording to looks), and that i could improve them even more, even tho when i don't even know how.

Some pics.

I don't surpass it, but thinking every single map looks like crap happens to help.

Let's face it, SC2 as a game looks like crap. Blizzard isn't known to make lookers. They have always favoured clarity over eye candy.

Is that a bit easier to look at?

1st version looks man made, 2nd version more natural and also just looks better, also at nat nat and 3rd its more clean = better. Good changes.

I like the new texturing a lot more, eTc. One of the only problems I had with Yeonsu was those hard lines, they make the map look so man-made in my opinion.
