Anyone Need a Mapper?

Page 1 of 2Next

Hey everyone!

I'm currently project-less because I've decided to take some time off. Now that I'm about to get into mapping again, I don't know what to do.

For this reason, I'd like to map for someone else. This could be for a mod map, or a map pack.

Truth be told, when it comes to mapping, I like to know exactly what I'm doing, instead of stopping to wonder what to do. For this reason, I'm not a very good puzzle-maker unless I spend time working through the process. That's why I prefer to be looking at a plan/blueprint whilst I'm mapping.

So, just putting myself out there for the community.

Have a nice day! :thumbup:

EDIT:
Some stuff I've done (some of these screenshots are from other pieces of work I've done but not released).

I have a couple of plans, but they're are still kinda puzzleless anyway. If you're still sitting on your butt when the summer holidays start, I'll contact you.

I might need someone in the future, depending on how well the next release is received. But it will take a while to finish this first pack on my own :boring:

As msleeper said down below: Provide examples of your work!

Maybe this? http://forums.thinking.withportals.com/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=1731

Never use Logic to solve a puzzle, he's an idiot...

Asking if people need a mapper, and not providing examples of your work?

I'm always open to new members for backstock, however there are quite a few problems I've spotted with your showcase maps I dont want to go into detail
but I'll say that you should try to use wall textures on walls
get a nice prefab for your doors
make sure your laser emitters/catchers are flush with the wall, and they look best if the inset is small metal bricks
play through portal 2 to get a better sense of indicator lights
also bullseyes are only for catapult destinations, there is also an overlay for this that you can use instead of using the bullseye wall texture, this way you can have bullseyes over overgrown textures aswell
I'd also recommend using the a tide overlay for the edge of your toxic pits

this was in no way meant to be rude, just some friendly advice
best of luck to you :)



Also, I made a map just for you! Sunset

Thanks for the advice, I'll adhere to that in the future. Oh, and that was a catapult destination. The use of the catapult overlay is a much better method of doing that- I'll definitely put that to good use! :thumbup:

If you have any interest in trying to incorporate a penguin into hammer, that would be great for a map I'm making.
