Kick Start
- Baby Steps, getting your legs, do this first
- Official Map Blueprint
- Beherith's Mapping Toolchain
- Forboding Angel's Mapping Toolchain
- etc etc
Map Feature Specifications
These arent tutorials but rather technical documentation for the features, Its Implementation and Flexibility/Limitations, and discussion with pro's and cons for how to implement them.
- Texture Map
- Height Map
- Mini Map
- Resources/Metal Map
- Resources/Geothermal
- Water/Lava/Whateva
- Terrain Type Map
- Specular Map
- Detail Map
- Splat Map
- Grass
- Features
- Dynamic Features
- Music
- Lua Shaders
Howto's
how to create a specific type of map for game types, or emotional content, can include full tutorials, or anything
- Space
- Cave
- Sandy Dunes
- Snow
- Map Lighting
Tools
Tool Specific Tutorials.
SpringMapEdit
ImageMagick
MapConv
MapConvNG
- Optimisation
GIMP
Blender
- Sculpting Terrain and rendering a height map.
- Rendering the Diffuse Map
- map feature placer and exporter
- modeling features and exporting them
- animating units and exporting them
Typical frustrations
Blender
- Blender will crash when you run out of ram, either reduce the complexity of what you are doing or upgrade hardware.
GIMP
- Dealing with alpha channels
