Wow, ego much? It's quality not quantity and from what I'm seeing, you can tell it's not a first map but it is no where near a "skilled" level. I can't stand bad UVs and ugly shaped boxy buildings. It's totally against the design and feel of halo.

When you make something that rivals Grove, Wartorn Cove, Cliffhanger, or any of the other great maps that come out, you can call yourself skilled.

Keep trying.

Well said, Smash.

You should post some pics to incite downloads. Never exclude pictures just because you want people to have to download it to see it. Type -screenshot in the target line for your Halo CE shortcut, and press the printscreen key while ingame. The shots will be saved to your Halo CE Screenshots folder.

Like I said, looks ok, but not great.

no, it's terrible. i can't easily identify anything besides grass. dedicate more time to modeling tutorials and practicing, because that right there is totally unacceptable. i have 0&#37; faith in your vehicle model now.

Planes are more accurate. UVW each side individually and that should make all you're errors go away.

Either way I figure it, you werent always a god at modeling. <_<

So if you want to offer your help go ahead, but stop pestering me over not being as good at modeling as you are.

He's not saying you're worse than he is. Everyone can already see that, and Snaf's talk isn't cheap. He's saying that if you even want your map to be possible considered of being taken seriously, you need to get better modelling skills.

In other words, don't re-release this map without redoing the modeling completely. Make it look good.

Oh, I think we got the picture when you joined these forums to troll Dano and every time he posted some work of his skins.

He is aware of that; for as good as he is, he has yet to release any maps.
He takes care and pride in his work.

You didn't release the map. :O
