This is my first real attempt at a decent looking map, up till now all I have done is dabble with the toolset with mixed results.
There are a couple of things I don't find totally convincing personally
1) The dirt path didn't really make the leap from my imagination to the screen as I'd pictured it.
2) I'm not sure if I'm being brave enough laying down my grass textures, is the base mud texture showing too clearly through the grassy areas?
Any other comments you have would be gratefully received, so please don't hold back and tell me what you think!
The area itself is a small campsite area that you might just be able to recognize if you play alot of PC games. If someone can correctly identify the setting it will make me very happy because i think it means I'm on the right track!
02/17/09 : Added my second area, a small burial ground. Unpopulated but I have added ambient sounds and placed lighting which were not present in my first area.
I noticed the green flatness in the center where the road enters town and it's 2 roads, (sorry going from memory, I looked at the file and then deleted it.) The rest of the campsite looked hilly. Just the center green part seemed flatter.
I tried to download it, but it instantly opened my Windows Media Player instead of prompting me for download. _________________________ Ugly_Ducks Portfolio

Thanks for your feedback indyanna! Planks on the path would look fantastic, they wouldn't really fit with the area I based this map on but it's a 're-imagining' rather than a 100% faithful clone. I'll slap some planks down and see how they look.
Do you mean hills within the campsite walls or outside? I think I could probably find room for some grassy mounds.
The grass looks pretty good. I would put planks on the road and use the color tool to darken it. I would also put some hills on the grassy part of the campsite. The base mud texture looks good to me. It's a good first area.
