    Default May / June 2015 Lite Challenge: Mountain Stream Ambush

    I've been absent for a while on the forum, but I'm back and with a new map

    Here is a quick little battle map I made up. It took maybe 2 hours. The image is 50% size. Please tell me what you think.

    Hey JonPin, welcome to the challenge. It's great to see more people join in.

    I'm very impressed that you put that together in about two hours. It would probably take me about two years LOL! It looks fantastic. Are you going to add labels or text or anything like that?

    Thank you! But it's really not that hard. Maybe I'll do a tutorial. It's really all about the shadows and highlights. You add them over the textures to show depth.

    About adding the labels, I don't know. You think I should?

    Wouldn't do any harm to add labels. The challenge is to 'map an ambush', so some labelling would help others understand the details of the ambush better, and this lets you fulfil the challenge criteria more thoroughly. But it's not obligatory, so if you don't feel like it, no probs!

    I added some labels. It might read better as an ambush. I don't know, what do you think?

    Labelling looks good and gives a sense of what's happening. I just noticed your little waterfall on the right. I don't know how I missed that before, but it looks fantastic!
