Sometimes it can be intimidating to look at beautiful TDM maps. But there are some very simple tips to make your maps look better. Here is a collection of simple things mappers can do:
1. Uneven Ground
Here's a simple little tip for making your maps look a little more realistic and less flat.
When making outdoor streets, yards or tunnels, it's common to just make a regular, flat brush for the floor. This tends to look artificial. In reality, dirt tends to accumulate along the edges of buildings/walls, and the center areas sink a bit due to traffic and/or run-off.
While modelling a completely uneven floor might be too time-consuming, there's a quite and easy way to break up the flatness of the ground.
