which theme for custom map is good?

Sup guys this is my first post today im gona turn parttime mapper so now i got a few Qs so ty if u can answer my questions.:ggani: first, in the defult wc3 mapping pregram, how do you use third-party modles??( the defult only let you use the modles from the game) second, how do i make my own modles?? do i have to have any experiance to do that?

to do that, look over the tutorials (if they're up on the site yet). you have to have a few programs from the downloads section (if thats all up too emote_confused ) and you have to implement the files.

towards making custom models, not even i can do that yet. i havent even mastered skinning. you need 3D programs (3dsmax for example) and yes you do need experience to do it its not that easy unless you've mastered it.

and hi! welcome!

(BTW, this site was just put onto a new server which is why some things aren't up and running on the site :ggani: )

Ok, to respond to your poll I believe that those four types of maps are all made far TOO much already. What the mapping community wants is a truly innovative map, not just a new version of an old one.

PS: If you made Cinematic Maps as one of the choices, I'd have voted for it . We need more of them.

ooooooooooooo then ne one know where i can request skinz?? cauz i got a really good ww2 based map(saving privite ryan.....{and yes i know im lazy!})that i wana make buy lack of skin to make it come true..also is there any way i can implant music into a map??

Here's where you request skins, and importing music is BEYOND easy. You go to the Sound editor part of the WE, and click the Import external music button.

where do u request?/emote_sweat

Moved to map creations forum, as the poll is about map development etc. Model question answer: request the model at the model/skinning forum in a seperate post

id you wish to create own models or edit them its revelant to know thhe basics of modelling in 3d studio max, gmax, milkshape etc. Also being proficient in skinning and uv wrapping is a must if you wish to create high quality skins and new models. There are tons of tutorials outside this forum that teaches you these basics. Please refer them before you going to start on model creation in wc3, as it would be like creating gold from lead if you start without any knowledge of model editing at all.

In reponse to Insaniteus, I have made an original map. We Were Soldiers. Based mostly off the movie. Follow the link below for a bunch of info on it and to dl it. Feel free to post any ideas or thoughts about it.
