I have just started my first map, a city based in Southeastern USA. There will be local neighborhoods, *Dollar General*, local stores and shops, and many more features! There is a river running straight through the map for all your water needs. *THE IMAGES YOU SEE ABOVE ARE IN BEAMNG DRIVE, HOWEVER THAT IS ALL A GOOGLE EARTH PNG THAT IS NOT THE FINISHED PROJECT, NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY BEAMNG ROADS OR MESH* I used https://manticorp.github.io/unrealheightmap/ for a 3d model of a city in the Southeast. I then used the same website to get a satellite PNG of the area, and upload it to Beamng as a texture. I then put it on the map using Terrain Painter, and am using this as a guideline. *I AM NOT MAKING MY OWN CITY I AM COPYING A REAL LIFE CITY* This is a 4x4 km map This map will be great for: RP STREET RACING BOATING DRIFTING *parking lots yay* *There will be a few offroad trails, but not many, so probably not offroading* Let me know if you would like to have anything added to the map, and I hope to finish it this summer.
Thanks for the offer! what specialties of making a map are you good at? I would love help, because this is my first map
ok great! I have some 3d models but i cant figure out how to import them into Beamng --- Post updated --- I watched tutorials but they arent working for some reason --- Post updated --- https://www.beamng.com/threads/replacing-terrain.104879/
I see, also i got another question if you dont mind me asking. Will there be a controlled access freeway in the map?
Thank you for asking! Sadly The answer is no. this map has a main highway, but no interstates. There is an interstate around 3 km away though, so maybe i will ad one in a year or so. Well after the beta release. I appreciate all comments and questions! Feel free to ask more! --- Post updated --- As of right now i am still trying to import a 3d model with textures I have watched countless tutorials, and it just will not work. Any help is appreciated!
Nice! This is pretty ambitious for a first map, but I know you can make it happen. Glad to see you're already getting connected in the community. I'm from Florida originally, now living in Tennessee, so I'm happy to see a map from my part of the country!
Thank you! This map is based heavily on Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and the Florida panhandle. I'm glad you are interested!
sorry this is not finished yet. unless you want a google maps png with like 10 roads on it sure, but its not finished LOL --- Post updated --- GUYS I DID IT i finally imported a 3d model from blender!!! its a house from sketchfab, but it works. --- Post updated --- Uh oh i just updated to 0.36 now my map is gone... Im trying to bring it back guys
That is fine with me. That's 7 more roads than my google maps based level. I'd like to follow your progress and see if I can learn anything.
Please add good ditches, I like to PIT maneuver vehicles and its really cool when the ditches are modeled well, with water, drainpipes, and small rocks that make it more likely to flip. Also please have street signs be non-collidable, its annoying when you clip a small sign at high speed and destroy your vehicle. Open garages for some houses and loading docks for businesses would also be great. Also, highways work best in loops with beam, otherwise you end up hitting the end pretty quick.
I plan on doing all of these LOL but as of right now, my map has dissapeared after 0.36 :/ I have no clue how to get it back so im trying --- Post updated --- alright guys i have come to the conclusion that my map has been deleted... I have copied my 0.35 version over to 0.36 and it is still the basic template map. I believe it is because my map was unpacked, and the game did not recognise it when it updated. If anyone knows anything more that would be great. I will still continue the map, and i will be restarting.
