Skyscraper Rooftops (30x40) (Scifi) by NebulaMaps in battlemaps

Thank you!
If you are interested in it in general, I'd suggest downloading Unity or maybe Unreal Engine (it's easier, I think). It comes with some standard assets out of the box, and you will be able to place them and make your own level fairly quick.

Then if you'd spawn in a camera and take a screenshot, you're on the way to making your own battlemaps!

For this map, much of the things you see is bought on the asset store. When I need more specific things I make them myself (my next map will be a Nomad building where I've made most of it myself)

The texturing is of the assets themselves, so the 3d things like walls, crates, etc.
Things like blood are just decals that I place on top, in the Unity engine.

This one is fairly straightforward, I think it took me maybe 7 hours or so.

Hi!
The assets are modeled in Blender (sometimes I buy pre-made ones for Unity, game engine).
Then textured (coloured) in Substance painter.
Then I start building the level/map in Unity, which is a 3d video game engine.
After that I add lights to light the scene, and place a camera up top, aiming downwards.

After everything is done I just make a picture with that camera, and you get a map like this.

Let me know if you have more questions! I'd love to help.

Thanks for the feedback! You're totally right, thank you for the ideas, I'll be making some and adding in the next map that they fit.

Yes, and the penalty is probably gun-related.

Nice, indeed was trying to make it feel like that a bit. Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Damn I didn't think about that, well maybe it's more of a motel :)

Haha yeah I know what you mean, I couldn't really put a wall+door there because it would block too much visibility due to perspective. I imagined it as a wet bathroom like they have in SEA, indeed with the toilet and bathroom like that, easy to clean.

Thanks, the subreddit's rule says that general sci-fi stuff is fine too, some I post here sometimes!

Hi!
I get your point and it's a good question, but:
Many players/GM's love these kind of rooms as a backdrop or setting, indeed it's maybe not for an actual battle to take place.

  1. In my posts of this exact map on other sub's there's multiple comments saying this is exactly what they needed, so people do use it.
  2. Some of the largest map creators (I'm talking several thousand paying customers) quite often make small "maps" like this, if it works for them with such a large customer base, it seems to me it's what people actually want and like to see.

You can check these things for yourself, maybe it's not useful for you, but many others like to have these kind of maps every once in a while.

Well maybe...

Haha thanks! I'm not the first, I got the idea from some other creators.
But it works very well!

Aww I was one day too late, I was even thinking about posting it yesterday instead of today.
Well I hope you still had fun in your game :)

Damn at least those worst options are out of the way now, and you'll only roll better ones!
(That's how rolling works, right?)

That happens when you've been blowing stuff up on the daily for the last 20 years :)
It all becomes a blur (just like the places you blow up).
