The comments are really positive so I have a feeling this will be a good video.

[@windillboy]

Not gonna lie, I’ve never been particularly into this style of map making. I feel that the map ends up looking too blocky. However, I’m loving these tutorials! I sort of take on board the information and adapt them for my own unique terrain! So, thanks a lot!

[@DirectingPete]

You are very welcome! I actually abandoned that building style about a year ago in favor of this one! Hope this video helps as well! czcams.com/video/lU0olwDwxMo/video.html

[@brenden8548]

I’ve been making creative maps for ages, but you actually taught me some stuff I don’t know! Super jealous of that skin combo by the way, really wish I had Wonder.

[@DirectingPete]

Thank you so much Brenden. I feel the same way. Even though a ton hasn’t changed lately. I’m learning a lot of new things myself recently. It’s pretty cool.

[@brenden8548]

DirectingPete yeah there’s a ton of features I’ve only just now started using. Building to Prop is great for making ruined buildings sinking into the ground, or to make a sunken ship. It’s a pretty neat feature!

[@assassxn]

Bro, I just wanna say, thank you so much:)
I have been wanted to create a fully custom BR map but I have been unsuccessful 8 times. YIKES!?
This video really helps me out with more about terrain and where the roads start where they end and everything is well explained. Definitely subscribing from 2 channels
