Your most beautiful layout(s) in your doom mapping carreer.

[Roofi]

Hello ! I found this thread very interesting :

 

 

 

So ,  that one is just a variant where you share  YOUR layout(s) instead of someone else's. Your most beautiful  layout doesn't necessarly mean your best map.

 

I will start with the layout of my map for Mayhem 2018 : Orange Edition.

Awesome D:

 

I don't have many really beautiful layout >.< Maybe this one from Exomoon:

I've not yet made too detailed maps but this ones from Urania. Even being a vanilla-format, this map is probably most complex and non-linear in the megawad. The main idea here is central area where the monsters are randomly teleported to another areas after 5 minutes of play. This brings even more variety.


Another one. Here I was inspired by Ghost Town of Plutonia, but with much more complexity. Many diagonal shapes are used.

I have a lot I'm satisfied with.

I... Don't make beautiful maps. I did once deliberately make an automap look like something, though:

And these are older maps from before I moved to UDMF and GZDoom so all lighting was manually done with sectors

Not the works of art I have seen here and in the other thread, but not completely ugly:

[Forli]

I don't really try at all to make my layouts look good, I think this is the best one I have.

Complex = Beatiful? No, really, i love what i am seeing, those maps are insane, very complex, i would love to play them.

I remember a member on the Doom Forums, not sure if it was New Doom Forums, or if it was here, but he made this map that had a depiction of 7 swords, and was very symmetrical.  Never got to play it, but it looked real nicely done.  I had made maps 'years' ago, but you know, formatting happens, or you forget to save old works :/

 

Maybe I'll get back into making maps again.  It's been forever since I've done any of that though.  Actually now that I think about it, I did my own take on The Stygian Abyss, but in Doom.  I wasn't trying to copy any map or anything, more of, the low ceilings and the dark, dark hallways, that was the feel I was trying to go for, and it was a kind of series.  As in, the exit from E1M3 would be the start location in E1M4.

I make really ugly map layouts, but if a were to choose a map with a distinctive layout it has to be this one


Also if you ignore the ugly exterior sectors on the upper right, this one is alright i guess

The map on the bottom, is kind of like maps I was making, and the map up top, are maps I want to make, but I quickly run out of ideas as I'm working on it lol.

 

Is this using just the default textures with retres.wad?  Or are there other resource wads out there?

First one uses nova texture pack, second one uses gothictx along with other textures

Don't worry too much about it, my earlier maps were rather messy but this year i got to improve my skills, you'll get there and make great map layouts if you keep honing your skills :)

[valkiriforce]

Well shoot I gotta include this one:

Amazing. How many hours does building something like this take?

[Doomkid]

ayyyy lmao

 

 

tfw you have the sad realization that all your maps are fugly in the automap. I guess Shovelware Adventure can pass as a modern map if you just look at the linedefs, pay no mind to the lack of detail!!

 

 

 

EDIT: How did I forget this little gem

These two layouts of mine are equivalent to Michelangelo's David:
