I hope dapperhayden uses your words to fuel his fire to break-in.

    A little about me: I am a realistic artist and I got many art commissions... several good paying ones where working for model railroaders. I was paid to model and paint the backgrounds. My clients were pleased with my work and are requesting me to do a few more jobs for them...I just have to find the time.. I can also say the editor did help me improve with the modeling part of the those jobs. I also work for a game company, a small company but I am in the game field I enjoy, and I can honestly tell you some of what I learned on the far cry editor has helped me there as well. I don’t agree that you are born either as an artist or not. Some people start out artistically inclined but I for one had to work at it and it took years of practice to get where I am. I hope to keep improving as I go.

    I don't like the direction Ubisoft has gone with New Dawn just being a SP game and them stopping editor support. Shame. But I will keep building because I enjoy it. This editor does have some things to teach us all, we just have to be open to receiving it.

    PS what's up with the FarCry-is-dead name change and trump picture? Makes me not respect what you are saying as much as I used to.. :/
    Dont worry im still the same AWLS. me and dapperhayden have history, he was spreading false accusations about the club. the new name and picture is just my way of giving ubisoft the middle finger for abandoning fc5 support (arcade) to put all resources into fc new dawn. trump vs sjw new dawn lol. i will be hosting a dedicated server when fc2 is free with gold from the 16th. but apart from fc2 im done with map making. i still stand by my claim that the map editor biggest problem is the fact it's owned and created by ubisoft. i have great respect for the guys and girls who created the awesome fc5 editor but have ZERO respect for the bosses/higher ups who show the community little respect and longterm support. to the people that make the map editor, when you leave ubisoft please use your skills to make an editor for some other game. take it away from ubisoft PLEASE.

    I am a mapper, and have over a decade and a half experience in 3ds max, Photoshop, and a good handful of years in Mudbox, i am planning an FPS title and once i build the main characters (only started the first one, recently retired from Indie Dev'ing) i will present the Design Document and Assets i created to the Epic Forums and Recruit Talent to make the game a Demo/Alpha, and hopefully a Early Access Game on Steam.

    What i suggest is you try out Unreal Engine 4 (free to publish games as you wish, only pay Royalties if you make $250,000 or more on the game, and only 5-10%)

    If you would like to be a Map Designer, i would love to work with an experienced mapper such as yourself, i will add you on Uplay, and hopefully we can talk about building a great FPS that is Mostly a Story-Telling FPS with similar mechanics to FC5, with driving, exploration, and story-telling (But we will allow "Skippable Cut-Scenes ) but vastly ddiffernt setting, tried a Release of the game's concept (which i own) and we made it to Demo Release on ModDb.com, but never finished it due to the Main Programmer leaving for Military Service and 2 of the mappers still in College, without a Main Programmer, they felt it was dead and left the team.

    Thanks for all of your maps, i think some even got ported to PC, i don't remember all the names of the maps i've played or their creators, but i've had a blast creating maps in FC 5 Arcade, even thouhg there are no plugins for creating your own assets in Blender r Milkshape or 3ds Max or Maya.

    [EDIT] i tried adding you on Uplay, i know cross-platform isn't a thing, but i hoped it would at least give me a friend on Uplay, feel free to add me on Steam, Same Name, and we can see about putting that good talent to use for fun (and profit, hopefully) And i don't know if you have a PC but the editor is pretty straight-forward and having someone build Custom Assets that you can simply place in and even brain-storm about the direction you would like to go and modifying the theme to your liking would work with me, i'm very flexible, and have good working knowledge of making props and assets for mappers, did so since Unreal Tournament 2k3 [EDIT]

    Some recent models i've created just to keep my skills un-rusted, that aren't under NDA:

    3rd person (in-game model) of a Counter Terrorist Unit Agent:


    8,000+ Polygon Basic AK-47 with iron sights aligned for CQC:

    Im sorry i missed your reply. thanks for the kind words and offer but i just cant see myself making maps anymore. im on xbox. thanks again for the very nice reply, It means a lot to me when people make nice comments thanks.

    If you had a good PC rig you could make maps for like HHour or Taskforce. Them are 8vs8 one life round games and have multiple game modes. Just no vehicles. But they are more less tribute games to Socom Navy Seals.

    Yeah I remember the false accusations bit too... seems to me you both take things too far sometimes. But yes I agree, I am pretty disappointed as well that they cut support, they were in my opinion frustratingly close to getting things right on this editor. More game modes and MP budget being the big ones, but a number of little things could have been fixed too.. Frustrating...

    NOTE to Ubisoft: I will buy New Dawn if you at least update in some assets from the upcoming game to the Arcade editor. I would like to suggest you take a look at Uncharted Lost Legacy. Similar situation here but Naughty Dog brought the MP part of Uncharted 4 to Lost Legacy and made it compatible in both plus added a few things in... Players who owned either game could go online and play MP. It was a smart move and the sales for those games are very good. I would guarantee that you would get many, many more sales if you followed Naughty Dogs example on this one... I would buy it no question. But as of now I am not planing on getting New Dawn...

    Well I for one understand AW.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yes for sure, but it was people like AW who created the eye in the first place. With natural talent. And that is something that cannot be learned. Only copies and variants exist from underlings.

    If you are going AW, I will miss you .

    Thanks for the kind words sab. ive said in the past a few times that i quit mapping but i always get pulled back in like a bad habit lol. it's likely to happen again if my passion returns. i just cant find the mental energy for mapping these past months.

    Real life can pull us in and out of the zone. Ideas will come to you. Sometimes it stops raining but the mud stays for a while.

    I had a holiday in Scotland a long time ago. I stayed there for a fortnight, It only rained once. Lasted 14 days.
