Nice job Dre.

I'll drop a link to Raigen who will patch this into the ENB Screenshot thread at GTAForums to get some more traffic.

Thanks everyone and i hope to see something new, cause i getting lacked by new idea's and i really want to have Red Dead Redemption map for GTA IV.. In mean time i'm going to work on it and edit a bit to fit like an island with some additional tarmac roads =) as for most part Red Dead Redemption will be the main thing of the project, not like EFTW with Las Venturas i was trying last time.

here my id: metalwarz@hotmail.com

I am interested to making a map, but no one teach me

Posted on March 5, 2012 9:12AM by metalwars

@metalwars: there is no school for that, or not that i know of it anyway use youtube to see what it can offer you building terrain models, as for your error try to send feedback or get to gims forum and ask him.. i made tutorial just for those who can work allready in max or have some quick learnings skillz =)

I could probably make some pretty awesome maps with this. I'm already pretty good with 3ds Max and I've been using it since 2008. I appreciate the tutorial because I've been wanting to make maps for a while and I have everything on my computer (except cityscape because finding a working link for it is difficult).

The download keeps stalling out and takes 20 minutes to download 1 part when it usually takes me 30 seconds

Posted on March 11, 2012 6:12PM by DaMonkeyOnCrack

Well it finally got done in about an hour and this will speed things with making maps ALOT!!! Thanks for the tut.

stilldre, when are you going to create a bonneville salt flat map mod for gta iv?

Posted on April 18, 2012 10:46AM by gta4maniac77

i have 3ds max 10 do you have to have 3ds max 12?

Posted on April 21, 2012 6:41AM by IIZACHARIAHII

anyone know where i can mind 3ds max 12 cause i got it from the autodesk website where you had to sign up to it, but when i downloaded it i seems like it didnt complete cause during the installation on 99% it said corrupted file cab1 or somethink like that also it said to download it again but i do not want to risk it.:/

and thanks for the programs information, very usefull

The only problem I have is Cityscape will not export anymore. It says I need to register and it keeps failing to receive a key due to it is no longer available. How can I get a key to continue

Nice tutorial, 10/10 !!

Btw i want to ask, i had successfully make a map mod based on your tutorial..

But why the texture is in Low Quality ? No matter it's 512px or 1024px it's still LQ in game

Is it from the model it self or in some other things

The site with Open IV is not good. My virus protection says it is bad. Wtf?
