You know how tons of people have posted giant ships made on avalanche? I don't know how to start on mine and if someone posted a tutorial it would make that section of forging more popular, and would sprout more ideas.
Well, an easy way is to save and quit, or you can stack up boxes on a flat piece of ground until you reach the certain height and save-and-quit the rest. That's what I did for my old maps.
Starting it is the hardest part. Try sketching it out on a sheet of paper and using the save and quit technique to get the objects in the air. Hope this helped!
That actually did help, I never thought of drawing it out first. This way I will know exactly were it all has to be. Thanks. Edit: I am on right now, making the ship. If anybody wants to help, my GT is NeonStalker.
Just start it and don't think about it too depply. I agree starting is the hardest part. You can always edit or redo parts you are unhappy with, I find its easier to dive into it so there is something to work with rather than to sit looking at an empty canvas thinking what the best method is.
Mallet speaks truth. Sometimes sitting there and staring at a weaponless version of a map will make it worse. My reccommendation would be to make a box float. The put a box on top of it, but make it hang off. Put a box under that one, next to the original. Keep doing that until you have a big floating floor. It makes building things easier and will alow you to have much cleaner interlocks than just saving, quitting, and praying. One last tip is to make sure it doesnt look even remotely like the UNSC ships and stuff people make. Huge flood of them. Look in the first 3 or so pages of asthetic maps and youll find like 10 or so of them. They might give you ideas aswell.
