I wanna learn how to map. I KNOW I can't model or texture, but I want to at least learn how to map because that I'll actually get. Can you teach me?

thats the thing mapping looks easy but it isnt! there is so much to do! once you have created the terrain and applied textures then you have to arrange static meshes get layout right compile lightmaps get undergrowth overgrowth correct, if you have water you have to get a good balance with surrounds, its tougher than u think, i have tried! lol

Yeah I tried it too, and then after I saw how much work it was and how long it takes to make even just a decent small map, I decided to skin instead.
