No this sounds different.
A Mapping brainstorming...
Is it to make maps or to have a team of peeps to beta test your map?
I can't think of a system that would allow you accomplish this with 6 people.
If you split them up into sections, you'll get differences in style for each section.
If you split them into catagories (texturing, building, layout, lighting etc) you will, imo, get inconsistent and different feels for each attribute.
Give it a try if you want, but to me it just sounds like you need a few people closely monitoring your progress and giving you suggestions/critisisms etc.
i think its a good idea...might not work but might aswell give it a try.
The reason why you would talk before u actually get down to creating a map is to get rid of some of those inconsistent feels, make sure everyone has the right idea about the areas they have been tasked to do.
Then once you have ironed out some of the problems that 'WILL' be faced by such a team then u get down to actually designing layout, what look you want in certain areas and what textures you want used.
All sections would be examind by the team to get the right look and feel the team leader wants for the map.
It would be a good experience for the people to understand what its like to work as a team.
If done the right way it could create a very good map..each mapper bringing in his/her own design and style and ideas.
Feel free to drop in on our regular meetings Lonix. Meetings are held in #nsmapproject on the gamesnet IRC network at 2PM GMT on Saturdays and 7PM GMT on Wednesdays.
I am interested as to how u actually did this sort of project.
and was wondering if there was space for one more? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
