You may know the basics of mapping, but you may wonder: "how do the guys over at ProMods do this and that?" This video swill explain to you how some of our state-of-the-art mapping skills in bite-size chunks.

EPISODE 1: Curves & Slopes

This tutorial will explain to you the "Free Node" rotation property and why you should even bother with it to begin with. It will also give you some tips to keep in mind when designing curves and slopes.

NOTE: This tutorial assumes you know the basics of mapping in ETS2. If you want to learn the basics first, I'd recommend to check this topic here: http://promods.net/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=9685

Next episode: Better Bridges

Well... So I have to delete all my ramps and do them again, then spend hours to fit the terrain again and signs too :/
I was using many nodes to make it look nicely and the same way as in reality. Does it affect performance a lot? I don't have fps issues at my interchanges.

MandelSoft that tutorial is very helpful. Thank you so much.

By the way you have a very soft and cool voice

The use of more nodes may affect performance a bit, but not that you'd get sudden FPS drops. The main reason for node reduction is to make it smooth. Way smoother than you could do with more nodes.

And we continue this series...
