Special thanks to Santa Samurai for teaching me everything i know about mapping.
These are step by step tutorials that will teach you the basics of making a decent map under different conditions.

First we begin by filling the ground with the normal terrain that the area is defined by in the first layer.
IE: Using snow in snow town and fill the first layer.
Next using the second layer we will create the roof of the building.
