osu!mapping: aesthetics

explaining how aesthetics play a role in mapping through common examples.
"make patterns because songs make patterns. break patterns because songs break patterns."

[@earliness]

And this, fellow mappers, is why I map taiko: it's all in the timeline ;D

[@VerkoAviarhidea]

earliness i guess we can all agree that the laziest mappers are those who don't map at all

oh my god you said everything i would ever want to say about aesthetics

[@nzuria8135]

Pishi's advice for deathstreams is 10/10

[@beafowl8489]

I'm just watching this because of your beautiful voice I'm not even a proper mapper xd

[@dimitrisntaganos5879]

same here

[@tipiq1357]

His voice is sexy.

[@umbra7859]

I am so happy that someone is trying to explain aesthetic! It is something that I struggle with in my mapping. Have you ever felt, when you started mapping, that you were stuck behind some kind of invisible barrier forcing you to have a perfect pattern and symmetry? I absolutely love your video btw

[@cali86784]

we all did lol

[@freejdg]

i like your mapping style

[@milosmiljkovic5975]

Pishifat, could you explain blankets, importance of blankets, how to make them perfectly, and when blankets are a nono. I know most of that but I got tired teaching new mappers about blanketing every time ;D

[@zunv]

So you said "If the song doesn't change, why should an aspect of the map change so drastically" But it is so hard tell when something is starting to get boring or monotonous and when something is overdone because it changes to fast. Sometimes when I map a section, I think: "This could be too boring and monotonous." Then I look at it again after its done and think of the opposite.

[@dusaprukiyathan1613]

I know this comment was 2 years ago, but osu!mapping: variety

[@NevoPlaysGames]

it's all about the A E S T H E T I C S

[@tabletalenovo9695]

2:30 frostwich being himself

[@this1neguy]

any chance of either (a) streaming yourself mapping an entire song or (b) recording, cutting/speeding up, and uploading a video of it? would love to see a beatmap being created from start to finish - I know spaghetti and smoothie world have done stuff like that but it'd be cool to see something a little more in depth maybe uwu

[@pishifat]

ive streamed map creation before but i didnt really like doing it. recording may happen eventually but i dont really have plans lol

[@penguinlrs9393]

"tell me how to hit deathstreams a 250bpm" "you hit the buttons" "really really really really really" "fast" that was so great

[@wyattcharron1753]

Pishi will usher in a new wave of mappers which is great.

[@nathan1]

pishi's cursor movement is visually appealing

[@YuiraKun]

I gotta say Skystar makes the most unique enjoyable symmetrical sliders

[@sgetyio]

I have no intentions of ever getting into mapping but this is nice to watch

Can u make a video when u explain how to make patterns like big black ?

[@ATP980]

can you make a video about 'shit maps' or what makes a map shit pls?

[@wolken_bruch]

yee

[@TehGlitchGuide]

Ａ Ｅ Ｓ Ｔ Ｈ Ｅ Ｔ Ｉ Ｃ Ｓ.. Great video once again pishi.

[@MrJoezapyofrulers]

Wait, what's the reason behind the 5 degree tilt exactly? Why is it so common?

[@pishifat]

symmetry and repeated things are clearly recognizable the "5" could be replaced with any number to get the same results (assuming it's repeated throughout a map/section)

[@LicensedContractor]

Rumor has it you got 100 on Nacht

[@pishifat]

a long time ago

[@Haganenno121]

what is Nacht

2:25 How do you make an equilateral triangle on a square grid? The math doesn't check out.

[@ExplosiveBrohoof]

Disable grid snap, copy, paste, rotate 60 degrees. Delete helper circles.

[@worstosuplayer513]

-tell me how to deathstream 250bpm -click the buttons really really relaly really really fast 4:23 xdd

thanks! what's next?

Can you do something on how to make a high SR map readable with a very large CS (3 or below)

[@llawliet5126]

Your still alive. I miss you I wish I could see at least one bo3 video from you.

[@grimrapper5202]

!skin also don't think that your videos is shit, there's tons of people thanking you right now without you even realizing (especially about mapping, which there's so hard to master because there's too many mapper who's giving his suggestion without giving real answer)

[@pishifat]

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7518324/new%20skin.osk i consider that editor video bad since it didn't explain anything. this one is nice though

[@grimrapper5202]

here's why your editor video isn't bad (IMO): 1. you're the only one who states how to set up offset in the first place (most people just explain how to sync the offset at the whole song) 2. creating a slider point without deleting the slider (or I'm just too dumb) 3. The "scale by" option by the Edit menu (since it's confuses me the first time and decided to scale it manually 4. Timing section, cuz no one knows the t Inherited points means in the first place and decided to ignore it (and ended up screwed up the SV and BPM menu in the process) 5. The Design Section (ft. Damnae via Skype *wink* *wink*) 6. How to make good-shaped streams without placing all of it manually (I know, I'm dumb) and you said it didn't explain anything...

[@z2duck506]

how to i get a background from i map i like using the beatmap editor

[@GameDSS]

Can you make a video about making map process?

[@kolja783]

Sooooo basically djpop is the best mapper.

[@sheamus56]

Do you normally play in that way? I mean the natural circular movements. Ive seen it on every video that you post. Is it just for emphasizing?

[@pishifat]

only when playing easy stuff lol

[@romeo__7297]

Really got scared when you asked "What is a triangle?" there. Math classes will fuck you up.

[@vaarka7534]

When I saw "Opsianos mentioned your name in the chat", I went all "OMGGGGG OPSIANOS!!!!" (I'm the one who showed him osu!)

[@septclues]

I love your taste in music. Also- Can you please add easter eggs to your videos?

[@pishifat]

what if there already are easter eggs
