Yes same here. Texturing is my least fave. It's hard to pick the right texture for stuff, and make it work with everything else.

hmm...well ,lets c
1-texturing ,specially when organizing multiple brushes 2gether
2-patch and lod terrain manupilation,if u make a mistake there isnt any undo ,since i use it alot (undo funciton) i sometimes click it deleting the whole thing :evil:
3-small brushes 2 make a whole look more realistic,u keep adding alot of small brushes on the ground and on the object that has the hole (no not that :twisted: )in ur map
4-furniture is also a little annoying since its a little similar 2 the previous one,u have 2 place alot of it so it looks real
5-most thing i hate though is mohradient itself.so primitive ,and its soooo buggy .i cant rotate a freakin dead body without it crashing .there are also alot of stuff in radient that just makes u wanna blow the damn monito out of ur face :x .

edit:i also forgot compiling :D

LOD terrain and compiling times are a big pain for me...

I have a feeling LOD Terrain is hard for quite a few ppl. It would be cool to have a sticky about tricks of the trade for easy (if possible) terrain manipulation.

Texturing, I can create a building or an area in not much time, but texturing it all properly takes twice the time as to build it.!!!

And what JV_MAP said, waiting in great anticapation as it compiles for hours then just to find out half of everything ain't 4 sh!t. :x

Waiting a lot of hours for a compile and then find out it looks crappy
this is the most annoying thing,specially when u think everything is fixed and u do a final compile and wait hours and hours 2 find just one small tiny little thing that looks horribly wrong :x .
Compiling doesnt count, I mean who Enjoys! compiling?
after u think of it actually its not that bad because
I even picked up myself playing Age of Empires 2 while waiting for compiling lol!!!
u get 2 catch up on games and stuff :D .usually i go around my harddrive organising folders and stuff cause everything is so messy here (120 gbs)
but i do play games sometimes since my computer can handle the punishment (compiling + games)

This may be alittle off topic, but M&M you dont have to worry. You have plenty of spare computers around to do stuff with.
