Two studio maps that combine the featurelessness of the black/white map with the platforms of Burnt Forest and the foreground/background travel of Trosh Nest but without the use of portal so that the portals do not interfere with the featurelessness of the map.
This sort of map would be an optimal playground for camera tomfoolery that most maps do not allow for as easily.
It could also be good for testing out character/class agility/maneuverability/stonker parkour skills.
It features large platforms with sufficient gaps and of overhang space that make room for relatively free-er camera movement, accessible by way of smaller platforms that should not interfere too much with any movement.
There would be a foreground area and a background area that the camera follow you to by way of two tunnels positioned so that they cannot be too easily accidentally walked into by way of the main larger platforms.
It would also include deactivatable minimap as in the ones seen in dungeons, so that one would not lose track of the otherwise invisible platforms or the side tunnels.
Of course, this would all be at its most useful with the advanced nasod camera, but it should still be useable without it, and the minimap should be a toggleable option that doesn't require use of the advanced camera.
Figure A shows the front and back maps layout.
Figure B shows how it should actually look with the character positions for reference.
Figure C shows the side layouts for how it should look when the camera follows you as you go through the transitions.
Figure D shows how that should look with the character positions for reference.
Figure E is the layout of the whole map as seen from an isometric view to explain all of what should be there.
Figure F is the overhead topography of the traversable parts of the map.
