I've been absent from q3 mapping for a long time and now that I am able to work on q3 mapping and related art projects, how much time would you say you spend a day or week working on or testing related projects?

I basically just toy with ideas. I enjoy watching others work more than working myself.

Putting it all together I think my work on anything related to q3 mapping averages about an hour daily.

It depends if i have something to work on, if ive got a map which Im enthusiastic about i could spend up to 6 hours a day or more if i have nothing to do, but atm if something has only a slight interest only about an hour or so.
Its the same with making textures :]

For the mapping competition I got up at 10 or 11 am, got breakfast and smth to drink and started Radiant. Then I worked on it until 2 or 3 am. After those 2 weeks of work I was very tired and couldn't see any grids anymore. Then I fell into some kind of a working hole for 2 days... Hm hm. If I am interested in a map, have a deadline AND have time and ideas then I kind spend a lot of time on it. Otherwise, meaining w/o a deadline I think I am working on a map, 1 or 2 hours a day?

when i decide to make a map i set aside a couple weeks where i don't work, go outside or shower. Not intentional but that's just the way it happens for me.

It depends on my mood and what I want to do.

If you enjoy mapping you spend as much time on it as you can;izy. :P

I'm not as extreme as axbaby but I also got phases where I spend a considerable part of my free time mapping. When the map is finished I usually take a break of several weeks (I tend to think about layouts from time to time and draw them on paper but I don't touch radiant).
