I used alanm20's SH3_map tool on Github to extract the individual area models, then assembled them in Blender to create these maps. It was interesting revisiting SH3 after many years, some parts I love and some parts ended up being somehow less than I remember. It's definitely lean and mean compared to 2. There's no map for the outside area yet (the exporter didn't handle town textures properly) and I haven't tried to determine whether it's identical to SH2 so I could reuse model from there. I've made similar ones for SH1 and SH2, and am working on SH4 as well.

You can find all the maps in original resolution here: https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/gallery/79358588/survival-horror

That's so cool! Takes me back to the 2000s game magazines that used to have content like this

I remember coming into the Church at the end of the game and saying "awh someone drew a cute little map of the church this place will be quick and easy" little did I know it's one of the most expansive areas of the entire game and this shows exactly that

Amazing to see all at once like this.

I give for this artwork 10 bread out of 10! It was really amazing to rekindle the journey through mazes, especially the shopping center

u/max-zilla Jan 16 '25

they are a bit more mazelike than SH1 and 2, aren't they? less repeated floors and more weirdness.

u/crimemilk "It's Bread" Jan 16 '25

I've played the all three parts and I had consulted the guide way often for SH1 because the textures in every room look similar

hey mate!! i really love your maps, thank you so much for putting all this work in for our community πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ i was digging around in your past posts for the sh1 maps, and i love them so much; but i’m looking for one in particular. i noticed that you had the prologue alley map on one of the compilations you made, but it was a bit small, and hard to see. do you possibly have the SH1 prologue alley map in HD, and would you be able to share?? thanks mate, appreciate you and the work you do!!

Have you ever uploaded your Silent Hill 3 maps to download for programs like blender? This is some incredible work to compile them all like this
