Cinematics Cinematic is a specific type of map in which there is no gameplay; the player is merely a spectator watching a sort of movie in which the map author is the producer and narrator of the events. You'll find discussion threads for popular cinematic maps like CMarket's The Lone Panther here.

Please help!

After my first cinematic was so thoroughly rejected (rated 2.5 out of 5) i realised that im no good at cinematics.

WoT Cinematic.w3x

This is the map. Its bad, i know, right? I thought it was fine, but, oh well. Now, i would really like some tips on how to improve it. If anyone can help me, i would really appreciate it, please.

Btw, if im not allowed to do this, please tell me, because i couldnt find any rule that said i couldnt. ok.

This is a review made by LordKalla. I hope you appreciate it :)

The Wheel of Time is made by Blackhoof. Its inspired of a book that i havent read, but i will review the cinematic anyways.

[/] The grammer was not very bad, but there were some misspellings here and there.
[-] The Healing Wave spell sound kept on going forever in the rest of the cinematic! Fix this, its annoying.
[-] The Camera was way too static. No movement at all, which made the scenes unattractive to watch.
[-] There was little to no tile variation. It made the terrain boring to look at. Also smooth the hills and stay away from Blizzard Cliffs. They look very bad.
[-] In the first scene, it looked like you just spammed 1 type of house, which also ruined the terrain. Try making a city instead of just the same houses on a line with no tile or height variation

All in all you need to fix all the red things before i would like to approve this. Thank you for reading :)

  • The camera should always be moving
  • The camera angles are bad, fix them
  • The terrain is empty
  • Don't use blizzard cliffs, use the heighten tool
  • Stop the healing ray sounds when the spell is finished
  • The terrain is flat at some points
  • A few typos
  • Don't spam cinematic effects
  • Use the Ultimate terraining map to make beautiful landscapes etc with thousands of custom doodads/models
  • Add custom music, a cinematic can be as big as you want

Do the things I've mentioned above and it may become a little better. Below is the ultimate terraining map.

No, I didn't have any problems understanding the story.
