Another mystic well

[Solaris]

A few day ago I´ve found fladdermaskens reflection tutorial
and thanks to that I finally made the alpha-tile stuff work.
Here is my first try, never done reflection before, mostly
because of being to lazy to flip every doodad.
Hope you like it...

Looks great, although you should cover up the shore with vegetation! And those reflections to the left appear to be a little small compared to the original trees! Great first attempt though, glad my tutorial came in handy

The reflections are done rather bad; the place around the fountain is reflected completely, while only a small part of the trees in the background are. Either size up the reflected trees or the reflections of the fountain and so on.

Other than that, you should probably fill something in the place behind all those trees. It looks like the world would just end there.

Thx a lot... Making the reclections by following your tutorial was easy, but the more difficult part is setting the flipped doodads right.

You are right, everything should be recflected, not only parts. But depending on the angle, the far more distant objects will become smaller till only sky is reflected. To be honest I tried to reflect more of the background, but the flipped-light-from-above doodad looks really crappy (even after tinting it down).

I´m working on a new version right now.

Looks very nice but i dont like those Lights near those trees (Cinematic light from above) and maybe put som criters in it but besides that i really like it

THere's kind of an end of the world feeling on the left side of the terrain. Also as already mentioned, the reflection could be done a bit better. Except from that, great terrain work. And take some plus rep!

EDIT: and yeah, replace the rays with the standard sun or moon rays please! Looks much more realisitc!

 

[Dr. House]

hmm im thinking what if you make a moon reflection in the water? Just an idea afcourse

 

[Solaris]

Thanks a lot for your comments, I really
appreciate your help.
Updated picture will follow in a few days,
currently I´m occupied with another project.

Ha thats it, nice idea. I was really dissatisfied with those Light from above.
Btw you are all encouraging me, thanks for that too!

Liking this a lot

Really does feel mystical, with the blue crystals, clear water and fountain placed in the perfect place.

Just behind, and to the right, of the fountain is a reflection that seems to be reflecting the base of a tree that we cannot see the base of in the forest. May just be me though.

Again though, I really like the feel of it

Et Voilà, here is the new version:
-fixed the edges
-added background
-used the region lightrays
-and reflections from the trees in the back
...puh...

Well wishers wishing well
Veil fishers fishing veil...

 

[Dr. House]

I love it although im not sure about the fog and where is the moon reflection？ｘＤ　ａｎｙｗａｙ　ｎｉｃｅ　ｊｏｂ

 

[Oziris]

Yeah, add a moon reflection and i think your missing the reflection of the tree in the right.

 

[YourNameHere]

The balance of farn in the left and right side is missing. Left side is full of them, whilst there is no farn in the right side.
Now add some fog (I'm talking about the WE fog) and it'll be really good.

^.^ the reflections make it look like you did this in Sc2, GJ.

 

[Celaquil]

The reflection techique came some time before Sc2 editor was released, so I'd say Sc2 terrains looks like cobra_b's reflection terrains! >.>

Anyways, I like it, there is still some small tweaks that can be done to it. Like adding another kind of fog, having a deeper background, have some better looking trees and all that. Still, its likable.

 

[Solaris]

It really honors me that you like it and you are
encouraging me to go on. I think I will now make
a final version with all finetuning advices you gave me.
Thx a lot!!!
