Beginner's Terrain :)

[Landy]

Hello.
Well, this is my first terrain project. Little town near lake surrounded by forest.
I know, its horrible, so i need your advice how to improve it. Maybe i should use custom models?... But i never seen custom autumn tree models..

P.S. Dont look at units, they will be added little later When i finish with this damn terrain..

Hey that's not horrible, don't tell yourself that. It's awsome for a beginner. The only think I would suggest you improve on is the actually terrain itself. You have really big bland patches of dirt. Mix those with rough dirt to make it look better. My only other complaint would be the sea, it's kind of basic. Maybe add some shallow parts, or other doodads in it, Seaweed etc.

PROAGE!!! is this map meant to be playable? and in the fourth pic the dock looks kinda wierd.

if it isnt meant to be playable increase the size of the trees to make the scale more realistic.

Well i know, dock is horrible. But i really got no idea how to represent docks with warcraft3 standart doodads..

Thanks anyways.

The first one and last 3 screenies are awesome, the middle 2- not so much. I think you did a really good job, and i love the path in the last one out to the house on the little island, it's awesome. I also think that this is definitely not your first terrain, for your experience shows through .

The scale of trees need to be improved. The village is all flat, but the post lanterns are well placed.
Good work with the doodads though.

Well, i tried to remake *inner* town with custom trees and plants. Here is the result:

P.S. Dont look at backgroundz' standart trees
P.P.S. I think its good idea to recolour some plants into autumn colors..
P.P.P.S I also think i got idea how to make a *good-looking* dock

They're looking better. Keep up the good work.
1)ark_NiTe, maybe it's just the first terrain he's decided to submit.

 

[Rui]

That's just beautiful!
It reminds of Tomb Raider... don't ask me why... '

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Looks good, though you use the flower doodads a bit too much. Keep up the good work, your tile variation is nice.

Well thanks. But i think these trees are too bright... hell, my brains are goin to burn *gone to look for more tree models*
Well, in fact, this is my first terrain. I didnt really like to make terrains, i was *spell-idea-scripting* specializied. Just read some terrain guides before makin that.

Tomb Raider? lol.

Well there are so many flowers because of map' theme Flowerland xD

P.S. Sry for grammatic mistakes, got problems with english <('.'<) <( '.' )> (>'.')>
P.P.S Now i know - makin terrain is %$#%*!! much harder than spells lol >.<
P.P.P.S. Maybe i should remove old screens to dont eat your traffic?

Well here is final version:

Thanks everyone for advices ^.^

Dude, that's awsome...Just a few things to comment:
1. That tree only used once in the first one...remove it. Very out of place
2. Second pic looks very messy with all of those fences
3. Perhaps you should remove the swamp trees in the third....

1) Ye, i know, but i like it xD
2) Well it looks nice in game
3) In fact, this is not spamp trees Willows lol >.<

I agree with Operator, but I know from seeing the other screenies that the fences look fine. That tree is completely out of place though, even if it does look cool. My fav is the last one.

 

[Rui]

I like these new ones =)

 

[Landy]

well i removed this *out-of-place* tree
Hm..
I think to fill my map with animated grass models...but i think it will cause some lags My comp begins to lag where there are 2000+ these grass models on screen... but fields made with this grass are so hot i like it hell >.<

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I dont say u have to change the things i say but u still use to much flowers and some variation in hight is a bit strange,but further this looks veeeery good for BEGINNERS terrain

Anyways everybody has another STYLE of terraining

Go to the ocean. Nothing special about it but every hundred miles a strand of floating seaweed. Besides that it is just water.
