Minas Tirith - The White City

[Belgarath]

Yeah I know the actual city sucks shit. If anyone wants to try their hand at making a better city, but not environment, you can tell me and I'd consider giving you the map. I think my environment is all good.

Either the grass is incredible big or the city is incredible small

the city looks like a balrog of mordor squashed it 1337 times
the lights from above look bad and those rocks are oh well
what i like about this terrain is the ground and the fog xD
you used high rezz tile?

 

[Revolve]

Well the concept is nice, but excecution is lacking.
The ground level, hills and such, looks very very well. So doesthe fog, excellent.
Tho the grass you've putten there needs some work. Instead of putting it completely random, try putting some bunches of grass here adn there. Also, make a smaller version of the same grass, and put it around the current grass, to 'hide' the 2D shapes you see.
And the mountains in the back could use some work, well first of all, mountains usually doesn't consist of round stones (Maybe they do in LotR? cant remember heh), but also you have to make heights here and there, mountains ain't a straight line.

Ohh and the Light from Above, try making them twice as big, but reducing the colors, making it fade more. ^^

I won't comment the city, since you self said it isn't great, Though I do think it's kind of nice, except for the gate and the main castle

Heh, sorry if I were hard, but just trying to help you out

Grass is just like that, randomly placed in spots near Minas Tirith. It's the kinda tufts you get in rural areas of New Zealand :/ Using small versions of the same grass looks like ass, I'd know. I've tried using that before. The mountains, yeah... I can't be fucked raising all those damn stones, I might just ditch the whole doodads and use the good old raise tool. I thought it might be a nice change. I just used massive fat ones. The lights are actually as low in colour as you pretty much can get, without having an entire lack of colour, making them bigger always makes them seem so... fat.

No high res tiles here FYI. Just grasses.

I don't like the grass. Whether or not it's accurate doesn't matter, it doesn't look good. Also, I'd raise the camera angle slightly, the ground textures are ugly that close.

Work on the city, raise the camera, and make the grass much smaller.

Terrain Contest Small World is over , but nice terrain

The scaling of the grass goes wrong in long distance. What maybe would look good is tinted shrub var 1 or the Bush 4 from UTM sunken into the ground around the grasses to create a better transaction between grass and no grass.

 

[leet.firefox]

Yeah, you need to scale down the grass as it gets closer to the city. That one closest looks to be half the size of the wall.
Those little narrow lights don't look to great either.
The mountains are meh.
The city is alright.

Overall a nice concept, just need some touch-ups.

 

[~Void~]

Flat. I kinda like the grass though, it looks swampy. Try adding some rocks and dead logs, maybe even a bit of water here and there.

 

[Deathcom3s]

I'm Pretty sure Minas Tirith isn't situated in a swamp Void, lol.

It should be. The movies did it wrong.

 

[Celaquil]

This is a Begarath terrain alright

And right now I'm too lazy to say anything more; listen to the other guys.

 

[Dr. House]

i siriously dont like it. to be honest i dont get the feeling its Lotr terrain after all. The mountains behind the city dont look good. just a bunch of huge rocks. the city itself looks ok but i still think it could be inproved. but after all im not a good terrainer myself so this is just my oppinion.
