Need an opinion!!

[noob134]

ok this is my first real terrian that i starting making for my RPG map and i need an opinion and maybe how to improve it and still make it playable.
EDIT: please do not look at this one but the most current one i have posted on this thread.

It looks very boring and empty now. Try adding more doodads, be creative.

maybe put some rocks? and some trees in the background and um GRASS? maybe a pile of wood or barrels, some torches.

You got a good start here. Try making some variation on the ground and then place some rocks, trees and other stuff like grass and flowers.. Remember also to lower the rocks into the ground a little (ctrl + Page down) so that you don't see the 2d rocks!

ok new screenshot i still think it needs improvement please give HELPFUL advice.

The foreground is really, really empty. There's like 4 flowers, 2 rocks and a couple of shrubs. Not to mention the house looks really bad, the models you used for structure are just bad. I would suggest finding more suitable models to make the house from. Sky doesn't look good.

 

[noob134]

could you please give some links to some good models.. i am currently using ones from the Ultimate Terraining Map 2 from the Maps Section, i found some good housing models but they were .rar files and i dont have WinRAR. thanks for advice
EDIT: please make note that this is supposed to be playable and there is a doodad limit so i cannot simply overflow the map with doodads like in some terrains just for show.
i know it still looks bad.. lol

Ahem, UTM version 3.0 is stickied in the terrain board, I'm positive it will have all the models you need:

More tile variation on the ground and even more doodads!

 

[ArcticInferno]

Nbah if used the terraining map it wouldnt be playable now would it?

Add a few more doodads in the front. Otherwise 9/10

ps. For .rar, .zip, .7z, .cab, .tar.gz (and almost every other archive) use 7-zip.
