Tauren village

[Abdoma]

I decided to do a piece of terrain on my favourite race, the tauren!

Any constructive criticism would be appreciated (don't be too rough, 'tis my first terrain)

The last 3 pics are the most recent ones.

It looks empty and pretty boring , Where you got those cool tauren house models?

 

[bounty hunter2]

Well it is you first terrain, and generaly people shouldn't post their first stuff but you did, so here I am commenting:

It looks:

- Plain
- Boring
- Nothing much in this terrain, beside a couple of cool models

So, how to improve?

- Read a few terraining tutorials
- Enviromental dodoads - use them
- Tile variation - do it
- Fog - That is good too

Good Luck, bounty_hunter2

They're in the UTM.

Thanks for all the comments I've redone it bearing in mind what you just said. It looks much better now thanks.
I'd +rep you but I've already repped you >.<

They are not in UTM

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Very empty, very plain, and utterly boring.

And its WoW models, thus not in UTM which is on Hive, whom does not support WoW models.

 

[thegreatsmite]

it this one fo those empty world the trees float?

too empty, you have a floating tree, no tile (or grass) variation, no vegitation, no tauren

add some mroe tauren int he town too, unless they all died of some plauge, then ahve some bodies
npt bad, just keep working on it

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well I can only say that: "Nice models, bad terrain".

 

[Abdoma]

Well, thanks for all the comments.

tauren tent big - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

and in the UTM, Building: Tauren: Tent X but they don't work, you have to rename war3imported\taurentents.blp into Textures\taurentents.blp

Eurgh, How could I forget to put tauren in.

 

[Argus]

Is it possible you used these Taurenstuff?

 

[Abdoma]

Yeah, sort've. I used the models in that map which are also the same as the UTM.

I've also edited the original post with 3 new shots from different angles.

i mentioned this earlier, but you have floating objects or things that are sitting on top of the ground. some plants, like those ferns are floating. and some of your tents seem to be too . also you foreground is still too plain. add mountians from the distant suroundings, or a line a trees of various trypes. or trees on a mountian! and objects like those totems dont just sit on top of things. lower them into the ground so you can see the premade ulgy base there one and add some better looking rocks and vegitation to make it appear that the totme, or whatever structure has aged, and this isnt a newly made town. your improving good job!

- Read a few terraining tutorials

Where? xD

And just some advice, do not rely on tutorials. In fact, tutorials are quite restricting if you rely on them. I don't know how in fuck's name half the people here have gotten their strange obsession with tutorials, but I haven't used a single terrain tutorial and look where I am now. I'm sure many others here haven't either.

Just some interesting thoughts I've gathered from the tutorial that I wrote, however. After I wrote it, every forthcoming terrain from a newer terrainer used the exact same techniques given in my tutorial, and even the exact same doodads. I'd say the same for my first tutorial, except the influence of that one was more subtle, but I still see it now.

In my opinion, the best works of art take influence from nothing.

DiD I just watch World of Warcraft again!? haha!
It's great it looks so similar, I would say! More details!
grass and tiles!

 

[bounty hunter2]

Sorry for replying so late at the thread, but I was going through threads I replied and came to this:

Void, I don't like tutorials, I never used them with GUI, and I learnt everything by myself. I had a lot of time for it. But some people don't, begginers don't know where to start what to do, they think: "Wtf is this for?" and they quit soon. Tutorials come in handy then.

Anyway I don't like tutorials, but begginers should definetly look at some.

Nasrudin models, not WoW. The terrain isn't great - needs more tile variation and -emptiness.

 

[VeljkoM]

If you ask me the tileset is wrong in the first place.You should have used Barrens tileset not "village fall".
More decorations would be nice also.
