Don't like how the light goes over the trees like that.

Revan, the way how one side of the sky is MEGAEXPLODELIGHTWTF and the other is just calm sky is a bit strange, otherwise nice, the grass looks a bit strange though (bad grass model).

Revan's sky is nearly perfectly realistic, actually. It's quite nice. It's just not really epic. And Jack, your camera flare doesn't look like a camera flare. More like a line of really bright fog on the path.

Wolle:
Your first terrain was quite nice and I liked the environment a lot (7.5/10)
Your second terrain wasn't so great to be honest, the white fog was crap and sun flares are really overrated (6/10)

raid100:
Very nice. The sun's a little off center but oh well, it's not like it has to be there, I just like it better that way :p
I love your environment but the choice of trees could've been better, or you could've at least tinted them to match the rest. (7.5/10)

Revan(rom):
I like your sun flare. The sky, however, doesn't really look too great. You need to work on skies, my friend, because there is certainly more to it than putting down a single doodad! ;) (7/10)

SimonKurciski:
Hmm... lots of random bits sticking out of eachother and doodads that don't really go to well together. You need to work on choosing the right doodads and then placing them well. (5.5/10)

Belgarath:
Not one of your best... there are so many random plants that don't fit in at all, there are huge ugly yellow grasses that don't fit in either. Also, there is no real background and if you can see the horizon line through the fog, that's bad. Also, that sun flare totally ruins it. SUN FLARES ARE NOT ALWAYS GOOD. (7/10)

bananaHUNT:
Pretty good I guess... but it doesn't really look underwater (which is what you were going for...?). It could use a more blue fog, more subtle light from above thingies (tint them like 10/10/25), and why can we see the sky underwater...? (6/10)

Nudl9:
(-1/10)

Ribenamania:
Some of your tree choices are ugly/don't go together. The environment is kinda bare, too. And I'm really starting to hate these sun flares... (6.5/10)

XereX:
Could use some distance fog, just to put things into perspective. You might want to cut down on the arches a bit, too (7/10)

3hg45435845g (or whatever your name is):
Cropping out the WE is a good idea. Otherwise... well... it's ok, but you have a long way to go. Just keep practicing. (5/10)

Ziggen:
Totally looks like something I would've made about a month ago :p
I love the sun and the huge tree in the background, and the ground clutter is quite nice too. The only thing I would say is to tint those bright green trees darker so they blend better with the pines. (8.5/10)

Keiji:
Hmm... I really like this, it has so much potential, but there are A LOT of minor flaws that really do add up. First of all, the fires on those torches are messed up (could put a fire doodad there). Secondly, the sky is kinda ugly. I think you need a stormsphere behind that, and some mountains in the WAY back that fill in that empty space. The ferns could be darker. Tile variation could use a bit of work (just because the tiles don't really blend naturally). Try to avoid really bright bits of fog, atmosphere should be a combination of very subtle things that add up to a masterpiece, not just a few things that stand out. (8/10)

Winner = Ziggen
2nd place = Keiji
3rd place = Wolle's 1st terrain + raid100


New theme coming soon.

I made one, but it was crap compared to others, so I didn't uploaded it, and was lazy to make a new one. Anyway, Ill probably join the next one. Hope this thread lasts longer than Keiji's. And some rep for ~Void~, because he continued "tradition".

NEW MAP HERE:

This one is just height and tiles, I decided not to place any doodads.

This is one of my best landscapes, btw ;)

OMG LIEK FORGOT TO ADD A PICTURE U NUB!

And to defend myself about the "lasting longer" firstly, the picture one, is the (not stickyed) thread with largest post count... <.< And secondly, people WANTED it to die out... therefor it did <.<

And for the second place, I can live with that :p I didnt actually use allot of time on it, hell I think I used more time THINKING about what I were to make than the actual terrain. :p

o.k here's my entry for this one. An early morning image of crossroads in a valley type area. p.s very nice terrain this time Void.

And void, you may want to get another judge incase your entry ends up being better than ours and you don't want to give yourself the win, and so that the other can see entries that you may miss =D

You did the river very well (might be copying the idea over on my terrain.) But the choise of tree, I dont like, but that might just be personal, even though they dont fit, since the overall terrain is dirty and orange, and then there pops up green trees here and there, not good :p

Also, Its a bit TOO bare. But please man, dont EXPECT people to review your terrain, thats really Void's job and he will do it at the end of the week.

FUCK man! Your stealing my idea! (well, your really not since I havnt posted mine yet) But it looks ALLOT like yours, still, I wont add those.. ehm.. "beutifull" sunflares or wtf their called :p

And now I have to rethink a new idea since... I cant come here with something that looks close to someone elses :(

Thinking... Found an idea! :p

And XereX, may I hint to you that your terrain looks awfully repetive, (and I dont like your choise of trees :p)
But you should add some sort of focus point, or more variety in the nature :p
