Dawn over Dalaran

~Void~ · Jan 17, 2009

The sun shines down on the glorious City of Dalaran. The dusty air of the Arathor Mountains seems to glow with the mid-morning sunlight as you approach the city of magicians.

bounty hunter2 · Jan 17, 2009

Looks very nice although some of the mountains look to sharp. The edges are sharp I mean.

thegreatsmite · Jan 17, 2009

i think the rock cliffs loog incredable! but there it loks like there is a flat abyss behind dalarn...

~Void~ · Jan 17, 2009

Actually, there's a lake

That's how it is in WC3 at least.

Restor · Jan 17, 2009

it is like Imperial City in Oblivion...

raid1000 · Jan 17, 2009

i need the rocks asap!

~Void~ · Jan 17, 2009

Except much bigger and with no walls or lake around it

But there is a lake behind it...

raid1000 · Jan 17, 2009

ok i found the rocks
some suggestions if i may:
do something with the edge of that sun ray
maybe some moar trees on the right on that cliff in the back of the existing ones

Always check if the clouds are behind everything else. Fail right there Void. =/

The mountain range looks great. But those rocks look only good as long as you place them far away from the camera, close up you can see the horribly stretched texture.

Pink fog is always cool.

Belgarath · Jan 17, 2009

Pff. Dalaran is in a desert in my book. How else could Archimonde get an anger fit and destroy his sand castle?

IMO the foreground is kinda dull, but still cool, because of how you used the rocks (yay, I'm free.) background is city mash, always nice and there's only one violet citadel thingy?

Pink fog is manly.

lol at this.

@topic

Maybe add a flock of birds?

Belgarath · Jan 17, 2009

A flock of bird would add some liveliness to it, good idea :O

and whats behind the lake?
MOUNTIANS!!! so unless the lake is a bagillion feet wide, i thnk there will be peaks present...
unless im wong and there really isnt mountians...

~Void~ · Jan 17, 2009

Actually, behind the lake is some flat forest and then the ocean... :/

Celaquil · Jan 18, 2009

Looks good. And I see what you needed the rocks (AGAIN) for now.
But there is two things bugging me,
1. Its really too.. ehm, generic, its some hills, trees, and some Dalaranish city in the background.
2. The same type of trees go again and again, I thought you of all should know that you should at least use two different types of trees

Else than that its a good terrain.

FamousPker49 · Jan 18, 2009

It looks repetitive with only one choice of tree, and the tree to the right is growing straight out of a rock. :/

Mor)L(unE · Jan 18, 2009

How did you made those cliffs? becsause they look awsome.

Mael · Jan 18, 2009

Well, i have to mention, that now, according to WC lore, Dalaran is situated in Northrend, Crystalsong Forest, floating in the sky. :hohum:

Viikuna · Jan 18, 2009

WC lore got ruined a long time ago. First they give us good orcs and then they give us WoW which fucks up rest of it.

Anyways, its a great terrain. That rock model might just need a better texture. Its really low res now.

Uhh...... nono, that's WoW lore, not WC lore. Big difference. Because in WoW lore, draenei are magic space goats on crystal meth and in WoW lore Northrend has a jungle. That should say enough

Megafyr · Jan 18, 2009

The sky is awesome! And I like the rocks. It's just.. I think the one shrub placed in the middle on the rocks is ugly. xD But still an amazing screenshot, you're the best! :]

Oh and btw, yesterday I got a smily on MSN that looks excactly like your avatar, lol!

Naze · Jan 19, 2009

Yeah, another Void like shot. Average terrained (as not usual! D

, you should have added more life, shrubs, rocks, and other random stuff that pops up on nature.

Also,

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH.

Matt1965 · Jan 19, 2009

its decent, nothing to amazing :/
im not big on fancy camera work and it prolly doesnt look like much from any other angle.

Belgarath · Jan 19, 2009

YTMND - WoW - Lore, lol 'nuff said about lore.
And why the fuck is Dalaran in Northrend in WoW O_O.
And naze, I agree.

The cloud thing is barely noticeable. Or I'm now a complete noob. Either or.

I agree abut the rocks though. They look fantastic at a distance, and you used them well, but they're far too stretched in the foreground.

Oh, I guess that was intentional. He always do that, and somethimes it looks really cool.

~Void~ · Jan 20, 2009

It was intentional. I wanted to have the effect of a cloud rolling in front of the big tower. I think it looks rather nice, really.

Eleandor · Jan 22, 2009

Everybody seems to be using that new rock model lately... And it's probably been asked a ton of times, but where can you download it?

(Oh and the terrain rocks, but yeah, we don't expect any less from you, do we...)

BearMan · Jan 22, 2009

The cliff on the right side is awesome!

You get it from the Ultimate Terraining Map.

And also, we expect more from Void! D:

~Void~ · Jan 22, 2009

No you don't. It's not in the UTM.

Naze · Jan 22, 2009

No?

So I must be confused... Maybe they are at the UTM 2.

~Void~ · Jan 22, 2009

Nope. Not in any UTM.

Naze · Jan 22, 2009

Hey!

I remember getting them from a map or something to a campaign in 2007! =/

Gilles · Jan 23, 2009

I think it's in some thread somewhere.

~Void~ · Jan 23, 2009

W/e, I'll just upload it. Credit to whoever made the model, kthxbyee.

Gilles · Jan 23, 2009

Maybe SteinLord? Who's that?

thedeathunterxx · Jan 23, 2009

i like this screenie alot

the background rminds me of WOW.... since in WOW, there weren't really mountains near dalaran... just the valley that lead to it (which is in ur screenie)

the sky looks nice.

the foreground needs soe sort of fog perhaps.... maybe a yelloish pinkish fog...something that brings light...

Good job!! +REP

Stein = Stone in german
Lord probably for Lordaeron, the tileset this is intended for.

Belgarath · Jan 23, 2009

1. Dia3olus made them.
2. THERE IS NO CAKE.

Well.... screw you Mr.I'm-so-smart...

bounty hunter2 · Jan 30, 2009

Sorry for the Necro, dunno is one week that much, I found this picture of Dalaran, and I thought you need to darken yours a bit. dunno

thedeathunterxx · Jan 30, 2009

that picture is sweet.

i think its from the cinematic...

I now have the inspiration to make a dalaran terrain

~Void~ · Jan 30, 2009

Eh, artistic license.
