Frozen Tundra

~Void~ · Jan 20, 2008

An expedition into the wastelands of the far north. I may or may not make a cinematic out of this terrain :con:

Looks nice, good tile variation and theme.

People will say it looks a bit plain and needs more doodads but I think simplistic terrains are lacking these days.

Eleandor · Jan 20, 2008

It has a nice tundrafeeling, but make 1 or 2 trees twice as large as they are now, and see how it looks like...

Not bad i really like this one good job Void!

I like what you did with the background. Could you take another shot without the units?

Darth_Muppet · Jan 20, 2008

Wow... Nice job, I cant really see anything to improve.

Karzvitch · Jan 20, 2008

I think it needs some more snow spots and a bit less dirt :O But aside from that it looks great.

Custom doodads would help IMO

Er, there's a shit-load of custom doods in there.

Strong use of doodads, tile variation, and height variation! Although it's not amazing, it's good for what it is. Would fit well in a cinematic.

Here is the terrain without units and some bigger trees.

@Karzvitch, There is usually only snow in the mountains, and this is meant to be a kind of low-elevation, borderline between frozen and temperate place, like Alaska or something <_<

Gilles · Jan 20, 2008

Definitely looks like a frozen tundra. I really like the mountains in the back. Didn't notice them at first.

donut3.5 · Jan 20, 2008

Whoops, my bad, I was only looking at the rocks, footmen, and tent x.x

In winter it's covered in snow

As-is I think it needs more grass spots, but just short grass.

Yeah they're supposed to be subtle, I tried making them more prominent but it looked bad

It looks realistic with them subtle. It would look bad if they stood out.

the hills in the background look empty, even for a frozen wasteland you should probably throw a tree or two on each one, that should make it look a little better.

TheSandWraith · Jan 24, 2008

Looks amazing! I love how empty feeling they look, gives a good feeling to it, like the place just goes on forever. Also, I know I have seen those trees before. Are they the dead tree's on wc3c website?

I considered that, but you're supposed to focus on the foreground more than the background, and I think it gives a cool transition from tundra to uninhabitable, infertile barren of ice and snow. (me being eloquent)
And it would be really hard to get the scaling right and still have it look good. (me being lazy)

Gilles · Jan 24, 2008

I think trees would ruin the mountains. From that distance you wouldn't be able to see them.

TheSandWraith · Jan 26, 2008

Sorry to be pestering, but I'll ask again: Were did you get those trees? They look really good.

Gilles · Jan 26, 2008

UTM most likely. It's stickied. Does no one actually check them?

TheSandWraith · Jan 26, 2008

I have UTM, but rarely do I look at it. Most of the time when I'm looking for a model, it doesn't have it so thats why. But anyway, I'll check it, thanks Gilles.
