Palaza De Celor [WIP]

[Celaquil]

Alright, hey there.

I am working on this little project of mine, which essentially started with me having the idea of terraining a sertain location in a story I am writing to better be able to envision it and to describe it. As I continued I found out that I really enjoyed making it, so I wanted to finnish it up, and add loads of details to it. This is also why it is terrained in playable fashion, becuase in all honestly, it was meant to be "walkable" if you see my point. Now I am stuck with little inspiration and little ideas as to how I shall continue, and that is why I post this here; I seek advice and critique, to better make the map, and to get a better finnished product.

Hope you guys can come with valid points, and help me out on this one

OMG! I totally <3 that archway made out of rocks! This looks like it would be an excellent terrain for map. However, I think that the pillars need more variaty, they look too alike especially in picture 4 and 5. Maybe if you make some sort of connection between them it would look better. You could also place shadows under the trees. Anyway, this terrain really reminds me of the Prince of Persia, lol.

Looks really interesting! if your releasing this I'm playing it for sure. The first picture should use some boats. Boats that you can walk on. Would look really cool. What would be even cooler if you could enter the boat and the other structures +rep

Thanks, of course I am going to do something about those pillars, that was the essential idea, they were simply placeholders, but I seem to have forgotten it, so thanks for re-reminding me

Also, when giving advice, please do not think about the playability part of it, I can as soon as now say that it will not be released as a playable map. And thats about that. thanks for the advices though, I hope on getting more

Those shots of the garden are pretty inspiring. An Orchard done in that fashion would look pretty sweet if you need somewhere to go with it - It also brings to mind the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (wait, was it Babylon?) if you want to take that approach in doing more terraining.

The only thing I can say is that where the grass meets the tile in Picture 5 is a bit...less smooth then your standards. The tile meeting just contrasts all that great work you put into the doodads.

That's one of the best terrains, I've ever seen.
And when it will be playable - oOOOO
Nice man!! +rep

 

[Piwlady]

Really good. +rep

Using of naboo doodads is good there, I think I couldn't use them anywhere by myself

 

[grato]

I jizzed in my pants! It's so great

 

[elredir]

jawdropping... but the moria pillars in the 5'th and 6'th screens look kinda weird

 

[Celaquil]

Their supposed to look wierd

Thanks for the comments guys, a little more critique would be welcome, but still, thanks so much.

umm critque...hmmm

man i cant really see anything wrong with it. in fact it looks quiete perfect. only issue would be a camera issue, but thats not terrain critque

Hello i'd love to see more complex playable terrain nice

Now I am stuck with little inspiration and little ideas as to how I shall continue, and that is why I post this here; I seek advice and critique, to better make the map, and to get a better finnished product.

I like your work until now if it's playabel.
I see you try to seek after perfectism, i see some little flaws which i could tell you directly.
But if you are willing to make the map really better i guess you should accept to work on some models and textures also.

Sometimes you are getting with your terrain at a point where you can upgrade your terrain (well also with minor changes) more with changing models (using othere models) or creating them self also textures help sometimes.

If you want we could talk in detail about it in the chat if you like.

The terraining is really good, but that fuzzy teal texture is distracting, it just looks a lot more blurry than all the other textures

 

[Celaquil]

Now seriously folks. I dont know shit about texturing and modeling, even though it is kind to suggest it, it simply wont happen that I try editing these models to make my terrain look better. I would most likely fail at doing so anyways <.<

Thanks for the comments and critique, but I would want to make one statement clear: I said it was made in a "playable fashion" as in made as IF it would be playable. I've never said it IS playable, though it would be with some minor tweaks, but it is not planned out to be a playable map.

At the first screen is that a dark player circle i see or? Anyway evrything else looks nice

 

[Oziris]

I hate reading the above comments so i don't know if some said this already but in the first picture the fern is too green IMO.

 

[Insincerity]

Streeeeeetched textures, and meh, but the rock usage is great.
