its nice but... you put TO MUTCH tree in your forest...

 

[Ziggen]

its nice but... you put TO MUTCH tree in your forest...

That was mainly what I was aiming for, dense forest.

 

[tt.xaz]

Trees in the water looks bad imo, but genneraly it's look nice.

 

[Gilles]

It's not that there are too many, it's that it looks like a tree farm. They are all in rows, and all look the same. Get different types of trees in there.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Looks pretty good but it need's alot work.

 

[Naze]

Oh, and the trees are all facing the same angle.

Also, the angle of the screenshot was very good.

 

[Ziggen]

Thx guys.
Updated it now, did what Gilles said, added more tree variation, at least tried

 

[CMarket]

Awesome terrain Ziggen. Can't wait to see your next picture.

 

[Naze]

Hmm, that's better.

 

[Gilles]

Bo-ya I'm right again! It's funny that I seem to be better at helping people than actually making terrain.

 

[Naze]

That's nice, as you are a moderator...

 

[Serbianbeast]

Very nice but imo: make trees near the water smaller, and make them get bigger as the distance from the water increases. Also make them scarce near water.

 

[Ziggen]

Thx everyone. I won't edit that one anymore now cause I put so much things in it so it's laggy as hell and I'm too lazy to edit it. But I will keep that in mind Serbianbeast, ty.

Now let's hope my next one will be nice

 

[Ziggen]

I've added a new one now, have a look at it! I don't think it is as nice as the other one but yeah... Give advice on what to improve and I'll try to edit it

EDIT: Added another one, wich I think is much better than the desert

 

[Gilles]

The forest one is nice, but I don't really like how overgrown it is. The desert one needs to be smoothed out a lot, especially by that hill. Also the grass you chose doesn't suit the terrain at all imo. Tinted brown would look better.

Ok, I've edited the desert now, have a look at it. I also have the original image there so you can see the difference

 

[Gilles]

Looks better, but that hill is still too sharp.

 

[Naze]

Hmm, now it looks cooler.

 

[AntoMarc]

Very nice terrain now the hill its better than pic2 I like that forest and the port amazing view keep terraining and + rep

 

[Mr.100]

The fourth and the third one look amazing.. Im gonna try making something like the third one on my RPG with 2 ancient protector Bosses

 

[Ziggen]

Cool. I'm glad I have inspired you

 

[Oziris]

Good terrain for a new member i hope u become like Madman or Void! ^^

 

[Ziggen]

Added a new pic, have a look at first post.

 

[Naze]

The terrain was made in a very interesting way, it looks really nice.

But some skins looks very bad because they're too close to the camera...

It isn't your fault, anyway.

 

[teh.fellow]

hehe i really like the hole and the landscape in the background
nice idea

 

[Ziggen]

Thank you guys. I'm working on an new terrain now and right now it looks awesome, I think it'll be great. But I'm in school atm so I will finísh it once I get home.

 

[raid1000]

the 3rd one is bitchy

 

[Ziggen]

Okay I've finished the new one now, take a look at first post Didn't turn out as awesome as I thought it would be but I'm still happy about it.

 

[Naze]

It is good, it is good. I liked the waterfall in the left and the way you worked with the fog.

Hmmm I think a hill or somthing at the background wouldn't hurt!

 

[Hawkwing]

Quite random variation and some of the doodads are way too repetitive.

Also, do not double-post.

 

[Ziggen]

Updated, pic of a night elf hideout.

 

[Naze]

Very nice.

I like the effect of light in the night sky you gave to the terrain.

 

[Oziris]

I like the waterfall at the last pic.

 

[Ziggen]

Thx guys.
Added a new pic, first outland terrain

comments plz

 

[raid1000]

the last one has some trees coming out of the rocks xD but looks good overall
+rep

 

[tunerband]

I like all of them, but the one I find most fantastic is the night elf hideout, its just stunning.

 

[Naze]

Not bad, not that good too.

The main problem is that there are trees coming from the rocks, as said above. And I liked what you did with the sky.

 

[Ziggen]

Thx for the comments.
Added a new now, it's actually a very simple work, just spammed night elf trees and added some other things and it somehow turned out pretty nice ;S. I'm pleased with the result anyway, what do you think?

 

[Naze]

I think you need leaves for those giant trees...

 

[frostwhisper]

Number 6, the elven hideout. That one caught my eye.
Make the fog a bit darker, add some stars and some glows on the buildings and I might consider proposing it at the Legendary terrains thread.

 

[Ziggen]

Omfg, legendary? :S

Ok then, I'll give it a shot ty

 

[~Void~]

For the 5th one, did you use my tutorial? :3

 

[frostwhisper]

Cough -.-

 

[Ziggen]

For the 5th one, did you use my tutorial? :3

Actually I did :3

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Your latest one looks nice, but the finer details aren't to good.

 

[Ziggen]

Added a new one. Wanted to try the "world-in-world"-effect
and underwater-effect at the same time.

 

[~Void~]

I like it all the way until I get to the bit behind the portal, which is empty, and the sides are empty too.

 

[Nudl9]

Im starting to suspect those terrains behind the gates are photoshopped in there. xD

 

[Ziggen]

Nothing is photoshopped.
