you can use the UTM instead.
It has loads of models and shitz and glow doodads!

 

[UnholyDobry]

nah faster this way and i think it looks better...
edit:btw do u think its any good?

 

[raid1000]

well the first thing i notice is that is kinda empty...
and teh background looks liek bloobs wich is not nice and needs more tile variation

maybe this will inspire you

 

[UnholyDobry]

thx... oh well i might try to make something tomorow.

Personally I think that using the glow doodads from the UTM would be faster, but that's up to you.
The background looks a little weird and it's just way too empty.
Looking at other pictures (raid's for example) is a nice way to find inspiration and learn a few tricks to make your terrain look more realistic.

 

[UnholyDobry]

well idea was to be not realistic picture is called frozen abyss...

 

[wolfybecker]

true but even unrealistic stuff has to have some realism or else its just like "oh well it looks ok its not bad but its not good" either way good ideas for inspiration are probly raid1000 Madsen ~void~ and a few others i 4get their names atm either way more tile variation would help as well as more doodads also UTM is faster and has better results imo

bump i aded new pic is it any better?

 

[leet.firefox]

Don't say bump so soon. Second one lacks any tile variation whatsoever. And it looks very unnatural. I like the rock inside the crystal =D

Dude the photoshop-ed lightning(was it meant to be?) sucks.

For a landscape-focused terrain, you should try getting some sort of wider angle. It just lacks depth.

A lot of stuff looks out of place, like the statues and such, like 'what's the function of it' kind of thing 'did it land from space?'.

 

[UnholyDobry]

yea i added statues to get unrealistic shape of terrain like random stuff from space and time... removed photoshop pic.

 

[ArcticInferno]

A hell lot better but I see the end of the world!

 

[Super-Sheep]

Photoshopping or editin terrains with any other programs is cheating lol.

 

[UnholyDobry]

ok i tryed to fix the end of the world problem but thats max hight level so i changed angle a bit but i might try to make another map but i will watch out for hight lvl that time for now its only thing i can do.
