All quiet on the western front

[~Void~]

Just a quickie from me. I thought I captured the atmosphere pretty well. Comments?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

k dude.. epic as usuall, but you should take a look, cause at some place.. its not smooth at all but anyway you HAVE THE FORCE!! to change it

 

[~Void~]

What do you mean by not smooth? I don't understand.

Anyways, everything is intended.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well if it wass intended than its okay... and not smooth (i was talking to the top of each montains.. or cliff or what ever you call it.. instead of behing round and soft, they are sharpe)

anyway GOD JOB! (get it?)

 

[~Void~]

Oh yeah that's jagged cliffs because it was a warzone battered by artillery shells

 

[hawk_767]

looks really good like all your work. I personally love the atmosphere you implemented. the sky looks a bit clear though through the fog which makes it look kind of weird to me, especially with the thicker cloud in the upper right.

 

[Gilles]

I think it's a bit too jagged.

 

[SILLYbear]

Atmosphere is nice but the topography looks a bit too...

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\___/\/\/\ like that

 

[Megafyr]

They terrain height variation or whatever I should call it looks awesome! You really make it look like rocks. I like that. But this picture lacks your awesome lightning effects! xD

 

[Oziris]

I dont like the spikes in the terrain looks weird? the rest looks great.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Who's the guy in the middle, giving me the thumps up?

 

[FrIkY]

lol, true! xD Who's that, or what's that?
Great work, anyway! +cookie

 

[~Void~]

Dudes... It's rocky and got hit by bombs it's gonna be jagged. Shit isn't smooth anyways even without bomb craters.

 

[Eleandor]

What they're saying is that you can see the polygons too much. The lines are "too" straight. It's true that you don't have to have curves everywhere, but there where you try making a curve, it doesn't look smooth enough...

as u said "It may happen in real life but it doesnt necesary mean it looks good" or something liek that

 

[Celaquil]

I like it, simple as that. Though some tweaks here and there would maybe make it even better, but it looks nice ^^

 

[Wolf.]

ooh.. how did you get it to be all black like that?

 

[hellblazer-14]

It's called terrain fog lol, and you used it really well Void, it gives it such a realistic atomsphere. I agree with most of the other posters that the hills are too jagged, because it can't be an area bombarded by artillery - there are still trees there.

If you watched a movie like All Quiet on the western front, you'll see that there aren't any trees on the battefields
They've either been levelled, chopped down for wood to be used for Bunkers and Trenches, or have been well... disintigrated by numerous artillery blasts.

Other than that, I like it quite a lot ^^
Plus rep.

 

[~Void~]

You're right, there aren't any trees. But I figured that a few beaten up trees couldn't hurt.

Also, it's not terrain fog, it's an empty light model. The brown is terrain fog.

Who's the guy in the middle, giving me the thumps up?

Haha, no lol, that's his gun

 

[hellblazer-14]

nice work all in all though, I still love it ^^

 

[bounty hunter2]

A castle in the foreground would fit in nicely.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Nice use of fog and all, but something doesn't really give me the "holy shit, this is awesome" feeling :/

+ The clouds just look like they would have been splatted to the image AKA they don't look realistic.

 

[~Void~]

I don't think it's very realistic anyways, to have pitch black everything except for a light brown fog

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Enormous cliff behind him that blocks the sun ftw

 

[~Void~]

Still wouldn't be pitch black, unless there was a solar eclipse at the same time and the stars all got eclipsed as well. And that still doesn't explain the brown fog, it actually rules it out, because it would be black too. So it's a paradox.

I love how I'm arguing how my terrain isn't realistic

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Possibilities, my friend, possibilities..

Edit: "I love how I'm arguing how my terrain isn't realistic " oh no you don't! D:

 

[Naze]

Is the SetDayNightModels thing on?

I think so, because I see two sources of fog in that screen... Anyway, very nice idea.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

I thought it would be the old american western front at first. But it looks like the mountains were edited with slight transparency, or the fog effects are to epic for my eyes

btw nice sky.

 

[~Void~]

The fog effects are too epic for your eyes.

Anyhoo, it's actually a custom model in my WC3 directory.

 

[Belgarath]

Only deserves anything if you don't get shot in the face while drawing a fucking bird... goddamn shit ends.
Good, yaya. Although all the trees got blasted to shit.

 

[ike_ike]

'twas epic until I realised there was a rifleman there. Jeebus, were there no other models available?

 

[Grave_Digger_]

Who's the guy in the middle, giving me the thumps up?

I think that thumbs up is his gun =)

 

[BearMan]

YES! YES! Finally a very good 2nd world war terrain that is pure awesomeness, this terrain shows us how sad and tragic war can be.

 

[~Void~]

'twas epic until I realised there was a rifleman there. Jeebus, were there no other models available?

Well it looked better than a marine.

 

[raid1000]

if those are craters why not make some fallen trees?

 

[Celaquil]

Well it looked better than a marine.

I totally stand by your side Void! Riflemen were MADE for usage in terrains! lol xD

 

[Belgarath]

Use a villager imo...

 

[~Void~]

No, villagers don't have goddamn guns.

 

[Belgarath]

So? The guy who got shot in the face while drawing a bird didn't have a gun in his hands. PLUS HE DIDN'T HAVE A BEARD.

 

[~Void~]

Well this guy's supposed to be a soldier.

 

[Belgarath]

Well they're both soldiers, but ehh.. Maybe cavman's soldier.
