An American Highway

Comments/Suggestions? :3

 

[Maker]

The road looks a bit too bumpy to me. But then again what do I know of American highways.

@Maker: Well... I can fix it straight, just thought it would look unnatural But i guess they are straight ^^

@L2Love: Yeah, it's sunflares. Can remove them if it looks like another sun, but doesn't really look like that to me

the sun is to bright
the sky should be blue-er, right now it looks liek a storm is comming
the hills are too raised should be loverd and added yellowish tuffts (idk if you can find those in teh utm :/)
i doubt there would be light poles in teh middle of nowhere xD
also try giving it more depth

make it look like this

give the camera an z offset of 300 to give it more depth

I like the sky. Even if it does look like a storm! hey, that's a good thing in my option. The sky shouldn't be all nice and blue all the time

You know, I think it's perfect, but then that's just silly me...

I think it's absolutely charming. Everything is good. Maybe the textures don't match each other perfectly in terms of styles, and there are a couple other things, but it still looks perfect to me. Good job.
The hills are cool... so cartoony.

Perfect doesn't mean it couldn't be better; just means that I subjectively don't think it deserves too much criticism, because it's a simple, plain, good scene with a rare simple crazy style AKA perfect. I hope to see you moving in that direction; that'd be cool.

Update!
...But I really don't like how it turned out so far. Suggestions please?

 

[L2love]

Looks better i still say push it as back as u can so it looks vary long.

 

[Fingolfin]

I liked the first one better, perhaps the lightpoles were unrealistic, but they gave nice detail. And the new camera angle is so.. ugh.
The only thing that needs improving is the sun. The sun itself looks more a nuke, and those sun flares should be smaller and better aligned.

The shadows on the terrain don't go according to where the sun is. In the right you can see some hills that have shadows at the right side. That's impossible. The cactuses should be smaller, and some tile variation wouldn't hurt either. I can not see what tile you are using for sand, but there are a few sand tiles, which you can combine with some rough dirt. The bakcground on the left side and the end of the road needs some fading work (height). Also sun flares on a linse always go in a straight line, which means the first flare next to the sun should be a little higher.

I like the grass that is placed around the rocks, though I think there should be more rocks – and smaller. Make those in the distance smaller so it really looks like they are fading away.

I like the idea. I haven't seen any warcraft III screenshots like this, but it needs a lot of work.

 

[Nbah]

Dude, the cactus is the size of a skyscraper o........o

 

[De.Facto]

.. in that case it could look like a vast day for Mad Max.
Just turn your car into a black V8 interceptor. (;

 

[Revolve]

Update!
Guess you can see what I worked on (Basiclly your suggestions)

Thanks everyone for comments and suggestions! :3
Keep em comming!

[Off-Topic] Gief some comments and suggestions to my other active terrain thread, Castle by Midnight! :3

 

[johannesr]

Last one is best, it looks kinda empty tho, possibly some larger rock formations?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i suggest forgetting about that sunflare effect. Not that many can pull off gud sun/camera Flare effects. i suggest making it a regular sunset, with one straight out glow if u know what i mean... in other words if it were the real world,
take the picture without a camera ( and the cameras sun flare effect )

getting better though

 

[Revolve]

Update
Tell me what you think

 

[TheToastedChicken]

The last one was way better :/ Now it looks more like you're in Africa. Make the rocks smaller, change the trees to something more appropriate, add more grass (of all kinds) and a mountain in the far sight. And what is the sun doing in the middle of the road? :O

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Take me home! Country road! To the place, I belong!!!! WEST VIRGINIA!!, MOuntain in my mind!, Take me home....coutry road. = John Denver.

 

[Oziris]

Now it looks warcraft-ish. I like the first one. The others are meh.

 

[Megafyr]

Try to make the sun less oval.

 

[FamousPker49]

Okay no offense but I got a laugh just because it seems like the sun is a giant magnifying glass trying to burn that car. Because of the light behind it. Get rid of that. Start out with a more basic lighting if you cannot go advanced. Just make the sun a circle to start off with.

 

[Revolve]

Well thanks all for comments and critics. I seriously think this is horrible, by far the worst terrain i ever did, will see if I keep working on it or just screw it, since it seriously has gotten WORSE by every update.

 

[madcd]

i'm going to be brutaly honest and i think you should take a step back and remodel the terrain from the start and go much closer to that real image . . add a sense of scale, roads are always slightly curved around where the tyers go over but genraly flat width ways they also go over hills and bumps in the ground, make a much bigger version with actualy moutians and no tress horible out of scale and infact all doodas on a much better scale . . . this can be a really nice map . . .but the choice is up to you!!
