Any tutorials?

[Narrat0r]

I'd like to start a terraining carrier, and if I may ask, are there some "professional" tutorials for Ultimate Terraining Map or something like that? A reply would be appreciated.

There are many tutorials! Here's a list, enjoy:

That's about it, but reading tutorials doesn't make you create awesome/professional terrains right away, it only shows you HOW to make them. When you start making terrains and when you have experience in making terrain you will learn from your previous mistakes and try to avoid them and of course you will learn some of your own neat tricks in time. Feedback from the public is the most important thing for a terrainer, if he doesn't get them he will not improve much. That takes time, nothing can be done right away.

Well I attached links to few tut here on THW and to their Authors!
Some are easy some are for advanced users!

Some have little to do with terrain some much more!
Pls at least scroll down each one just to check pictures!

If you really want to learn how to terrain, check also other sites like
http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/
http://www.wc3c.net/
and others...

open maps, check terrain contest etc etc, check terrain board and people showcases, explore user albums, search Hive... You can always ask some user for help, join to Chat room sometimes (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/apps.php?p=gochat)

2 Much work to do right...

I'd say the best way to learn terraining is by observing others abilities to get some general idea of what a well executed terrain looks like.
