Ardnived's Terrain

[Ardnived]

I prefer to make maps, but I like to incorporate as good looking terrain as practically possible in my maps. But I decided to make some terrains just for the fun of it... these arent in maps or anything as you may have had that impression.

So anyways here are some terrains that I did... In order of creation...

There's one more but I cant attach it becase I attached it to the Inspiration Thread.

keep in mind these were all made before I discovered the ultimate terraining map... ill making something with that eventually.

Their not to bad.

1. Shrubs to big and overbearing.
2. Decent cave, but the open back part dosen't appeal to me.
3. Looks a little bland.
4. Looks a bit like a remake, but the arches look a little strange in the back.

 

[Ardnived]

yes 3 and 4 are two versions of the same thing.

once I had done the third one I knew this looks really bad... but I couldnt for the life of me think of what else to add... in a sort of heavenly realm

so I tried expanding the building which I wasnt too happy with so I just put the both up, see if anyone had some ideas of what might go in there

The first and second are very nice, but they need some lighting/atmosphere. Fog, especially (fog doodads I mean).

 

[Ardnived]

fog doodads?

 

[Just_Spectating]

like wind.

 

[Ardnived]

you mean weather effects that affect fog?

 

[Dakho]

The second is an example of the rare occasion in which blizzard cliffs are fine.

That cave is my favorite, it's got nice atmosphere imo.

No he means Fog doodad, which you find in UTM under Cinamatics, if you dont know what UTM is, then go to the stickys and look for it.

 

[Ardnived]

Hmm... odd that I didnt notice it when I went through allt he UTM doodads, anyways ill take a look

 

[Celaquil]

You'll find it under Cinamatic, and be sure that you got the v3 of UTM and not 4x or wtf its called

The fog might fix it, but I find the cave to blurry, some more props on the top of the cave would be nice, try lifting some stones or similar up...

ctrl + page up

 

[Ardnived]

Ah yes I wanted to put some stalagite but I still dont quite understand how to turn doodads upside-down

 

[~Void~]

No, I mean fog doodads. From the UTM.

Easy way: Go to a model editor and rotate it there

 

[Ardnived]

you mean the roll pitch, oh yes now I remember why I wasnt holding down the shift button when i was trying to put in negative values... which you have to do for some reason

Inded and if that doesnt work you can always do it in a modelprograming program.

 

[Ardnived]

I added another one, unlike the others though this is a screenshot from an upcoming map I'm working on

Joint commentary on all pics: HIGHT DIFFERENCE!
Seriously... you havnt even TOUCHED the hight tool on any of the given terrains <.<
You have to do something about it

 

[Ardnived]

hmm, yes another person mentioned that (not here)... I probably should
