Hmm not many desert terrains out there...
Someone recently told me my clouds lacked depth. I hope these are a little better! :]

This is based on the Halo 3 mission "The Ark" for those who didn't notice.

 

[GhostG45]

I like it... Except I really don't see the relationship to "the Ark," except for maybe at the very beginning of the level where you see a few small grey trees (more like scrubs) in some rocks.

It's pretty good. I like the angle of how I'm looking down a hill onto a large plain.

 

[~Void~]

Well the idea came from the Ark. I wasn't actually "recreating" it, just that's where I got some inspiration.

 

[GhostG45]

In that case: Nice job

 

[thegreatsmite]

i still don't like the clumpiness of the doodads, makes them stand out too much unnaturaly placed. imo

 

[~Void~]

Ah but that is rather natural, actually

Just ignore the big rock formation for a moment...

And see those clouds? THOSE ARE LIKE MY CLOUDS!! DDD

Zomg, who made that terrain?! That's gotz to be da mostz epicz terrainz I eva did saw on Wc3 Editorz!!!!!!! Better tan u'z Void! It lookz so realz I culd touchz it!

And also, I do think the clouds were quite a nice effect (in your picture).

What's with the crystals? Are they in the ark level?

 

[raid1000]

i dont think blue fog goes well with desert terrain...

They're an easter egg in his terrain. Lol. ;P

Either way, it does seem weird to have a blue sky.

And did something stir your mind, as to bring up Halo? Possibly?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Looks plain... Looks boring... Nothing special.

Hard for me to judge because I have never seen this "Halo 3:The Ark" place(or whatever). However, I think this one doesn't deserve a rep point. Good luck, however, in future terrains!

 

[Sabertooth]

I agree, the blue sky looks weird with this.

What do you suggest? I have my reasons for making the blue sky, but I want to hear yours first.

 

[Gilles]

I like the sky.

 

[Celaquil]

I LOVE the sky <.< Also, all of you that dont like it, tell me of a place in this world, where theres NOT blue sky?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Putting a nice sky to terrain doesn't actually need a lot of skills... Especially if the terrainer have not done it by himself. Bah, now I feel like I'm a negative guy..

 

[~Void~]

Ah, but I did make it. The sky is comprised of ~30 doodads. No "sky models" at all, just clouds.

Anyhoo, here is why the sky is blue.

Blue Sky

There's even blue fog too!

Also, even if it wasn't realistic, I do think that blue goes quite well with desert, if you want to make it a peaceful desert and not some scorching deathpit, which is kinda what I was going for here.

 

[FamousPker49]

You should make a better sky. More white. Fade from white, near the desert floor, into the blue sky.

 

[~Void~]

I could do that, but that would involve opening up this terrain and fixing it which I really don't care enough to do. This wasn't supposed to be that great, just a practice for the sky :3

 

[Sabertooth]

It's not that it's blue, to be honest (although the WE Light-blue fog is kinda purplish but it looks fine so it's besides the point). It's that the fog starts waaaay too early. There wouldn't be the moisture necessary for fog like that.

 

[~Void~]

Hmm... perhaps... well in the morning you get more fog than at noon... maybe this is morning? haha.

 

[Naze]

Yes, the midground/background fade away very quickly.

I also don't like how the trees are clumped, and I don't really have a suggestion

About the sky, I think that it is ok, but the blue should be more vivd to be a "desert-ish" sky.

But what are those blue things at the foreground?!? o.0

 

[~Void~]

Blue things? You mean the white crystals? Play the halo mission "The Ark". At the beginning of the mission they are all over the place.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol

i like the way the mountains look in the background...

seems very far away. but it seems you did use the UBer cloud :/

and its not a custom sky right. im just confused about the sky buisness.

+rep btw
