Good tile variation. Not too bad for a waterfall. You need to work on the environment now. Plants, better trees, and rocks.

It's pretty good, but really waterfalls don't usually tumble down over dirt or whatever, you should put some rocks in and around the waterfall to make it look more realistic. Also add some forest life (flowers, shrubs etc.) and maybe some river rushes.

you used the Ultimate Terraining Map and blizzard trees?
I believe those are the modified bliz trees in UTM.

Ah now I see. Thanks for the welcome back btw. :smile:

The terrain is pretty good. Not great though. I like the terrain, but the water sticks out too much. Adding a fog which blends with everything (Terrain, water, doodads, units, etc.) will hide the obviousness of the waterfall/river/stream which will, in this case, be a good thing.

Overall, for a first terrain, this is very good. Some minor fixes needed, but nothing major, really. Good work and keep it up!

You need to add some plants and use UTM tree models ONLY.
I wouldn't say that. There a lot of viable tree models out there. The UTM just makes it easy to access a lot of the good ones.
As for the terrain, if though it has a game camera, it has a good atmosphere, better than a lot of beginner terrains. The right side of the waterfall also looks too flat. Even so, kudos on a job well done for a starting terrain. Keep practicing. =)
