Hello.
Well, this is my first terrain project. Little town near lake surrounded by forest.
I know, its horrible, so i need your advice how to improve it. Maybe i should use custom models?... But i never seen custom autumn tree models..

P.S. Dont look at units, they will be added little later :p When i finish with this damn terrain.. :grin:

~~~old screens deleted :p~~~

Hey that's not horrible, don't tell yourself that. It's awsome for a beginner. The only think I would suggest you improve on is the actually terrain itself. You have really big bland patches of dirt. Mix those with rough dirt to make it look better. My only other complaint would be the sea, it's kind of basic. Maybe add some shallow parts, or other doodads in it, Seaweed etc.

Thanks or advices ^.^

PROAGE!!! is this map meant to be playable? and in the fourth pic the dock looks kinda wierd.

if it isnt meant to be playable increase the size of the trees to make the scale more realistic.

Well this map is playable. I hope. Lol. Just trying to make solo RPG :)
Well i know, dock is horrible. But i really got no idea how to represent docks with warcraft3 standart doodads..

Thanks anyways.

Well thanks. But i think these trees are too bright... hell, my brains are goin to burn o_O *gone to look for more tree models*
Well, in fact, this is my first terrain. I didnt really like to make terrains, i was *spell-idea-scripting* specializied. Just read some terrain guides before makin that.

That's just beautiful!
It reminds of Tomb Raider... don't ask me why... o_O'

Tomb Raider? o_O lol.

Looks good, though you use the flower doodads a bit too much. Keep up the good work, your tile variation is nice.

Well there are so many flowers because of map' theme :p Flowerland xD

P.S. Sry for grammatic mistakes, got problems with english <('.'<) <( '.' )> (>'.')>
P.P.S Now i know - makin terrain is %$#%*!! much harder than spells lol >.<
P.P.P.S. Maybe i should remove old screens to dont eat your traffic? :p

Dude, that's awsome...Just a few things to comment:
1. That tree only used once in the first one...remove it. Very out of place
2. Second pic looks very messy with all of those fences
3. Perhaps you should remove the swamp trees in the third....

Go to the ocean. Nothing special about it but every hundred miles a strand of floating seaweed. Besides that it is just water.
