Belgrath's Secondary Showcase!

[Gilles]

It's from WoW. There's a bridge kind of like the one you made. Although there is no river under it.

You sure are pumping out the screens! GJ

The dark ones aren't as good as your first one, but still okay. The NE pictures are good, nothing I can see wrong.

 

[Belgarath]

I see, and they're not NE ones, unless I use my old name for them (about 20 min old) - the views of the power rangers.
Yeah, I know that I'm really pumping 'em, I often don't have anything else to do >_>
*update: added 3 village screens, all playable. I'm making a "pretty" village map to look at.
*update: added 2 village screens, all playable.

 

[Belgarath]

*update: this is for all 8 village screens. They're all from my map, which might just exist at some point. No, it's not killing me making all these screens, it's rather placing all the pathing blockers to make these babies playable.
Yes, yes, double post, but I thought 8 screens deserved an update.
*update: LOL, already have to edit. Added 3 - populated - ones.

 

[Gilles]

Wow, a lot of new stuff.

You're getting better pretty fast! The last one is the only one I dislike. The corn is kind of ugly.

 

[Belgarath]

It looked good in the WE : /

 

[squadexodus]

i like the Lake ones alot, the background really works well...

 

[Belgarath]

Squad, good to see you on here ^^
Yeah, I really liked the lake ones too, they had a nice, calm - peaceful even sort of atmosphere.
*update: added a mountain pass picture.

 

[Gilles]

I like the new mountain one. Only thing is the different plants you used. I suggest taking out the spiky fern. Keep the other fern type though. Also maybe tint the bushes to a lighter green. They stand out a bit.

 

[Belgarath]

Spiky fern ... oh, that. Yeah, it DOES look funky. The bushes are supposed to stand out, they're bushes! Any feedback on the village, by the way?
*update: added 2 rocky path pictures.

 

[squadexodus]

Like the mountain ones too.
I have nothing to say about the villages...

 

[Belgarath]

*update: added a cave one. My first attempt at a cave inside
*update: added the outside of the cave in two screens. It lagged me bad >_<

 

[Gilles]

The mountains ones are nice. I don't like the inside of the cave at all. Way too straight.

 

[Belgarath]

True, it's my first attempt on something like that, so I didn't really notice it.
*update: added two cave shots.

 

[Gilles]

Those new ones are a huge improvement. I would rep you more, but I can't!

 

[Belgarath]

Huh? Why's that?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You cannot rep one person before you've repped like 5 others or something like that.

 

[Belgarath]

Ooh, I see. It makes sense. A lot of sense.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Hmm some look good, some look better, and some look just abity less then the others, like the village and the mountains, there might be some work needed on those

 

[Belgarath]

*update: added a snow one, originally for my Maori title page, but I just looked up pictures on google.

 

[squadexodus]

when did those first 2 river shots show up? they werent there before...
Nice with the snow, i love snow terrain

 

[Gilles]

The snow terrain is pretty goo.d Another strong one from you, but I would suggest taking more time on one terrain. Bring the quality up. I also need to do this. Cranking them out like this creates mediocre ones.

 

[Belgarath]

I guess, but I often just run out of ideas if I don't make them quickly.

 

[squadexodus]

Thats what im here for. Ill keep him in shape, or keep him up at night, either way, we all win

 

[Gilles]

Except for Belgarath. He becomes really tired.

 

[Belgarath]

I never said I get tired ... I just run out of ideas, which squad can (very) often provide!
Anyway, any ideas for a few terrain pieces?

 

[Gilles]

Something similar to Minas Tirith. A castle in a mountain!

 

[Belgarath]

Good idea, I'll get started on it once I finish watching the 3rd season of LOST on DVD - just got it

[off-topic]Yay, I've actually managed to adjust to my new, uber keyboard in one day! And it's totally different! Woohoo for me![/off-topic]

 

[Craka_J]

Your skills are improving Belgrath. Your main problem though is you don't make doodads blend properly. For example, you'll have dark shrubs and rocks mixed with those bright custom grass doodads. You need to get the hang of tinting doodads darker/lighter if necessary to make them blend better. As a simple tip, I recommend you should always tint that one custom grass model darker: It is way to bright.

But overall most of your work is satisfying and well made. A bit messy for others, but you are improving.

[HeretoDLstuff]

Some of these looks really good, others are kind of plain...Goodjob!

 

[madman9800]

i know i have commented on this thread before, but THATS SOME AWSOME TERRAIN! are you making a large single map? or are all those screenshots taken from different maps? you should make this terrain playable, and make an RPG out of it, i would be willing to play it just for the terrain...even if the other aspects of the rpg sucked lol, i absulutely LOVE a map with excellent terrain, but you just dont find many like that...

 

[Belgarath]

Well, madman, those village terrains (11 of them) are all playable, I'm not sure if I ever will release that map. Other than that, I couldn't do an RPG, maybe next year. I've worked on a few things, and most of them just start pissing me off ... D:

 

[Craka_J]

I renamed the thread again.
~Craka_J

 

[Belgarath]

Oh, thanks. The title only made sense before if you multiplied the number by 10 ...
*update: Woohoo, the screen's done. Personally, I love it, first time I really actually used amazingly high places.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Dude, these are excellent! 10/10 and +rep!

Anyway, why dont you have an avatar yet?

 

[Belgarath]

I choose not to. I tried taking screens of some movies, but they didn't work. Somehow they were transparent ..

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Aha... I see, maybe you could use a pic of yourself? Which movies, however?

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Aha... I see, maybe you could use a pic of yourself? Which movies, however?

Perhaps he has a good reason not too lawlz.

i like your new update aswell, but i agree with craka, retint that "one grass"

 

[Belgarath]

TV show, not movie. I tried to do the Print screen method, but it didn't work I might get one later, some time .. It's not necessary though, so yeah.

 

[Gilles]

Don't really like the new shots. It looks as though you just splashed the page with doodads. No order. I also don't like the floating rocks on the hillside.

 

[Belgarath]

I guess, but when I tried adding more rocks. They started floating too. When I tried eating them all, it looked shitty.
*update: I forgot this, but I added more screens.

 

[squadexodus]

Huzzah, i see blight. My favorite is the ice one, except those flowers seem slightly out of place.

 

[Gilles]

The last few aren't so hot. Don't slide! Again, spend more time on your work. I know you could go over your stuff, find things wrong, and fix it yourself.

 

[Belgarath]

*update: Added 3 river screens. Wow, it feels good to be back in Village!
Yeah, the recent ones haven't been so good (>_<) I was trying out some other tilesets and decided I love Village and sunken ruins.

 

[Gilles]

The river is alright, but something about it is awkward. Maybe the models used. The colors clash perhaps? I think it's the blueness of the river. Try tinting the water.

 

[Belgarath]

Oh, it is tinted ... woops, I forgot to reset it.
edit: nope, it's not.

 

[ChaveZ]

I really like the wooden-cave thing, its atmosphere is great!

 

[Belgarath]

Wooden cave? Screen # or row? I lost track >_<

 

[kebabmeat]

Really nice showcase, indead. The two first screenshots are the best,
in my opinion. The others are really good, but the first two is best.
I just got to say:

+ Rep!

 

[Belgarath]

Funny, most people said that the first two needed work ..
Not to be greedy, but, you sorta forgot to "+rep" me. At times, Hippocrates just sorta annoy me, but not something small like that, y'know.

 

[kebabmeat]

Oh sorry, forgot it, I had kinda hurry yesterday
