Cheesey_111 First Terraining

[Mookand]

This is my first terraining i have ever done. its supposed to be underwater somewhere. so i just want to know what people think of it and what should be improved.

It's average.You can improve it.Hmmm...It's underwater.Put some fish there.

 

[Blackveiled]

Its a good idea, but its REALLLY hard to get an underwater terrain, to well...look underwater... Make a dark blue fog, and add some bubbles (raise them with ctrl+page up)

Is that a tree in the bottom right corner of the second screenshot?

Needs a lot of work. There is nothing to look at. It's overall really boring. I suggest better camera angles, more doodads, and get rid of the blizzard cliffs. Although the cliffs are surprisingly nice. You can keep them so you don't have to start over.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41713 Here is a link to another underwater thread. Look for my post with the example. It's not all that great, but I think you can still learn from it.

This looks so-so underwater, but you have no bubbles, no life and almost no doodads or anything else either. Improve this by actually adding life at the bottom, more tile variation, even if it just 2 different sand tiles, it is better than no variation.

Also avoid using blizzard cliffs, it doesn't help forwarding the underwater feel.

And a terrain doesn't automaticly become good because you place a million crashed ships, keep that in mind

rofl, the first time I read this I misread it as if you were insulting him.

He's right though. The underwater terrains need fish, bubbles, maybe rays of moonlight, and so probably fish bigger than others such as Sharks/Dolphins.

So more life and bubbles + bigger fish and camera angle will make it better?
and about the questions
@ragingspeedhorn those were the same sunken ships just on the other side of them and i agree with not much life.
@Craka_J that was coral and i agree with you agreeing.
@Gilles your terrain is seems good mmm stacking.
@Banlord i feel like teal is an alright color for water as not all water is the same and i will add bubbles.
@UchihaSasuke.gr Theirs fish now

Anyways so would these be an improvement except for the blizzard cliffs still?

 

[Gilles]

That firs one is really good! The others are a real improvement, but not nearly as good as the first. Underwater is really hard. =(

You could really use tile variation, which is impossible with Blizzard cliffs. That is one huge reason not to use them!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It is starting to look better, I prefer the 3rd and 5th images.

 

[Bob27]

Yea I like the 5th picture, looks like its full of life. The rest of them look good as well, except for the 2nd one, which for me just seams to blank and empty.

 

[Gilles]

Oh and +rep for good improvement!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

It's nice.But Wc3 doesn't have a good ''underwater'' life.Try Age Of Mythology instead.

 

[Gilles]

This is so true!

 

[Craka_J]

I like that last one a lot.
Your under-water terrains have a dirty look to them. I haven't figured it out yet but so far I'm guessing it is the cliffs you made.
