Cineamtic Terrain Ideas

[xDeathKnightx]

Hey guys!

I need some help at the moment, i am making, a rather, Unique fight involving Arthas/Lich King. Anyway, i need an idea on terrain, because usually it's just based up in snowy mountains or whatever or outside the frozen throne, but this, really will be a unique fight, so i wanted to have a Unique terrain also, anyone got any ideas?

Well if you want Unique idea, then make fight in modern building(s). That would be Unique, eventhough not real, but i IMO it would look very interesting.

Hmm, i was thinking about that, but i might need alot of Imported models for it, i was hoping to keep file size down, so that i could have more voice-overs in it.

But, if you think it would be Interesting, then why not?

Somehow I can't picture that.

But if you need inspiration, as far as snow-based terrains goes we have alot of them - I even think we have quite a variety of terrains portraying the lich king.
Perhaps MadseN's showcase could be of some help. Plus, I think this one looks rather nifty.

I don't mean, unique as in, it would be better than everyone else's out there.
It's just, i kinda had an idea in my head, about the fight, and who is involved in it, and i think it would be quite unique, as everyone Else's is between Illidan and Arthas.

Why you wana keep file size down? In cinematics this dosent matter, only if you make in for multiplayer, then it needs to be small. And how much would models take? Maybe 4 mb max? I dont see it problem. Some of the best cinematic have filesize over 10 mb, but it wont matter, cause it wont affect cinematic watching(atleast havent done anything to me).

Well, i'm just thinking about it, if you said 'Modern' do you mean like Tokyo 2011? or more like London 1900? Because, models from Born2Modificates High res pack would be good for 1900, maybe. but Toyko, would like require, different types of cars, buildings, buses, trucks etc..

but i must say, i am quite looking forward to trying this different theme

If you want modern doodads, then this should do in my opinion.

Lighting and Modern Objects

This is an pack where you can find lots of models for todays world.
Original thread is this, but the download link is broken there.

Maybe you can use them.

Wow, thank you man , you saved me quite a bit of time with that

:Edit:

This is a really good pack and all, and i love the lighting idea, and all the doodads are quite epic, but i was going for maybe an outside more modern fight. Because, if it is inside, i can't really make the people fighting like, jump, or fly/hover or anything like that =/ , i could still use it, but it might not be used as good as it would be for an inside terrain.

Your welcome.

i think a unique ( and or generic ) idea would be to have a battlefield scene, where Arthas, being a general and all, stands on the battlefield, and of course, fights someone epicly and all that stuff.

But the idea is, just arthas on a battlefield. Could be anywhere. May a i suggest the battlefield similiar to the Reign of chaos intro cinematic.

just my 2 cents
