Classic Terrain Showcase

[FeelsGoodMan]

Just posting some terrain pictures of a very early team project. I am trying to use exclusively high quality models to make it a true total conversion terrain.

This is the first of around 6-7 zones (each zone will be different maps, and combined like in the Rexxar campaign).

Spoiler: militia camps

Spoiler: village

Spoiler: monastery

Spoiler: bear's den

Spoiler: docks

Spoiler: farm

Spoiler: sacred tree

Spoiler: others

Someone's spamming the terrain board, lol.
Would be a good idea to not leave people too much in suspense. Write some description about the images under spoilers. You wouldn't know what to expect. 'tis like gambling

Well nobody posts in the terrain board, so someone's gotta give it some love

Well that would be a project thread, now I'm just posting terrain screenies.

A guided tour with the footman, Dora the Explorer. Only 3 interiors are done, or else I would have entered the other houses too. No pathing blockers have been places so Dora just kinda walks everywhere

 

[FeelsGoodMan]

Some more interiors;

Don't mind the same woman behind all the counters. She will be replaced. The same with all the carpets, they will be retextured for more variety.

Spoiler: Florist

Spoiler: Food/Grocery shop

Spoiler: Alchemy Shop (not done)

I wish you didn't use realistic assets especially those made by B2M, for me they don't work well because it is using real textures while the rest looks fantasy-ish because of hand brushed textures. Nonetheless it looks good! Like I said at one of your captures you posted in the media section I like the foliage alot, you're really good at it. I like the lighting too.

I think they look good some places while other places could probably do without them.

Nonetheless it's looks good! Like I said at one of your captures you posted in the media section I like the foliage alot, you're really good at it. I like the lighting too.

Thanks!

Interior looks good although the ground need some variation.

 

[Heinvers]

Great works. However I am more curious to see how your work in Reforged :]

Thanks! Do you mean the interior floor or the ground outside?

Great works. However I am more curious to see how your work in Reforged :]

Thanks! Unfortunately I'm not so hyped for Reforged :/

 

[PurgeandFire]

These all look amazing! I really love the monastery and chapel terrains, the layout and decoration is gorgeous!

I’m really liking your work with textures. The statue and the world tree especially. Those walls are also really nice.

Witch's Tree Hut:

The general terrain around the large tree will be improved. I have focused solely on making this 100% pathable (both the lower and upper levels, even though they're directly over/under each other, are pathable).

[Med. MapGuy]

Awesome tree house! Very atmospheric with the fog too.

More terrain is done, which means more pictures:

Spoiler: Pond

Spoiler: Forest Stuff

Spoiler: More Ruins

Spoiler: Hunter's Lodge

(The hunter's lodge still needs some stuff, but I have to edit some models for that. It's gonna get some furs, dead animal racks, skinning rack and more).

Tiny update with two pictures and one short video;

Playing around with pathing and making it possible to walk under bridges etc. to bring a new level of depth to the terrain;

 

[PROXY]

How do you achieve that? Somewhoe playing around with destructables?

Haha just kidding.

First I placed invisible units as pathing blockers on top of invisible platforms and killed/resurrected them as needed but then I found a more efficient and cleaner way.

It turns out you can kill a destructible and place another one on top of the dead destructible (for example an invisible platform on top of a dead pathing blocker).

So you preplace a lot of invisible platforms, kill them at initialization, create pathing blockers on top of the invisible platforms with triggers at initialization and then save them to variables. When a unit enters certain regions you first kill the pathing blockers, then you ress the invisible platforms. Reverse the effects when the unit moves back.

Very good idea! I figured that it would be something like this. Quite simple but very much effective.

Great terrain as well btw

Forest terrain is nearly done, just missing the lumber mill cabin interior;

 

[Chaosy]

Don't be fooled guys. Spawn of evil this one.

Love that you managed to create a vibrant forest without overcrowding of tress, which is not a simple task concerning visibility in stuff in wc3. For sure gonna take some inspiration from that

I'm glad you like it! The world tree models you see can actually turn transparent, so I have a plan of making them transparent when you walk behind them.
