Some more snowy mountains;

Outrageous! Why would you leave that poor horse harnessed at the cart while it's snowing outside? D:

Ice Cave:

FeelsGoodMan · Apr 28, 2020

A bridge somewhere in the mountains. Quite happy with this one.

PROXY · Apr 29, 2020

Not sure I like the ice cave. The idea is great but the execution is a tad bit lacking. Too many different ice models are used in combination, especially the deep blue with the white ones produce a contrast that looks really cartoony. And the spikes feel out of place as well. The bridge looks cool though!

Yeah I guess I can change it up a bit. I'll see what I do, but I agree with your points.

That bridge is epic. You nailed it

That snow terrain is dope.

But may I suggest you try to add region to it and add light wind weather to it? See if that will look good.

Do you mean instead of the strong wind? I can try.

Strydhaizer · May 4, 2020

Strong Wind's kinda intense there's a lighter wind (Northrend Wind? I can't remember) which is slower and causes less lag in game. If that doesn't work maybe add light snow weather instead.

FeelsGoodMan · May 17, 2020

After a short break I'm on it again;

FeelsGoodMan · May 18, 2020

The capital in the mountains is nearing completion. Interiors remains of course, both for the normal houses and for the indoors fortress/castle, and some underground interiors inside the mountains.

FeelsGoodMan · May 22, 2020

Some more stuff:

PROXY · May 22, 2020

Yes! Ruins! Pedestals! Giant Heads! Love it

Thanks, I'm glad you like it

EDIT:

Retextured the head as the other texture didn't really fit the environment.

You are getting proficient at terraining. I love the scenes so far ^^

I think what I am most impressed about is the sense of scale you got going.
The scale of the buildings compared to the rest of the terrain and the units just all seems to fit so well,
really outstanding job on that!

I was thinking that if the houses and so on are gonna be of a realistic scale, where you can enter them and such they shouldn't be too small or else it would feel weird.

FeelsGoodMan · Jun 1, 2020

A hike in the mountain;

I'm nearly done with the exterior. Some things are still unfinished, and the door animations will be made non-looping. I haven't started on the interiors yet, but there will be elaborate interiors for most buildings/forts/castles and whatnot.

P.S: Skip 14:30 - 15:55, it's just me waiting for day break.

PROXY · Jun 1, 2020

Will watch the whole thing later. One thing that came to my mind is the transition between the large cliff rocks and the ground.

For my taste the transition is too sharp and it looks too much like one gigantic large piece of boulder stuck into the ground. While that may be ok, there are nearly no other rocks nearby, which makes it feel a tiny bit weird.

But its really a minor issue. I totally love the debt you've created with the cliffs, valleys, mountains and so on. Been aiming to create a similar feel as I've not seen a map that portraits that feeling modern isometric games have.

And you might want to try out footstep sounds

i feel the immersion takes a huge step up when using them.

I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, do you have any examples?

The video has all Warcraft 3 sounds muted, and just has two youtube videos running in the background for ambient sounds and music. Footsteps (at least visually) must be added to the model as far as I know, and sounds I'm not sure if is added to the model or not but yeah, it would be cool to have. I can probably just use a movement tracker and play a looping sound whenever the hero moves, but the steps would be out of sync I guess.

FeelsGoodMan · Jun 16, 2020

Started on the fort interior;

PROXY · Jun 17, 2020

Heck yeah. I love the feeling of height and width. Really feels like the interior of a fort.

The only thing bugging me is the different colors of stones, where the floor is a normal grey, while literally everything else has a largely blueish tint to it. Will it be fixed through ingame lighting and fog?

Yeah I used the exterior walls/doodads for the interiors. I was gonna retexture it before I made the fort interior, but I didn't really find any fitting free textures to use. I'll probably just end up editing the texture they already use to make it a bit more gray.

FeelsGoodMan · Jun 17, 2020

@PROXY

Should look better now;

FeelsGoodMan · Jun 18, 2020

More interiors for the fort;

FeelsGoodMan · Jun 19, 2020

Couldn't resist. After all, everyone needs lavatories...

FeelsGoodMan · Jun 25, 2020

Finally done with the fort, with the exception of some minor things that will be fixed/tweaked. I'm quite happy with how it turned out

Heinvers · Jun 26, 2020

The attention to details and the overall terraining efforts are damn good. :]

Added a church in the tiny mountain village;

nice. i'm loving these constant updates.
they almost motivate me to start terraining myself again, almost

It would certainly be a most welcome addition to the terrain board, now it's kinda dead in here except 2-3 people who post sometimes

FeelsGoodMan · Jul 5, 2020

Ruined pagan temple;

The mountain zone is nearing completion. Still need some interiors and a yak farm.

FeelsGoodMan · Aug 3, 2020

Started on the city/capital zone. Experimenting with new ways to make roads.

FeelsGoodMan · Aug 10, 2020

Early preview of the graveyard. It will probably undergo some changes, not sure how happy I am with it.

Yeah although there is no gameplay (yet) they are all playable.

Good to hear. I for one always preferred playable terrains (even when not made for a specific map) to the purely artistic ones that were hugely popular back in the days.

Yeah me too, although I do find scenic terraining very impressive it's only good for one shot and have no practical uses.

I mean sure, but in a game play sense it has no practical use. Not saying it's not awesome, just that it doesn't personally give me anything to be doing scenic terraining.

You could make painting doodads out of them, therefore integrate them in a playable map
