CoBrA b's SC2 Creations

[CoBrA b]

Well, I've been on a road trip these last few days, and, with nothing better to do, I pulled out my laptop and started to make some SC2 terrains. Since posting all of them in different threads would probably be considered borderline spam, I've decided to make an SC2 showcase, containing all terrains I have done in the Galaxy Editor to date. I'll update this continuously.

In order:
1. The Void is a Beautiful Thing
2. Nuke Aftermath
3. Forgotten Shrine
4. Water Temple
5. Pacifica (based on what I saw driving along the Pacific coastline)
6. Pacifica II
7. Tropical Falls.
8. Bel'shir Colony.
9. Shrine of the Oasis.
10. Red Shores.

Enjoy!

You would think it is drawn or made in photoshop but as i got the editor myself i know that isnt true

 

[Piwlady]

I really love these graphics in this game. Gotta get Galaxy editor soon too.

 

[Celaquil]

I like the third one the best, and there are some of them that dont really look all too amazing, but hell, what is there to expect when the editor is so new?

Good work nonetheless, might have to make another sc2 terrain myself >.>

 

[Insincerity]

Pretty poor, to be honest. I feel like I'm the only one who can see past the LOLGOODGRAPHICS. It's just really really messy... probably because you're not used to the editor yet.

Elaboration please?

Rockspam, Bushspam, treespam, bad doodad placement?

"Messy" doesn't help me improve.

The water doesn't look like water in some pictures, more like something plastic.
Maybe it's just SCII's current water, I don't know.

 

[Lambdadelta]

Hehe. Try the water with settings at low, it looks like.... Warcraft's Doodad Water (Infrane's)

 

[thedeathunterxx]

whether this is good or bad i do not know since i dont own/play SC2

but dam those are great graphics, those need to be apart of WC3, or Wc4 =p

i think they look nice and pretty.

 

[Dia3olus]

Seems like blizzard still isnt able to create good trees...
Or more that these trees arent suitable for these camera angles...

 

[Belgarath]

personally i love the 7th

 

[Megafyr]

Really like number six. Just wondering, is it possible to take glow models from UTM into the Galaxy editor?

 

[Narrat0r]

God damn it... Terrains are great, except that on my shitty PC they will look like Starcraft 1!

UPDATE: New terrain added. I call it "Shrine of the Oasis."

Hope you like it!

Messy as in unpolished. I can't explain how you'd go about doing that because it depends on what kind of look you're aiming for and what you have placed on the map. All I can say to elaborate is that each one looks like the terraining equivalent of putting a noise filter over a photo. Most of the time I can hardly see what's going on.

Ha, and I just noticed, the 5th one reminds me almost exactly of one of Belgarath's old terrains. Good influence

 

[takakenji]

there's a difference between messy and realistic

 

[Celaquil]

Realism isnt a synonym for good looking, in fact there are loads of real world nature pictures that look like shit.

 

[Narrat0r]

Yeah, like my city. xD
Great terrains overall.

 

[CoBrA b]

New terrain added: Red Shores.

 

[Celaquil]

Likeable, though I am not too fond of those brown stones together with green forest, nor do I understand why you use still water when there are like 3-4 other much better water models to use >.>

 

[CoBrA b]

Actually, for some reason, my editor's bugged up, and will only show still water past a certain camera angle. Working on it right now.

 

[~Void~]

I dunno what's up with the water in the Galaxy Editor, but it's really hard to see. The degree of reflection makes it look like it's just opening up into empty sky.

 

[Orcsbreath]

AAAAAAAAHHHH!! *Falls down and remains unconsious for an hour*
Does that dark templar in the first one have his reflection in some water, or is the rest of it just so cool i'm hallucinating????

 

[-SoulBurn]

Does water reflections are "automatically created" in galaxy editor? 'Cause they're a pain to do in WE.

Also i agree, sc2 graphics are great, but things looks just to messy. I've seen a lot of WE terrains that are not even amongst the tops that looks better.

I'm not saying your terrains are not good, they're pretty good imo, but it's just i don't like sc2 graphics ;s
