the green fog saddens me...use more of a bluish gray fog and add some shrubs, grass, etc.

 

[Gilles]

I agree with Nuke. You need to change the fog. I would suggest putting shrubs around the trees, and using a little height variation on the area by the building. The river lacks a lot. You need to add river ruses, rocks, shrubs, and cattails. Maybe a couple of farm doodads near the building as well.

 

[Belgarath]

I think it looks great, what trees and barrels are those? (Elwyn trees, right?)
Also, add a few more grasses around the trees, maybe a couple left of the path.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

This is awesome, has a happy feeling to it. I like the green fog, no need to change it IMO. Great angle and I like the way the road curves over to the houses entrance, it looks good. Only thing to improve this could be some more doodads of random stuff that might lay around a house or such.

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

like i said it is not done, and i did not feel like put all the grass in yet, i wanted a yellow-ish fog to give it a Warm feeling like ragingspeedhorn said, and if you cant tell, there is a grave yard in the distance

I hope to be adding more screens soon

EDIT: the doodads can all be found on Wc3 campains

 

[Nuke770]

that goes very well, a happy-yellowish fog and a graveyard in the distance

 

[Craka_J]

That first screenshot is pretty good. Reminds me of Elwyn Forest and Duskwood, where the graveyard is. Except I think it is supposed to be Westfall where the graveyard isn't at.

Same here!

I believe it looks like Jerod's Landing, with the goblin and such.

But yeah, its pretty nice. The second picture can use some work.

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

why do you ppl think i am trying to recreate WoW?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Looks pretty nice!Good work!

 

[demonsofdante]

why do you ppl think i am trying to recreate WoW?

Cause a lot of WoW's terrain is just really boring hills with a random placement of trees.

 

[Gilles]

That is so true demonsofdante. Although not everywhere. The forests like Ashenvale, and STV are well made.

 

[Craka_J]

Now the place looks more like Southshore
But why is there an anchor on the shore of a stream/river?
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

For some reason these are growing on me. I like them more the more you add!!

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

kewl thanks
and the anchor, the 2nd screen shot explains that

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Are you planning to make some more pieces?

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

once i complete this map.... i still have to show you a log house on the map, as well as the details in the graveyard

 

[Belgarath]

The new ones look excellent, my friend. Gj, +rep.

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

OH NOES! i hit the doodad limit.... with all teh grass, so im starting on a new terrain. i might go back to the other one and see if i can find a way to make it look good with out all the grass

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Use WEU or GRIMOIR to dissable the doodad limit.

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

but i do use WEU

 

[Craka_J]

Maybe he's suggesting that you should use one of them.
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

If you are using either then you can DISABLE the doodad limit, so there is, quite logically, no limit, so that you cannot say: "OH NOES! i hit the doodad limit" any longer.

 

[Gilles]

Does MiscData disable the doodad limit?

 

[Craka_J]

No. Misc Data just allows you to make really steep hills with the raise or lower tool in the Terrain Palette.
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

That's it? All that writing for that?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

For the really steep hills.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Yes. But it is a very usefull thing to be able to do.

 

[Gilles]

Yeah it is, I just thought it did more. Oh well.

 

[Belgarath]

What IS that grass actually?

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

the grass is a doodad, and can you ppl plz try to keep you comments directed at the screen shots, and as for the turining off of the doodad limit i will look at that

Edit: found it

 

[Gilles]

I like the new ones! Your work is good. Keep it up.

 

[Belgarath]

Those two last ones are awesome, they look very normal, nothing bad to say about them.

No, I mean like, what's it called / where to get?

 

[Gilles]

Is it not in the UTM?

 

[Cool Joe Smith]

its the grass from xXm0Rph3usXx's plant pack on Wc3C

 

[Belgarath]

Ah, I see. Thanks.

 

[The_wand_mirror]
