Could this work as a cave?

[Spartipilo]

I'm trying to make a cave where some kind of hermit lives.

Looks awesome. Conitinue like that

 

[Adiktuz]

but maybe you can edit some of those rocks and remove the floating parts... (you can do that on Magos)

 

[Oziris]

Looks more like a cave where zombies would crawl out

 

[Spartipilo]

Well... who knows? Maybe it's just an empty cave... or not?

 

[Oziris]

You said where a hermit lives

 

[Adiktuz]

Hermit, crab?

from this angle it kinda looks like a hole in the ground rather than a cave.
add a ladder ? or some kind of stairs for an illusion of depth.
also if somebody lives down there I can imagine it would be a pain to navigate through the pitch dark, maybe add a torch there somehow.

 

[Spartipilo]

The torch is inside the cave (some other place in the map, I'll make the 'in-cave' later. Outside are the clothes, fishes and boxes.

Inside lives some kind of naturist hermit monk.

- Added two more rocks to make it less "hole in the ground" and more "cave hole".

Very nice but why is there cloths on the floor and why is there a potion on the side shurbery could he imrpoved and plz fill the view

 

[Spartipilo]

Well... this is not a Terrain showcase, it's an RPG i'm working on. There's a wood near to the cave, and there's a potion there... Problem? Cloths are there because the monk is drying them with sunlight =)

Oof course it could be improved... I just wanted some oppinions about this. The area still requires a lot of terraining work... I'll update it when some major improvement have been done

 

[dragonslarger]

actually i think you should add an arch cause it looks a / shape cave useing a arch and stones on top might add a cavey effect

 

[Kno_Mad]

the ground at the entrance could use some work. maybe if the black bit was not as oval-shaped, but flattened a bit more at the bottom?

or try adding another defined edge with another boulder, as on the right-hand side...

Could this work as a cave? It certainly can.
The only suggestion I can give here is that you should use multiple kinds of rock doodads, so that the roof of your cave looks more natural.

from this angle it kinda looks like a hole in the ground rather than a cave.

well technically a cave is a hole in the ground.

Multiple kinds of rocks and bigger ones clustered together also had a arch and it could be a cave.
Is that shadows from destructibles » you used?

 

[Spartipilo]

No, it's a black fog model... actually, that's the best angle to look at it, if the player changed the angle, it seems like the dark is in front of the cave, and not inside it

 

[tobyfat50]

Then how about using shadows in addition so that it looks good frome all angles!

 

[Spartipilo]

Maybe you could help me with that I'll let you know!

 

[tobyfat50]

For now I am working on 2 projects with 1 of theme almost finished. I don't know what time i`l have but making your terrain from time to time won't be a problem at least.
Just send me the map and some instructions, I'll see what I can do!

dude marvelous work with your cave, but you need to close all of those gaps in your rock base.

simply make a new doodad coming from the "Hay Clump" model and change it in your desired rock model and your done, like this for an example:

its a simple and yet useful approach for everyone
