Craka_J's Terrain Showcase

Craka_J · Feb 17, 2007

Just a bunch of Screenshots in the WEU I took of my terrain of RPG maps of mine. Enjoy! ^_^

Killer_Mushroom · Feb 17, 2007

I especially like screenshots 11, 12, and 15, but they're all nice.

Craka_J · Feb 17, 2007

All of these shots are WIPs

operator · Feb 17, 2007

The indoor one are really awsome

Med. MapGuy · Feb 17, 2007

.

Very impressive. Any place we'll ever see these terrain? In a campaign/RPG/cutscene perhaps?

The_wand_mirror · Feb 17, 2007

Omg .. this is perfect .. its not like wc3 anymore .. u said it was an rpg? can we play it? ..

operator · Feb 17, 2007

Yes. These are all my projects that I am terraining alone. My main triggerer is me, RulerofIron99, and maybe HappyTauren if he wants to be my slave

PS: Here are the links to the Hidden project and the RPG project, The Lost Legend Of Heroes.

Nice screens keep it up!

If I were to mention anything. . .it would be that most of the ground is flat for a lot of the pictures.

Also in number 9 it could use some more ground variation. . .

+REP!

Rui · Feb 17, 2007

Wonderful. I am going to satisfy everyone's wishes and award Craka with some reputation!

Em! · Feb 17, 2007

Sweet cookies

Love number 5 dude awesome. I´ve always wanted to try my hand in terraning in that way since i do a lot of maps but i just can´t stand importing too many skins and models. Jeez you make it look like blizz are noobs compared to you folks when it comes to maps.

lol thanks, makes me want to terrain more! ^_^

@Deckboy: I see what you mean about the major flatness, but that's mainly because of the gay camera system in-game. It kinda gets messed up and gets annoying when running on hills so I tried to keep most places flat. Once I fix the camera system (if I ever do) I'll add some yummy hills

blazing-inferno · Feb 19, 2007

wow... simply amazing.....almost looks like its from morrowind or something and not wc3.

Chaos Overlord · Feb 19, 2007

How did you do that awesome fence in the fifth one? That's easily my favorite, but the indoor ones are really cool too.

Wait, are those all high res stuff? Are they availible somewhere or did you make them?

JarrardKO · Feb 19, 2007

Way to abuse the custom doodads.

LeaderDark · Feb 19, 2007

these maps are beutiful..... i love them especialy 5

Hawkwing · Feb 20, 2007

Cool terrains.. but I think everyone is focusing on the models in the background lol... Good Job...

Craka_J · Feb 21, 2007

IMO, WC3 models suck... really badly too. And I don't like working with them very much either; Hence the reason why I use so many custom doodads lol

In #5, the 'fence' is made of a bunch of custom spike models placed together and the gate is downloaded from WC3sear.ch, a LotR Mines of Moria door.
And no, I did not 'make' the High-Res models. They are by Born2Modificate and some are by WoW and I think others are by some other german guys. Forgot their names

Chaos Overlord · Feb 21, 2007

Those are Born2Modificate's? Did he release a second pack? I don't recognize the wall thing in the first.

Craka_J · Feb 21, 2007

Nope. It all came in one big file. It was there in his pack.

The indoor walls however are by -=Emergenzy=-

Craka_J · May 20, 2007

More screenshots

Here are some more screenshots, these are from a project I've been terraining called "Apocolypse". (Survival Map) Website is HERE!
Enjoy!

[Edit]:
Added one more new screenshot. Hope you guys like it! Most of it was done by Ragingspeedhorn, but I added some more stuff to it and changed some sizes and rotations of a few doodads and placed a couple new things as well.

SuPa- · May 20, 2007

Very nice modern terrains! Looks cool.

Bloody_Demise · May 20, 2007

Very awesome terrain, a lot better than mine, however, keep in mind people, it doesn't look like Warcraft, because it really isn't, I don't think I actually saw one thing in any of these that weren't imported, which means its only good for campaigns. (AKA make lots of campaigns please :infl_thumbs_up:

) +Rep!

PS: The Apocalypse stuff looks like Silent Hill sort of, really good job!

Burger_Bling · May 23, 2007

Excellent, you deserve a hug, I also like #5 and i like #1

Craka_J · May 23, 2007

It IS Warcraft III, just custom models. Some models were actually not released... yet. But since I'm the terrainer of the project, don't you think I have access to the unreleased models and skins?

Thanks alot for the rep and feedback, I greatly appreciate it.

Also, I was actually TRYING to make it look like Silent Hill. So I guess I achieved my goal. First Apocalypse screenshot was meant to look like a HL2 shot you'd see.

PurgeandFire · May 23, 2007

Nice terrains Craka_J! gj and +rep!

btw: Is Punisher_X the creator of the apocalypse project? I'm just curious. :grin:

Craka_J · May 23, 2007

Yes, Punisher_X is the leader of the project. I'm just a terrainer and made the website for the project, might also help with storyline if needed.

FrostyisdaKing · May 23, 2007

very nice

you should really talk with my friend RDZ hes a heavy unit modeler and has messed with something like that.

Heres a linky to his website. http://rdznet.com/forum/index.php

Craka_J · May 25, 2007

I am not really looking for any more projects to work on at the moment. Not until I complete both my Counter-Strike map and finish the terrain on Apocalypse.

Mabus · Jun 16, 2007

Amazing, none of them look like wc3 (except for the ones during daytime) i wish i could get my hands on that guard model in 16th pic! forgot, apocalypse looks like another game, most are far past what blizzard has ( and mabey will) do. a big, fat GJ

Gilles · Sep 2, 2007

Hmm, I find this amusing. Not sure but if aomeone else posted this now, would you not tell them to add more environment doodads Craka? Still a lot of it looks good, but I dislike High-Res doodads, I think normal WC3 models look nicer.

Craka_J · Sep 2, 2007

Well almost all of it is WIPS and yeah I definately need a ton more environment doodads with most of them. But some are really good IMO. I like what I've done with Apocalypse's terrain most I think.
The high-res ones needs a lot of work too. That project was only about 10% done at the time.
I know, I know... excuses, excuses lol

Hopefully I'll get back in the mood to terrain something good again and have something to show for it.
~Craka_J

HINDYhat · Sep 2, 2007

I've been looking for nice guard/human models like in your pictues (they're very nice by the way). Can you give me a link to them, or are they strictly for you :/

Craka_J · Sep 2, 2007

They used to be on WC3Sear.ch but since that website is down for good, I suppose I'll PM you the file. I won't post it publicly though because it is against the rules to post ripped models such as World of Warcraft exported models.
~Craka_J

Gilles · Sep 2, 2007

I really think you should make a new WIP, not using the High-Res. IMO it just looks bad.

Craka_J · Sep 2, 2007

I think I will. But it's a little late tonight to start making a map, so I'll probably do it tomorrow hopefully.
I wanna try to make a survival map or something! Never made one of those before... successfully atleast.
PS: Funny how you said I should start another WIP lol so true.
~Craka_J

Gilles · Sep 2, 2007

If you want, you can do a WIP for my map. lol
I also have been wanting to do a castle builder, where you build up a sweet base and stuff attacks you.

Craka_J · Sep 2, 2007

That actually would be a good idea. Too bad I don't have enough knowlege about triggering a map like that. Where catapults hit you and depending on the off-set of the projectile a piece of your wall gets destroyed or something. I'd have to do it with doodads though probably or flying units.
Anyway, I might help you terrain your map. I've been really bored with my personal RPG that I've been terraining out of bordom as I impatiently wait for WC3:WoW for me to terrain it. Not making any promises though that I'll stay with it!
~Craka_J

Gilles · Sep 2, 2007

BTW I do have access to 2, 70 horde characters. IF you ever need/want me.

Craka_J · Sep 2, 2007

Read the first post, hopefully that will explain how you can help us clearly.
~Craka_J

Warlord_HU · Sep 2, 2007

Men this looks godlike

+rep

(i hope that WC3:WoW gona have terrains like this)

Craka_J · Sep 2, 2007

Eventually, WC3:WoW will be a lot more improved. I still need to redo Durotar, Mulgore, and Thunder Bluff...

Lonely Wolf. · Sep 3, 2007

You got skills, no second thoughts there.

Craka_J · Sep 4, 2007

Thanks a lot Lonely Wolf. Your words are refreshing and encouraging! I really hope I get into the mood to make some terrains soon!
~Craka_J

Gilles · Sep 5, 2007

I sure hope you do. Maybe try and enter Rui's contest.

Craka_J · Sep 5, 2007

I'd love to enter Rui's contest. But I just don't have the time anymore to enter contests like that. Even though it'd probably take a day or two until my entry is complete

Here are some screenshots that I don't believe I have bothered to add to this thread yet.
Besieged is an old map I started. It's a new type of map, but I guess it'd fall into the Hero Arena category. It's a very old project so the terrain may not be as great as most of my newer projects terrain.

Where are 2, 8 and 11? In the original post? Maybe you should add these to it, unless you don't really like them.

I like them. Although a few things, the last couple or so have paths that are really straight, and some are slightly plain in spots, but actually it looks pretty nice plain. I am sure you can find more than i can, you usually do.

Craka_J · Sep 6, 2007

Yeah the terrain is very empty. And the project was about maybe 60% complete. Will I ever finish it? I'd like to, but lack triggerers who are dedicated and commited to it so it will probably never be finished.
The other numbered screenshots weren't such great screenshots. Some were really poor screenshots of the in-game play and it disgusted me. So what you see, is the best I've got so far.
If I find any more good screenshots that I haven't uploaded yet, I'll post them as soon as I find them.
