Dieseldodge's Terrains

[Dieseldodge]

In a boring day , I've had an ideea...I tryed to make some terrains and not only..I want to thank very much to Ultimate Terraining Map. In one of the shots it was usefully for me.

You can see:

1. An Azshara island.
2. Some barracks on an island ( more models used than terrain , but )
3. Somewhere in Barrens
4. Desert to nowhere...
5. An mountain! ( Sincerily I like it very much )
6. Something like the Ogrimmar Gate ( Yes , almost model , but I used also terrain... do not flame )
7. An Koreea dueling place! Ya-Ja-Huuu!
8. A polar bear in Lordaeon Mountains...Lovely!
9. The Frozen Island

I hope you like them! I just wanted to share my work for entertaiment. Maybe I will add more soon.

They could all use some fog. They all also look very plain, you should add some more doodads to them, especially the last one.

 

[Dieseldodge]

I'll do that soon as possible. Thanks anyway!

Most of the pics are very very empty... you should work MUCH on those...

 

[Dieseldodge]

Damn but I worked a lot in them!!! Momii!!!

 

[redscores]

Most of them are filled with not-good looking stuff, like the one with the bear, the stone claws are floating...

Sorry to be so harsh but... You should consider becoming good in something else than terraining.

No need for negative comments, and no reason to stop terraining. Practice goes a long way.
Your terrains could actually look pretty neat with some help, here's some of the basics.
-Use fog. This very simple tool when played with can greatly affect the overall look of a terrain.
-Tile variation: Play around with tiles, don't only change it up for roads or paths.
-Stay away from blizzard trees and blizzard cliffs. Start your map with shallow water and use the raise or lower tool from there. Also, the smooth tool is your friend, the noise tool is it's worst adversary.
-Plan and consider: Before you begin your terrain, take time out to think. Go through your doodads after planning out your terrain. Consider "What can I use that would go well with this terrain, and how would I go about incorporating it."

I hope these tips get you started on your way. Also, look into the tutorials on this terrain and over at the terrain board at wc3campaigns.net. Many have found them to be very helpful. Also look over other terrains from your fellow board members and try to make use of similar ideas that they've used that you think looks good. Another thing I'd also suggest is to look into The Ultimate Terraining Map. It has plenty of great, small file sized size and it's an easy to use one time download. Good luck!
