Hey everyone, I'm proud to present some of my terrains. Not all of them are of equal quality but I like them anyway. Hope you like them as well, enjoy!
Don't forget to drop a comment down bellow, any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated

1) I like the city but I dont think the background scenery does it justice, it just doesn't fit, but the execution is good none the less.
2) Perfect! Perhaps the enviroment behind the right side of the bridge is a bit emty? I imagine the river continuing and the mountains aswell but perhaps you wanted a coastal line there.
3) I'm not too happy how the mountain looks or that wooden bridge. The Obelisk building spire is also strange to my eyes.

In the end I like them all alot! So much infact that I'm gonna use them as concept for my map, especially the bridge.

Like 3
very nice I looked at em in your art gallery and you are a fine terrainest

The Forbidden Sanctum is actually pretty sweet.

Push the hill in the background back a bit so it blends with the fog and replace the pines with something a little thicker where the trunk doesn't shine through and ruin things.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Yeah, I've noticed that. I will do reword the background sometime this week

Picture 1,
Not good,
Not good backround, sky color selection.
Bad rocks.
Pavement has gaps between it at some spots.
Picture 3
Descent, but somehow it leaves me with a feel of empty-ness, i feel like there is something missing.
Picture 2
Its really nice, and i really liked it when i saw it on the contest.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Well, There really isn't any perfectly aligned pavement, if you look at the streets, the pavements have holes in them here and there. And it's supposed to be right on the beach aka very sunny and burnt rocks

 

[Maestros]

Ok.

That in the circles, is doodad height variation, one is above the other, and it looks bad.
Now as for the rocks, i merely ment the models. They dont fit the terrain. They are ugly for what you want to do.
And I still believe that the sky coloring is bad.

These are my thoughts.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

I agree about the rocks, but those were the closest to what i want that are in UTM 3.0. About the height, that's the closest possible to get it, otherwise it looked worse and ye I know, sky could have been much better.

Then use different doodadds for the pavement.

It won't help as I raise the terrain in order to be able to easily make the other aspects, such as the walls

EDIT: Updated the third picture

 

[HOooDy]

Good Job.

When I see the 1st & 2nd Pic.

I Actually Feel Like I'm In NARNIA

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Added another picture. Tell me what ya' think

 

[Maestros]

Make the fog darker, and it will look great!

 

[sonofjay]

The fog needs to be more dark and the sky is too empty, a couple birds might do.

 

[vuongkkk]

Try to:
- scale the rocks more than three sizes
- roll/pitch the rocks at many different angles
Click here to learn from a guy who does not even use a single custom model but it's still good

 

[Deleted member 212788]

The fog is actually white, the rocks are pitched in between 0 and 180 degrees but I do agree about the scales. I know, I forget about the birds every single time

 

[Maestros]

The fog is actually white

Dude, darken it

 

[Deleted member 212788]

I think you're talking about the glows not the fog . Will play around with it when I have time again.

 

[Celaquil]

I feel like I've seen that eye-burning,
glow-abusing technique somewhere before.

Oh yeah! >.>

I'd recommend trying out this cloud model tinted to near invisibility
and experiment a lot with it, eventually it'll make you or break you.
- The result can be great.

Also, considering those boulders, for that is what they look like,
I'd also recommend you try re-designing their placements and scales
so they work better together, as to give the effect of them being
parts of a mountain, instead of large stones magically strickied to a hill.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Lol, I didn't see your terrain actually. I was just thinking about something to do in a short amount of time and this is the result. Thanks for the feedback btw, I will look into it the following days.

 

[Celaquil]

Yeah well, I guess it was more an attempt at being funny and humiliating myself, rather than being mad to think you copied my work.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Well, I really liked the comment actually. And I'm happy you're starting to approve of my terraining

 

[fladdermasken]

I guess what you should practice at this point is setting up terrain fog and spamming glow models.
