Felwood lake... my first try

[NazGulZation]

Hi.. iam new comer here... and this is my first try of terraining.. some suggestions and improvement will be acceptable....

 

[Dr. House]

Try to add som small rocks in the waterfall and maybe use a different fog the way it looks now doesn't make me happy. Also try to add som criters to bring som live in the terrain. And maybe som plants and stuff near the lake?

 

[Cihparg]

Just... Too aggressive fog.
Tint it darker and fade it a little bit out.

It's missing a sky, aswell!
Try Foggy Style, or pick a model with sky. (Game Interface is the place for them)
If you go along with a model sky, you will need good experience with object editor, to find the correct ones.

You can ask me for some paths, if you wish to.

PS: Moonlight's may not be a good idea in this terrain, but we'll see if you can make them fit. =)
PSS: Since when there were roots/vines in acidic water?

 

[NazGulZation]

Well... i didn't find any critters that fit in this place..... and it should be a silent lake/secret lake/something like that where there are no critters around it... and i replace the ray of moonlight to green fog (light), and adding the rocks in the middle of the waterfall will just make it ugly.......

 

[Cihparg]

Looks alot better now.

 

[xXMegagunXx]

looks cool^^ but the fog is to strong

 

[NazGulZation]

thanks....

 

[Cihparg]

Sorry, but I can't think now what it is missing.

 

[NazGulZation]

So.. take my terrains looks perfect yes?

 

[Cihparg]

Fix floating stuff and tint the water a little, brighter/darker - look which is best.

 

[Racziel]

not bad, but i would suggest to delete some tree's. It looks more like a wall than a forest.

 

[NazGulZation]

LOL... but i think that is what forest looks like...

 

[Solaris]

You are right, but a forest also got glades and free spots, where the sun hits the ground.I think what was suggested is a certain depth created through decent set trees.

 

[Aziex]

Agree with Solaris and Racziel, tree walls generally look odd. However the wc3 trees are pretty awful and I think you've done a good job with the ones available. As a no imports terrain it works well.

To further improve it maybe use UTM (ultimate terraining map ) trees and sunken ruins rocks (lowered into the ground quite heavily). Oh, and maaaaybe a satyr as a focal point. Because felwood = satyr and they have an idle animation where they look like they are drinking from a pool, if you position it well and capture that animation it may add something to the terrain

 

[Dr. House]

..this sounds so much like Keiji but ye just use custom models? xD besides that i still must say use small rocks cause it would make it look more realistic imo. And make som life in it like i sayed before it doesn't have to be critters just a unit or somthing. Right now the terrain is not intresting enough but maybe thats just me.

 

[NazGulZation]

Thanks guys for the improvement/suggestions (+rep), i learned a bit of terraining, this some changes i made so far....

 

[Dr. House]

Ehm ye i see a bit inprovement yet i also see 2 rocks/pillars i dont remember what they are called flooting at that waterfall and try to do somthing with those trees or make somthing intresting behind them.
