Fort

[Belgarath]

First terrain in a few months or so, I lost track, anyway, say it out and straight.

 

[raid1000]

cool here have a cookie

 

[Celaquil]

Nice terrain Belg. But I feel like if you go behind those mountian you gonna fall down and never come back <.< >.> Also, the fortress in itself needs a bit more detail I think. Right now it looks like something abandoned right after it got built or something..

 

[thegreatsmite]

i love how the rocks arnt round but the mountians seem to have little debth to them, maybe you need thicker fog. and the vegitation looks great and it well placed

 

[bounty hunter2]

The Fortress seems unreal, somewhat unnatural, It needs more shrubery around it.

 

[~Void~]

Pretty sweet, now give me that rock model :O

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Woooha... awssome, and that rock model, doodads, they're just matching perfectly, u're reallygood at this.

 

[Belgarath]

I do have to work on the fort itself, it's gonna have weeds on the walls and trees n shit. And people ofc.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Why not add a bridge where the opening of the fort is. I can't really see any path or road to the Fort.

I don't see why the fort is open, with no one at the gates.

 

[Restor]

nice


where is that rock model from?

 

[Belgarath]

It's from a thread in this very forum. And I'm really 0% sure if the maker wants it to go to everyone or not. I was quick.

Updated. Now there's people at the fort. And the bridge is there because it's based on a picture.

 

[thegreatsmite]

looks better, i still say thicker fog, and that magic sentry falg looks UGLY

 

[Belgarath]

Thicker fog, maybe, sentry flag, I agree

edit: updated

 

[Celaquil]

It still looks like behind thos mountians you will be "liek swallowed by teh blakkness!" ad some more depth to the mountian!

 

[Belgarath]

That's true... depth what the hell is that? As in, what would you suggest?

 

[Nbah]

I would suggest, making just barely seen peaks of mountains behind the first mountains. Otherwise, it's a kickass terrain.

 

[Belgarath]

I suppose I have time and space for that.

 

[thegreatsmite]

darken the footmen i guess, i feel they stan out too much, adn i think the scaling is a little off with them, look at the frigate, look at the footmen

 

[SILLYbear]

Looks good, except the rocks are a bit like crumpled paper and there doesn't seem to be anything behind the mountains.
Maps would be so much more interesting to play if they had real-like terrain like this.

 

[Naze]

About the background mountains:

They are closer than you wanted them to look like, here is why:

1) They are closer than you wanted them to look like because they are close enough to see the details, like trees and rocks.
2) They are closer than you wanted them to look like because you variated the mountain like if it was much farther. I mean, you did something like this:

/\___/\/\_______ _________/\
(example of far mountain)

you see mountains like that when they are really far from the camera. In the situation of your terrain, the mountain should be something like this:

______ _____________________
(Example of closer mountain that is less "peaky" due to the distance of the camera)

------

Thats all I can say for now... Very nice terrain though

 

[raid1000]

make teh fort walls highr or else the enemy can just jump in! :O

 

[thegreatsmite]

dont like the rain, looked much much better when it was sunny!

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Looks funny now, to many damn vines. The fort looks to precise, not much shadowing or variation I think.

Have the bridge connect the 2 rocky crops together? Thas the picture I had in my mind :/

 

[Belgarath]

I variated the mountain like I would a normal mountain D:. They're just all in a close space, which is why Im adding bigger peaks somewhere at the backish of the map.

 

[Celaquil]

Just for the hell if it, try using Fogged Sky instead of whatever sky your using. That way it makes the sky look a bit more, cloudy, since its raining. And It will help the mountians look a bit more realistic.

 

[Belgarath]

...that is fogged sky...

 

[Gilles]

I think the shrubs in the rocks are a bit large. It looks okay at a glance, but if you think about it, it starts to look worse.

As well, the vines on the castle are too perfect and straight. Try and make them look like they crept up the building naturally, not pruned.

 

[Naze]

I variated the mountain like I would a normal mountain D:. They're just all in a close space, which is why Im adding bigger peaks somewhere at the backish of the map.

Hmm... I got it...

But you could *cough* should *cough* also remove some of the peaks of the midground mountain, and add a mountain very far in the background, with the color of the fog... that's what I suggest.

 

[Oziris]

You need to add some raise terrain mountains, behind those mountains.

 

[Celaquil]

...that is fogged sky...

In that case.. Hmm.. Then I dont know, ofc the idea about mountians in the back of the mountians will give depth.. though, FIX!

The sky, I think, is acting odd for being fogged... <.< >.>

 

[raid1000]

use the stormsphere to corect the sky

 

[Belgarath]

Ew stormsphere
The sky is like that because the mountains are in a shape that the left is closer to the camera and the right further away. It had to do with the original concept >_>
BTW Gilles, what shrubs

 

[Gilles]

All the plants, I don't mean the doodad 'shrub', I meant all the stuff that's in the foreground rocks.

 

[Belgarath]

yes it does seem sort of big :O

maybe ill work on it once i stop melting D;
