Gloomy City WIP's

[Parkietje]

Made for the terraining competition, but I don't think I will finish them in time... because I only have a little spare time. But I will finish it anayway

UPDATE: -removed first screenshot
-added more little doodads
- expanded Angel Plaza
- added an overview
- added a paint doodle to show my plans
UPDATE2: - expanded Angel Plaza
- Added first Armory WIP
- improved Maybloom Gate
UPDATE3: - added The Outdown (A district suffering from poverty that connects The Armory, Cathedral Gardens and Angel Plaza)
- updated overview
- expanded The Armory
PS: Yes, some textures are too stretched compared to others, I know this and I will try to fix it in time.
PPS: Soon I will add a map so you can better see the details I've been working on, as I don't want to post 200 different screenshots.

Some textures are too stretched compared to others (last pic), but this has potential.
Work on it.

 

[ghenjis]

Indeed. There is a lot of potential here. I'd just say scale up the buildings in the second shot.

We can easily see that you have lots of things to work on in that terrain (add small doodads, mainly).

It is very flat and some grassy dirt or rough dirt would fix well through the streets.

But the "Angel Plaza" is really cool! If I was you, I would add bushes at that place. I liked the idea.

 

[Parkietje]

Thanks for the sugestions, and yep I will use bushes in Angel Plaza.

Wow, nice job are you any good at land terraining?

 

[Parkietje]

I made one... but I've not really been into that yet

Oh, Well I may need a terrainer for my map if you are up to it.

 

[Parkietje]

^^ I'd like to help. I'm fully avalable in two weeks from now

 

[Ezikielth]

Two weeks eh? well can we continue this discussion on the map discussion thread, Id rather not spam yours

As far as your Terrain goes. It really looks great I like how you made a floor plan and everything will the entire building be pathable on the bottom floor?

 

[Parkietje]

I could make even make 3 or 4 stories into it... But my first conern is getting the base plan done.

 

[Ezikielth]

Hrm Compared to the average model, how big will the buildings be? Like 100 story skyscrapers is a 10 and disproportional WC3 buildings is a 1

 

[Parkietje]

Well, I can't make them too large, for it will stretch out the textures too much. So when making large buildings I have to compose them out of many smaller ones, which is difficult.

The minor buildings will varie from a 2 - 4.
The major buildings will be epic-sized, like with the Cathedral of Light, then think of something like this:

[Ezikielth]

Damn thats big lol.

 

[Parkietje]

Good thing I'm not afraid of a challenge^^.

The sucking part about this... I only have 5 of those cathedral-like models. So there will be very little variation. And to just ask people to make more is too much for just a terrain...

 

[ghenjis]

Are those little church things from WoW? The fact that you planned out your little terrain and that you mapped it own gets some huge brownie points from me. The terrain is coming along greatly, I look forward to seeing it finished.

 

[Parkietje]

Are those little church things from WoW?

Yup, I like to use much variation so I downloaded a crapload of models from some sites. The challenge is to make high and low ress stuff blend in together

Looks like the dementia wing in New Sheoth (oblivion). Really nice, and the names are very creative
