House on a Hill

Behold! The most creative terrain title in all of mankind's history!
- And a new terrain.

You may want to listen to this in compliment to the terrain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDVRFSRjUgQ

Hope you like it

Now that, my friends, is how you build with pieces. I love it. Very creepy... and awesome

 

[PurgeandFire]

Whoa, I love the angle. Great job. Your doodad placement game is on point--it really draws the eyes towards the castle.

 

[Heinvers]

Scary spooky D;

[Wasabee]

Ohhh very creepy eii.

 

[Celaquil]

Thanks for all the nice words, people

Updated the terrain a tiny bit, added four small details.
- Let's see if you can find them.

First off, this piece has a great atmosphere!
The surrounding natural enviroment also looks spot on.

but the constuction of the mansion.. is somewhat dissapointing.
you have used alot of diffrent model sets to create the mansion,
and in this situation i think they dont really blend together well.

EDIT:
While writting this I noticed this all seems very nitpicky, but meh.. its my opinion.

The ogre_ arch foundation really clashes with the lime and plastered house.
and the lime clashes with the plastered walls on the lower floors.
The lime Arches look really oversized compare to the cobble and lime walls

Further more the lime walls looks really compressed (on the upper floors).
i think you should increase their size, at the least increase the Z.
the upperfloor window goes straight through a crossbeam.

The wooden pillars from tavalaj really look like they arent capable of supporting
the weight of all those lime arches and stones. i'dd suggest rotating a roofbeam (-1.00)
and use that instead.

and finaly the scaling of the square tower seems small and impractical. looks like
there is only room for a straight ladder up.

I find that surprisingly critical, and I don't agree at all. I'm sorry, I like my mansion.

Details.

Of course it does, it's further into the background than the rest of the mansion.
Everything is to scale, I made sure of that as I built the mansion in a 3D way,
like I nearly always do with structures.

Let me show you:

Cool shot. Very dramatic. Lighting seems to whitewash it a bit, but that might not be a bad thing.

Nice, looks like it could be Dracula's mansion or something.

 

[Dr Super Good]

So where do you fight Dracula? All castles that look like that usually have him in the tower.

 

[Sclammerz]

Sweet and at the same time creepy. Nice!

It isn't a castle, if anything, it's a mansion.

But if you look closely at the round tower, you'll notice something.

Oh, and, thanks for all the nice comments guys

 

[NightStalker]

This is awesome how did you even create this? Can I know what pieces you used for this mansion? :3

 

[Celaquil]

Ah, sorry for late response.

I mostly used Talavaj's models from this thread: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/terrain-board-267/stone-sword-terraining-mapping-resource-238310/

I also used a couple doodads from XGM.ru, I can't link you there because the site
contains a lot of rips, but if you add "/tag/models?&perpage=100" to what I mentioned
above, then maybe you'll find some good doodads

Save for that, it's just regular terraining stuff, cloud and glow doodads from the UTM.

 

[WhiteFang]

Amazing angle with great atmosphere

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I love the making-off picture of the mansion.
I wished more terrainers would show that, just because there's a lot to learn there in terms of basic construction.

I have to plead guilty for "stealing" some designs from terrain showcases here and there.
You guys are a great inspiration!

Seconded
Yeah, the terrain is way more interesting than the title leads one to believe.
Perhaps Im dreaming, but the whole piece seems to follow some sort of fixed axis; which is really cool.

 

[Gilles]

I think this is your best work tbh. At least from my awful memory.

I really like it. A lot.

10/10 would throw beer bottles off that deck. Every night. Endless fun.
