How do you Terrain?

[Cihparg]

Okay guys, it's come up to this.
I'm requesting all of the terrainers in hive to tell about their...

---

Favourite Tileset

It can be Ashenvale for examble.

---

Favourite Tileset Modify

Well, Rough Dirt at first slot, Ruins Brick at second and third Abyss.

---

Favourite Tileset Use

The way you place them? Rought Dirt as bottom, Abyss over Rough Dirt and Ruins Brick over them all?

---

Favourite Tileset Models

Examble, my favourite is Summer Tree Wall with Barrens Tree Texture.

---

Favourite Tileset Icons

If you are terraining for a map, which icons do you prefer for your terrain?

---

Favourite Tileset Skins / Textures

You don't like so much the originals, you mix them up with some already existant ones, to create a unique model/tile!

---

Custom Models

You don't like the original models, replace them with some high-poly ones?
Game rip-offs? Self made models? Something just to replace old ones!

---

Custom Icons

Oh look at those Diablo 3 Icons, they fit perfectly my Chaotic Desert Terrained Map!

---

Custom Skins / Textures

Damn, these high definition tile textures and skins over stuff are extremely nice!

---

Custom Modify

I just felt like the ground didn't create walls, so I got this MiscData.ui!

---

So, you got the basic idea!
If you want to share your files, pack them in a zip and upload to hive!
( I suggest also compressing them )

Well, post stuff about you and you might just help other people to terrain!
( Oh gawd, it sounds like i'm requesting help )

[Megafyr]

I try avoid using tiles because they're so goddamn ugly. Please stick to what looks good --> Models.

 

[Cihparg]

Well, thats true. Alpha Tile + Models = Win.
Altrough, if you want a dark-scheme then I suggest just using Abyss + Models.

As there's some confusing stuff for people, let meh explain.

Custom Modify; Well, as the World Editor is missing functions for Terrain Heights, Many Tiles ( ex: over 27 ) & stuff.

Custom Icons; Well, if you are working for a examble lets see... Dungeonish Theme, and you add bright images, a Pink Unicorn with lots of flowers, would that fit at all? I believe it wouldn't. A dark themed icons would fit so much better, examble:

Favourite Terrain Models; You usually use models from a different tileset, examble: Ashenvale Tree over Summer Tree.

Ontopic: You could use a unique format for your reply, and not just copy the main format which I used. And if there's something you don't want to answer, or don't know how to answer, let it be then, easy as that.

Thats the kind of comments we dont like to see on the Terrain Board, rude behavior and oppinions.
This thread is perfectly at home here, and have an interesting twist to it, could make for some interesting reads.


I'm going to make my statement about how I terrain sometime later, dont got the time now though.

it wasn't ment to be rude sorry if you feel that way it just felt like imo that it didnt belong here and it whas kinda useless anyway to get on topic.

Finally know what my favorite tileset is: its the one and only village dirt xD

@ Offgraphic: feel like making a terrain together?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

id have to say that i enjoy :

-No tilesets-

i like to use

-High resolution models(especially trees)
my favorite model would have to be the beech tree from high rez pack.

i like to make terrains that are simple. I really like making silouhette terrains, since i feel it is the best way to get rid of ugly texture >.<

and ya for the most part, my pet peeve is bad atmosphere. all terrains should have a decently goood atmosphere to complement the terrain. I usually tend to focus on nothing but the atmostphere.

This pic explains it all.

Picxzzzzzzz

What is that... A mutation of Tilesets, Low-Res Models, Medium-Res Models and High-Res models ?!
