I need tips for terraining

[kirbydude13]

Could you tell me what I could do to make this picture better?

Hmm.. the waterfall must be done better, try tint it the same as your water. Also grass doesn't grow underwater, change it to some kind of dirt. And all the growth is in the background make sure there is growth in the foreground too. You also need some fog.

But overal it looks quite nice, gl with improving.

And welcome the the Hive, hope to see for of your terrains.

okay thanks i was about to change the under water grass also the grass but
for the fog its suppose to be dusk of a summertime day where theses not much fog

 

[Parkietje]

Then use a not so thick fog, but always use fog, it adds to the beauty of the terrain.

Try make the fog same color as your sky.

 

[kirbydude13]

alright thanks this is also my first try at this so there will be problems

 

[Parkietje]

We all had these problems. Fog can be quite tricky, you need to know what fog fits what terrain and you need to know how to use the Z Start and Z End.

 

[kirbydude13]

alright so these are what i should follow
-USE FOG
-no under water grass
-dont olny make backround good
-blend in fog
-and never keep all land flat

l33t magical water! Make sure your terrains look realistic. The waterfall is sprouting from thin air! Add something behind (probably just raise ground, or rocks). Adding rocks in the waterfall always looks nice. And all that water from the fall, and the pond is only that deep and large? Huh?

Along with what else was said, I'd say get rid of the trees with the upwards pointing leaves. They look awkward and unrealistic, in my opinion.

Agreed. I have seen these used before, and I really don't like them. Not only do they look unrealistic, but they are ugly.
