Inspiration Thread

[Deathcom3s]

This Thread is for posting Inspirations for terrains.

for example "An Elven Village" would be an inspiration. Just don't be too specific and provide a whole list of details you want to be included,just let them do their thing and see what they come up with.

All i ask is that you don't spam or flame others terrain in this thread. You can just post an inspiration instead of a terrain if you want.If someone posts their terrain and gives a new inspiration, post your terrain anyway, so that we can comment on it.

This will be the Inspiration for the next person: An Elven Village

 

[~Void~]

Hai you stole my idea from wc3c :O
I probably wasn't the first, though.

 

[Belgarath]

Elven village without lighting and one with. Next inspiration: Mountain forest.

 

[Gilles]

Are they small elves? The buildings look tiny. Good work though. The lighting one has weird lines in it. I'd try and fix that.

 

[Belgarath]

They're just elves, their buildings are magic and everything inside is huge
The lines are where one light crosses over another, only way to counter that is by making one big one, which would take out all highlights, so I just left it like that. Dunno how to fix it otherwise, except for sticking in a big doodad.

 

[<Offspring>]

Good enough?
( made in a few mins )

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Looks rushed. And i don't think thats a mountain, looks more like a hill ^^

 

[Deathcom3s]

Nice work Belgarath. Both look nice but the one with lighting has strange lines in it, I can't wait until I get my new PC in two weeks so tha I can try that lighting technique.

Offspring, I think he meant a forest ON a mountain, not several trees around a hill. Remember to take your time, don't rush your terrains, they'll turn out much nicer.

^ What he said!

Well here's my mountain forest screenshot. Hope you like!

 

[Deathcom3s]

Very nice void, one thing I notice with your terrains, you seem to find a tree model you like then you stick with that tree model for several terrains then you find another one and use that one.

Anyway, a new inspiration: An orc city or fortress, whichever you prefer.

Yes, right now I am loving that pine lol. Nice trunk model with roots and the leaves are just the right thickness.

 

[Ardnived]

where do you get all these tree models, I found one awhile back but when i tried to use it in Warcraft it looked nothing like the screenshot

 

[Belgarath]

A mountain forest, as in a forest on a mountain, not trees around a hill and not a path, but rather maybe a path winding up a mountain through trees.

 

[Deathcom3s]

Here's my mountain forest, how does it look?

 

[~Void~]

It looks good, but use lighting (doodad)

 

[Deathcom3s]

would you happen to know the name of the MDX file for the lighting doodad in the UTM?

 

[~Void~]

No, but the doodad is Light from Above (make it really big and angle it a bit)

 

[Deathcom3s]

Yeah I know the doodad name but I can't open the UTM so I have to extract all of the files using MPQ Master but I can't find an MDX in the imports section labeled as Light from Above. If you can find it for me i'd be very greatful. I think i'll pm dung and ask if he knows.



New inspiration: Treehouse

 

[~Void~]

I think I found it, it's LightCircle.mdx and LightCircle45g.mdx

 

[Belgarath]

Seriously, why didn't you just go to the Object editor and looked for it? Btw, tree houses are ghey D:

 

[~Void~]

Read his post (coming from me? lol). He said he can't open the UTM.

 

[Deathcom3s]

Thanks a ton void! I'd rep you but I can't rep you again yet.

@Belgarath: If you think they're ghey, don't do one, You can post your own inspiration if you want.

 

[Nudl9]

Inspiration: A city floating in the clouds (Heaven alike, wo0o0oo0)
or maybe to complex, so: an underground cave system which nerubian spiders use to get faster between places.

 

[FireMaster]

This is a good Mountain Forest?

 

[~Void~]

Firemaster, it's a little unrealistic but it's not too bad. Try to space out trees a bit more and put them all over the place. It is very rare that you will get a thick wall of trees going on either side of a path and then nothing after that.

 

[Nudl9]

Fireguy you should mix all those doodads you put on the map togheter, not put em in different sections, like one for rock, one for trees and one for grass

 

[TheSandWraith]

Man, I really need to get in on this action so here's that floating city you wanted (even though you changed it Void but I felt like doing this one instead.
Did it in about 45 mins.
Next inspiration: Canyons, deep canyons

 

[Belgarath]

Ummm ... your doodads are black, it completely ruins it.

 

[Deathcom3s]

'Bout time, I was gonna ask if you wanted to participate. Also, you can do any inspiration that was posted earlier.
About your terrain, I think nudl meant something like MadseNs floating city. The black doodad does ruin it.

@ Belgarath: We got accepted

 

[Belgarath]

Sorry, deathcom? Who are you talking to in that post, accepted to what? :S

 

[Deathcom3s]

Aren't you also terraining for Pyritie?

 

[TheSandWraith]

Yeah, I know there black. Its the color of the fog. I was gonna change it but I decided not to. Maybe I will later.

 

[~Void~]

Aren't you also terraining for Pyritie?

I tried out for that too, but I don't think she has read my post yet.

 

[Belgarath]

Pyritie's a guy, I think. But yeah, I am, working on it at the moment...

 

[Deathcom3s]

Pyritie saw your post void, go look.

 

[Ardnived]

I know this topic is somewhat dead, but I feel an urge to participate so here is a Canyon, not that good but one of the first terrains I've done so I feel its adequate

Next Inspiration: A Beach

 

[~Void~]

Yeah, it could be classified as a necro-post, but I think that this is a legitimate thread revival. So don't negrep him mods!!!

 

[Gilles]

You question my Moderating intelligence? I would never neg rep for this, I'm quite happy he did.

 

[crl]

ALL terrains are nearly empty

 

[Ardnived]

what?

 

[madman9800]

Small Orc Base

I read earlier in this post about a "orc city or fortress" I made this, but it turned out more like an Orc Base, however i think its close enough.

This terrain is for an RPG im making. The story about the base is, that a group of orcs settled an area of ashenvale, becase of some reason that i have not made yet...haha but i think the base look pretty nice.

BTW...this is defenatly a WIP and suggestions are welcome
BTW...again...this terrain is 100% playable, the bridge is walkable, and so are the stairs.

Ohh and next inspiration...A secret (kinda hidden) troll jungle camp?

 

[Gilles]

You were supposed to make a beach, but I guess doing an old one is okay.

Now the next one is a BEACH!

 

[Sabertooth]

DUM. DUDDA DUM.
Beach!

Next one is. . . .
Mushrooms
(I can think of a bunch of things involving mushrooms, so you can too >:O)

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Enough mushrooms. no?
And the next one is... Flower field!

 

[~Void~]

You question my Moderating intelligence? I would never neg rep for this, I'm quite happy he did.

I question everything! You should know that

 

[redscores]

I will do the flower field, in around 20 minutes or 30 it will be completed.

Completed, i hope its good .

Next thing will be a new meteor crater (means just newly a meteor impact happened there).

 

[Sabertooth]

Impact Crater. Meh, it looks horrible but it get's the thread active and moving.

Next one:
Forge

 

[~Void~]

I am going to make that one!!!

 

[Deathcom3s]

Holy crap, this thread is still alive? I'm surprised.

I'm going to start this on Wc3Creations.

~Deathcom3s

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Faster Void faster! I call the next one already D:
