It is suppose to be a loading screen for a map "Shadows of Everwood" I'm doing with with my team.
-Feedback is welcomed and needed. Thanks.

-Fixed the grass on the left.
-Added more depth.
-Added trees to make it feel less empty.

*Update*
-Added grass on rocks.
-Tinted the river rushes.
-Delete the flames.
-Made glows bigger.

*Update*
-Fixed the over-sized tree from the last updated version (I really don't know how it got so big).

improve the grasses on the left side, make it look somewhat more appealing. the current model is just bad. also try using lights other than white and 'suspending' them far above the groups, it lights them really effectively, the effect is far cooler.

I actually like the grass but I hate the lava.

Ideas how to make the lava better?

 

[Aziex]

I like the army a lot, how you only illuminated parts of it really works well, and contrasts to the lava in front of them

Isn't there a really good tutorial on lava, I think the main thing is add a orange/yellow coloured glow above it and sink the lava slightly around edges.

Grass could be made shorter/darker, but I think it looks fine anyway

Sure here is a tutorial it pretty eazy to understand well at least for me it is and if you still don't understand Ill explain in detail. - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/how-make-good-looking-lava-we-157800/

Hah! It's so funny to see that my tutorial linked all around <3 thank you all.

Well, I guess orange glow doodads should do the trick there.

The lava looks perfect, so I dont get why people complain about that >.> And I agree with Belg, the grass needs a little rework. But dont remove the current grass model completely, just make it LESS spammy and have some other... plants, as well.

I'd try to work a little on making the background seem more in depth also, I mean, it isnt the end of the world, but it could have a little more depth.

 

[Belgarath]

the lava's all good

 

[elredir]

really like the whole army thing...and the lava is just fine
what i dont like is the background,as keiji said,add more depth to it and i dont like that redish light/fog,maybe make an orangeish-red or something,but thats just a personal opinion...if you like it that way dont change it
great terrain overall

 

[Dr. House]

hmm im not so happy about the left side of the terrain try to replace it with som hills and emtyness cause for me it feels like that grass totally doesn't fit. Besides that i like it

suggestions :
-Get rid of those uprising flames on the lava all together.
- Fix those fogs so that its not as obvious that they are fog doodads ( make them bigger)
- i like the grass. but it looks really square with those rocks. perhaps tilt some grass and make some grass stick out the rocks or just get rid of some of the grass so that its in patches.

other then that i think its FREAKEN AWSOME, great work bro

Updated it again! I think it looks better then the last one.
-Added grass on rocks.
-Tinted the river rushes.
-Delete the flames.
-Made glows bigger.

Updated again because of the trees.
