Ken Christopher Newbie Terrain Making

Hi,

Posted on 12th Jan 2019

Im on my first terrain with the basics in World Editor. Any feedback I will accept to improve my skills.
It was hard for me to make it for the first time, took about 3 hours to make only 40x40 size of the terrain which shown below

My another terrain practice - Black Citadel Tiles

what's inspire you to combine red tileset with green trees tho. i personally found it not fitting.

:/ Im sorry. Just a random mixing of the terrain.

 

[Ken Christopher]

no need to sorry. personally i would stick to outland doodad type. maybe some dungeon too.

I se...I found out that the original tilesets are hard to make combination. So I need to try to make few sets and get used to it first

If I may, I respectfully disagree. I thought the use of felwood trees with the outland/Black Citadel tileset was quite interesting. I think these terrains are quite nice, at least for a total beginner. One thing I would suggest is to use the height tool more, particularly to disguise the horizon a bit more, maybe in conjunction with terrain fog. Keep at it, and don't be afraid to try out new or unusal things, it might not always work, but sometimes it will. Good work

Thank you for your advice Yea at first I was thought that it is very nice when making the terrain, that's why I posted it up here . But back then, when I reopen and see....it felt awkward and mismatched. Kinda ruined on the environment. So...I just discontinue with it and came up with a new one yesterday, still in WIP with Sunken Ruin tileset. Much more better.

Thank you for your suggestion, Alright, I will try to look at it.

Was created this terrain on 15th Jan 2019. Hope that I have improvement.
I quite like the sky and the terrain I had created

yes,definitely have improved.Keep at it,you're definitely getting better.Just some really 'sharp' raised points in the terrain,if i recall correctly its from the noise tool.Good example is in the 2nd one,in front of the crab
I do like the lighting especially

Thank you very much. Yea, Im still improving this terrain and trying to import all the external textures inside to make it more beautiful.

I think you have to use smaller amounts on the sunlights and bigger amounts on the details such as the grass and the rocks. Higher cliffs would be great to close the far clip on your terrain.

Its a good progress for starters! And also your terrain would be good for the original Warcraft tho

Keep practicing! Needs some smoothing and transitioning points but all in all good start! Always nice to see new mixtures and creativity, just keep on working and things turn out wonderful usually. Just keep in mind things take time never rush art.
