Lord of the Rings RPG: The Shire

[cmilan]

I'm currently starting on my map with the region: The Shire.


Finally i got around to making the first part of the shire

The first two pictures are of bag end and another house below it.

Any Comments/Suggestions would be nice.


REMEMBER: WIP!

Updated the trees:

OMG dude !

i did this a long time ago. The Shire is such a beautiful place to depict with terrain.

I suggest you use the High Resolution terrain to make the terrain. The only problem your gonna have with making the Shire , is the Houses. Making the Hill houses are really hard to make look realistic.

but man i really wanna see these terrains =D i could never complete the map of my own but i hope u replicate really good. If u need pointers just ask me i can help u out alot ( *Cough check the showcase Cough *

Damn, I hoped for game screenshots, not movie. What's the point of thread "I'm gonna put screenshots in it, but not now"?

 

[DudeSpirit]

Well all i can say good luck, because i want to see a beautiful shire.

 

[Dr. House]

[BlackEnvyX]

interesting.

i suggest making those trees less abundant, and instead have the 1 "world tree" there instead of those small trees.

place some more clutter doodads around those rough edges around the door ( such as rocks or more grass and flowers.

 

[Belgarath]

More grass less leaves tiles and lumpy grass, it should be even, green stuff

 

[Dr. House]

it needs to look green not that kinda green but just good green. light green or how its sayed

Opps, here you guys go, hope you can see them now.

 

[Dr. House]

make the front of the hill different so that the windows look better cause right now thay look kinda weird.

 

[DudeSpirit]

IMO it's a bit too dark for me, Shire was always the happiest and brightest place of all.. Maybe it's the tileset or just the lighting..

 

[Dr. House]

its the sky and the tileset + the doodads he used evrything isnt bright so

 

[madcd]

ok i think you should use a different grass maybe try the high res one and for the buildings use a roof doodad to make the entrances flat and a little more detail for each one but otherwise its a really good start

 

[Belgarath]

- like i said the grass in the shire is more green ashenvale grass type rather than that the swamp trees dont fit imo use more generic + 'normal' trees
- doors are vertical

 

[cmilan]

Updated the:

-tiles
-trees
-sky

 

[Dr. House]

the last one looks way better than the others

 

[Celaquil]

You HAVE to make this terrain look more peaceful, by far. Firstly, you are using far too little doodads, and the doodads you used isnt fitting too well, especially the grass, look how it contrasts with the ground? Not good. You have to find some lighter grass, that goes better with the ground tiles, also you should add some fences or something to make it look more... inhabited. And those doors and windows are FAR to angled, you should try to find some way to make the place where the doors and windows are to be flatter walls, so that you can add the doors and windows on more vertically.

 

[cmilan]

Ok Keiji, i've changed the windows so they are more vertical, and the doors are actually pretty vertical.


For the Grass, can you suggest some? A link will do (i've removed the grass)


And for the fence, when i place it on a hill, a problem occurs, its horizontal and doesn't work with the hill, how do i change that?


Thanks for your comments

 

[Koeky]

the grass (doodad gras ) seems to dark.

And for the fence, when i place it on a hill, a problem occurs, its horizontal and doesn't work with the hill, how do i change that?

You need to make sure it has a pitch angle so that it will be flat on the ground and not trough the ground if you know what I mean. The pitch angle is the maximum amount it can slant.

Also, you use too many trees and grass, if you see the movie, there's a few trees and bushes but it's mostly flat. Also, you should add chimney's on the top of the hills.
