Lord_of_Sausage's Terrains

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 4, 2009

Hi all

I just started trying make some terrrains. I know they might look like others terrain, but thats the way im learning.

Enough talking. Here they are, give some constructive critism, or just rep xD

[Updated - 4 marts 09] - Two more screenies. Same picture, different time set.
Tried to do all of your suggestions (Better hills, Better fog, Not so bright, etc)

The sun seems to be cut off. The mountain blocking it is pretty much invisible. Also, the sun is over there but rays of light are coming from above.

It's simply too bright.

Why the hell does a guy who registered five freaking years ago and has 4 posts pops up and says something?

On the topic:
Well yea rays are above the sun, the trees look bad.

Lol on that. ^^

Anyway, I suggest you try using a darker fog so that the mountain gets visible which is the kinda main issue here. Also try adding more detail to your terrain. I can see some areas in the forest which are totally empty. If you make shadows there and add more doodads, like grass and rock it will look much better! : )

Also Keep trying out making cool lightning effects. I think that's the most funny thing about terraining!!

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 5, 2009

Thanks all, i will try to do what you say.

Arcany · Feb 5, 2009

It isn't too bright, it just doesn't look pretty. Those trees are ugly, they ruin it. Try to find a couple of different trees that fit nice togeter and fit with the rest of the terrain.
Try to create some depth in your terrain by scaling trees in the background smaller, and add some trees on the mountains, it looks ugly when cut off like that.
About the foreground, try to use plants and rocks better there, and use some good tile variation there.
About the lightning, you should try to make it look more like it's comming from the sun, I believe ~Void~ made a tutorial about how to do that.

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 5, 2009

Okay, im working on another terrain right now. I will do (or try to) what you say.

PS: I got an A+ today in school

Why the hell does a guy who registered 4 freaking years ago and has 1122 posts pops up and say something?

On the topic: It is nice, but it is difficult to see anything, the picture is too smal also

I never said anything like this, further more, this never was a flame. Now to tell you what is peculiar about the entire matter, that a guy, who registered when the site was opened, has four posts. I was wondering will he check this topic ever again and answer me. I just wanted to state that, I won't go anymore off topic, if you feel the need to write something more please PM me or visitor mesage. Thanks

zerker · Feb 6, 2009

I was surprised too when I tried to register and I was told that my email address was already in use.

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 6, 2009

This is getting kinda off-topic. Stay on it please.

BlinkforFear · Feb 9, 2009

did you use a bushes on the sides of the picture? cause if you did it was not the thing to use

P.S. how do you take screen shots like that?

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 9, 2009

Press V for game view, and in "Map Options" you can change the fog. Then just place your can how you want it (Hold Right mouse button, and move the mouse).

You may also go to Map preferences and change the sky, + you need a camera.

That mountain blocking the sun is a bit invisible.... And you should have more then 1 sort of trees.

Nudl9 · Feb 11, 2009

I demand that you make some more terrains!

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 11, 2009

You really made some post in my threads

okay, i will try make a new one, and a few extra

Handycombinder · Feb 11, 2009

The sun is sharp. And big. I will bring sunglasses there

Lord_of_sausage · Feb 12, 2009

hehe, you better take em off in my next terrain, because that one will become too dark xD

Handycombinder · Feb 12, 2009

Good, because i think i can find a pair of night googles on my roof

Lord_of_sausage · Mar 4, 2009

I've updated the main post. 2 new screenies. Please give some contructive critism about the new ones. I tried to do what you asked me to.

Does anyone have an idea for a better fog in Daytime? The one i find best is pretty much looking like butter

dummy its raising sun its not cut off :/

Mr.Wafflez · Mar 4, 2009

Hey for when your making trees try to set it to "Place Random Variation" it will make mass objects feel much more real, for example: not ten billion trees that are all exactly 10 feet tall "just a comment" =]

constellcreate · Mar 5, 2009

lol it's funny how the rays are not from the sun.

Overall:
you get the idea
But made careless mistakes

Lord_of_sausage · Mar 5, 2009

Yea, the ray from above is kinda fail, i know

The ray from above in the background is actually the sky

kinda lost inspiration. Anyone got an idea of what i could make? im eager for making more terrain, but my brain is dead

Mr.Wafflez · Mar 5, 2009

A fire scene u kno? lol like awesome volcanoe in background and then u have it ....eipc llol just a thought

Lord_of_sausage · Mar 6, 2009

Hmm, i think i could do that, thank you

Mr.Wafflez · Mar 6, 2009

uh lol ya.. Make it a volcanoe with fire cracks then make burnt of trees and dead bodies and the hellfire lord like YAAA I RULEZ DA VOLCANOES YAA .....then do whatever lol

Editing part-->Ya I am doing terrain too good luck with the fire scene I prefer graveyard scenes with zombies and things =]

Ancient World-GOD · Mar 7, 2009

i cant give too much comment but about the picture when sun is is not too good trees are not good,i cant give too much comment until comes beta.
