Lost Temple. No Imports!

[Thrikodius]

A once so glorious temple, is doomed to forever sink into the tides of oblivion.
No Imports!!!

This is good work. But, if you add fog, it will look that much better. And if this is a playable terrain, then it is even better, but still, good work. Cant really point out anything else than the fog that is wrong, except, maybe the waterfall-river-thing should have some rocks on the sides of it, so it wouldnt look so... out of place. <.<

I see you have put a lot of effort to this terrain. "rep" for that.

But I think you spammed some doodads too much.

 

[Gilles]

Archway buildings are so last year.

I thought you give constructive criticsm mr. moderator, but I may be wrong.

Looks very good, + rep for the good work. Add fog and it will be perfect, very thin green maybe .

After a year of giving helpful criticism, I think I'm entitled to comments like that. Also it was constructive, I let him know that the arch buildings have been used too much.

Too many arches. I think it looks better when people try to make use of the other doodads that aren't arches or columns

However, for once in a long time, the rockspam actually looks decent!

You need more fog on your screens...

Actually, his fog is very realistic. There isn't always fog in everything, you know. Look outside your window on a sunny day and you won't see much fog!

Here is an example of realistic fog on a somewhat sunny day, I picked this image because it shows the fog at 3 levels, foreground, midground and background. Since his terrain in this is mainly foreground and a bit of midground, it all looks fine to me.

This is very true, but you could argue that with wc3, fog and over the top lighting just looks better. It Even makes the models look better by hiding the poor textures.

Archway buildings are a very old style... please... use creative models when making in-game terrains.

 

[~Void~]

Everyone does archways at first, even I did, like a month ago

 

[Thrikodius]

Well thanks for the comments everybody. I'll keep them all in mind. Allthough I'd like to point out the words I mentioned twice... No Imports. What more than archways would you suggest that I use when I don't use imports?

 

[Gausslander]

Be creative, walls, for instance. You can use archways for roofs, if you must.

 

[Naze]

Yes Void you're right. The fog is ok. I think that I was thinking about something like background, or depth, but I wrote fog... Anyway, don't consider what I said, Thrikodius!

@Gilles: You're right too, sometimes I use fog to hide shitty skins, but I don't think it may apply for this case.

 

[~Void~]

\Naze, I think you meant lighting. Which everyone loves

@Gilles, I agree with you, it makes it look really epic and more like a painting, but I just like being a terrain nazi

 

[Thrikodius]

Well I tried to be creative and made it look like the entire temple was built out of the rocks. And I covered up the sides of the waterfall in pic 2 with rocks.

 

[Hawkwing]

It's really spammy and repetitive. Also, the fog is really weak, make it stronger.
