Misty Night

[Revolve]

Heya =D

Haven't terrained much lately, so thought I would do a High-res, my second high-res, actually. I have also used some doodads from UTM =)

It's a misty night, showing a forest and a little farm house. I have tested black and grey fog, which one do you think fits best?
Obviously it's an early WIP, but I spend quite some time on it, getting the misty effects and background right.

Tell me everything you think, C and C ftw =)

I see selection circle there.

The terrain is visually appealing enough, but it kinda just a bunch of semi-strategically placed hi-res doodads.

Mist doesn't look like that at night.

It really just makes everything really really blurry and hard to see.

True mist does not concetrate in small clouds, it's more spread out. You'd better use the standart War3 fog feature (which is NOT the weater effect), and maybe some highly-scaled "Eerie fog"s from UTM to add some clutches.

The problem is that when you scale eerie fog doodads to be really large it just fucks up the particles and makes them look really weird.

 

[Lexandritte]

No, it just spreads them all over the place. At something like 200-300 it's fine.

the eerie fog is to bright!
but it can't be helped i suppose

Thanks for feedback. About the mist, well, I don't know how I could fix it better, really. Lexandritte, you can't scale them up, it does turn into particles and fuck up. And spamming them just looks like white light =/

Personally I kind of like the look of the mist, even if it isn't that real. Btw, I used an Dome thingy in the background to get the fog right, don't know if I should keep the sky?
And I will work a bit more on the environment for next update, thanks

Bump. Not necro

I realised I really like this terrain, so I'd like some more advices to make it better Thanks for all comments so far though!

The mist may not look realistic, but it does look good. More like the mist coming off of water in the morning than land.
Because of that, though, I think the first terrain is better.
Needs more weeds though, to give it an eerie feeling.
I'd recommend the Sunken Ruins shrub.
