My first Terrain EVER! :)

[The-Weeh.]

Hey dudes.. Hopefully ... U wont think this terrain is ugly xD
Comments would be nice.
Totally remaked..

 

[redscores]

Smooth the waterfall a bit at the sides, and maybe add stones in the waterfall, so it looks more real, because in waterfalls are sometimes stones, like in a wild water. And maybe add some fishes and such

 

[The-Weeh.]

Oh
Im glad to hear suggestions.. Thank you.. xD

 

[Parkietje]

Well, since you only used blizz stuff. Download the UTM, try again and i'll comment you.

And some tips, a waterfall doesn't starts there. And go to Scenario>Options and add fog

UTM:http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45316

And just don't use Lordaeron Summer as a tileset, it's plain ugly. And add tile variation.
And I can see the end of your map, try to avoid that

 

[The-Weeh.]

Dude .. U aren't smart cause i used UTM (Light from above, Fog (edit in world editor)) AND u can only speak for ur self when you say Lordaeron Summer tileset is ugly... U are a bit to aggresive for me. .. . .

 

[The-Weeh.]

But anyway... xD Hmm Options>Add fog .. . Can u tell me some more informations about that .. (Tutorial links etc.)

Ah sorry, didn't see that. And i'm not aggressive, just some critique.
And about the fog thing.... not mucht to tell, just experiment with the Z start, Z end, density and colors.

Also if you ask any experienced terrainer he'll probably say Lordaeron Summ. looks ugly.

Here I quickly made this in 2 mins

Try to avoid blizzard trees, use more enviromental doodads. And mainly avoid using Lordaeron tilesets. Also tile variation is very important.

I know my screen looks screwed up, but it's just made as a quick example to make a terrain more appealing.

Also I advice you to study ~Void~ 's terrain showcase he makes beatiful vacant terrains.

 

[The-Weeh.]

I know.. Im just a little.. hmm.. proud of my terrain, because its my first..

 

[Parkietje]

Then go out, improve it, and farm some +rep

 

[~Void~]

The fog is messed up, you might want to fix it. Also, why does everyone put a line of massed shrubs around their waterfalls? Mix it up a bit, so you have lots of shrubs everywhere, or at least thin out gradually. It'll make it look more natural.

Also, the sun looks like it's perched on top of that little rocky outcrop.

Thanks? xD

Lordaeron summer is not a good tileset.
The waterfal could have been put better.You said you used the UTM,why don't you used any of its trees and used normal Wc3 ones?

It's a pretty average terrain but it's your first.Try more next time!

 

[Belgarath]

My god, get over yourself ... any tileset is good. Seriously, stop just using one damn tileset - maybe two or three if we're lucky. It's good that someone uses this tileset. And here's a 5 minute picture - using blizzard doodads and Lordaeron summer.
Blizzard tilesets and doodads are NOT bad ... you're just so used to making terrains with custom ones you can't even use normal ones ...
And Parkietje, I'm 99% sure that terrain took you longer than 2 minutes, or you had parts already done. A fog takes 2 minutes at least. Don't try to intimidate people like that.

Now, it's a nice enough picture but lacking environment and tile variation. You should add rocks into the water and maybe realistically size your hills / trees.

That's not true. I've used lordaeron summer in so many good terrains, and if not that, then lordaeron fall (look at my Undead Temple thing, that's lordaeron fall)

Same with Blizzard cliffs, if you use them right, they can really add to the effect, for example, placing them in front of the camera going down with some rock doodads on top makes it look like there actually is a CLIFF there and not just a little rocky drop.

 

[The-Weeh.]

Hey guys ... I love you! xD
I think the Lordaeron Summer tileset is beatiful.. xD
People who says there meaning as a global thing is stupid.. .

It just took 2 mins... that's just a fog to throw in... 10 secs of work. And saying 4 minutes would be realistic then???, and why would i intimidate anyone... just trying to help out.

And blizzard trees don't even look like normal trees anymore, so why can't I say they look bad?

 

[Belgarath]

Well here's something new: they look like real trees. Sure, they may not be the best to look at from the side, but still, if you put a shrub or something in them they look real.
As for blizzard cliffs, Blizzard used them amazingly, TBH. In one of the 8 player maps, it's an island one, they made them nearly level with the ground, then raised them up high. Blizzard terrainers are masters of the height tool.

Treu, in fact i've never had something against blizzard cliffs realy. Just nearly impossible to make a realistic terrain with. But, the blizzard trees are just....... the ugliest trees I've ever seen. Really the trees from Mario Bross. 2 look better to me

 

[The-Weeh.]

Hey dude?? Tell me? Why would Blizzard use ugly trees for there game??? And why did it become the game of the year if there trees were unrealistic?? Tell me?

 

[Parkietje]

First, it's a strategy game. It's not supposed to be most realistic down to every pixel. Second, they started working on it around 2000. And trees in strategy games aren't given the full priority and they are looked upon from above, they needed trees to fill it up for lumber, so they made ''trees'' nothing more.

 

[The-Weeh.]

How do you know dude?? .. . . The made the game camera so u can flip it to make it look realistic.. U can totally see the details?

 

[Parkietje]

Let's just end this discussion. My opinion = they look ugly wugly.

 

[The-Weeh.]

I think its a good idea You do not mean it bad xD
