My First Terrain Here - See It

[FireMaster]

I was with nothing to do now, then I made a terrain, see what is good and what I should improve.

You should do this to improve:

1) Train
2) See how "veterans" terrain
3) train

It works, belive me

Good things going on here:
The tileset goes well with the terrain.
Good use of fog.
Good use of the moonlight, its not overused like in so many others.
It's not flat, good height variation without going crazy.

Bad:
Background disappears into a flat line, maybe add a few hills or something just to break it up.
Be a little more consistent with your doodads, you have a bunch of rocks/bushes/flowers by the people but there's nothing behind them.
Smooth out the hills a little bit more.
Try out some custom doodads, especially for the trees/grass.
A couple of those trees look like their floating, select them and press ctrol+page up/down to change their height.

Overall not bad for a first terain and without any custom model help.

Btw this looks kinda... boring? Yes...
Do something special, make a bigass waterfall with a bridge or somewhat stuff.

It works, belive me

To add to that, to make sure he knows who the "veterans" are, check out the showcases of HappyTauren, [Death], MadseN, Craka_J and myself. Let me know if I've missed anyone.

In the bottom left corner, the terrain is... decent. But the rest, especially in the upper right hand corner, is very empty. Add more environmentals and trees there. And one of the hills there are a bit pointier than they should be, I'd recommend you fix that to be more smoother.

A couple of good points:
-You used a fog! For a "first terrain" it's not common.
-You used the raise tool, not blizzard cliffs.

A few bad points:
-Background looks like a salt desert. Add hills, or some structure. Maybe a castle using custom models.
-No tile variation. You need to use all the tiles at your disposal. Use grass, dark grass, and some grassy dirt. For your road, try using some grassy dirt around the edges here and there. That way it looks used, like the grass was trampled.
-Ugly trees. I have used them in my terrains, but Blizzard trees are ugly. I suggest using imports. Or just the Ultimate Terraining Map. UTM.
-People. Not always do people ruin terrain, but usually they do.
-Poor use of doodads. Not too bad, half decent, but you need even more doodads. And you could place them better.

Looks kind of good to me, but I'm a n00b when it comes to, well pretty much everything in the Blizzard world.
