My first terrain...

[Wolfe]

My first terrain... it looks ugly in my eyes and yours too, probably. But meh, practise makes perfect, right?

It depicts a village being raided by the Cursed - a group of Undead pirates led by the human exile Xaivor.

I think I may have screwed over the fog... it looks pixelated.o.o Oh well. Open for critisism.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Dont. Never. Ever. Use. GIF.

 

[Wolfe]

Hmm... yes, true... I may need to redo the screenies in not-GIF.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Not rly redo anything. Just take screens again. I dont think it would take for long. :/

 

[Wolfe]

Hmm... so retake screenies and make them .BLP?

 

[~Void~]

LOL no, retake the screenshots, crop out the world editor interface, and save them as JPG, and then upload the as attachments.

 

[Wolfe]

Okay... well, I have to go in a few minutes so I'll do what I can now.

Edit: Did it!

It's too crammed up.

Messy.

Make sure you have your warcraft 3 settings to the max.

Is it me, or is it the color settings of your computer?

 

[Wolfe]

Eh no... that would be a bad camera angle and the way my computer's colour freaks out to fog. >.> And it is mean't to be crammed up. I hate things being too open. Medieval towns weren't open. They were cramped in many aspects.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Lol i thought it were photoshop filters gone wrong.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Meh.

To generic.

 

[Deathcom3s]

Use custom doodads, try to use better camera angles, don't spam units, etc. I think it's all been mentioned.

But i've seen worse first terrains, so don't be too hard on yourself

First terrain?

Good - very good for a first.

Ships are a good size compared to units - they look like real ships.

Houses - uncertain, its difficult to tell or compare the size of units to the houses. A decent rule of thumb is to have your doors at least large enough for your middlin tall units to be able to walk through without crawling

Bottom image - discard the elf piers - use something like a modified dungeon table (without chairs) to create your waling decks - the horns embedded in the house looks bad.

Again, for a first terrain its not bad at all.
