My First Terrain

LordHunter · Mar 20, 2008

Hi

I'm making a new cine, and i'm trying to make better terrain.
I need your advice on how to improve

1st pic 'ready to strike' Some warriors in the forest
2nd pic 'valliant defender' A warrior ready to defend his city
3rd pic 'paradise' A mysterious forest
4th pic : same as 3rd but changed camera angle
Edit: New pic! 5th: 'Throne'
Edit2: New pic 6th: 'beautiful Day'
Edit3: 7th: 'Sinful Past' Murder Scene
8th ' Burning Angel' Not really a terrain, but a scene from my cinematic that i though was cool

Check out my Cine (see my sig) to see similar terrains, with music, and battles ^^

Gilles · Mar 20, 2008

I like them all a lot. Reminds me of [Death]'s work. Very cinematic-like.

The last one isn't my favorite. I wouldn't use that camera angle for a screenshot.

Not a whole lot to say, except well done!

LordHunter · Mar 20, 2008

Hey thx I'm glad you think they're good

Oh it's very cinematic-like because well it is from a cine ^^

edit: i uploaded the 3rd pic with a normal view to see if ppl like that better

Tawsix · Mar 21, 2008

I like it a lot, but I agree that the last pic isn't as good as the others. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your cine.

LordHunter · Mar 21, 2008

Thx for the comments

You can see my first cine in my sig if you're interested (same style as in the terrains, but with music and fights ^^)

edit2: i'll add more screenshots as my new cine develops and thanks for the rep

The second one's awesome. The first one too, and the last two are great as well. +rep.

Velmarshal · Mar 21, 2008

:O
Just where can I get those doodads?
The terrain is just great.

LordHunter · Mar 21, 2008

Omg i had one of those nymphs (parrots) but he died month ago.

Parkietje · Mar 21, 2008

Oh, mine's 1 year old now. He's really cute, and can sing happy birthday :xxd:

The sun is slightly angled, but i doesn't seem too strange to me.
Btw, for the guy a guy that made some pretty 'special 'terrain you shouldn't really be talking about weird

Cute, mine could imitate vacum cleaner and cellphone.
And im not joking.

Yeah, but isn't this one supposed to be realistic^^

How many knights in shinning armour taking a pose next to a huge castle did you ever see in real life?
Since it's not realistic like in real life, then in my world the sun is slightly tilted

(in reality i agree that the sun is tilted in that pic, but it doesn't seem too awkward, i barely noticed it before you mentioned it - now all i can see is that >< )

HappyTauren · Mar 21, 2008

The 2nd one is the most awesome because it has my Plated Footman in it <3
Nah kidding, I really like the rays of light in that one, I like that "ambush" atmosphere in first one, and 3rd and 4th I didn't really like that much, but fog was well done. BUT STILL, very good work for a beginner! +REPZ

~Void~ · Mar 21, 2008

I have to say I love the first one the best

LordHunter · Mar 22, 2008

Thx for the positve feedback, i'm glad you enjoyed them

I added a new pic, is this one still good?

Also the forest pics seem to be the worse. What's wrong with them? How should i improve it?

ghenjis · Mar 22, 2008

They're very good. Most especially if they're your first. The only thing I'd say about the forest in my opinion is to get rid of the trees with the leaves that point upwards. I think they're ugly, personally.

~Void~ · Mar 22, 2008

The new one is uber smexy

But the spell breakers are too small in the back and they are just randomly placed :\ You should make them symmetrical like guards.

LordHunter · Mar 22, 2008

@ ghenjis:

in the cine the camera moves pretty fast so I didn't observe it at first, but you're absolutely right, the leave pointing upwards is fugly, i'll remove that.

@ void:
Actually the Spell breaker are symetrically placed all around the throne, but in the angle it makes it look as if it's not, maybe i should post that spot from another angle?

~Void~ · Mar 22, 2008

Make it look like they are symmetrical >.<

LordHunter · Mar 23, 2008

Yeah i'll try...

Btw i added a new pic. There was no fog that looked good, so instead i used the 'light from above' doodad. What do you guys think?

Parkietje · Mar 23, 2008

The last one looks cool^^. But terrains like that need really tiny details. And the lightning effects could be better.

LordHunter · Mar 23, 2008

Yeah i tried so hard getting the right light, but in the end i just gave up and uploaded the best looking one =/

frostwhisper · Mar 24, 2008

Wooosh, for your first terrains, these look great.
You seem to be quite skilled with camera angles.

Kaitech[SanD] · Mar 24, 2008

These can't be first terrain work xD

These are just WAY to awesome!!!

+rep!

LordHunter · Mar 24, 2008

Thank you very much for your comments, they really motivate me to continue my new cine

Edit: Added a new pic 7th 'Sinful Past' and 8th 'burning angel'
I'm not too sure how the last one turned out...

Belgarath · Mar 24, 2008

Nice burning angel and sinful past. They both look very much cinematic-like. I still can't believe you're beginning to terrain.
BTW, for the angled sun ... it wanted to see the fight

Hawkwing · Mar 27, 2008

Dude, don't listen to what anyone says.. For a cinematic these will look awsome!

Edit: Well listen to them, they have good advice. But your terrain will look awsome in a cinematic.

ghenjis · Mar 27, 2008

I watched the cinematic in your signature, LordHunter, and you've tremendously improved. I'm very impressed with your progress. I hope to see your cinematic soon.

Kaitech[SanD] · Mar 27, 2008

Oh jesus f***ing christ I love that burning angel!

Nindira · Mar 28, 2008

Wow, nice additions. The burning warrior rocks.

ike_ike · Mar 30, 2008

I wonder if General Frank is proud that his Angel gets a cameo?

I would be

All awesome terrains. I especially like Throne and Valiant Defender.

Oziris · Mar 30, 2008

Wow man these are great +rep!!!!

GF's models are in about 10% of all maps. As a map Mod, I wade through many maps, and GF and Elenai's elves are the most commonly used models.
