My first terrain

[Stormeye]

Here is my first terrain... feel free to notice me if I used too much something...

It is a movie shooting!

I would say you need to add a bit more tile variation, especially for the dirt part. Also I don't like the look of the trees. They look way to small, so I would increase the scale of them a bit, because they look way to small at the moment. Apart from that its good.

 

[Stormeye]

Thanks for all the advice. I will fix it later.

It's pretty good for a first terrain. But as most people usually say, don't use blizzard trees. They're ugly.

If you know how to import, please replace those trees with some better looking ones. And there's way too much cattail around the trees. Replace them with shrubs instead. And as Bob27 said, a little more tile variation.

Ya, I know not to use blizzard trees, but I can't find a very good model for the tree. So, I went for it. And also the terrain made in only 2 minutes.

I'll suggest you to see how the other guys do their terrain. And pay attention to these things:

1)The way they place the trees, doodads and units;
2)The fog;
3)The use of the heigh tool;

"Where did they found those models?!?" you may ask. Thery find those models at the Ultimate Terraining Map (UTM), and you can download it here.

Here are terrains you should take a look:

Nudl9's Samurai Assault terrain
Void's Forest Terrain
Hawkwing's terrain

I hope I helped!

I dont really get why everyone is hacking on blizzard trees. Sure sometimes they look terrible but sometimes they fit right in.

This is not such an occasion.

 

[Hawkwing]

Certainly they rarely fit but on some occasions they can be snuck into there. I would try to keep away from them, though, as much as possible. Use the Pine (Summer) doodad under Environment for a clean nice replacement for the Village Tree Wall or Lordaeron Summer Tree Wall.

Confusing!!! Too many colors for my taste. Everything clashes.

Ya, I'll try to fix the map later. Now I have another map to complete.
