[Celaquil]

Of course I remember you Debode ^^
You never finished the Caller!

And thanks for the comments.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Is picture 17 even real Thats FUCKING EPIC MAN!!!!

 

[Celaquil]

Ha! Yes, yes that picture is real. And it isnt that hard to make, rreally. You just make the black fog cover the entire map and place Fog doodads behind the mountains, I do feel like I've said this before however >.>

 

[Celaquil]

Well. Updated this dusty little showcase a bit

Added three more screenshot,
nothing new but someone might not have seen all of them

 

[Sephalo]

I like the Morgen-Kammer one alot.
I would rate that with a 9/10 because.. dunno, something attracts me to it. I really like it. Only thing it misses might be a littlebit of river rushes or shrubs.. maybe just 1 or 2 in the front.. a liiiiiiiiiiiiiittlebit vegetation But apart from that 9/10 is pretty high;-)

 

[Dr. House]

i love almost evryone of them but there is 1 i dont like its the encampment. anyway nice job my favorite is the vrak.

 

[Phoonix]

ve your terrains. +rep for the awesome work. keep it working and

 

[Brombie]

The terrains are great and you've got a real original creative quality to be proud of!
Howerver, I'm wondering what those trees in the bakground of the fourth picture (The facepalm).

Thanks in advance!

 

[Celaquil]

Thats World of Warcraft trees.

 

[Celaquil]

Hark, my final update to this thread have been made.

- Read the main post to see whats happened.

 

[Oziris]

That's a great decision you made there and you should be proud of yourself. We'll all miss you and I wish you the best in becoming a writer. Thanks for being with us, you helped us a lot with terraining and you've been a great Moderator. Again, best wishes from me.

Good bye.
I hope I manage to do something like this some day in the future. but I'm not shure if I manage to do this. Have a good time out there
(awsome terrains btw. )

 

[fladdermasken]

You were a great source of inspiration, I can't imagine what this site will be like without you. I think we all relate to what you described, as slaves under the machines, haha.
Thank you for everything, and may your life prosper Great Keiji.

[Azurot]

Good luck with your writing. You were indeed a great inspiration to all terrainers.

 

[M0rbid]

I wish you the best of luck. I believe that you can really push your dream so it comes through. I read the works you send me and I could see the potential in it. It's a strong and tough decision. I wish you a good future.

Opening it.

 

[Celaquil]

Updated with some new additions, that of my latest works:

- War of Wits.
- Skull.
- The Waste.

 

[fladdermasken]

Great, but I have a few concerns. Firstly, you missed a spot; here, and here. I do realise the latter is playable, but just separate it from the others. Secondly,

Who the hell is this jackass and what is he doing in your thread?

 

[N.Knight]

Best of luck friend. The knight will be always at your service whenever you need him.
Whatever you do in your life, always be true to yourself and always remain the 'Gentleman Bastard' I've come to adore soo much!

 

[Celaquil]

Your making the mistake of thinking I am leaving, which was long ago.
- Apparently, I failed.

Who the hell is this jackass, and what are you doing in my thread?

 

[Heinvers]

I was beginning to wonder when you'd update this

I like Mare Mondus and the Lost Omen a lot.

 

[fladdermasken]

Oh god, no! Not the [hidden] tags!

 

[Celaquil]

Since I am an attention whore and since I have nothing new forthcoming,
I thought I'd take the time to say that I've updated this thread with my two
latest terrains.

Love them.

 

[fladdermasken]

Love them.

I will if you make them thumbnails!

 

[Celaquil]

It can't be that bad.

 

[Nordmar]

can we have access to map file? it looks amazing

 

[Celaquil]

Like a magician, I don't usually show my maps.
- Or was that tricks?

Anyway, thanks.

Was there maybe something in particular you wanted to know? Or you could ask for a
specific map and then I'll consider sharing it.

 

[Nordmar]

Hm, can you maybe give me some advice on how to make a beautiful terrain like this with warcraft 3 resources only. I am making maps for over 7 years already but this terrain..is..mindblowing.

I would like to make a terrain for my current RPG in wc3 style but it should look..quaint is the right word I think. Almost cute? In a way like this: https://schwingeninswitzerland.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/dsc_0013.jpg

 

[Celaquil]

Gods no, this is why we have tutorials.

It'd take me forever to explain every little detail of what makes a good scenic terrain,
however, if you start working on it and post your WIPs here in the Terrain Board, then
I and others will more than likely give you advice on the go.

I would like to make a terrain for my current RPG in wc3 style but it should look..quaint is the right word I think.

For this and for parts of the previous quote I'd like to refer to myself.

Basically, making a good looking scenic terrains using no imports is hard even for
the best terrainers, there are some few doodads that are mandatory in order to make
a scenic terrain, like the "Glow" doodad from the UTM for lighting, and other detail
oriented doodads. And, as I stated in the cinematic contest, it is 100% possible to
make warcraft-looking terrains with decent looking imports, your terrain don't need
to look like shit just to look like warcraft, so to speak.

Oh, and, if you intend to be extremely difficult: There are loads of doodads in the UTM
that are very old and retain this so-called "wc3 look" that you're after, which will still
make it better looking than a no-import terrain would be.

 

[StarGreen]

I cant even believe this is warcraft, this is incredible.

 

[Celaquil]

Updatorama, redid the main post.

I think fladder'll be happy now

Also, compliments for the idea for this set-up to: frostwhisper.

And thanks, StarGreen, I can assert you, though, they are.

Thanks, by advice I really just meant advice..like 1-2 tips. I did not expect from you to write a tutorial But you did that with your post, so thanks for that. I will check some important custom models out even tho I prefer to import as less as possible. Keep the good work up and +rep

 

[Warseeker]

Who teach you terraining, Keiji ?

 

[Celaquil]

Tutorials, experimentation and posting terrains to get critique.
Basically, most terraining skills come from hours and hours spent alone
fooling around with the editor, and then aesthetic aspects come from getting
comments on what you post, while techniques are learned from tutorials.
- So in short: Basically everyone and nobody.
