Oblivions_Wrath's Terrain Showcase

[Oblivions_Wrath]

This is going to be where I'm posting all my terrain pictures etc. Here is the first one I have;

Pond in a Crater


A House


Mountain Path(Pic 3 kinda messed up)


Island Terrain An AoS I was working on, but didn't finish.


Barren Valley


Underwater

I like the third one most

Handy Tip: Never start making a terrain for showcase purposes in the corners of the map or near the edges. Work from the middle and expand the terrain more and more. Taking screenshots of corners of the terrain is bad. Instead, maybe try taking screenshots FROM the corners to block out the corners/ends of the map.

Handy Tip Pt.2: Before you take a screenshot, it will look much nicer if you do the following:
If the fog is not showing, press F.
Never take screenshots with an in-game camera!
Press B if you see an annoying blue line on the World Editor's terrain by the edges of the map. This will make it disapear.
Press K to show the sky. If you want the fog to apply to the sky best, sometimes setting the sky to "Blizzard" or "Fogged" is best.
To expand or decrease the camera's Field of View, hold down Control and Scroll Up or Down.

Thanks, guess you see the little raccoon in the corner, it was an accident too

I also like the third one, although the the transition between sky and ground is a little sudden and sharp and looks weird :S Maybe the sky is a little bright for the setting aswell? Overall they are nice though

 

[Oblivions_Wrath]

That's probably my fault for doing it near the edge of the map, it's supposed to be on a cliff of some sort

I only like the third one, but that one actually looks really great.

I also like the third one...

The second screen is uh a inhouse shot, most inhouse shots are boring because people never use something different.

The first one is not bad but there is so much green.

About the third one, change the sky, and i realy dont like these small rocks that appear when you place a rock doodad. You should lower them so you dont see these small rocks.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I like the sky, it looks like this is on the edge of a cliff.

3 New pictures of a mountain path!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Again, the third one is the best, imo. Though nothing all that special, the trees kinda ruins it, they look ugly, you should get some retextured or some other trees.

 

[Jirinal]

Those dont look bad, but i think the hills are to steep.
Also the Texture combination looks somekind boring... Still not bad.

 

[HermanTheGibbon]

Ya, more and wider tile variation is in order me thinks, just add some grassy dirt and such to make things a little smoother. Also try a more natural approach to the actual path, rough dirt or something may look nicer than cobble path, and there is a nasty straight line between grass and rock in teh bottom left of pic 2! Also the village lamp posts may fit in a little better with the setting? Your actual structure is quite nice though, and I like the little alcove with the bench, that is rather quaint lol

 

[Oblivions_Wrath]

Added 5 new pics, some without custom doodads, and some with custom doodads.

 

[Craka_J]

Nice work on the Barrens. But the fog takes away that dry feeling. Change the color to Orange and customize it more to make it look brown or tan. Should help alot.

 

[Oblivions_Wrath]

Added underwater pictures.

 

[Supermj]

I like the underwater ones, how was this accomplished?

 

[Jirinal]

Underwater style isnt hard... you need a heavy distance fog in blue.
Then you can place a waterplane doodad from the ultimate terraining map above the map and voila its done.
Now the only thing you need is some creativity.

 

[Supermj]

I can't open the ultimate terraining map. Is there any other way to access that water plane doodads?
