Opinion

[The_wand_mirror]

Just give a look at the terrain and say what u like,dont like,your opinion in every way .. i cannot SET a sky because its made in WEU ..

 

[Xarwin]

Looks pretty neat.
For what is it anyway?
And why the hell do you use WEU? Sucks like hell!

 

[The_wand_mirror]

It is for 'i dont say'
And i use WEU because of the 480 size xD

 

[iristle]

Don't use WEU, just use WE.
But overall, its pretty good, but the buildings look a bit sunk into the ground, maybe raise them a bit?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

The buildings (for those wo dont know) are not custom but hidden WE models,if i raise them they dont have any thing undernearth they are already at the highest stance ..

 

[Avatar-Conan]

damn now thats what i call some serious terraining. how long did it take you to make that?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Mh i dont know how long i did about it,because i was also adding buildings to the maps and some small triggers .. but this terrain didnt take to much time to create ..

Also a new attached screenshot,also you can see i use WEU because i want to create those cliffs you see on the screenshot. (still its sad i cant add a sky it would be so much nicer presentation )

Increase the size of the houses and after it, use "page up and down" to focus them, you know what I mean ?

And I do not want to live that near to a cliff

I use WEU and I can set sky...

Yes i know what u mean with the page up page down,and also the you are ment to enter and leave the houses at the other side not the cliff side lol

I use WEU and I can set sky...

Can you also set sky when u have a 480x480 map?

 

[Jirinal]

I realy dont know why people dont like it when u use the weu without advance things, u can still open the maps then. And why you cant set a Sky? I work with weu too because iam a lazy bitch and want the 90° cliffs without a txt change^^

But anyway back to the screens...

The first 4 Screens looks good for the start, but there are some things missing and wrong.
First the Houses are embedded in the ground, you should use the plateau tool beneath the houses.

2. You need some people in the Village it looks so empty...

3. There is a wall IN a house on screen 4!

4. When u use lanterns, then add some more not only 1^^

5. Make more use of the smooth tool.

6. On screen 3 use a wall end for the wall, it looks weird...

7. I dont realy like these big rocks near the houses, they look to big maybe size them smaller.

8. There are no garden for the houses?^^

9. You could add some working building like a hunter hut or a sawmill...

Ok i think iam done, still good work on that you can improve~

Wait i see another screen!

Dear god NO! what did you do with those cliffs, that looks horrible!
Now i knew why people disliked 90° cliffs^^
Never use raw 90° cliffs when you make something not icy.
U need a slight use of the Smooth tool, not too much just a little, and add a second texture then, never use only one when you do a 90° cliff.
Iam sorry if its harsh but that cliff is shit!

Still good luck getting better, you seem to got some capability for a terrainer.

2. I was planning for the future
3. you just think to much about details,this is no show terrain nobody will notice
4. You saw only one lantern on the screenies,in fact there are like 8-12 in the village (EDIT - You can see even more then 3 lanterns on the screenies!)
5. Yeah i could do that ..
6. Was thinking about that also,or i just let it like this..
7. Nah they give a feeling of a big world,and big it is and i like bigger rocks more then small
8. Nope .. i dont want the doodad limit to be to high because i need doodads for other areas also
9. I will add guilds,but somewhere else,maybe some enterable building in each town (like 5 buildings tavern,stable,market,special houses,fortune tellers enz.)

And i aint a terrain-starter..

 

[Jirinal]

Nonono details are important atleast for me and the people i know.
Caus when you think like that following COULD happen:

It will start with the wall, then it will be a rock that is wrong placed, then a tree a scorch and much more. And then you got a big amount of small mapping errors which will sum up and make the map bad looking.
Terraining is an Art and youre the Artist!

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Yes,and im better then you

Well acctualy your not right,i mean warcraft should stay a game and in my eyes the wall is totaly not wrong placed. It seems like the wall doesnt go IN the house but that it CUTS OFF at the house .. just thinking about it and searching for those things in world editor makes the game less fun for the player. Rly this map is 480x480 so you wouldnt notice all those little details because it would be to much (or little spread out over huge areas)

So that doesnt make sense,anyways like the topic says its your 'opinion' and i dont know people (only u) that look so carefully at a terrain like this. I will tell you something i am pretty perfectionistic and if i think its good its mostly good ..

 

[Jirinal]

Owell different communities different peope~
Aslong as the project will be good those small problems shouldnt be your main concern i think.

And with the iam better than you, i just take it as a joke

 

[The_wand_mirror]

It was also ment as a joke (finaly someone who understands a joke without the stupid j/k thingy xD)

 

[Ham Ham]

Add more rocks and plants
4/5

It is for 'i dont say'
And i use WEU because of the 480 size xD

Why the hell you need of a 480 map just for making a terrain demonstration?

because its not a terrain demonstration..

 

[demonsofdante]

You have too many objects clipping each other, including rocks, walls, etc.

Also the rocks are too much of an obstruction around the houses and don't look right.

And for the lovvve of god pleeease redo the steep cliffs.
Im sure you were going for the sheer drop off cliffs that you see in the everyday world, but you have to accept the realities of WE. They look extremely unnatural and some angles come out very cube shapped and also ruins the water boundary. Smooth cliff edges look better than right angles in the game and are very easy to do. Also, add more variations in the cliff heighs, even if they are miniscule, at the moment it makes that part of the terrain very flat and unnappealing.


Other than that its fine

 

[Mecheon]

The cliff... Sucks, to be blunt

You can do that with normal WE as well, just need a little addon which is freaking awesome but I don't have a link to, bound to be a link on WC3Campagins though

 

[The_wand_mirror]

i've already redone the cliffs when they told me to,i forgot .. but im to lazy to take a screen and post .. maybe more screens will be posted without revealing to much of this..

 

[Dr Super Good]

The reason he can not use sky is 480*480 maps are bigger than the sky model and thus it appears that the sky ends before the edge of the map.
A custom model should be able to fix that.

It's not only in 480*480 maps, I got that problem in a lot maps, when taking screenshots, and yes a custom model can solve that problem.
