Pale Spring Morning!

Withering Heights

Experimenting with some light effects. Before you say anything, Yes the girl is oddly scaled. I made it that way on purpose. I think it looks sort of cool, with her being tiny in a seemingly huge world. Man, you will probably torch me for this.
Nevertheless, feedback appreciated as always.

PS: I need a suitable name for it as well, you are welcome to give me suggestions.

The sky looks like using colors in the photoshop (not saying you did). It doesn't have the textures as a sky, too blurry IMO which is bad. And what's that black circle in the middle of the picture? Nice work anyway.

 

[fladdermasken]

Er, I took down the picture for now. I realised I have to work on some details. The black circle was supposed to be an apple, it turned out more like a pumpkin though...

 

[Oziris]

If it was meant to be an apple then the light should have been behind it and the apple shouldn't be tinted to black, only to 100 per color IMO. And it was kind of big for an apple.

Light was behind it, it wasn't tinted black, and... yeah it looked like a pumpkin, can't disagree with you there.

 

[fladdermasken]

Right, posted the picture at last. Feedback appreciated.

Aside from the lighting problems (not your fault, just Wc3's bad lighting) it doesn't even look like it's from wc3

I'll take that as a compliment.

I have to say I don't like the angel of the little girl model because her ribbon blocks her rock arm and it feels like she doesn't have one.

Sky looks really gorgeous, amazing job there. Though the branches look too fat lol Maybe using some death tree models tinted into branch color will be better to use.

 

[elredir]

the sky looks awesome
i think u should ad a little more vegetation on the branch that the girl is standing on
and probably make that giant apple a bit smaller
and turn on the anti-aliasing from the video cards control panel
too bad i cant give you rep now:|

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Also, could you put this in hidden tags so it doesn't stretch the page?

I was quite happy with the sky result, thank you. These are tinted deadwood trees, although I do agree they look a little well fed...

Good point, I didn't notice that. I'll try to fix it.

I was thinking the same thing, the branch needs more vegetation. Perhaps I'll make the apple smaller, haven't decided. Ah, turned on more AA for the new picture.

Yeah, done. Sorry about that.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

Thanks a bunch.
First Update!

 

[Belgarath]

silly girl gonn break her neck

two suggestions, firstly, i would turn AA on (if your video card is nvidia, right click on the desktop, nvidia control panel, pull the slider of graphics settings to the far right, to Quality), and secondly, that girl looks a tad out of place. Especially how she's just kind of standing on the branches up in a tree god knows where, I'd replace her with something like a wc3 model or just remove her

 

[fladdermasken]

I believe I got the AA right this time around.
I can see what you mean about her being out of place, however to me that's one of the vital points to this terrain. I don't really see how a warcraft unit would be less out of place though. Thanks for the suggestions nevertheless.
Update by the way. Added a version without the girl for those interested.

 

[fladdermasken]

Any comments on the update?

 

[Oziris]

The update rocks! and I like the terrain with the girl! You sir, deserve +rep for your hard work!

Why thank you

Personally, I rarely like terrains including units, and in most cases the only good ones have been done by thedeathunterxx. So, of course I like the one without the girl the most. I'd also want to point out that everyone did a great job on suggesting improvements, and you fladdermasken ever a patient listener, love that.

If anything, I'd like to point out that the glow model is making one part of a sertain branch "stick out" considering it isnt covering it, it's going through it. I'll upload an image to show better where I mean, but still, this is my ever pirky eye thats talking

Very well done terrain, good job.

Update. This should suffice for covering up I think, thanks for the pointer and kind words.
And yes, I agree, the suggestions and feedback has been great. Thank you all.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

love the final one.

the lighting is really surreal. id give u rep but it says i cant give u more then once

 

[Aziex]

Love this terrain!
and I do prefer it without the girl, mainly because it means more focus on the sky and lighting effects.
Wish I could give you rep again! (I'll save it for later)

 

[fladdermasken]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Don't worry about rep, feedback is more than enough
