Reality Shift

[frostwhisper]

Behold, my masterpiece!

Once reality shifted between myth and fact, a line of pure energy swept across the world, creating a mirror image of our realm into the world of warcraft. Now the two worlds remain collided, under one sky and sun, yet invisible to the naked eye.
Either that, or the two footmen garrisoned near the border line are just too foolish to look the other way.

Credits to Born2Modificate for his excellent high-resolution doodad pack.
Although technically not a WoW rip, the custom footman uses WoW animations. So sue me ]=P

Anyway, I do hope you enjoy criticizing and praising this terrain as much as I enjoyed making it.
Thank you.

Cool idea, but the difference is not enough to stand out. Maybe make boths sides the same size.

Edit: I see, it scrolls! Maybe you should crop it down?

Anyways, I give +rep

 

[Belgarath]

Oom ... firstly, big no-no to the clash of high-res and wc3 things ... nice enough idea, but you did it a little badly. It is quite nice that you "cloned" everything, but ... can I has that footman?

 

[frostwhisper]

Firsty, Gilles, the sides are equal, just the screen doesn't fit the entire image. See?

Secondly, Belgarath, the whole concept was to contrast their quality, to get the full "another world" effect.

Oh and... which footman? xD

Thanks for the comments both of ye.

 

[Belgarath]

Mmh, I just glanced over it 'cause I had to go to the toilet >_<
Had a better look, and the contrast isn't actually that bad, since it's all WC3 one side and high res on the other, which is a plus. Shoulda made a custom sky box
The footman on the right side pl0x

 

[frostwhisper]

It's all WC3 one side and high res on the other, which is a plus.

My idea precisely.
I got the footman model from XGM.ru (dreadful site, full of rips). You can download it from there. Ain't linking it though, the Hive's against it (and so am I <most of the time>).

 

[Belgarath]

Ah, xgm.ru ... I hate that one. Well, anyway, I'm probably gonna get into some High Res terrain, maybe with lighting...

 

[frostwhisper]

Nice.
Btw this is my first attempt at using those high rez thingies.
I had to import everything to make em work. Took me an hour for the importing phase... ><

 

[Belgarath]

Heh, I'd DL the map pack and then import into that

 

[frostwhisper]

I ain't that dumb ya know, I tried it.
Didn't open however. Said there's some kind of error.
Anyway, I think I didn't waste my time ^^

 

[Elenai]

Incredibly well done, and the concept is absolute perfection.

I love it +gems!

Le'Update

New in Patch 1.0
- Gave the high rez well a bucket (TDB noticed it was missing) -_-"
- Added some more hills
- Increased the contrast between the pines behind the tavern so they're easier to distinguish from one another
- Added mice. What do you know, they actually notice the barrier.

 

[Nindira]

Lovely. The mice won me over. Great job.

 

[Gilles]

The Mice are pretty cool, but I wouldn't put them there. It makes the whole screen center on them instead of the footman, which is bad IMO.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hmm... if I ain't lazy I will move the mice next to the footmen ^^

I call it... "Compare and Contrast"!

A very nice little idea. However, it's not great. The terrain is flat, low variation of environmental doodads and tile variation, and the 'identical' placement of some things are off.
