Reforged - No imports terrain test

[FeelsGoodMan]

Just trying some things to see what I can do with using nothing but standard Warcraft III HD assets, and no imports. Could probably be improved a lot with more filler doodads and some clutter, but I'm not gonna go all out for this piece. Was merely playing around a bit.

Looks good! I still stand behind the stock HD assets being phenomenal and versatile

Thanks! The HD assets does indeed look good, the biggest downside however is that there's a huge lack of custom assets that fits with HD assets. A non-ORM textured model looks bland and hideous next to the ones with ORM textures. Maybe one day there will be a huge diversity of assets with ORM textures.

I wonder if an AI neural network could be trained to try and guess some materials and generate ORM and normal maps that vaguely make sense. Probably beyond the scope of what amateur hobbyists could do though.

For scifi theme there are always SC2 assets which should look somewhat better due to having some of the layers. However outside of some of the organic looking terrain objects most will not be suitable for a fantasy map.
