Reign of Chaos hehe my first go at terraining

[Ghost765]

Its from the RoC intro movie, where the infernal lands among the footman and grunt.
my first go at terraining, plz post feedback etc
(i think it kinda sucks, but w/e)
EDIT: another view.
EDIT: Pics with new stuff

 

[wet_water]

Nice! I think its a perfect in-game redo of the movie.

 

[Ghost765]

thnx, but personally, it looks bare, but i guess it was bare in the movie.
one thing, does any1 know how to remove the "screen captured"?

 

[wet_water]

The only reason that is there is because you probably took a screenshot right before you took this one, usually that doesnt show up.

 

[ady_illidan]

looks good, but make the terrain more smooth

 

[Ghost765]

0.o more smooth? i saw a similar post of this on wc3 campaigns and some1 told him that it looked like a homosexual love scene and a metoer, and told him to add mroe hills 0.o

if you look at the movie, its a bit hilly

 

[ady_illidan]

this scene you have tried to make?
doesn't have too much hills

 

[Ghost765]

yah...
EDIT: Well there are hills if you look through the entire movie, and i bet if you raised the camera abit more on that pic, you would see a few hills

 

[ady_illidan]

then put more meteors in the background and make them smaller

 

[Ghost765]

meh, ill give it a shot

 

[~Void~]

Smooth down stuff... give it a better fog and give it a background. Also, you might want to add some rocks around the crater, lowered into the ground, to make it look like smashed debris.

 

[MasterStryke]

yeah and maybe some green flames around

 

[Ghost765]

trouble is, there is no green flame model, and if you try to tint the red/blue flame, it doesnt work (for me anyways)
EDIT: 3rd pic added

The first one needs more grass doodads.

 

[Ghost765]

errr well, the first ones outdated -.-
it was outdated for like 3 minutes, but if you check the movie, there isnt that much grass left near the crater after it landed

I don't base my judgment off the movie, simply terrain experience.

Overall it's a pretty poor terrain. It does resemble the movie pretty well though.

 

[Ghost765]

well, everybody starts somewhere right?
i think ill like terraining, but there arent enough hours in the day...

Everyone does have to start somewhere, but you aren't going to get any less of a review than our veteran members, ie I won't hold anything back, I'll be entirely honest.

 

[Ghost765]

i know. i dont really mind
just a thought, would it be a good idea to try out making minas tirith using the raise terrain thing? ive been thinking about it but havent really tried it

 

[Gilles]

Search here in the terrain forum. There was someone who was working on an impressive one. You can get some ideas from that.

 

[Craka_J]

Though the actual terrain is plain and - to be honest - boring, but the part which makes it a success is that it looks a lot like how it was in the cinematic. Only additions needed is a black fog and grass doodads and you should be well on your way.

@ghost:

GREEN FLAMES:

man, use the model of the robe of fire (green flames)
and there the fire that comes at the aims

not the firedood -.-

 

[Ghost765]

thats like circles of fire -.- doesnt look too great. ill give it a shot later on.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Very cool, only a few flaws. Remove the screenshot taken text offcourse. Just retake the screenie and improve the crater. For the rest i think its perfect. Totally reminded me of that cinematic.

Actually, I think that the movie itself has a poor terrain, then it isn't his fault.

Maybe with some more experience he will make a better terrain, but it will still boring and etc.

 

[Ghost765]

the movie itself is bare except for grass, i thought it would be a pretty easy terrain to do
