RPG terrain-first try

[SlayerII]

I want to give my new rpg a good terrain so I started making terrain with more details.

Please say how you like it.

Not bad, not bad at all! I like it, just keep on practising!

Rule number one;
Don't use blizzards default trees, please.

Other than that, it lacks fog, tile variation and I can't see a big deal of playability in the area you chose to screenshot

But keep on working. Good luck

How you see playability? there is enough it just dont look like cause the angle i chosed.
SO which tiles i should use? i only have snow and some mud, but it should be mainly snow , and snow is always white...

I only found 2 types of trees for a winter terrain this:Snowpine

and one from the ultimate terraining map.

Rule number one;
Don't listen to people saying blizzards trees are bad, please.

You should use real water not just water falls and theres a rock spam.The forest is a bit to empty.Other than that its good.

 

[SlayerII]

erm thats a river, it looks quite bad with normal water..

Since you are doing a "rocky" terrain right there, northrend rock tile mixed with snow, and dirt would probably look fine.

About the trees, remember that there don't have to be snow on all trees, a lot of the trees usually look quite dead during the winter, and there is a bunch of nice "dead" trees in the UTM.

And I just told you that I couldn't see a big dead of playability in that screenshot, but sure, I don't really care.

I like it =). It looks 10x better then the terrain in RPG I'm working on >.>
And I think that blizzard trees look fine....

 

[Googlieeyes]

[RaijinSpark]

Not bad it's good for a starter i hope you become better as time passes by

I absolutely disagree. Using waterfalls as rivers is proof of skill and creativity instead of using regular, still water, that looks really awkward where shallow meets deep. Also, i think he used those rocks pretty nicely, but although i do see many flying doodads that should be lowered into the ground a bit.

As for the trees, i think the blizzard ones work decently, but there are still good alternatives. Keep in mind that doodads can be tinted if you are after that blueish dark look.

I like the rocks at the water, but you should work a little bit on your forrest, only some trees are boring, you could use some plants, small rocks, different terrain textures there.

Go on !!
