Some Doodadabuse, Jungle and other stuff

[Dia3olus]

Don't ask why im posting it here. Im just bored and i cant sleep and i have to do something to kill my boredom. And don't ask why i wrote this unimportant text. A little bit English is good for me. Sorry if i break a rule or something else. Im new at this forums.
Here are some of my landscape works, at the 5th picture only the church is made by me. Rest all by me, except the most models and skins, of course.
Picture 7 is Cinematic, 8-12 are not playable.

HOLY! MY JAW IS GAPING... this is unbelievably fantastic work!

Try using some High-Res water for that second terrain.

The areas around the pathways on the third and fourth terrains look very boring and they have no backgrounds.

Love the fifth one but same thing with the paths.

The sixth one is beautiful. I love those rocks. The ugly roofs sticking out in that village ruined it for me.

The seventh one is nice. I like the lighting but the man is a bit too small and the thing at the front of the room is way too big.

The eighth one is meh. The units ruin it for me.

I like how you did the fire in the ninth. Impressive.

The tenth is awsome but I don't care for the variation of trees that you chose.

The eleventh is awsome and very original. I lol'd when I saw it. But, that tree is much too small and the room is very plain.

The twelth is epic. Are you sure you made that? =P Well done!

 

[VampireHeart]

Seriously who are you?!? lol

Great stuff.

 

[~Void~]

A lot of this is great. You need to focus more on atmosphere. The "architecture" with the doodads is really good.

 

[Gilles]

Where the heel did you come from? This is possibly better than Corexx's doodad work. Amazing stuff. Half of your buildings look like custom models, not a bunch of doodads.

Void is correct, you could still work on environment and atmosphere.

@Lord_Nor & ~Void~ & VampireHeart
thanks for rep ^^

@Hawkwing
thanks for this, but i forgot to say that nearly all arent finished. I sadly have the usage not to finish all my works.
but i think that morpheus' roofs are although pretty ^^

@~Void~
The cause of the missing atmosphere is that the most are playable landscapes and are not only to look good.

@VampireHeart & Gilles
I am a german mapper like corexx. im not really known at the international, but a bit more at the german community.

 

[frostwhisper]

I smell talent. And I'm never wrong when it comes to talent.

 

[Corexx]

Hey Dia3olus,
finally you arrived @ Hive.

Nice work,
but I told you already before.
And I agree with Void:
Even its playable peq showed often enough that "playable" and "athmospheric" aren´t contradictions.

 

[redscores]

Hey corexx, remember me? :X (shit that m4l is so inactive), ok the terrain looks very cool, very impressive stuff.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

This is fucking great, you're the next HernanG

 

[TaintedRuins]

Wow.

Simply put: wow.

You don't need more of an ego bump, I'm sure.

But what is with the, O Hi I'm new hur, o, btw, i have amazin doodad/terrain skillz?

Crazy...

 

[MasterStryke]

wow nice work, i love your jungle pic

welcome dia at hive^^
i thought you've allready joined hive

 

[FamousPker49]

Great Job Dude. It's good to see more good terrainers around THW. Just do what the others said. Not much on top of that.

 

[Gilles]

This is fucking great, you're the next HernanG

Just like to point out that HernenG has been surpassed by quite a few people. His stuff is outdated. As well their styles are so different.

 

[VampireHeart]

His name should be "Master of Columns and Archways"

 

[Belgarath]

Very good stuff, you make awesome buildings, something I've never succeeded at
Ich bin auch deutsch, aber ich wohne in Neuseeland, seit etwa 3-4 Jahren.

 

[Dia3olus]

His name should be "Master of Columns and Archways"

Someone called me some time ago "master of colored elevators" ^^

 

[~Void~]

You are very good with the arch doodad. I find it takes too long to make too many custom doodads in UTM so I don't bother with doodad abuse.

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

i most like the 3th-4th and last picture
i never saw someone make a building so good out of doodads
the jungle needs more rock biggness variation

Look at his buildings... if he made that from scratch and out of his mind then.. he sure deserves his place amongst Madsen etc.

 

[Dia3olus]

btw who is hernenG? Link? ^^
8-12 are pictures i made for a terrain contest of inwarcraft.de. At that time i was rarely at hive, and then only to search models and skins.

All (most) of my terrains are "playable". Or potentially. But to take a screenshot of them I like to put in lighting and stuff.

Any terrain could be potentially, but it would require a lot of work for most, and the amount of doodads would kill a map.

As are my terrains, it wouldn't be that hard, although there wouldn't exactly be a point to it, because a lot of terrain is just about the view, so there wouldn't really be much playing in them.

But agreed with Gilles.
