if u want i can tell u what program i used to make this...

I used Camtasia Studio 5..its a cool program and gives you a lot of advantages, and features, like recording the desktop in some parts u choose(ex: just the bar just a part of the desktop etc) and convertes what u record in a lot of ways, like animated pictures, avi etc..hope this helped:D

Oh, I like the top one EvilCrizpy =)

I prefer doing animated terrain as .swf though, like the one I did for Wc4Sc2's website home page.

It's just overall better quality (near perfect), but ofc the file size is much bigger, it's whether you think it's worth it or not and I don't think you can upload/view .swf on thw can you?

EDIT: I lied, you can... I don't have the source file on this computer but I will attach it later today if anyone wants me to :)

This took me an hour.

P.S: My graphics card sucks a fat one. Welcome to shitsville ^

Thought I would post a couple shots of a Terrain Map I did :)

I took these on Ultra (With ridiculous reflection settings), so at first they might look a little confusing, but take a closer look. :) Unfortunately, no sky :(

Nice work EvilCrizpy, but I still don't see any birds ;)
I'm sure the terrain will look awesome when it's done and playable... I think it'd look beautiful from close up.
Make sure it doesn't get too crowded though.

Just look up and right from the Trees on the bottom picture you can just see V shape Thing ;) thats a bird ;D

Thanks Guys :)

Wow, really nice.

@ Ardnived, hold control and scroll the mouse wheel backwards to reveal the sky (it's on by default but covered by far z)

Aah, I asked about this earlier but no one had an answer, thanks a lot. :)

Statue looks a lot better, but I am not that satisfied with Overview. :)



@Crispy
I think we should talk about where we want the terrain to go before adding more.

Very cool. But you should definitely tint the water colour from the 1st pic a little more, it looks like the rocks are floating in the air atm. The water is almost completely transparent xD


Thanks for the advice
i have changed the water colour abit :D
does this look any better?

Lighting in Starcarft 2 is so sick, I wish warcraft 3 had that >.<
I think you made it a little TOO dark, it drowns out most of the environment and you can't see the water anymore, which I thought added a lot to the terrain.

So just lighten it enough that the water is... visible. That should be perfect then. The Picture before the lighting change was perfect, I absolutely love it, the water transparency is perfect now.

isn't it because it is a night terrain? Ok Im really impressed about one thing SC2 offers for the terrain - a real NIGHT. Yes, one can make a night map, unlike War3's 'a little more blue' to simulate night. I know it is for the gameplay but War3 had no actual night for the editor.

There's a terraining board for this you know^^

Anyway, I'm seeing alot of cool stuff here I can't wait to try out myself. The use of a real night-like situation looks promising, but the lightning on these pics are just to limited to make them look sexy.

Okay thankyou. I have took the time to change the effect
And Yes the amount of features tht SCII gives is amazing, you can make it change dark to whenever you want. :D
In game ofcourse ;)
and no there isn't i made this topic for all to use.
