Starcraft 2 Terrain Screenshots (unoffical)

[WOWWARS]

yeah title says it.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

It would be great for you to kick off this thread with some pictures of YOUR work

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

I'd like to see a rich cityscape terrain. I think i'll wait for the complete game to do mine, the big detailed in terrain city. Just throwing ideas or seeing if someone shares, I love the railway and how you connect it. This is just a test of placing stuff, not some effort.

[WOWWARS]

i only have screenies from my friends.

 

[FreshMobster]

My mini-terrain work, with a small rendered cinematic, showcasing the ease of bringing ideas full-sail and how camera work can be maintained at high-level: CLICK ME

And the rendered cinematic:

That lava terrain looks amazing + very very smooth rendering. Looks fantastic. I love the fluidity of the new terrain editor, mixing textures is incredibly easy and fun. However, I dislike the limit of 8 tiles per map; makes the terrain variation quite limiting.

Also, does anybody know how to rotate doodads without needing to double click the doodad and typing in the angle?

Here are some screens of terrain I made quickly. Feedback is welcome.

First select the doodad, and then, while holding CTRL, try using LMB (Left Mouse Button) outside of selection ring. It'll quickly catch on (did so for me).

Out of what you've presented, I like the third screenshot the most. Though a bit overcrowded with Doodads, it still has a more zoom-look approach than other screenshots: the places that where made detailed seem distant, you can't really appreciate them in such way.

Don't forget to use Lightning Editor - it adds a whole new level to terrain forming and can set proper mood next to used ambience and music tracks.

just need to wait till someone makes sc2 newgen thing lol.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

lol why? There is ALOT you can do with this puppy. But I wouldn't expect one for a long time.

 

[Avrion]

What is this "lightning editor" you speak of?

 

[mrzwach]

Hes referring to the Light editor, which allows you to change the lighting of certain tilesets and stuff. Haven't used it enough to really know what its capable of, though.

 

[Ardnived]

Does anyone know how to make the sky appear? Or I suppose if there is even any sky at all.

 

[Hawkwing]

There are triggers to add in skies. I'm guessing the models haven't been properly implemented or something.

 

[Mepper]

Daaamn, I love that first terrain. Looks awesome!

 

[Ardnived]

So are you saying that you can only have them with triggers (Meaning in game), or just that they aren't really available at all yet.


Either way, that is unfortunate , I don't really want to post my terrains without sky.

 

[PheoniX_VII]

Some quick terrain I made to get a hang of what could be achieved.

Crap

You can get the mapfile at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4794753/Terrain.SC2Map
It includes a small cinematic in which you fly through the map while the tileset lightning change.

Btw, here is an early shot of the same map in which I learned that even if the water plane idea is great. atm each of them are too damn big! In the end it turned out more about adjusting my terrain to the waterplane rather than how I wanted it from start :/

Waterplanecrap

 

[Fluff]

I ran into that same problem with the water. Hopefully there will be a solution eventually.

I made this tonight:

 

[Fingolfin]

For some reason, i can't seem to get my hands on patch 9. I try running both "blizzard downloader" and "blizzard updater", but they both say there's nothing to download/update.

Can someone send me the patch file?
(supposedly found in the starcraft beta/updates folder)

 

[Dr Super Good]

Reinstall the game and try and update.

Try joining a starcraft 2 game and it might autopatch?

 

[Fingolfin]

Dr super good's got the right idea. I'll try that, thanks.

 

[The_Phalanx]

Here's some of my screenshots. These were mainly me getting used to the city buildings and the editor.

[Fingolfin]

All of the screens in this thread looks so amazing.
I can't wait to see what the SC2 terraining community comes up with.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Good atmosphere Avrion, I like the fog and it also remind me a bit of those desert maps in Broodwar.

PheoniX_VII, I like your detail in the 'crap' screenshot, a bit to high contrast though for my taste, but otherwise very good for a quick edit.

Cool city The_Phalanx! Love the detail.

 

[JakeCake]

I still would like to know how to add fog .. Maybe it's there but my graphic settings won't allow it to show :'( anyway, here is my creation, I saw that the new editor has much better support for mountains/cliff like areas, so I made one(as part of my map)

Download
Simply move down at the beginning and kill the zerg thread, kill the Queen to win, the only way to loose, is if you die.. Your shield will regain it's power quickly out of combat, and your life when you attack(life steal)

Camera - Hold down the right mouse button for about a second to adjust the camera angel, zoom with mouse wheel, and to reset, click your mouse-middle-button.

That's pretty much it. Your life is in the top-left, and your current opponent in the top-right.

I'm going to figure out some abillities, apart from Charge now Have fun

 

[Avrion]

Is there anyway of getting more tiles in a map? Having only 8 tiles is annoying when you want to make a desert oasis or something else that has a mixture of terrains.

"Data -> Terrain Texture Sets" and then create a new item, or open up another tileset in another map and copy/export that, and import it into your map OR use an imported custom one

 

[Avrion]

I'm not quite understanding this. How do you export a texture set and import it?

 

[Ardnived]

I didn't really want to post these with out a sky, but meh, why not.

These screenshots may look slightly confusing at first because I turned on water reflection, but take a close look and I think you guy should be able to figure it out, but if you can't I linked the map as well.

Overview

Monolith

Statue

Waterfall

I initially intended the Giant Tree to be more of a focus, and more of a "World Tree". But I am happy with how it turned out.

[Dr. House]

reminds me of halo 3

 

[Fingolfin]

How do you make separate water levels?
I mean, when i start placing water, any water placed thereafter is placed in the same water "group". If i try to heighten it, all of the water i have placed will raise at the same time.

 

[Ardnived]

Fingolfin,

Use different water sets, best option is to probably go to edit water, duplicate the one you are using and then raise/lower the water.

 

[Fingolfin]

How do i duplicate water?
There is no way of selecting it, as far as i know..
This is a pretty serious issue, hope blizzard makes the process more user-friendly in the next patch.

Data Editor

 

[Fingolfin]

I'll try that, thanks.

[Hawkwing]

Here's one screenshot. It's not much, but it's my excuse to play with the Lighting Editor and make an interesting scene. I would've had different animations on the units, but I wasn't in the mood to add triggers.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

@Robbepop : interesting stuff =)

@everyone else : amazing what you guys can do with this terrain editor !
