Stryder's Unfinished Scenic Terrains + Download

[Strydhaizer]

I'll be leaving these stuffs here, these are the unfinished terrains of mine from 2019 - 2020 that I never got to finish, and have no interest of finishing.

Perhaps someone (maybe you?) will finish some of these, or maybe this will give you idea how I made/make my scenic terrains and how it works in the editor. Hopefully this will encourage more people into scenic terraining (maybe).

Apocalypse
Backstory: This was suppose to be my piece after the cave terrain I made for the terrain contest, but it looks so similar to that terrain (especially the sun), and also because this looks so boring since there's literally nothing in the scene, so I decided to leave this unfinished.

Spoiler

Desolation (formerly known as "Uncursed")
Backstory: I accidentally deleted the most recent backup of this terrain, which is why the glows in the scene disappeared when you compare "Uncursed" to this version. I made it from magical to science fiction but still no luck of finishing this piece.

Spoiler

Dawnstar
Backstory: I wanted a single tree with a sunset in the background, but I feel like it's boring so I dropped this.

Spoiler

The Future
Backstory: This was inspired from the TV series Altered Carbon and the movie Blade Runner. DNF because I'm too lazy to put more neon lights in the scene.

Spoiler

The City (formerly known as "Underpass")
Backstory: This one may look finished but it's not, I was busy and wasn't able to finish this one. My lack of motivation is also preventing me from continuing this terrain. This is by far the most complete among the list of DNF Scenic Terrains I've released so far.

Spoiler

Notes:
- To view the scene in the same angle as the screenshots go to Camera and pick the very last camera in the list.
- All maps use the same terraining map.

Enjoy (and good luck - if you're interested of finishing one of these).
- I might put more in this thread whenever I make another unfinished terrain because sometimes I randomly lose my motivation finishing terrains. I'm burnt out of this hobby and this game at the moment.

These are nice. I probably won't finish them since I know next to nothing about scenic terraining but I will definitely dissect them to check what techniques were used to achieve the skies and such so I can incorporate that in cinematics (if at all possible )

looking sharp
i wonder how they'll develop

They won't develop themselves, someone has to pick it up

These are nice.

Thank you

Thank you

You edited your post, you wrote down something about the skies but I only briefly read it since I didn't have much time

Added my unfinished "The City" Scenic Terrain. I might also release an unreleased playable map later, maybe.

There's a lot of good beginnings here, a lot of potential.

This thread seems a bit "good-bye-ish", I hope you're not leaving us Stryder, you're one of a very small handful of people who still make eye-candy with the dusty old editor. I would, and maybe will, pick up one or two of these terrains if I had / when I have a proper computer to run Wc3.

If I were to venture a guess at why you lost interest in most of these, I'd guess it's a lack of vision, most of the ideas are pretty simplistic, and while I have nothing against simplicity, it does sometimes discourage one from continuing the work. I often find that my best drive when doing a new terrain is that I'm focusing on one special aspect of the terrain, trying to improve my own skills toward that aspect, but you probably knows what works best for you so I'll shut up

Also, I find it interesting how similiar Desolation and Dawnstar is, is there a reason for that?
