Terrain Showcase By X.e.r.e.X

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well I made this and removed my terrain album, cause everyone doesn't prolly realize to even look at there so I bring it here instead :O
This time I'll add just "good" works

 

[Dakho]

The 2nd and 3rd ones are the best, just have a great atmosphere and look. The others are good too, though.

 

[donut3.5]

The first one is my favorite.. Would you mind if I used the idea in a cave-styled map? I love the look.
--donut3.5--

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Sure no problem. Not like I'm mega proud of it or anything

 

[PurgeandFire]

Great job! Those look really nice, love the atmosphere!

 

[Celaquil]

Ye XereX, you just have to find your inspiration to terrain again! your good and you know it! give up that texturing shit, its terraining your borne for

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well I'm curretly working on terraining again

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Added 2 pics that I forgot to put earlier.

EDIT: Meh.. I double posted :O

 

[Rui]

The second and the last one are godly. How did you do those?
I also like the third.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

If you mean the lighting on them .. I made them mostly with doodads: Particle: Fog (Edit in Object Editor) and Particle: Sun Flare on the UTM :O (They aren't that godly lol)

 

[Naze]

The 3rd one is surely the best.

You need to work on the last one. It has potential (a good angle, a good lightning, a good sky), but the very first part is horrible.

 

[bjartmar]

Great shots

I like the last one, and the idea of the cave thingy

Well, the best one is the sun, not the mountain

 

[FamousPker49]

What's the sky on that last one? Is that like... Cloud doodad rotated on its side? Or Is it a custom sky?

But they are all nice, and the last one the only thing I don't like is the mass stretching on the large hill, you should try to cover with actual rock doodads maybe.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Updated with my latest work: "Hobo's Grave"

 

[PurgeandFire]

What's the sky on that last one? Is that like... Cloud doodad rotated on its side? Or Is it a custom sky?

It is a sky from the orc 3D campaign screen.

 

[Belgarath]

You sure are good. Although you watch out for the lines in the lighting (2nd last one). Otherwise, great.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Ok updated with my new entry to the terraining contest
Wish me luck >.<

 

[Naze]

I'll suggest you to make the hill less pointy.

 

[Childeric]

Man. Im not sure if I like the actual terrain on alot of these... but the ideas (hobo's grave), and the lighting/atmosphere, is just flawless. Rep sandwich!

 

[Sabertooth]

Hobo's Grave = Win.

Nice job, Xerex

 

[Craka_J]

Looks like we have another good terrainer in the WarCraft III modding community of the Hive Workshop.

They are all good, but the only one that I didn't like so much was the barrens terrain. I don't think the tiles were used all that well; for instance, the tile used for the cliffs. It looked terrible - well I have always hated that tile - especially when stretched like that. You probably should've used another tile for the cliffside instead. However, you certainly are good at terraining, but you still have quite a way to go before I can agree that you 'good enough'.

I encourage you to keep terraining, as your work is nice and enjoyable to look at.

[X.e.r.e.X]

Updated with my latest work: Jungle Temple

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Nice terrains, but where did you get those dragons at second last picture? I need those for my campaign.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

They are the blue dragon nest buildings

 

[Aeroblyctos]

REALLY? Oh right you start to surprise me!

+rep

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

You can do lots of things with a little amount of imagination :O

 

[Craka_J]

Last terrain reminds me of one of MadseN's terrains. Looks pretty good though.

~Craka_J

 

[EmawWyvern]

If only blizzard used some of these screenshots, alot more people would've bought the game.

 

[Far Aldazar Din]

My favorite is the Second. Looks like a mountain resort type of thing.

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

These are amazing, some are very unusual.
Keep up the good work!

At the quoted I quoted the file from FP (first post).

I wanted to say that it'd be good if you add spikes with skulls ans corpses on them on the tops of the hill we can see on the background. Would be good

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Such cruel acts aren't my thing D:

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Lol nice pictures, but I like the Sunset one alot. EXCEPT that horrible barren rock terrain really ruined it. (Add some rocks or something to it)

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Yeah I know it kinda blows, but I have deleted most of the terrain maps, so it's hard to update them

 

[Serbianbeast]

not bad, grave and sunken temple are the best. there might be some more work to be done but it's great

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Going to add new pic today perhaps :O
Working on better barrens themed terrain

 

[I34w90_238j]

My rate:
Eyecandy: 9/10 (not many units)
Detail: 9.5/10
Originality: 7/10
Fitting: 2/10 (this terrain to be used in some mission)
Comment: your terrains have no space in them and may not be used in any warcraft mission. Your terrains are sweet like hell O.O .

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well I make only "art" terrain so it's not really supposed to be playable anyways

 

[Magneman]

Really nice!
Were most of the things you used when making the terrains already doodads etc in the game or did you import them?
Are there any guides for making awesome terrains like these? :O

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I use UTM that has hundreds of imported stuff already in it (It's stickied at terraining forum) and yes there are many guides to make a good terrain.

 

[Magneman]

What's UTM?
One more thing, did you take a screenshot in-game or in the world editor?
If it was in-game I'd like to know how to view things from angles like that.

 

[seruk]

Are there any guides for making awesome terrains like these? :O

Try "Practice makes perfect" by yourself.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Try "Practice makes perfect" by yourself.

True
Anyways, the picture is taken inside WE

 

[Celaquil]

Hey xerex! The new pic is nice and is somewhat a new twist, which i like
Anyways, there is TWO things I want to point out:
1. Whats all those round objects looking like tree tops on the ground? (and if they are tree tops and the point is that these trees shall look bigger i would suggest making them a bit larger, those on the ground.)
2. The LARGE trees look rather dead, you should add some leaves to them in any whay possible, not so that they cover up each other but only so they dont look that bare

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Honestly, I think that last picture is just alot of random shit. Nothing really interesting, other than dead trees, ashenvale bushes, and funny death crystals poking up.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

About the latest picture.. I'm not going to edit anything about it, cause I like it how it is now

 

[Childeric]

The portal void or whatever reminds me of the chamber of sages from Ocarina of Time. Great success! ('-'d)

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Updated with new pic

 

[FamousPker49]

The second to last one, has a great atmosphere, and could be a great terrain, but WAY to repetitive, and tbh nothing is going on. Last one, is decent but a small view and nothing going on there really either. I'd say do something better with the second to last one. You are cutting yourself short.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

I like your latest picture, the snow one. You should of kept the ground a bit more bare, or more snow.
