thx, and any idees what style of map i can make?

THere are so many different things a map could be about, but that's one of the most important points in terraining I think, to come up with your own individual ideas!
Try to orientate on screenshots by experienced terrainers and look what they do, and then try to get your own ideas by this without copying their ideas.

Well,making terrain like that,takes hardwork and dedication not to mention experience.

By the way,use Spell check before you post.

what do you mean hardwork, and i was writing on my iphone

 

[M0rbid]

he means hard work, which means you have to practise a lot and gain experience before you can make a terrain like those. There's a reason why there are only a few guys in the list of top ten terrains, and there's also a reason why it's just top 10 and not top 1000 ;-)
So if you want to terrain, don't expect that you make epic terrains right from the start!

 

[Piwlady]

Yes, terraining needs practice. But it's true that you get motivation from those legendary terrains and from top 10

I also suggest you to have a look at
raid1000's screens

Also if you are going to make playable terrains, I suggest you to download
Diablo III Warcraft by CloudWolf Studios
It gave me damn much inspiration and motivation. So I started to practice. And if you want to know how did i succeed, check My PLAYABLE Terrains

 

[Lordthom]

thx both and piwlady, i already have seen your terrains, Damn good!

i think that terraining comes from what you feel, and how you percieve things.

Not that its a bad idea to ask others for inspriation, but instead draw your inspiration from something which visually appeals to you. for instance, check on the internet for beautiful landscapes. Search other terrains and also look into what you are felling inside your soul.

If you catch my drift...
