Terraining Challenge 2007/2008

[Dark Hunter1357]

Now its better then before if you ask me.

 

[MadseN]

there's still lods to do in the background, don't worry

/MadseN

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I liked how it looked like an open field. This forrest look you are going for doesn't look as good imo.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I think it's way better.MadseN will take the final decision.

 

[Pyritie]

Hmm. Too much foreground. Maybe more the camera forward so we can see more of the background.

 

[Belgarath]

Wip #3

I might do some stuff later, but right now I feel like being an assassin, probably brutal, in oblivion.
Edit: Got kinda bored, so I made some other stuff. I'm probably be working on the castle in the next while.

 

[Pyritie]

Belgarath, you could do with some more doodads in the foreground. Also the grass cuts off too quickly near the edge of the path. Maybe use some of blizzard's grass tuft models and tint them brown.

 

[FamousPker49]

Madsen, I liked the pic without the trees better, or at least back them off from the city, because IMO it looks to cluttered.
Belgarath, I like it much better than the first, maybe I should come up with something new also...

 

[Eleandor]

Let's hope I finish the map this time

WIP 1 & 2

 

[Belgarath]

Wip #4

Looks nice, eleandor, except your water looks like a big fat blob of blue drawn in paint
Edit: Worked a bit on the foreground, suggestions?

 

[Eleandor]

I know, but the water in fall is too blue...

Any suggestions on how I could change that? (tried tinting, it only makes it darker)

EDIT: new pic

 

[Belgarath]

No clue, use the water plane. BTW:
1- the rising sun in the forest looks a bit weird
2- the forest needs grass too!

 

[thisruoy]

I love the river

 

[Pyritie]

Footmen look fine but the rifleman's gun is too big. I suggest either waiting for a better time to screenshot that or something.

Eleandor please use a different water color. The blue really doesn't fit.

 

[Eleandor]

Eleandor please use a different water color. The blue really doesn't fit.

That's the color of Lordaeron Fall water, end of story. I mean, you can't use any other water.

 

[Pyritie]

Then use a water plane model!

 

[Eleandor]

wow, lag!

I'll consider using waterplanes (check the new screens, they have waterplanes)

I tried putting grass at the forest, but
1) it looks shit. Honestly.
2) too many doodads are on 1 screen then... Around 6K then, and many trees suddenly started blinking, so I'm not going to add anymore grass...

The sun is removed now (I shared your opinion, just wanted to try something)

EDIT: forgot to turn on fog at last screenshots...

 

[Pyritie]

Looks much better. Maybe tint it a slightly greenish color.

 

[MadseN]

Small Update, made a small river in the forground but i donno if it fits that good. Will start to work on the background a bit more.

/MadseN

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It doesn't fit that well. At least I don't think so. The water is not calm enough and you see that way to easily up close than you do from a distance.

 

[Jaakko]

I agree with raging. I like the background but the river in the foreground does not fit.

 

[Pyritie]

Same here. The background looks amazing though. I say the background's fine as it is.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Yea the background is preddy good. And the river in the foreground looks verry small.

 

[MadseN]

Alright another update, removed the river and added a road instead. Might change a few things in the background. Any suggestions is welcome

/MadseN

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Background is better now,seems like it has more ''life''.Keep up the good work.

 

[Jaakko]

Wip 2

 

[Deleted member 126647]

MadseN is definitely taking the cake in this one.

 

[Jaakko]

Maybe we should all then just give up and go home?

WIP 3:

 

[Midnight2]

Dang..

I didnt think it had to be Loerdaeron Fall, so that sucks because i just downloaded the linked map and went from there. Well though i missed the memo i might still try to do one with Loerdaeron Fall. Anyway i atleast want to show you what i did, have a look.

 

[chocolatehunter]

im seeing a lot of new tilesets or models.. or something in everyone's screenshots. am i supposed to make my own tileset or something?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

No, you use the tileset which has been appointed. In this case lordaeron fall or something. You may use any models available in The Ultimate Terraining Map which can be found in our terrain forum.

@MadseN - The road fits a lot better, it looks really good.

@Jaakko - Starting to look great, yours and MadseN's pieces are my favorite so far!

@Midnight2 - Good stuff, even though it is the wrong tileset

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, ashenvale was the first one.

 

[Jaakko]

Update. How does it look?
EDIT 1 Added gates to the background.
EDIT 2 Added a gate to the river.

 

[Mechmap]

I think it looks quite nice Jaakko though i don't understand the meaning of the blue light. I mean, why would it come light from that place.

 

[Pyritie]

The torches in the background look bad against the fog. Same goes for that blue light.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Jaakko the bridge looks too clean, make it more dirty in appearance, using shrubs and such placed around it/on it.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I agree that the blue light looks strange. Especialy the light caming from the building, it is not effected by the fog.

 

[Oromish]

Hope you don't mind if i join in, this will be my first attempt to make a terrain.
WIP 1 & 2:

 

[Jaakko]

Do you think that wall could fit on the bridge? I don't understand why the torches don't fit.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

The walls fits verry well and the torches too.

 

[Pyritie]

No I mean the torches in the distance. They stand out too much from the castle.

And Oromish, is that Lordaeron Fall?

 

[Oromish]

No I mean the torches in the distance. They stand out too much from the castle.

And Oromish, is that Lordaeron Fall?

Yep. the tileset.
I'm allowed to use all doodads available, right?

 

[Pyritie]

I guess... but if you cover up all the terrain with green grass and turn it into Lordaeron Summer I don't think it's allowed.

 

[frostwhisper]

Rules say its supposed to be with the specific tileset.

They don't say anything of the theme of the picture. So I guess if you are resourceful, you could turn it into anything you want...

 

[Oromish]

Hmm, how about now? does it look less like lordaeron summer?

 

[Pyritie]

Yeah. Much less.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The walls fits great jaakko.

 

[FamousPker49]

I agree with raging, the walls look much better

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Rules say its supposed to be with the specific tileset.

They don't say anything of the theme of the picture. So I guess if you are resourceful, you could turn it into anything you want...

Yes, but people will not vote for you if it does not look like the current tile.

 

[Eleandor]

Why? I'd rather vote for his previous version than for the one he has now...
