Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[InfinateAnswers]

It has a purplish tint to it, are you using the white rocks? if you are there's a lighting issue

 

[Adiktuz]

Adikutz, what the footmen are fighting looks like a giant shield with an eye. That's not something they need to be fighting, even if (or perhaps actually because) it has those weird things. Whatever it's supposed to be, replace it for your own sake.
And yes I'm talking about the hill near the camera.

it was the main idea of my terrain dude, so it is something that they should be fighting... this is fiction, not reality...

and I'm Adiktuz not Adikutz...

 

[Tamerleine]

here's another WIP,

comments and criticism are welcome

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Could you point out to me a river, or lake, that has grass growing on its coast? The water looks akward because of the grass, or the grass looks akward because of the water. The grass is also too green for the battle field, doesnt feel right. The trees on the right side of the river dont feel like they belong that close. If you were going for a mountain feel, the grass isnt a good match, and there are too many trees based on the surrounding environment. But the second one looks better then the first because it doesnt have those rings of fire randomly everywhere.

Woah! Unrealistic nature.

Also, what did you mean by "more angles" regarding my terrain? >.>

 

[darkzxx]

that is not unrealistic,it's just that no human go and cut the trees/grass >.<

 

[Celaquil]

Righty then, unless I get some huge impulses, or great suggestions on how to improve my terrain, I'll name this my final entry.

Hope you like it.

 

[VeljkoM]

I could only say to add missiles flying from one side to other.

 

[Oziris]

Keiji, maybe some clouds oh and I see the end of the world. You should add at least one more layer of mountains.

This.

Beside that, your entry is perfect. I fucking love that camera angle

Great job.

 

[fladdermasken]

Keiji, maybe some clouds oh and I see the end of the world. You should add at least one more layer of mountains.

The end of the world isn't noticable enough to pull attention or ruin the imagery, in my oppinion that is.

 

[Celaquil]

Sadly, there are no "missles" of satisfiable quality for that.

Keiji, maybe some clouds oh and I see the end of the world. You should add at least one more layer of mountains.

The clouds is a valid point, I'll probably try that out, also, I wasn't sure wether or not I thought the end of the world thing were there, if you think so I'll see if I can't edit it, though in that case I would have to thin out the fog, and doing so might just ruin other parts of the terrain.

this would not work for the tank--> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ssile-105182/?prev=search=missile&d=list&r=20 or http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/.../?prev=c=23&search=missile&r=20&d=list&page=2 or http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/.../?prev=c=23&search=missile&r=20&d=list&page=2 ??

 

[Oziris]

Meh, that yellow light would ruin it IMO.

 

[Deolrin]

You removed Mr.Goblin.
I am disappoint.

---

Jokes asides, that's pretty epic, Keiji! As others have said, I believe it would be awesome if you added some projectiles flying around, e.g. meat chunks from the meat wagons and cannonballs from the tank and bullets from the riflemen.

 

[fladdermasken]

Projectiles would ruin it for me. If not extremely well placed, they'll look messy and undetailed.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Okay i stand corrected but! im pretty sure grass doesnt grow underwater!!!

 

[fladdermasken]

Seaweed?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

But the ground isnt littered with seeweed, there is visible sand, and grass itself doesnt look like seaweed, and algae is more likely in a river like that, so green ish rocks would look more realistic.

 

[Adiktuz]

but why really bother on that much realism? war3 isn't realistic anyways... grasses might be growing underwater on the war3 universe...

anyway, just my thought. ^_^

 

[InfinateAnswers]

if grass grows under water, then you can burn water.

 

[Azurot]

if grass grows under water, then you can burn water.

Orly?!

 

[Vizel]

Well, it could be a flood drainage flow.

that is, a portion of river that is dry until the spring thaw, and then the river floods over it and then there would be grass. there's a small area like that near where my mom lives.

 

[Adiktuz]

if grass grows under water, then you can burn water.

possible, if we take into account that this is fantasy... anyway, its a river so Vizel's post was really a possibility...

EDIT:

WIP3

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Yeah but if its a annual thing, the grass cant cultivate, and eventually receeds to dirt.

 

[Skycraft]

Hey guys! I figure it was time I was posted my WiP. But before I show you this, I need to tell you there were errors occuring with my SHITBOX of a computer and I lost the current stuff I recently had which were better changes
Because of this, I had to start again and I decided to "merge" the former WiP's I had to make something interesting out of it. I've only done the 'arena-styled terrain', but more WILL come soon I promise you do this. I don't expect you to like it so far. Oh and another thing, please don't give me any feedback on what to put on next. I want to do this on my own knowledge if that's fine with you. Thanks.

Note 1: I will be adding environmental scenery to support the arena. Don't worry! You don't need to remind me.
Note 2: I will be adding backing terrain to support the landscape and Human, Undead and Naga units to support the battlefield.

Slippery Arena

Just want to thank Gottfrei for SnowPine model.

Merry Christmas btw.

 

[Adiktuz]

the hidden tag for the pic doesn't work...

EDIT: nvm...

 

[darkzxx]

don't you think you added a little too much crsytals?

 

[idodik]

don't you think you added a little too much crsytals?

I agree: in a place where water freezes so much I wouldn't expect life to grow, so either make your arena a glacier with dead trees or reduce the amount of crystals.
Other than that I was always a fan of Icecrown and I love your work, keep it up!

 

[darkzxx]

water freezes into ice not crystal >.<

your camera looks weird too,the terrain ground is like this / not _

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Not true darkboy, when water freezes it traps minerals, and over time those minerals build up into crystals, but those crystals are just akward lookin, if you want a crystal feel, use real crystals that you would find in a crystal cavern, there might be some models on hive idk.

 

[darkzxx]

don't call me dark boy
and maybe what you say is true >.<

 

[Oziris]

Why do you have to look at the realistic way, use your imagination people. Maybe it's magic? or the terrain is on an other planet? Ever thought of that, hm?

 

[ashbringer753]

is it too late to propose participation? If not, I'm in.

 

[Oziris]

Nah, never too late

 

[Adiktuz]

Why do you have to look at the realistic way, use your imagination people. Maybe it's magic? or the terrain is on an other planet? Ever thought of that, hm?

exactly... warcraft is a fantasy anyway so why delve fully into reality? +if you want realism, then you'll be stuck with the human units only coz the other races are not realistic...

 

[InfinateAnswers]

difference between realism and lore.

 

[Vizel]

If you wanted you could try to find partners 3 days before deadline.

Oh, wait... that was the last story contest... Never mind.

[darkzxx]

i can't see your wip :C

 

[Vizel]

Same. it didn't work. Try again.

 

[ashbringer753]

seems to be working for me... try again or refresh the page

 

[Skycraft]

Ineffective image display.
Please try a new url - tinypic.com
This could help.

 

[darkzxx]

or attach the image to your post
that's the best way

 

[ashbringer753]

edited the post, is it working for you now?

 

[darkzxx]

works,but why is the ice trapped inside the crsytal ?

 

[ashbringer753]

why not? it isn't supposed to be realistic

 

[darkzxx]

i know but it looks weird

 

[Oziris]

IMO the ice looks totally fine, nothing weird.
Maybe add some clouds, the sky looks too clean to have snow falling.

 

[darkzxx]

not the ice -.-
i am saying the crystal
