The Forgotten Crypt

[Koeky]

A long forgotten crypt deep within the woods.

Please comment it.

Statues look unfitting, texture on the crypt entrance looks very bad.

Nice idea, and could really look good, BUT those streched rock tiles are really a no-go!
I would suggest using doodads instead of tiles, cliffs for example, good cliffs are included in this http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=83031 pack! You can see them in the back of my newest pic: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...212-m0rbids-terrain-showcase-atraderstale.jpg

So, again another tipp to the ground of trees, try adding plants to it again!
With some modifications this will really look great!

 

[Koeky]

Thanks. but would it looks good if I would put a high ress rock in it? I think i would kinda look wierd, but thats just me

 

[M0rbid]

That's a good point, and I would say, just try it.
It guarantee you, it wouldn't look worse than the streched tiles!!

You could also use the arathi rock model by takakenji : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/arathi-rock-v2-148856/?prev=search=arathi&d=list&r=20

but the other one looks more like a cliff, you might try both?!
Good luck!

 

[Koeky]

I will try both, one part of the tile high ress rock and the other part arathi rock model
and maybe ill just change the enitere background to an overgrown city Or I could make both.

Here is the the updated version of the forgotten crypt.
Please comment it (again )

Am I allowed to draw some lines in your screenshot, because it's very hard to show you what I want to say without it!?

 

[Koeky]

ok. you may draw some lines

 

[M0rbid]

So now, I drew some lines:

I think it's a huge improvement what you did !
Now to the lines: you see the two lines going on the base and the top of the rocks!
and what I want to say with this lines is, they shouldn't exist. This is really unnatural, I think you will never find cliffs like that in real nature, because they are a random product, mainly try to randomize your cliff, what could help is for example a huge scaled rock looking out of the rest of the cliff.
And I also think, that u used to many small stones for it, just a little stone spam there ;-)

To the other marked things: first the bushes in the cliffs, it looks unrealsitic too, if they grow on top of the stones, try to always add them to the points were rocks have their base. With green colour I marked you some example places!
One other thing are the few darker green bushes in front of the crypt. They look like they stand in a row, again, a little unrealistic!
Also you should try to add them more over the whole landscape, because right now they stick out of the rest, which isn't that well, because it steals attention from the crypt itself!

A last thing to mention is, maybe, I don't know what's your intention of what sort of crypt this should be, but you could play a little with the fog and light, to get a more mysterious look for a "crypts entrance"

Remove the spam of gold mines or whatever thay are it doesnt look nice the first one is the best in my opinion but if you remove the goldmines it prolly look better.

Thanks. ill update it soon. and i_brg_doom those rocks is the Arathi Rock v2.

 

[Dr. House]

ok anyway remove them i dont think thay fit there

 

[Koeky]

I'll remove some of them but not to much

 

[Dr. House]

addicted to them?

 

[Koeky]

yes, who isn't addicted to them their so nice almost like a cookie

 

[M0rbid]

I would suggest changing their size more randomly and maybe adding some that are scaled to 2.00 or even larger, if the texture doesn't stretch to much!
then you can delete some!

 

[Koeky]

oke.
P.S what do you think of my new avatar

 

[Piwlady]

I suggest you to add diffrent kind of rocks there. Because there is only one kind of rocks, it looks plain. And daaaaaaaamn stretched.

Also ground in front of crypt is flat, fix that.

AAAND I suggest you to make sunset or something to come behind cliff. There is perfect spot between those trees on up , right section of the picture.
