The Golden Hall Meduseld

[Thunderhorn]

Less than a year ago I started working on Meduseld, the Golden hall. It stand atop the hill in Edoras in The Lord of The Rings. And today I finally finished it.

Behold.

I'm probably going to make Isengard next.

oh and, the images take a while to load.

That's a really slow site... and please don't upload bmps... upload jpg files.

Why exactly?

 

[Dark Master]

What is point of that terrain exactly?

I posted something great and all I get is criticism?
Why should a terrain HAVE a point?

 

[Dark Master]

No. I ask-is this terrain, or what?

 

[Sephalo]

I'm missing the terrain actually...
However did you make that building with really small doodads? or is it just a model?.. kinda confused...

Epic win. xD

I don't know what you were expecting when you posted here, the whole point of this forum is to get criticism.

Yeah I watched em (slow loading lol). Really cool, looks very much like the original LotR one. But really, it's just a building and a hill, it's nothing else. And you made this in a little less than a year? xD Nah, I know you just haven't been working on it. Anyway I think you should do a complete terrain before posting it here, unless it's a W.I.P ofc, but what I understand that's finished. ^^

Well, the walls are wooden peasant graves, tilted slightly and stretched out. The roof is made of a roof from a modelpack on w3campaigns and human farms. And the pillars/corridor stuff is a model resembling the moria pillars from lotr from w3campaigns. The golden O is a doodad tilted to the side and colored gold. The horses heads are a wild horse model wich I stopped from moving with triggers. The wall behind the horses heads is a doodad, colored brown.

Yeah I worked on it for a day and then didn't for a month and then worked on it again etc.
Now I decided to make edoras complete, so I'm adding walls and more buildings.
I just never complete anything and I was so proud of it that I posted it.

Well I really like what you did there then. But I wouldn't call this terrain yet.
But still you deserve +rep since it's a nice idea and you kinda inspired me with it.

 

[Dark Master]

I will rep you (pointing rep button)
Oh, wait! This is not terrain! This is building!
Meh. Really. Add trees, doodads, tiles, details, camera angle, sun or moon, fog...
There are too many things you can add...
Sorry, no rep.

Ahahaha. This made me chuckle.

Seriously though, post images in jpeg format and attach them to this thread as the site you posted on is really slow.

And you should also make a real terrain instead of a first stage wip.

 

[~Void~]

I'm going to see about making a rule that you have to attach your images to your post in JPG or PNG format. Anyways, I finally bothered to wait 5 minutes for the images to load, they're kinda nice, but it looks like a WIP. I'd like to see some trees and a nice environment around it

 

[Dark Master]

And fog.

 

[Belgarath]

Weell, it's a nice building, but, isn't there just an Edoras hall model somewhere? :/
Nice landscape and use of tiles, though.

 

[FrIkY]

It's uum... empty? No enviroment, fog, etc... :/

 

[Thunderhorn]

Why the hell does every terrain need fog? As if you see fog when your looking in the distance in the movie behind edoras. There's no fog, there's a beautifull landscape and mountains.

 

[Nbah]

When you see things in real life, why do you think the far background mountains start to slowly disappear?

 

[BlinkforFear]

uummm k y did i waste 30 seconds of my life waiting for this image to load? its a building a BUILDING not a terrain, at least i couldnt call this a terrain. Im sure in the movie there are some rocks(not tiled rocks) and grass on the mountain and im sure the mountain is a mountain and not a hill? Im almost positive that there should be rolling hills in the background.

 

[Revolve]

Read the title: Doesn't say anything about terrain, just The Golden Hall Meduseld

 

[BlinkforFear]

yeah but its the terrain section... like go make it into a model and post it in that section not here no?

 

[syltman]

What doodad did you use to make this thing?

 

[Thunderhorn]

What doodad did you use to make this thing?

I used a wall from the walls pack by Daelin on Warcraft3campaigns.

Here's a link: http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=87171

Also, I tilted them by setting: "Art - Maximum pitch angle (degrees)" to -1.20
You can do that by holding shift and then opening it. Otherwise it won't allow negative values.
