_____________________________________________

[ragingspeedhorn]

1st and 4th picture looks great, the rest are so-so, bad angles and such.

 

[Oziris]

I like them all.If this is your fist terrine then u are going to be realy good!

 

[Craka_J]

Very nice work. Good use of doodads and the tree and tile variation was done pretty well. The only things I don't like are:

• Pointy hills!
• Most of the terrain looks flat.
• You have no terrain fog applied. Pick a terrain fog, maybe a light blue or light gray would look nice.

I agree with Ragingspeedhorn that the best screenshots are the first one and fourth one. Good work!

Very good work, but I think your doodad placement could use work. Not sure if you do or not, but I suggest thinking before placing shrubs and plants. Glad to see you aren't scared to use a lot of them though! Good job.

The fog should give it just a tad better atmosphere. Although towns and cities generally don't have a lot because you can't see too far due to buildings and things in your view.

 

[Naze]

dude, your terrain is pretty good, a little flat as Craka_J said, but the 5th screen is so so bad. Find something else to take a screen, bcause that screen is the worst.

I really liked the atmosphere of the terrain, you gave me a feeling of a real rainy afternoon. I think it is because of the sky, very well choosed.

 

[Craka_J]

The majority of your terrain screenshots look messy and could use some cleaning up.

Nice work!Good luck with the contest!

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

1st and 4th picture looks great, the rest are so-so, bad angles and such.

new screen hope they are better

 

[seruk]

1 and 5 look good. Tho, the terrain does indeed require fog. A white fog should do the trick.

 

[Naze]

Oh, yeah, they are better. Much better. Good luck with the contest!

 

[Craka_J]

Big improvement on #5.
~Craka_J

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

there is black fog but you can't see it becouse the screen don't show much of the map

 

[seruk]

Don't use black fog. Please.

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

Don't use black fog. Please.

why not what other colors you suggest?

 

[Craka_J]

Light Gray fog is OP.
~Craka_J

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

i got a new terrain where schould i post it here or new topic?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

If it has irrelevant theme post it on a new thread.

 

[Nudl9]

Oh, neaty swampish terrain with uhh... city buildings? err...
Im not so sure if i like swampish trees and doodads so close togheter with buildings.
Kinda like a bit contrast if u ask me.
Else its pretty much good.

 

[Gilles]

Don't use black fog. Please.

Seruk never said truer words.

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

Well ill upload my pics here
becouse it is a orcish fortress city
(all the models come from this site :])

 

[Naze]

Don't you think that the terrain is too flat? Ok, you have the hills outside, but you could raise a little other areas!

Nice terraining.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

The 2nd one is overcrowded.They are flat.Nice overall.

 

[seruk]

It's neat, but it's way too flat. As for the fog, I suggest either a light grey one like Crako said or a white one.

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

ill be redoing stuff then
-------------------------------
redid the terrain like you guys said
its better now

Tan Fog Tutorial of mine.

It's neat, but it's way too flat. As for the fog, I suggest either a light grey one like Crako said or a white one.

Actually now that I look at what his terrain looks like, I advise making the fog like to a tan color. To do this, do the following:

• Click "Scenario" on the toolbar of the World Editor.
• After you've done so, a drop-down menu will appear; click "Map Options".
• A new window in the World Editor will pop-up.
• There will be a check-box in this new window. The check-box should say "Terrain Fog." Click the check-box so there is a check in the check-box.
• Now the option to edit the fog's color is enabled. The default color should be set to "Black" already. Click it!
• Select the color Orange and choose it. Then re-edit the color of the fog and set the color to "Custom."
• Now another window will pop-up. There are three color values: Red, Blue, and Green.
• Set the color of the Red value about 20 points lower. The color should look more like a tan or brown color. Adjust these three color values and experiment. Eventually you will get a good tan color to go with your terrain well. I recommend you reduce/add points of the color values by ten or lower to reduce the chances of making the fog look like crap completely and be able to stop yourself early.

thank you for the help
this tan color roxs check this!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

thank you for the help
this tan color roxs check this!

This is your best work so far.Good job!

 

[Craka_J]

I really like the lighting. Though, can I make one suggestion? Change the rotation of each tree! They're all the same!

Click it, then hold Ctrl and hold Right-Click and dragging the mouse will turn the object.

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

it was just a test i didn't save the map lol =[

 

[Gilles]

Pretty good terrain, although it's just a wack of large sexy models. Not a ton of terraining skill in there, no offense.

 

[doggie_man]

Wow That Is Excellent! I like it!
Show Us The map!
10/10

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

i got new screens of my latest city
feel free to discus

 

[Naze]

The terrain is nice, but flat. If you add a fog, it will certainly get a better look!

Oh, and you could add stuff at the streets, like trash, barrels, hay carts, etc.
Nice job!

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

if i add heights the streets will crack into slices and the villagers will be chopped of there head from the sharp streets (i cant add heights)
its 10% done fog is for the finishing toutch

 

[Naze]

The elevation mustn't be AT the streets... you can use it at the little gardens, grassy areas, etc...

The fog is the final touch? So it is ok! =]

 

[Gilles]

Meh, I don't care for a ton of imports like this. Not a whole lot talent shows through these, they look nice in a playable map, but I just don't see talent in them.

These do look fairly nice though. Your use of doodads is good, but it's not all that hard, place a barrel here, a box here, and maybe a table here. Done!

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

dont forget you gotta put the houses togheter
and lay the street and it will look awesome when its finished i hope
it will be like a real city once i put persons in it and much more action and doodads to make it happyer and less grey

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It looks okay, hopefully it is not the finished product.

 

[Naze]

If you want to make it look like a real city, you must let it gray, not happier!

 

[Vkm]FoL[Dx]

when its done i will add action on the steet and decorate it so it will be less grey
