Voracious Sea

[Tickles]

Update 2 (Most Recent):
Added more dock leading up to a destroyed building, more background, and more tentacle action. Waves are much dimmer, and there's a brighter tinting in the sky.

Update 1

Extended the stormsphere and added more of a fading background into thicker fog. Added two more tentacles and an attempt at water waves/splashing.

Original

I'm thinking of adding more evidence of a village to the right past the docks, at least two more tentacles, and extending the stormsphere out more so I can add more to the background and prevent the circular shaping it's giving now.

I think I'm seeing my next favorite terrainer. I assume this is a Work in Progress right? Looks very promising and creative.

 

[Heinvers]

Looks good. Tentacles, yay

You could add some waves near the tentacles to capture a moving-like look of them, also some water splashes.

 

[fladdermasken]

The idea is great, but you have some lengths to go with the surroundings and background

Also, fog

P.S. cool to have a new addition to the Terrain Board

The biggest gripe I have with wc3 terrain it that it is near impossible to do emotive seascapes. Crashing waves, storms and the like are very hard to pull off.

That said, I think you've done excellently within the constraints of the engine.

Agreed. I was actually experimenting some months ago with doing crashing waves with the height brush, a water tile and some light effects to cover up the awkwardness of the whole thing, only the water tile looked like shit

If there is ever a nice and smooth water tile I may revisit that

 

[Tickles]

Updated a little bit. I experimented with death animations of water models and got a subtle splashing effect. I'm still working on adding a village on the far right.

 

[sonofjay]

Nasty. Can't wait to see the outcome of this.

Has anyone tried to create a static model out of the "white_64_foam" texture?
In the context of a showcase terrain where the foam doesn't need to actually be animated, it could possibly work.

Same here

Has anyone tried to create a static model out of the "white_64_foam" texture?

I dunno, that could prove useful.

 

[Tickles]

Updated again. I tried using white_64_foam, and it's much nicer to use something that isn't animated and can be edited easier. It just isn't as spread out as the particles of water unit deaths are with how simple it is now.

 

[Heinvers]

Looks like a hawt monsta'

 

[Celaquil]

P.S. cool to have a new addition to the Terrain Board

Certainly.

-

Neat idea, but you should really attend the surroundings. There's this chilling "end
of the world" feeling to this terrain, and by that, I'm not talking about the squid.
I mean the edge of the map, you should extend the size and make more perceptible
mountains along the horizon. You should also add some more detail to the
mid-background, some forest or something.

Keep it up!

 

[Paulus]

This is a nice terrain you made. I suggest some wildlife like seaguls or whales.

 

[Vinz]

Those eyes are devilishly creepy. Awesome work.

 

[~Void~]

Cool water effects, but the way they are, the tentacles look like they're sorta just lazily lounging around in the bath.

If I saw a port being attacked by a kraken I'd expect it to be more like KABLOOOOOOUSHHH

 

[Tickles]

So more intense action? Good point. I'll fix my terrains up when the current contest I'm in is over

Mental Note: Add more KABLOOOOOOUSHHH.

 

[~Void~]

Mental Note: Add more KABLOOOOOOUSHHH.

That's exactly what I wanted you to take from my comment.

Remove that cloudbox totally, it just corners off the whole world and blocks the "wide ocean feeling".
I don't like the use of the doodads too, it seems like the tentacle monster hangs out in his lair --> destroyed harbour rather than attacking something.

There's simply to few city presence and the doodads already look like ruins.

 

[Heinvers]

What cloudbox?

That's the stormsphere model.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Is this dead? If yes then...i'll remake this , i have ideas on it. "A giant Pentopus / Tentacles destroying the shore

I'll go post WIPs later on.
