I've been working my ass off lately to make a nice playable envirroment,
for the map im making with a friend of mine.
Just wanna point out it's the first map im terraining,
well not counting several melee maps but those were made "blizzard style"
so i dont have much experience in it, thats why i ask of you to give an
constructive opinion about my terrains so that I can improve,
anyhow it'll be a battleground like map with elements of rpg,
its all about controlling the points, defending your base etc.
also you can get one (or more) of the 4 overall neutral factions
to join your cause via unique 4 questlines
(thats where the rpg element comes, with dungeons and shit).
But thats enough yapping here are the screencaps:
It's still wip as you can see part of the pavement is missing on the right side
Not all of the objects have reflections atm
As in most of forested areas in the map there is still a huge lack of foliage, and the tiles are yet to be placed properly - thats just a "rough sketch" you could say, im gonna also dump some ruins broken/angled columns and make a shrine at the center of it.
Well that's just a base terrain there is going to be alot of stuff like weapon crates docked warships, npcs etc.
Almost done out there, need a little more tile variation and plants and think it'll turn out ok
A border post - last human controlled point in this part of land/general overlook of the area.
At the foothold of Ravenhill Fortress, i've been inspired by teh village in silverpine forest (WoW - the one next to greymane wall) to make the wooden cliff
As the fortress itself isn't nearly finished i've only made the walls and placed a cathedral at the center of it (looks ugly at the moment) there is nothing to show, so i'll just give you the view from the road up there
And there's the wooden platform again this time in game.
Dwarven City entrance, there is more details to appear on both sides of the gate, yeah i know the lamps are placed unevenly forgot to put one in place after dealing with da rocks.
Means "Giant Mountain" according to wowwiki, it's the one barely visible in the back, an overview of the dwarf zone with the fortress walls in foreground -there's a village atop the peak below which the city itself is placed, thus the platform with cannons is actualy a defense of the village, and the windows i made are supposed to indicate that there's an interior to the walls. It's just a wip, there's gonna be more to that xP especially the village
I was thinking about replacing the wooden stands with a stone, something to fit the theme more, i don't know need opinions on this one tbh.
Well that's the same zone, just testing the addition i've made to my map to freely rotate the camera clockwise and counter clockwise.(Im planning to make whole map viewable in full 3d - there's already alot of details that arent visible with a default game camera)
Here's the marketplace again, this time just want to show how does the terrain look beneath this grating, there's just a little bit problem with the angle in WE and dissapearing objects(for the record i had distance view on maximum) so you cannot see the rest of those hatches down there below, just the light.
I haven't worked much on an area around the forge, also gonna place some stuff around the room like ingots weapon racks, armor racks etc, and npc's hammering the anvil !
