Where am I?

Hai there.

 

[lord_Turin]

idea is cool,
lighting is good.

but you use ALOT of clashing models and textures. maybe less quantity in terrains and more quality? give them some more love!

 

[Heinvers]

I'll tend to it since it's not yet finished

give them some more love!

will do

 

[sonofjay]

You really like this theme eh?

 

[Heinvers]

Yep ^^

Making adjustments now :b

...annn...........d done!

So I changed the tree on the lower left part, replaced the water while adding a minor reflection from the sun.
Removed the dead black trees and the desert pines, also fiddled with the light a bit more and fixed a bit that black glow on the left.

You really, really do have a knack for horrible textures, don't you?
In this one, mainly... All the rocks.

Lighting, damn it. LIGHTING

Me? I dunno what you're talking about ^^

Is your screen set to its native resolution? If it is, you should probably also set your graphic render options to max and turn on texture filtering, anisotropic filtering and antialiasing before you take a screenshot. Most jagged edges will go bye-bye.

If you have an nVIDIA card just right click on your desktop, go to nVIDIA Control Panel and draw the slider-bar from Performance to Quality. Or go under Manage 3D settings and set Anisotropic filtering and Antialiasing to highest settings. If you have an AMD card there is a similar control panel called Catalyst Control Center.

Me? I dunno what you're talking about ^^

So. I think it's two things, mainly. First, it's how the textures interact. The trick when using e.g. rocks in formation is to make it look seamless. Second, it's choosing the right textures for the right shot. Take the foreground. tobyfat50's rocks are awesome, but they don't really work well here. It looks chaotic as fuck, especially by the puddle.

Fixed!

The second one is much better than the first, but the setting and lighting conflict, creating an odd atmosphere that just doesn't work.

It's supposed to be abandoned/destroyed/whatever, right? It seems far too bright and oversaturated with pink/yellow for that. Granted, there's definitely room for color in a setting like this, it just isn't working in this instance.

I look at this and if confuses me. Not in a good way.

There's too much going on and none of it seems to mesh well.

 

[fladdermasken]

Also, you need a separator between water (?) and background. Right now it's hard to tell the difference.

This terrain, I think, would benefit greatly with some black
glow doodads at the edge of the screen on either side.

... or just generally a darker tone.

 

[Heinvers]

Haters, except the black glow part

btw how's the judging coming along Keiji?
