[WIP] Landscape of Epicness

[~Void~]

Zomg another WIP thread. It's for the same contest at wc3creations.net.

I'll be posting my WIPs here, and I'd be glad to take any suggestions.

 

[Sabertooth]

No little towns this time.

And the back of the terrain (If it will be viewable) should be more varied in height.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

I'll agree with Saber's suggestion of height variation. But man, I almost feel a sort of calming sensation when I look at it, it's so serene. ('-'d)

 

[thedeathunterxx]

HOW THA FUK DO YOU DO THAT !!!

HOOWW :O thiz shiit iz epic already fuk that.,

 

[Naze]

What dirt tiles are you using?

 

[Revan(Rom)]

Maybe a very high mountain in the background...or better 2!
Like a "V" with an valley between the mountains

 

[Ziggen]

Yeah I agree with thedeathunterxx, that looks epic already man! Can't wait till you're finished.

And \Naze, I think that's the Village dirt tiles.

 

[~Void~]

Well I prefer to make realistic mountains, and this is based off a realistic perspective. Mountains aren't that variated in real life.

I might make one or two large ones though.

It's the village dirt, village rough dirt, ashenvale dirt and ashenvale grassy dirt. I don't use grass tiles

 

[~Void~]

Yeah that's one of the things I pride myself in

Construction, however, is not D:

 

[Sabertooth]

is that stuff in the center water or fog?

 

[~Void~]

That's up to your interpretation.

 

[Celaquil]

Void, get to the Doodads already! WILL'YA!?

 

[Kwah]

Void, wasn't this supposed to be an anonymous contest?

 

[~Void~]

No. It was, but it's not anymore.

 

[Sabertooth]

Tower of Babel was going to be his original submission anyway.

This will probably turn out a lot better.

 

[Kwah]

Ah. Why not, Void?

EDIT: Looks epicnessness.

 

[~Void~]

moar wippy

Edit: even moar wippadar!

 

[Belgarath]

Looks too generic IMO.. you did it nicely but it's not that great, no special bits, but the landscape is sort of epic.

 

[Gilles]

Can anyone make an epic landscape that isn't a forest covered mountain? I'm trying to think of something.

 

[Gausslander]

My suggestion: Add fighter jets and helicopters in the distance soaring over.

If that makes it better rep me

 

[Belgarath]

Well I had a town scattered around too, Gilles D:

 

[Celaquil]

What about a picture of a nomadish wasteland? With lots of tent bases in mountians and a large desert and maybe an oasis? Suggestion for Gilles since he talked about it ^^

 

[Naze]

That's awesome.

 

[Belgarath]

Don't point out any good things, point out ALL the bad things. But yes, its awesome.

 

[~Void~]

Don't point out any good things, point out ALL the bad things. But yes, its awesome.

That's what we do here . Take all the great terrains and point out what sucks about them to discourage their makers from making more to kick your asses in contests, and take all the terrible ones and point out all the good things to encourage their makers.

It's fun, I do it a lot!

You shouldn't have said that =P

Now the thinking users that read that post are going to use that technique.

[I also meant that there are some users that simply do not think when posting/reading other's posts. Thats sad, but...]

 

[~Void~]

It's not like it actually works. But it helps your ego

 

[PoZoR]

maybe im just a noob... but is it just me, or do all the terrains ive been seeing lately look exactly the same

 

[SILLYbear]

maybe make the fog A LITTLE less dense. unless the area is SO EXPANSIVE then fog would settle in like that.

edit: i saw the followups just now and its rly nice. like some national park in america.
still the fog looks like water. looks nce that way; dont know if that was advertent

 

[frostwhisper]

If it's gonna be just this, it's incredibly boring and unoriginal. Do something in the sky, damnit!

 

[2-P]

70% of your screen is sky, too much imo. The sun rays look weird.

And add some DINOSAURS! >:

 

[frostwhisper]

He can't. Shitty forum's shitty rules permit dinosaurs

 

[LiOneSS]

I saw the 'stairway to heaven terrain'
You better make this one titled 'Knocking on heaven's door'
it would pwnz0r.

 

[~Void~]

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that everyone is being increasingly hostile towards my terrains recently... I don't quite understand why. Honestly I think it's fine, and I don't go for originality, I just like to make cool atmospheres.

 

[frostwhisper]

Take it in the ass like a man, Void

 

[~Void~]

Hmm... I'm not trying to rage at you for criticizing it.

Anyway, my goal when I made this was to make it look realistic and not like fantasy. I don't like making fantasy terrains, because that's what everyone else does, and I myself have made a fair share of them and it's getting damn boring.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

The scenery looks like it should have a dark fog.

 

[~Void~]

Uh... really? Why? Maybe if I made it night time...

 

[Naze]

I think it is pretty good.

And it isn't "unoriginal". It is some kind of cold pine forest surrounding a foggy like. Despite the forest, it is very Shadow of the Colossus like - wich I think it is awesome. Also, the terrain is very very realistic.

I don't really see reasons to bitch about (only the sky, but now he fixed it).

 

[~Void~]

Thank you for describing it as "cold", it is what I intended it to be, a chilly november/december morning in the mountains.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i really luv thiz.

its REAL unlike some of the other bullshit fake terrain. that all the other people do ( lol including me )

+ rep. gud luck in tha contest

 

[Belgarath]

Well, maybe a city on one of the islands?
But it is a great terrain.

And 2-P, would those be... 'AMG NAZI PENGUINS ON DINOSAURS yadayadayada...'?

 

[~Void~]

Meh, cities.

 

[Belgarath]

Yes, meh, cities.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Make trees!

 

[Belgarath]

...there are trees. A lot of them. On the sides, on the islands.

 

[Gilles]

This terrain really reminds me of the landscape around my city/town.

 

[FrIkY]

It's not like it actually works. But it helps your ego

Whoa, that looks beautifull! Great job ~Void~ ^^

 

[FamousPker49]

The trees all look the same size, and the trees on the little islands done fade off well.
And the sky...

 

[The_wand_mirror]

...there are trees. A lot of them. On the sides, on the islands.

Oh. I watched the first post, he should update it there..
