The green forest places need lots and lots more tile variation and maybe small environmental doodads like shrubs and grass. Other than that it looks good.

 

[Dr. House]

the terrains need som more work specialy the first screen cause it shows its a goldmine but the ideas are nice.

 

[M0rbid]

Nice ideas, those terrains look really individual, I especially like the forest thingy!

Don't like picture 2 and 3 that much, because they look odd, especially the rocks, try adding plants or something between them, or add some few rocks that stand out a little!

For the beginning, i started only with the ideas. Its not really finished, just wanted to know if the concept is good! All details missing in the pictures i posted. In two weeks i may will start a threat in the Map Development Forum.

Oh yes, the concept is good. I don't like the 4th one, it just seems bad... Maybe I get that feeling because there are no grass tiles, idk. Try that and we'll see if it gets better.

 

[M0rbid]

I agree, especially because it's always looking strange in wc3 when bushes grow out of stone or earth!
As I said, nice concepts!

 

[Wasp]

K, i will see what i can do. Thank u all +rep

The forth picture remained me of Dragon Age, that means its good. Dunno why you people complain, would look good in-game. The only thing that's lacking is the raised and lowered ground. Unrealistic IMO. You should fix it and maybe add some rain.

Lacks of grass Me likes grass...

 

[Oziris]

Grass? He doesn't need spam. Grass is just a shit doodad used to full-fill the terrain if its empty. Mostly new terrainers use it, they think its good. Not saying you cant make a good terrain with grass. I prefer using flowers or mushrooms and grass at some places, some if necessary.

 

[Wasp]

Mhm, i handle flowers and stuff like that with care, because maybe i add herbalism later....the same with weather effects, because i will make a weather system later maybe.

Update!
Replaced the goldmine model in the last 2 pictures. Think this model fits better now!
In picture 2 and 3 the green stone model gets also replaced by the new one.
I am already making kind of a ruin troll city and a jungle, pictures coming next days.
Pictures are attached at first post

Yes those rocks fit better indeed. I just have one question. Why are there purple crystals in a gold mine? Shouldn't they be yellow/goldish?

 

[Wasp]

Its not a goldmine =D
Its a purple crystal mine =)
Dwarfish

You said goldmine here ^^

 

[Wasp]

Yeah, i used colored goldmine models to make a purple crystal cage
But the dwarfs which lived there mined crystals

Ah I see what you mean now ^^.

Update:
2 new terrains, but i dont like em so please tell me what to improve. (fifth picture + seventh picture)
Also i tried to improve one old terrain, like you said.(sixth picture )
Should i remove the grass spam on the last picture?

 

[Insincerity]

Not bad at all. Maybe use a different kind of rock on the one with the bridge and the rapids, though... the one you used has a bad texture.

 

[Piwlady]

OOokey...
That green forest needs tile varitation.

Also you should really get better rock model for that mine and river thingie because that rock is just too clean and smooth. Try find better from UTM.

Otherwise, it looks pretty good atm, but you still can imporve Keep it up

 

[Wasp]

Can you give me an example? I really dont know what model would look better there. Before i used the goldmine model, should i use it again?

 

[Wasp]

Update: Look Firstpost

 

[poffo]

I especially liked the second one , has a good atmosphere...
But i sugest at the first to do some variation with the trees..
good work =D
