The Terrain Thread

2-p your first terrain looks quite similar to FFXIII. Did you base yours off of it?

The picture i based it on was one of the desktop wallpapers that came with windows 7 that was in the 'Canada' theme, so yeah

heres the pic i tried to base it on:

Spoiler

Fuck, Canada is beautiful. :]

anyway... first sc2 terrain, and first terrain in awhile. I dont have a name for it so...
CnC please

The problem with your mountains is that the places which have snow on them aren't less steep than the rocky parts. That might work if the mountains are far away, but close-up like that you should make the mountains wider (they also really lack depth) and (slightly) flatten the snowy parts.
Needs some fog! And the trees farer in the back should be smaller.

No, never played it. But that's cool, could you please show me a pic of that FF equivalent? I think quite a few of my terrains have a JRPG influence, I don't think that I ever re-made a specific scene (Zelda aside), but sometimes when I come up with an idea I think "that's something you could see in a JRPG". At least I'd like to tell that myself.

Desert aside, the two pictures look quite similar. The fact that your city has a bubble or force field surrounding it like in FFXIII gives the idea that it's based off of Final Fantasy.

Spoiler

The city in the picture shows up a lot in the game, so if you played FFXIII you'd remember the force fields right away.

The picture's pretty bad, I couldn't really find any on it that were decent.

Oh, even with fireworks inside, pretty pretty. Final Fantasy developed such a great mix of magic (fantasy) and sci-fi over the course of the series.

i couldnt figure out how to add fog. it was so simple in wc3 but so complicated here. i ended up just giving up on the fog. took me an hour jsut to figure out how to set the sky too.

also those 2 you posted are pretty cool, but in the second one there is some wierd line in their torso area

oh also, silly 2-P, robots cant love!

 

[Sevion]

The "weird line" is glass.

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

ah ok i see. also the top thing above the robots isnt aligned to center

other then that its really nice.

Not a Dream


It lacks variety/details, but since it's not possible to tilt doodads (Thank you Blizzard!!), I had to use units for everything and working with units is a pain and takes ages. =/

That look pretty.... pretty....

The curving ground effect is pretty coolio. Reminds me of Inception!

 

[2-P]

Inception!

Well, I thought it was obvious enough that I don't have to mention it.

The file name only kind of gave it away
