Does this terraining look good to you?

Does this terrain look good to you? I suck at terraining and I need to know from somebody who knows what good terraining looks like. It's suppose to be a city stret and it's about like½ the way done. Please I want your honest opinions:

I suck at terraining, but my opinion is to add more doodads like shrubs or trees or something, currently it looks a bit sparse or empty.

What about wildlife, is there any? birds? deer?

street lights?

signposts?

 

[XXXconanXXX]

O yes, I forgot about street lights and light posts. I don't know about adding wildlife, it's suppose to be a city. Hmmm... I'll try it and see if more animals would look good

 

[Darg]

the city I live in is integrated with the bush, so maybe seeing wildlife is just what I'm used to hehe

birds are about as much as you would get in most cities...

Hehe now you can REALLY tell your an Aussie.

the city I live in is integrated with the bush,

I'm pretty sure the bush is only Aussie. Most people here call it a forest. O yea have you ever heard of a place called Brisbane? I heard it's really nice, my mom has a couple friends who live in Australia and they say it's a really nice place.

Bush? All of our houses have shrubery. Adjacent to us is the Mentor marshes, which is all tall grass. DON'T GO IN THE TALL GRASS! AHHH. (Jurrasic park). Bout every 3 years, someone will light it on fire, and its many acres so it will burn for days and days. I think the city likes it; we get a lot of publicity while the marsh is on fire. Heh.

Wow, that terrain is really two dimensional. You need to use the raise/lower tool more, and add some height changes. Its also barren, nees some doodads. Trees, shrubs and bushes, maybe a couple flowers. Weeds and petty flowers often grow at the edges of the road. Nice boulder here and there would be nice too.

LOL - Would you believe there was a picture on the internet? here, for your viewing pleasure.

I think in the backyard of the really flowery one add some more variance, all those flowers are the same, nobody can grow bushes like that. Also for animals perhaps add some rats, they are often in the city. Thats my 2 cents and I hope it helps.

I think he meant bush as in a forested area, not like just shrubs here and there. Or a small little wooded area. You don't usually see deer and other wildlife in cities here in USA. O and we don't have marshes here in Dallas, I think it's because I live smack dab in the middle of Dallas which is a huge metropolis, biggest city in Texas when you're speaking metropolis. Houston might be the biggest CITY but we have plenty and plenty of suburbs and other small towns. Sorry for rambling on hehe.

O I forgot, does this look better? This is the other side of the street:

Looks a lot more natural! but like Ryoko said you need to raise/lower terrain to make it look better.
