Rate these terrain pics one being the best and five being the worstI just kind of want to know were i am at haven't really shown any or my works or any maps to the pub b4.
I do a great job of terrain and have to stop myself from overdoing it because people complain the game isn't good enough for the terrain.. and I have used so many doodads that map was unplayable in the past...
With your city picture, fancy can be a nice thing, which it was, however the ground was not particularily realistic, no paths, it was much like a pattern with no order. The doodads in that picture were nice but close to being overbearing.. a lot of obelisks.
You posted 2 of the same picutre (lava/redwater falls) Nice again but not much variety in the seperate doodads, and use of small ammounts off doodads, I think only rocks, rock spires and waterfall.
Thrid picture, you overused the rock spires, maybe some fissures or other rock doodads place on the ground would have looked nice, Maybe some taller objects closer would have added some depth (important in cinematics or screenshots) Overall keep up the good work and add some order to city terrain!
I realized i was overdoing with the rocks and spires main reason for that was that i was trying to keep all the doodads for the lava falls and for the other pic. Thanks for the advice keep em coming they really help me out.
Using some paltues, raising and lower would have done uite a bit for it, also some ramps for smooth edges on some spots. Also the cave terrain/doodad peices that blizzard provides look quite nice when effectivly blended into the rest of the terrain.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
