Hello! I have been working on this snow showcase for a while now. Everything that you can visually see, was me. I did the lighting using some ColorCorrection, I have a bit of blur, and some blue tinted fog to make this map feel winter-ish… Hope you like it… Here are a few shots of the map. Vote in my poll if the fogEnd property in lighting is to close to the camera, just right, or a bit to far!
The map is looking great so far! The terrain is on point, as well as the fog and falling snow. However, there is something that I believe should change, which are the trees. They look really simple compared to the extremely detailed terrain, with no texture or anything for the leaves and trunk. In addition, it kind of looks weird how there are trees that are fully bright green with all their leaves in a place that has a more grey scale and dull color.
I use the “Add” tool in the terrain editor. I don’t use the grow tool like most builders of terrain do… I use the add tool for slopes, and other stuff.
This looks awesome the terrain looks perfectly in harmony with the parts trees. But it should have more content. Like more houses and other things. Also shouldent the water be ice?
The water looks good too. But not that realistic because it is water not ice. But its your game.
Some of the lakes within the game are made of ice. And, this is just a portion of the map. I have started a city near the current area of complete terrain. Thanks for the advice! I will probably add a few more cabins or houses within the area!
You did an outstanding job with the terrain! I would fail miserably trying to make the hills and mountains. How did you make the tip of the mountain so pointy? The smooth and add or erode tool would instantly ruin it!
Whoo, I don’t even know where to start! First of all, your landscaping is incredible! It looks so good! All the other models and everything else on the map matches with it. The ONE thing that just makes me think is that, if there is those snow particles coming down, granted I don’t know how many or how fast, shouldn’t there be a bit more fog? Anyways, that’s my view, good luck on your endeavors!
Outstanding job on the map overall, however, I would suggest one thing. As mentioned by @ImAFatGuyLoLoL earlier, the trees could use some sort of texture and some more variety among them. From what I see from the screenshots provided, it seems you just copy and pasted the trees and angled them. Try adding some more branches and maybe bird nests scattered throughout. Hopefully this helps you improve your map, best of luck!
