Troll Ruin

Well, I won with this pic in a little contest over at Hive, so, I thought since, I havnt like uploaded pics here in like forever, I could do it now :P

K... Keiji? xD
O hai, guess who issued your award back at the Hive? :P

Mhmm, it looks okay, but doesn't really have any "wow" effect. I don't like the rocks with the stretched out textures and I don't think those treehuts fit in well with the forrest theme. The look more like something that would look good in Sunken Ruins tileset.

o0 streched? Neither of the rock models is enlarged more than it should, therefor that is the defult texture >.> AND, I dont want my terrain to look like WoW <.< :P

It looks great, but those ferns are really too big. Look at the ferns around the archway in the foreground.

Ferns can grow really large you know :P But I see your point, wont do anything with it though <.<

it looks cool, just... the buildings are a bit... murlock style >_< it make me think about some sort of murlock settlement [can't really call it a ruin since theres no ancient broken stuff ^_^]

i see why you won although the foreground is kinda ugly. i think its becuase the rain disappears.

Theres stone arches, and if you look close on that one hill theres a ruin house, so YEAH i can call it a ruin... >.> And for the foreground, what the hell is ugly with that? The only thing is the rain, as you said <.< but its close to imposible to get it to look like it rains there as well...

Not everything has to do with World of Warcraft you know, the word wow existed before the release of that game. By wow-effect I mean that this looks plain and like something you have seen many times before.

And why are you so confused about the texture being stretched. The doodads size doesn't affect whether or not the texture is stretched. It is like that by default and it is acceptable from an RTS view, but not like this. It looks bad.

I think he meant wow as in holy shit, or omg, not like WoW.

No, you would want your terrain to look like "holy shit, or omg"

lol, ofc I knew that! I just tryed to find a way to excuse myself <.< :P

Just to mention, ferns can/could grow about 20 meters high,
i like it alot, how you made the river passing down there =)

Good job
