Reality... Where?

This is my latest terrain, made for TC8 over at hive, hope you all like it.

Wow it's just amazing!

The snow down below looks kinda weird and monotone... I dunno, I feel like changing those tiles up a little bit would help a lot.

Tiles will more than likely stay, I might add some frozen river or something, however. But the major things to change is to just have more variation on the snowy ground, trees rocks and so on, I just have to sit down and actually DO it.

You misunderstand. By tiles I meant terrain tiles, as in you're using exclusively the 'snow tile' for the ground. But yeah, a frozen river could look nice.

yeah, it'd help if you put lower snow or something under the trees. it wouldn't be as deep there any way.

That's bloody amazing! Must've taken you ages to pull that off.

I have nothing to complain about. The snowy plains makes it look desolate and uninhabitated below, and that's a nice effect I believe.

Kudos for the awesome terraining. It's great to see some sci-fi themed terrains.

The snow-covered ground really detracts from the overall quality of the piece. Please, even in snow-covered landscapes there are more things present than just snow. Snow-covered rocks, some variety in the trees, a frozen river (as you mentioned), some rocky terrain that the snow didn't stick to (tile variation), etc. There's a lot of things you could do, and you really should do them too - it'll improve it a lot.

Also, I think the catwalk should connect to the building in the foreground to add a level of depth to the piece.

Otherwise, it looks neat.

Connecting them would be impossible, since the shitty Warcraft 3 Editor will simply make those models disappear. And many thanks for the ideas, I will surely improve this terrain sooner or later :)

Ugh, I do so hate clipping. Sometimes you just can't win, I guess.

Open the model in Magos and edit the model limits themselves, that should fix the clipping.

Of course, since I have even the slightest clue of how to modify models.

i like it a lot, reminds me of myst. concur on the catwalk connecting to the foreground deal and snow taking away from the overall quality.

Updated and Improved.

The "upper" part looks great, really cool idea with the tree islands.

I'm not a fan of the snow landscape however. It turned from monotonous to cluttered imo.
But it's the whole snow theme that's actually bothering me, I think some kind of orange/red wasteland would fit better. Fallout-like, or something more fiery with deep canyons and craters. Basically an inhospitable area where nothing could survive, so those islands in the sky are like a save haven for humanity(?). Your winter landscape looks uncomfortable, but far from threatening. =P
