My First Map

Well, a few days ago I decided to use the World Editor and have some fun. Fun, turned out to be a three day addiction- so I started a map and had fun with the scenery and what not. Here are some screenshots of the map.











This is my first shot at terraining, if you guys have any tips or suggestions, share!

Wow, this is really well done. I'm not a terrainer or anything, but I like what I'm seeing. Your maps will be beautiful to the eye. Keep up the good work!

Damn, his first map and hes better than me.

It looks good.

The hill is kind of boxy.

Thanks. As to the terrible hill lol, I was going to put more creeps on it and thought that creeps and units couldn't be placed on such a steep surface. I'm probably wrong. d:

Fantastic, very good job with the athomsphere and doodad placement!
What is that strange wooden thing in the fifth shot?

Yes I agree with all the above, but looks like you could put the smooth tool to good use in a few of the natural ones though :) Try some more doodads aswell to liven it up a little, but other than that the concepts are great, keep up the good work and have some rep

It's a small cellar room. I planned to make it extend the whole way but didn't get around to it because I got caught up with figuring out how to make spells.

(I have to stick with one thing and complete something, lol.)

Thank you. I agree- I really should have touched up the terrain like you said, especially for the camera angles I used.

**EDIT** Arg, double post- sorry.

:P, already your rep is higher than your post count, whoot, nice going.

BTW, did you use the ultimate terraining map for these?

Yeah, when I first started the map and got into the terrain, I was looking for some good ones to download. Then I saw the Ultimate Terraining Map and exported a few doodads etc. from there.

It's a bit dark to see anything, try using a slightly lighter fog, but not too light so you use the feeling. Otherwise it's ok. Nothing groundbreaking but I like it.

The first screenshot is pretty damn nice. Best waterfall I've seen in a while.

I doubled his rep ^^

Now you got rep / 2 > posts ^^

lol, whoot for Zoxc.

BTW, is the amount of rep you give when U +rep someone according to how much rep you have yourself? Cos I gave him 2 points :D

Very good for a first.
