WT 56 - Waterfall

[Death]
The Gunslinger Roland halted his horse. Beyond him was a spectacular sight: a foggy morning illuminating a lonely village over a waterfall. The water from it poured downwards and crashed onto the rocks millions of miles below. A luminous haze of fog was emanating from the soft, wet ground. The scene smelled of peacefulness. Utter tranquility. It was this ground Roland - or rather, his horse - walked on. It was beautiful and sacred, this ground.

Hmmmmm, I think the term most appropriate here would be "nice". I haven't done one of these jobies for a long time so I might have a go if I get some free time, definately a nice and opportunistic theme this week, we should see some real nice results :D

An expression used, better worded "Seemingly endless"

Heres my entry; it didn't take too long to do, but its pretty good in my opinion.

Note: Although the bridge looks like it continues to go down as a wall into the lake, it doesnt. It stops shortly after you can't see it anymore.

If it was a dam wouldnt the water fill up the area between the dam and the waterfall in like... 10 seconds? Unless the water falls forever, which would be pretty cool anyways

If you could make a skin for the bridge that would make most of it transparent, the bridge would look more like a bridge than a dam. Maybe it could be done in a similar way as people created transparent ground in a different WT: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=83680

I do like how the camera angle is different from most pictures of waterfalls.

skinning and tiling are two different things, not terraining at all i might add even though terrains know how to. Shortcut of what you just said is just pressing delete on those bridges -_-;

Mine has a lot of height in the rushing waters, not sure if you guys can see it.

If i did that we have random support bars hanging out into thin air.
And I usually dont see random floating blocks of cement

Edit: You need tile variation and doodads raydude, along with doing something with the weird snowy weather on the very top right of the first pic.
