Inspiration Thread

Post your inspiration for terrains here.

For example: "A quiet mountain temple" would be a good inspiration.

However, is not good inspiration, it's not even inspiration at all, it's like an instruction manual on how to create a terrain.



I'm going to start with an inspiration for the next person, and that person will make that terrain and then give inspiration for the following person.
You don't have to make the terrain, you can just give inspiration, but don't spam or comment on other people's terrains in this thread.



My inspiration is: An empty courtyard

Aight. . . this is my first time trying to seriously terrain anything, ever.
I did the courtyard first, then worked on the surrounding mountain stuff, which I liked better then the whole courtyard.

The dome buildings have WAY too many arches (like. . .61 of them O_O) But I didn't know how to auto-tilt at the time. No custom doodads or anything. I also worked as I go, adding more stuff from the times each screenie was taken.

My inspiration is: A mummy's tomb

this is not going to work...

mummys tomb is too hard =(

A quick piece, just to get things moving:





Next inspiration:

The mountains at the end of the world.

I like it. Clever idea, and good overall appearance.

Those screens look great BB and Gor.

EDIT: I have finished. It took about two hours, w00t.

Leaving inspiration:
Mine Shaft

Wow nice temple! thats awesome, I'm just going to checkout how to make stuff turn =)
Ok, heres my mineshaft, it turned out sillier then i wanted
(i spent too much time making the house and elevator)

Heres an inspiration for u:

The Altar of Truth

(Btw, how the hell does exponential fog work??? Mine is always just 100% pure black...)

Gorman, could you repost those pics with a lighter fog? I can barely see anything in those shots. And i dont know how exponential fog works either.

Tiny Photoshop edit. Next theme then:

~Altar of Deception~

Woo! Here is the altar of deception! Took me less than an hour, too!

Next inspiration:
Rock City

Well I don't know if its exactly a "city" but this is what I came up with. Originally I wanted to make something much more epic, a large canyon with lots of little holes in the sides where people would live but I got lazy trying to construct it.

The next inspiration? The Old West

Ill try that one. I have an idea, give me a couple hours.

Edit: Done.



Next inspiration: The future.

That's nice.

I'll take The Future I've already got an idea, give me a couple of hours as well.
