So if u make crystal doodads without pathing and place alot on eachother u can get nice glow areas :) 8)

Here another screenshot of the fifth map from my campaign. Maybe a little to foggy.

Well before I post, heres a few things to know about me...

I suck at taking screenshots so I am mostly going to leave it near game view and click, and I like to shake what daddy blizz gave us and don't like using custom doodad models. Other than that, the only thing to know is that these are just 3 of the maps i'm working on and the only one actually released is the 2nd age one. The terrain prob. won't blow you away because they are large maps and are meant to be playably smooth so I try not to overdue it. Look forward to your critcism!! :D

A 1st Age map I am working on...

I really like how u use those doodads, but the terrain itself isnt very special. U should really use more tilesets and more props and envoriment

Alright everyone, I actually found my old waterfall (hurrah!) (the new one sucks!) (see page 3)

It is just a scenery, so it has nothing to do with gameplay. I just made it so I could get hired by someone who never made his map >.>

There are four screenshots, the forest, river, fountain and waterfall.

Enjoy!

River

Waterfall

I may continue making sceneries such as ancient ruins scenery, mountain scenery, dungeon scenery, etc.

That is a pretty sweet idea.
#54
How you flatten the tables to make it on the ground??
#58
I really like the scenery VG besides those 2 imported human models who look very glasslike, like 2 small porcelain dolls.
#59
Err....I think thats just the jpeg compression doing that. :oops:

It looks really good ,but you should lower those trees a bit else it lookesweird , but thats just my opinion.
But the rest looks really good. :)
