Topic Subject: Yet another eye-candy thread...
posted 03-21-02 08:51 PM CT (US)   
I am involved in my later scenario "Tribes of War" and I was thinking: How do I top off Clans of War map design? Well of course! With eye-candy...

In the process I used A LOT of eye-candy and believe invented a new type!!! Well, hopefully...

Anyway (since I don't know how to show a pic on the post) I'll post a link to the picture...

I am also going to get every bit of eye-candy info I can find and post it here with the creator's name and where to find it as well...

I'll be posting other eye-candy from my map (not all original) but I won't tell how to do it. You can try to figure that out

Very nice indeed! Who would've thought there could still be new eye candy?

Well done.

LOL. Don't worry 'bout it. I'll get it included some time...

If you have any other posts or threads that could be useful in my thread, and I haven't got them, don't hesitate to add them.

Oh and since I tried to go to sleep but couldn't I'll give a few more tips (if I'm good enough to give ppl tips hehe) But:

*Leaves terrain can be used for lava, just make sure there's fire explosions to keep the player from getting a good look!

*I find gaia flowers can be overloaded (even in a jungle) so leave some grass visible.

*Elevation is very important, you can make a desert completly different with just elevation.

And here are a few more eye-candy (not original)

Swamps with Pigs:

Ruins of Cemetery:

Waterfall:

Well, I know they ain't original like the first one but I'm not a god (or am I ) j/k

My own personal eye candy: (i hate calling it that, so let's say terrain design)

The cliff volcano: harmless one that explodes on top of a cliff circle, under 5 trigs and still a nice touch

The dead forrest: rotating trees till they're all dead, not just using the gaia ones. this takes time, but it looks awesome when you get it up to a huge forrest. it looks like a fire swept through...

map copied buildings that i made so wierd that you wouldn't even tell what is what... ie, cathedral with things on the side, and things on top, with a wall of frank wonders etc, so it looks like the streets of london, like in real life.

dam: bridge on the edge of cliff, with assorted gaia etc, looks genius and there are loads of variations on this one...

hold on, lemme think of some more. I have the ultimate, but you will have to wait till my rpg comes out.

elf, can I email a scen to ya with all my terrain testing?


my voice cracks when I sing from my heart. -thrice DGDN ...is kinda workin!...

Great job. I like all your design examples, they look good and realistic at the same time. All designers that use sea rocks which hover in front of cliffs should see your waterfall. You made me curious, which campaign of yours would you recommend me to play? Of course all, I mean to see more of your original eye-candy.

Tribes of War is still in the works but if you want a eye-candyless good map try "Clans of War" or if you want very little eye-candy you could also try "Silent Howl" or just wait until "Tribes of War" come out (I'll tell you if you want)
