Staredit Network -> Terrain -> Waterfall

I'm starting to get into extended terrain, and I decided to make a waterfall. Here it is!

Rate please.

the waterfall looks weird and both sides of the cliff should be the same height

Try to find some better underwater tiles. Better than my first attempt at a waterfall >.<
But yeah, try to make the sides equal.

the top edge is too repeative. mix it up and itll look more convincing. and cover up all the water tiles with the sprites or else it just looks bad

5/10

tooth fiary, i dont mean to be mean(well yah, actually i do.) but u cant critisize people when the stuff u do, is tilesmashing peices of crap. and if u think im just a trash talkin poser, ill show u some of my terrain. and any way, killercow, dont listen to toothfairy, hes a poser. he doesnt even know what 'blocky' is because he sees it too much from himself. dont use sprites and stuff. read some of WoodenFire's stuff on how to make terrain. good luck and have fun

How 'bout you look at my tutorial: Waterfall Tutorial

I know its not the best waterfall, but it's not the WORST...
Yours is okay: 2/10

-4 points because the two left cliffs don't match up
-2 pionts for repeatativeness
-2 points for the strange way the waterfall is

Good luck on your next try.

Lol, I was using your tutorial... The sprites on the left side are there to cover up blockiness... I couldn't find a blend, and the picture in the tutorial had the same problem... I don't know why the things aren't lined up, when I tried to fix it it just went to pieces, so I left it how it was. Thanks for the help(?)

Lyon, you're so mean.

When making a waterfall you should have both sides the same because I have yet to see a water fall that that goes down like this \ to another level

Stop arguing in my thread! Take it somewhere else.

Anyway, I'm making another (this one's actually serving a purpose) and its looking a lot better than this one. I'll post it when I'm done.

Personally i don't think it's that great of a waterfall.

5/10

+1 for effort.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-04-24 at 17:57:50

No, it wasn't that great of a waterfall. I'll agree with you there.

Here's a (slightly) better one. Nearly maxed out on sprites, though (D'oh)

Two angles:

Rate again!

Look's good, i like it alot.

7/10!

very nice. you might have gone a little overboard on the sprites lol but other wise its great looking 7.5/10

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-04-24 at 18:49:08

Some of the sprites aren't actually for the waterfall, but for the highdirt>water (backside). I couldn't find a way to make the little corners go away.

Let me get a good screenshot of it...

That shows the problem area... Any suggestions?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Toothfariy on 2006-04-24 at 18:51:53

it would look really cool if you took that whole side and made it a bridge fortress thing going into a waterfall. send me the map and ill show you what i mean

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-04-24 at 19:35:19

Er... I didnt make the whole side into the high-dirt to water, and I'm not sure what you mean. Anyway, I g2g...

Better than I can do.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-05-05 at 14:07:49

Alright, I made a whole bunch more on the same map, so here goes:

1) Yes, its a mirrored doodad but I thought it looked cool. 2/10

2) Looks even worse without fog of war

1/10

3) My bridge platform. Boxed area shows the biggest problem... 4/10 (for functionality)

4) I really need help with this... 1/10

5) Custom ramp blended into cave. Simple, but functional. 6/10

6) Same ramp, looking over old waterfall. Probably best of the 6. 7.5/10

Rate and comment please.

I especially like the fifth one, with the ramp blended into a cave. Really, you are making great progress! Keep up that speed. Personally I'm not a great supporter of waterfalls because everyone creates them

. But that's just me

Humpf, why does everyone starts rating when someone posts a picture of his terrain? Using words to explain how you think about it is twice as useful and you'll have a lower chance of people getting offended (now I think about it, certain people should ONLY use numbers and completely forgot about words, but that's another matter

Maybe its because people say "rate please" >.< That's why this time I said rate and comment.

Good work. You look like you're progressing really fast. The only thing i can say that i dont like other than what you pointed out yourself is on the cave-ramp hybrid, the shadow for the rock sprite looks really weird... Theres like a shadow and then a break, and another shadow. Idk if you can fix that, but its only a minor detail. Good luck on your next set of pieces...

(possibly move all of your pictures to the first page, cause some people dont go though all of the pages to see pictures.)

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Killer_Kow(MM) on 2006-05-06 at 11:09:29

No, I can't fix that

And where I said I really need help, I was actually asking for help. Is there any way to do the back high-dirt to water without the little brown corners?
