Howdy,
I am in the process of trying to create an Fantasy outdoor scene. By Fantasy I just mean a couple of “fantasy” type village buildings. That will sit in a valley. Maybe a river running somewhere. I also have an orc character that I want to build a little camp area for in a smaller valley alittle ways from the human village.
I am using a hieghtmap for the base of the terrain and am currently trying to learn how to create decent trees, foliage, and rocks.
I wouldn’t mind some help if someone wanted to work with me. Or come up with their own areas.
I am looking for more of a photo realistic look. Actually I think Fable is about the look I am going for, is that more of the photo realistic look? I don’t remember it being too cartoony like Warcraft.
I am going for low poly as well.
Why am i using a hieghtmap? Dunno. I don’t really know what I am doing. This wil be my first environment. I just thought it was a quick and easy way to get the basic terrain that I want, and then tweak it where I want. Is this a bad idea?
The “average human hieght” is 6 units, so the final product will need to be scaled to that size.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
