Help me Build a 3D Landscape with Your Ideas.

Archive: 10 posts


I love 3D modelling but have a hard time finding the motivation to make something. I tried a 3D request thread once but it didn't work for me. Recently I've wanted to try out making a fantasy landscape, something from the likes of Oblivion IV.

A landscape would let me update regularly instead of having to show a final product as per my old thread, so I be able to stay motivated. I need ideas though, the more challenging the better, since I running out of my own and I want to try and go outside my 3D modelling comfort zone.

It'll be a bit slower than other art threads since 1. I'll be working in 3D and 2. I'll also be making all my own textures.

Here's what I've started off with, it's not much I know and it still needs work done, but it's a start none-the-less.

Let there be valleys of green grass as far as the eye can see, so that the Ponies of Pony Ville can set up Apple trees atop said valleys.2011-02-19 05:41:00

Not sure whether to take this seriously or not, but it's a good challenge anyway so I'll do it. Not as far as the eye can see though, I'll be sticking some mountains in to hide the horizon, my poor computer would be running for days to render valleys that big.

Here's a li'l something similar I did.

Yes they are giant speakers embedded in the ground

No problem

Since you mentioned water though I'll try and make a type of water texture, that could be interesting (by which I mean possibly very frustrating)

I'd like to see rolling hills, with a few houses here and there. With fields of wheat and corn where the villagres grow their crops.

And a windmill. Definitely.
