I have nothing to post... but i want to complain about the visuals on blizzards ladder maps. I've noticed alot of areas ( im thinking the mains of Nazarim Crypt specificaly ) where the textures are downright slopy.

Blizzard should just have us decorate maps :D

Waste time for these maps? Do not want! :D

all i really have to show off is my SC2BW Destination, i recently imported terrain textures from SC1 and used them. trying to recreate it as accurately as possible. i was suprised the textures actually look pretty good in sc2.

Oh wow, they do. Hope to be seeing some of this in future maps!

Three screenshots of one of my custom texture sets (read: not map, just 64x64 to create a style for a future map).

Three teaser shots from a map which I, Johanaz and other TPW guys are working on.
Unfortunately it will not be finished in time for MotM #9

Not close to finished doodad and texture wise, there are even a few spots in these images which has to be remade/added upon.

Been missing this thread for some time now!
Here's a little part of my ongoing 4player-project I'm working on.

Note, It's not fully completed yet but I'm planning to do make all side cliffs like that.

in case you have minimal knowledge of a 3d program then build some extra models for your cliff decoration. the doodads look strongly scaled up and hence have blurred textures. otherwise very nice stylisticly. make sure the player know where the are going. high detailed deco spots should not take away focus from gameplay and should be well integrated at the same time, sothat they do not jump in your face, because the rest is rather simply decorated

I just want to add this. I think WniO's texture work on Novaria is amazing. Making so diverse textures blend together so perfectly is an art.

The last picture of Winio's, the one with the blue rocky island and red, misty background...

How the did he get the rocks like that? Custom doodads? It looks amazing.

There are 2 variations of Rubble that look like that. I believe all of those are just rubble that have been scaled and warped and rotated. Nice effect.
