Bear in mind it is far from finished. So here is a list of things I plan to add to the level: Buildings (my level designer is working on an old type town to place) Decent vegetation (grass, weeds, it needs some work before I get it right) Bloom shader (I may implement this, it's just that I'm not totally happy with the different blooms I have now - some brighten too much, some blur too much...) A better water shader (The ones I have now I am not happy with) Terrain normalmapping (If I can get it looking right on my level!) The main reason I am posting this is because I want some C&C on how to improve the terrain I have atm, so please, C&C. Without further ado, here are the screens: Thanks to Loopix for the trees!

There really isn't that much to see here, lol your standards are higher than mine. Check out my site http://foxzero.net My band's website http://wolf-hybrid.net R.I.P. Dave Williams

I did notice that there is a lot space on this island... you should fill it with rocks and some debree. Keep up the good work Devon S.D.S.D.inc.

Terrains pretty bland right now, but I suppose with buildings it will look good. However, the cliffs look too round... Jimmy died, today, he blew his brains out into the bay, in the state of mind, its my own private suicide. A stitch in time saves nine... what the hell does that mean?!?

Rocks I guess are also on the to-do list, forgot to put that in (I've got to block one of the passages with rocks, you have to go around it.

I've never really used it (I've never found a need to, ), but from what I've seen and heard, it's a great spawning tool for vegetation and the like. Code: void main() { cout << "I am MrCode,"; cout << "hear me roar!"; system("PAUSE"); }

A pixel shader might help to get a more realistic lighting. Besides that the terrain needs shadows to look more realistic particularly under the trees. Models, Textures and Games from Dexsoft
