Post subject:  Your opinion on my custom terrain. I need feedback, damn it.

I made two types of snow, normal and compact, and now there's ice as well, and I was just looking for some feedback, constructive criticism, etc. Feel free to point out anything odd, or anything you would change.
If you think you need a scene to test them out, just tell me, and I'll make a quick one.
Slapped together a quick scene. It's got a block of each, with sand for comparison, and a pit with it.

Changelog
  • Added Ice
  • Redid Snow and Compact Snow
  • Made a slightly different scene
    [*}Made ice more blue/white?[/list]

Feedback please.

Well they show - they're just blank white for me. Or maybe transparent, I'm not sure.

If I were you, I'd add a bit of color to the snow, just one or two shades off from pure white, or some tiny details in the main snow.

Slapped together a quicky.
Also, it is a few shades off. It needs to be a few more apparently.

Hrmm...I wonder why it doesn't work in-game.

Really? What error? I just tried it, and it worked fine on mine. It was just slapped together, but I made sure everything was in the right place.

White squares and spray paint tools don't work together. Put a snowy texture on top of your white square and paint over that. Use more than two colors.

Is that for both? I though the compact snow was decent. :???:

Both, yes. The compact snow does look better, but it doesn't look like snow. Try working a texture into it all.

I mean it didn't work for me. I an see the graphics in my browser, but in-game it's just...white squares. The compact snow had none of that texture you made.

It worked for me this time, and the textures look okay. I have no clue why it wasn't working before.

The ice texture is what would be the worst ice texture I've ever seen, make it bluer, glossier/shinier, and give it a white-ish tint.
What you have it a total pile of hish-hashed ♥♥♥♥.

Hand slaps ( high-fives ) for the rest of the textures.

Just to clarify, you want more blue, but then tone it down with white, and then make it shiny? I'll try. Thanks for the hand slap though :D
