Now this would make a really nice swamp tileset

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know in some communities people would be like keep dreaming, but the fact is that I know a few of you could really make a tileset that would look pretty dang close to this.

Mine was very bare, going for the textbook description of the high moors in FR where there isn't really a lot around, just rolling hills covered in moss, muck, monsters, and every nook and cranny filled with sinky moisture. Trolls everywhere.

What I want to construct are some Canadian Muskegs

Ever since I accidentally found one in the Michigan UP

I like the 2nd one.

The 2nd swamp picture you posted look's more realistic and I like the looks of it. 

 

 

However at the same time I really like fantasy looking places as well. Which is one of the many reasons I like the moving Avatar.

 

Here is another really nice looking picture of a fantasy swamp village.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: If I ever get to the point where I will build a hole tileset this is the kind of tileset I could see myself building.

you know that 2nd one you posted 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would really match up well with the tileset I'm working on.  I started working on a mountain tileset and T0r0's rural addon is going to be a big part of it. But I'm going for all pine trees, rocks, bushes, flowers, and so on. So I really think a swamp that looks like the picture above would go well with it.

 

It would be nice if the ground was flat like the rural tileset. It could have raised areas using hills or a tile could be raised in the center to make the ground look more bumpy. I just don't like tilesets like the Mountain Forest tileset. Don't get me wrong it looks very nice. But because all the tiles are low in the center edges and raised on the corners really screws people up like my self when wanting to do addons or mix and match tiles from other haks.

One of the things I greatly dislike about the rural set is that the ground is perfectly flat on almost every tile. I feel like it's a set based on Nebraska. What I found I really liked about the (Coniferous) Mountain Forest set was that the corners being slightly higher than the edge middles , and yet again different from the center of the tile, on every single tile, gave it a great effect of hiding the seams and the squareness of the set. That's something I really worked on for the unfinished black hills set I was doing last year, naked as it is. I found that noise added a great deal of realism, even if the noise was actually a pattern you could find easily if you looked. The Mountain Forest set has a kind of egg carton feel to it if you put too many of the same tiles together, but with the variety of tiles, combined with the height transition, it gets kind of cancelled out and really adds to the flavor.

Don't get me wrong I understand what your saying and I think doing what your saying makes really nice eye candy. But I'm just looking at it from a new and/or inexperienced builder point of view.

 

This is why I have been working on picking out tiles that dip/has indents in the middle of them or that raise up in the middle of them. Then when I take these tiles adn add in raised and lower ground combined with 3d grass well I for one think it looks darn nice. While still leaving it easy to work with for addons or mix matching of tiles from different haks for future builders.

 

 

I want it to look as nice and noisy as possible, but keep it easy for future builders. Sometimes things can look really nice but not get used much because of how difficult it can be for others to work with. Plus who wants to use one or two tilesets that look far better then all the other tilesets you are using. I for one want all my tilesets to blend well with one another. This is one of the things I think " Zwerkules " has done really well with his Medieval City and Rural/mountain tilesets. They blend really well together. Which is why I'm working on blending the forest and rural tilesets together. Plus the really nice thing about standard tileset reskin/addons allows players to use them when playing the hundreds of old adventures that are just laying around on the Vault.

 

 

Although for me there isn't enough standard tilesets. I want a low land forest and rural tileset. Then I want a mountain grass lands with a few pine trees here and there along with a thick pine tree forest. I also want all 4 of these tilesets to have grass, rocks, shrubs, bushes, trees, flowers, and anything else I can think of without having to use a placeable. I think most people would enjoy these kinds of tilesets, just not the hard core placeable builders.

 

Another tileset I would love to have would be a barbaric village/town tileset. Something with stone, logs, wood, thatch, wood shingles, rocks/boulders, trees, paths, bushes, shrubs, weeds, flowers, 3d grass, crude stone steps, and what ever else I can think up. Villages/towns that can be build on the open grassy plains or on a mountainous hill side. 

 

Well that is just my thoughts any how.
