Hi everybody,I am releasing a new area prefab called Hidden Valley, based on Tolkien's Rivendale Valley.
I hope everybody will enjoy it as I enjoyed making it. I had some walkmesh problems with the decking tried fixing as much as
possible, still some spots that are strange but for the most part it works fine. I decided to use some of the
water fall effects that botu and moefx have created. Basically I broken down some of the effect into smaller
individual effects for easy extension and placement. For the walkmesh I used Placeable Walkmesh Helper version 0.3, by Zarathustra217.

I downloaded this long ago, and it's unfortunate to see a aesthetically pleasing and well thought out layout for this area prefab hasn't reached it's full potential, so here is my vote. _________________________ My Website: Link

Very good work. I enjoy this area. Few tweaks here and there, But overall great work. I wanted to explore more of this area, would be nice to have a path down that waterfall.

Nice area. I really like how you did the waterfalls. Good texture work too. Nice use of tree placeables.
The walkmesh could have used a little cleaning up though.
For the most part, very good work. _________________________ Ugly_Ducks Portfolio

This is an excellent area. The override folder is the only thing keeping it from being a ten, as far a prefabs go it's really wonderful... thanks
Hey Thanks JoeWM315 I'm glad you are enjoying the area.I too am a newbi and have lots to learn still.

Hey, man, just wanted to let you know I'm getting a lot of use out of your prefab area as a learning tool. I'm a toolset newb who is full of ideas for stories, but I want to make sure my toolset skills do those stories justice.
I even made a little halfling and wandered around your area for pure aesthetic value. I live in south Phoenix and needed a little nature walk, haha.
Thanks again! _________________________ "You see what happens, Larry??" -Walter Solchek

Gorgeous area. Builder clearly took time to plan and implement lots of great panoramic views for the player. I took some points off because the slightly smallish size constrains how practical it is for modbuilding - and if I tried to expand the area myself, the contrast in quality would be too glaring. =D Good work.
Hey, Thanks over_my_head makes me happy that you enjoyed the prefab and will be using it in your PW. I hope my skills improve with time as I continue making new areas and that all will enjoy.

Really an art of beauty, aadatepe, I really enjoyed walking around in this area and I will definatelly use it in my PW. You have really succeeded at creating an atmosphere in which beauty and comfort are combined and united into one little thing, this little hidden village. The size suits me perfectly, as I almost never create areas larger than 16x16. That way you can put more into your areas, without fear of lag, and you succeed at creating something such as this, a masterpiece. Thank you for this contribution, and I hope you will enjoy aswell as the PW maker, to see your area into work. The only thing I would change personally, are the streams. I found it a bit too 'humanish', if you know what I mean. It's like it has been carved by human-kind, and then built around. I prefer a more natural touch, but besides this small issue it is a work of art of which you can be pride. Yours sincrely,
Thanks SorceressAshura, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Getting the decking to work properly was tuff. I hope somebody in community will make some nice decking or areas like this. Just imagine standing on a wooden deck overlooking a valley with rolling green hills and a river as it meanders through.... I have enjoyed your special effects and Hope to see more. Thanks and Happy 4th.
Thks for your comments and vote Anniyden, will try to expand the are when I get some time. Just started on new prefab area looking to finish in a few weeks.
