WIP Cartoon level (UDK)

special821

Hi,

I'm currently studying in 3d arts and hope to be an environment artist. Not so long ago, for an exam, I had to make a small map in UDK that would be cartoonish, after finishing this, I decided to continue working on this, so now I would like to get some opinions on my map so far, what I could add or change, but also what I did good.
So here are the links, please read the description of each video, it summarizes well.

I love the look of the Half Lambert shader you got there. it looks amazing on the trees.
but the water is kinda distracting and you might tune down the saturation of that abit.

I agree with Viceral, the shader looks great on the level except for the water. Its too saturated and with the shader applied to the level it makes the water look out of place. Otherwise, nice work

Yeah, I was thinking of adding some grass around the base of the trees, also, would it look nice to maybe replace some of the trees by giant flowers (that would look like the yellow ones, maybe just change the color, or a wgole new mesh?) 'cause I feel there may be too many trees and they feel a little overwhelming.
anyway, thanks for the comments, I'll go adjust my water so it looks better!

Ok, so I'm trying to add a foliage Factory in udk and it just messes up my mesh, there is absolutely no way i'll place all that grass manually. Can someone help me on this?
