Train scene -> awesome
Beach scene -> think it still needs some love
 
I don't remember what the beach scene looked like originally, but my knowledge of beaches tells me the lines should be PARALLEL to the waves rather than perpendicular.

This is the original=/ The sand looks realy strange....

having just completed that battle, i can agree that the original looks strange. I think the stretching of the original masked the strangeness, as is the case with man of the battle scenes.

I'd just flip the sand to run the correct way. I agree with staying true to the original as much as possible, but sometimes concessions should be made for the sake of common sense.

Maybe its not meant to be a sandy beach. You could make it a rocky beach, or a mix of rock sand and dirt/mud/clay/sand. Look around industrial areas to see what I mean.
 
How about this sand?

Well if you look at it carefully it's a sunset beach setting. IE the beach at sunset. The angle of the sun at that time is close to the zero angle (angle at which anything and everything reflects off a surface). This creates some unusual visual effects on the beach surface. I believe that was what the original creators of the scene were trying to do. Beach sunset with weird sea creature I guess?

Now that you meantion it, you are probably right.
The first sand colour was right all the time, the montains and the sea just need to be toned to a sunset tone (darker?  :|)
 
WIP (skybox not completed and transparency bugs present):

I think it needs more trees in the background (smaller so they are far away type thing) the giant gap in between the two trees in the middle is to large.

Just my two cents

I see you said the sky box isn't finished yet. Ignore me :D
 
Final:

There are trees in the skybox, but you can see them only when the battle starts and the camera zooms from above=)
 
Nice work, that battle scene was probably one of the worst looking ones in the game.
 
To me, it looks a bit that the bushes have too "hot" colors in relation to the trees (or the other way around).
Just my opinion tho.
 
i agree with nightmarish, the bushes look a bit to saturated, i would decrease the brightness a bit and up the contrast a hair to even them out. As far as overall design goes, your spot on.

I wish i had the know how to help out with this project, it would be pretty cool to have my own battle scene lol, nevermind though ill leave it to the pros
