Hello, modcraft. I and Axel0099 decided to write an article about creating the terrain, texturing and so on. As it's supposed to be a big article including step by step guide for each style of mountains we will update the thread from time to tiime, so don't forget to check it.
Now a few words about each type.

Northrend style moutains.



Scholozar style mountains. (Hard to create)





Scholozar style mountains 2. (Hard to create)



Durotar cliffs. (Easy)



Barrens style mountains. (Hard to texture)



Tanaris style mountains.



Silitus style mountains.



Elwynn forest style mountains.



Random mountains from Azeroth coasts.

I recently wrote an article about WoW mountains, but it's written in french and I don't have the motivation to translate it all.
( http://allifeur-mapping.blogspot.fr/201 ... s-wow.html Here is the link, but it will be useless if you can't understand french )

 I would like to say that there is not only one "Northrend style mountains", in fact, there are a lot of different kinds of mountains within Northrend itself.

 About Gilneas Style : I tried to make one mountain like that, but we're currently missing the tool on Noggit that could allow us to make it. We would need a flattener tool which could define a degree and a direction. Without this tool, it takes a ridiculous amount of time.
 Plus, you'll have to work every mountain with a color gradient : The lower part has to be dark, and the upper part has to be "white"

 You should add several kinds of mountains tutorial, like Howling Fjord's mountains, Grizzlyhills mountains, etc... Or even Mop and Cataclysm's styles of mountains.  :D

Grmbl, I want it !  :cry:

 And about your durotar mountains, they are still too clean. If you look closer at Durotar, you'll see that there are some details that you have forgotten, like some dirt at some points. Someone who doesn't care about details would believe that those mountains are from Durotar, but they are not perfect yet for me.
