and this is supposed to be?

 

[43berries]

It's a gate way to the astral plane (Etheric plane) through the death of a man and a tree.

 

[Direfury]

Isn't this...The terrain board?

 

[LordHunter]

I don't know why you don't like it looks very cool imo.
You can hardly tell it's warcraft ^^

 

[43berries]

Isn't this...The terrain board?

Don't be a wanker. Terrain could be anything, this is my perspective of a dimensional space and time that's beyond four dimensions, my crude depiction of a hyper-spherical existence of time and space.

He's not, he doesn't think this is wc3. That's how good of a job you did I suppose!

It's cool looking for sure. I give rep for this!

 

[43berries]

My apologies for misinterpretation and thanks. I tried my hardest to make it look somewhat tripy and unique.

 

[PurgeandFire]

How did you make it?

 

[43berries]

Well i used the ultimate terrain pack as a template. Then removed sky, used cloud ambient models to stack, then pulled the camera far into the ground and then reversed back up to look straight up. Then I used the stars to produce that effect and massed the middle to make it look like that. Then I used custom light sources to add the finishing touch. Do you like it?

 

[PurgeandFire]

Yup, it looks great. It actually looks like a piece of artwork.

 

[43berries]

why thank you, i take pride in that 8 minute rush

 

[Parkietje]

This is quite some awesomeness. This deserves some +rep for sure.
And for the ppl out there that don't think this is a ''real terrain'', well maybe it isn't but it is an artwork for sure, if you don't like it go away.

great job

 

[43berries]

XD thanks.. You know I was trying to replicate those screens from The Fountain.

 

[CMarket]

What Fountain are you talking about?

BTW This is awsome.

 

[~Void~]

Cloud spheres + SFX, not photoshop.

 

[43berries]

The movie, The Fountain, look it up.

 

[MrBimbo]

Wow.. I thought that was from the movies or something xD. Superb. Okay, as you know, I'll talk to you online Phil! Great job. Your terrain is phenomenal.

 

[skeptis]

pretty cool lookin

 

[43berries]

Thank you, I got one problem, I couldn't make it looking like a nebula, realistically and I tried making it goldish colour but didn't work out so well.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hey Abstract Terrain,I like this terraining category,you need a boost to understand what it really means.

 

[Oziris]

Wow cant belive this

 

[43berries]

Wow cant belive this

Thank you?

Hey Abstract Terrain,I like this terraining category,you need a boost to understand what it really means.

What do you mean man?

 

[NearbyHermit]

What do I mean,usually normal terrain is with trees ,houses ,a very incredible made artefact or statuete.But abstract terrain is like something that never beats to your eye,at first.Isnt a nebula abstract?

And about your attitude,quit being such a pain in the neck,the terrain is good but it could of been better,my oppinion.

 

[43berries]

sorry ive been sick lately, not a good mood

 

[Magical_Spoon]

thats really good, i couldnt tell it was warcraft at all really, you are truly skilled in otherworldly trippy designs, wow.

 

[43berries]

Thanks, you do this kind of terrain too?

 

[NearbyHermit]

sorry ive been sick lately, not a good mood

All my apologise,and good job with the terrain

 

[43berries]

all is good ^_^ and thanks

 

[Naze]

OMG, I missed this terrain!

I'm the last one who saw it! This is not usual.

Well, they said everything that was needed above.


Very cool terrain... or... abstract terrain or....

whatever, it looks good.

[NearbyHermit]

If I would have Photoshop installed at this PC,I would show you some terrain samples

 

[43berries]

You use photo shop with your terrains?..

 

[NearbyHermit]

Indeed,if I want to make an art gallery.It improves the quality and variation

But for normal terrain presentation,I just convert my terrain pics from tga to jpg.And that is were photoshop enters

 

[43berries]

Well I don't like photo editing in the sense of manipulating the original image. All those pictures you see were actual 100% pure.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I know,a photo edit is visible to the naked eye

 

[43berries]

Not exactly... There's so many ways to edit your photo and make it unnoticeable but yet believable in the sense all you used was wc3 editor.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Indeed,but you cannot edit a unit/dood that is in the terrain and fool an expert such as Rui that the unit/dood is actuall from the Editor

 

[43berries]

Mmm you have a point there, that's a blind spot of photo shopping though, you can't do units, it's all the little altercations that could be done that all add up to a cleaner picture which seemed as if it wasn't edited. That was what I was trying to say.

 

[~Void~]

If you use the burn tool or dodge tool you can get lighting effects. But they often come out really bad. Not saying I use this or anything

 

[43berries]

some times it works, sometimes it doesnt

 

[NearbyHermit]

Good,you could also use effects as doodads,flip them upside down,resize them ,merge them together

 

[43berries]

Wait what?... You can flip dodads?

 

[Celaquil]

Awesom terrain! And YEAH, can you flip doodads?!

 

[Gilles]

Roll value. Simply play around with negative values. Hold shift, then hit the roll value. It will allow you to input negatives.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hold shift while you double-click the value,it will permit you to introuce '' -minus'' this way you could make aura or spells that reduce or things like these,and yes you can flip doodads by adding a negative degree.

Example = - 90 degrees make your doodad lay down on the ground

 

[43berries]

Thanks alot! :3

 

[NearbyHermit]

Dont mention it,hopefully,this little advice will bring more fabulous terrain,keep it on!

 

[Spudnik]

Dude everytime I lokk at those pictures, which I do at least once a day, I can only say WOW. I haven't seen such good and original terrain in a a long time! Most people just make a landscpe but you've taken terraining one step further. Keep it up!

 

[43berries]

thanks! XD I need inspiration to do more shit like that

 

[NearbyHermit]

Anymore terraining,comming up next?
