Famous' Terrain Showcase

[FamousPker49]

Well, this is just my collection of terraining that I have done. So rather than just opening up a bunch of new threads all the time I will probably update this.

NOTE: By reading this document, you hereby agree to not hold FamousPker49, any of his other personalities, or any affiliated company, responsible for damage to your retinas. But you can hold him responsible for all the hot women you will get by showing them this terrain showcase.

 

[Belgarath]

They're all nice, but the eighth one could be a lot better. If you put in a matching sky and fog, and some grass variation as well as special features, it would be great. Personal favourites are 9th, 10th and the last four.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yeah, that was the one I did for Lordaeron Fall tileset, but I had so many problems with it. I really liked it, but I could never get the sky to work, and sometimes it would not show all of the doodads. But maybe I will see what I can do. I'm glad you like them.

 

[MasterHaosis]

I am impressed man with all but especially with thoose Demonic terrain Lava, Volcanos... Rep for this

 

[TheDivineBoss]

It's nice.

1) Do make the bridge at the lava scenes less black and more red since when you see that picture, you straight look at the bridge.
2) 13-15, looks rather empty, especially the grass mountain
3) Luv the tree

+rep

 

[FamousPker49]

Thank you, and I see what you mean with the bridge and didn't notice until you pointed it out.

 

[FamousPker49]

Added W.I.P. Screenie.
Vlad's Castle.

 

[Gilles]

Looks cool, but it needs more atmosphere. The environment doesn't seem real enough.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yeah, I was just basically outlining the castle, which I think I'm basically done with, I think I have a pretty good idea of waht to do with the rest of it though... And yeah, I didn't do so much for environment

 

[FamousPker49]

Hmm... Sorry it's been a while, I did the updates a while ago, uploading them now.

 

[Tawsix]

Well I think most of it is pretty good, sometimes there seems to be a lack of environmental doodads, but other than that it looks pretty inspired. Well done!

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Yes, add more details pl0x.

 

[FamousPker49]

So do you guys like the gray or red sky? And some more images... Pls comment.

 

[~Void~]

Last 2 = +rep
The last castle ones are great, too.

 

[FamousPker49]

Thanks. I'm glad you like them. The last one is supposed to be a time warp, or at least something like that. That's what I started with in my head.

 

[~Void~]

It looks like the WTF bomb went off
In a good way, of course.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yeah, I agree with that too. I kind of like it that way.

 

[43berries]

Some of these are beautiful, but some are just random shit placed together with pretty lights or a non-consistent dodad choice.

 

[FamousPker49]

But... Who doesn't like pretty lights? Lol. Point taken. Gawsh. And these are not all necessarily in chronological order. The disco-ish thing is a little lame IMO. Lol.

 

[cortezz]

I love your work it so very amazing well done Nine and ten are my favorite. I would love to see the terrain for the map. Could you please upload it into here? I would so very thankful

 

[NSBaller17]

Between the red or gray sky, i would have to say gray, looks creepier
but the second to last is awesome

 

[FamousPker49]

Updated, added river of styx.

 

[I)eadnerzhul]

That last one is... well... REALLY REALLY FUNNY! I don't know why, but it just makes me laugh... anyways, good job! Oh, and how did you get the units to be upside-down and sideways?

 

[FamousPker49]

Added the river styx with blue flames, the gungan city, and my interpretation of "The Road Less Traveled."

 

[FamousPker49]

Finally A New Piece Of Terrain!

A mountaineer stumbles upon an epic city in the sky, seeming to be built upon the clouds...

 

[VampireHeart]

lol when i saw the boat ride to hell... first thought:

"Its a small world after all, Its a small world after all..."

 

[Candyapplecorn]

jesus christ i didn't know terrain could look that good

 

[FamousPker49]

It can't. But thanks lol.

Updates!

 

[wet_water]

Your skills never cease to amuse me. Very nice, the outlandish lava ones are my favorites. +rep

 

[gavdaman88]

The river styx is one of the most incredible terrains I've ever seen.....

definitely +rep dude
Keep it up!

 

[FamousPker49]

Added another screen, a mystic forest with a wise tree.

 

[Gilles]

I like it! Not only is it a good terrain, it made me chuckle.

+rep

 

[FamousPker49]

My favorite part... Are his eyebrows. But thanks! This was one of my faster terrains. At least it felt like it.

 

[Childeric]

Dude, that wish tree, is just toooo awesome. A rep cookie for you sir.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, added the Nightmare tree,
"It is said that a once proud and powerful race of wizards lived, so powerful that it seeped into the land, then they all dissapeared, and magic left unchecked... Goes rampant."

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Yet another that owns me at terraining D:
+rep

 

[FamousPker49]

Lol. Well I'm glad you people like these. And another
"What a night for the lighthouse to be out.."

EDIT: I want your feedback, what terrain/type of piece have I not really done here, for example: A Forest terrain ( I have done) I just want to do something I haven't done really yet.

 

[Gilles]

Ireland. I've tried a few times without luck.

 

[FamousPker49]

Ireland? Luck? Gilles, are you yanking my chain?
But I'll look at some pics from Ireland.
And HT mentioned I have not done pr0n terrain. I totally will!

 

[Naze]

Your Wise Tree terrain deserved rep.

 

[MasterStryke]

wise tree? my opinion about this pic is: there are to less plants on the ground... it's little bit boring and dead..
but the background looks good and the mist+light are nice too

 

[communist_orc]

Hey, Luv you work!!!! Do u just use the editor/ sceenshots or do you use a graphics program like Photoshop to add final touches?

 

[Gilles]

wise tree? my opinion about this pic is: there are to less plants on the ground... it's little bit boring and dead..
but the background looks good and the mist+light are nice too

It's not dead at all. There is quite a bit of vegetation, the perfect amount in fact. Any more would be spam.

 

[ghenjis]

It's clear that the terrain gets better and better as more shots are added. You're making great progress as a terrainer. You are working well with the potential you have. =) Keep it up, can't wait to see what you make some time from now.

 

[Craka_J]

Most of these terrains are good. But your main weakness is that you seem to make one area well terrained - the main focus of the image - and then the rest is pretty plain around it. Also, all of your terrains have the same camera angle! How about some angles from a little higher. Not asking for a birds eye view, but the horizon cameras are getting old.

~Craka_J

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, I have some terrains lined up, but haven't been able to get on the comp where I can terrain. But thanks guys.

@Craka_J You're getting old! Jk. But I see what you mean, and I'll see what I come up with.

Thanks for all the coments! Oh, and I Do NOT use photo editors.

 

[Craka_J]

I hate it when terrainers use photoshop or another program to enhance the look of their terrain image. Even for small effects like light on water. It's the easy way out in my opinion. 2-P is a terrainer who does it a lot, I believe. MadseN is able to make the effects in WarCraft III without ever needing photoshop. NEVER EDIT YOUR TERRAIN IMAGE TO LOOK COOL.

In this case, I am refering to your terrain with the light on the water.

~Craka_J

 

[Naze]

Hey Craka, wasn't that a light doodad added on water?

That's what I thought.

 

[Craka_J]

Y'know... now that I look at it more, you may be right. And if it really is doodads and not a special art effect you added by editing the image, very awesome job for creativity and realism. Definitely a great idea!

~Craka_J

 

[FamousPker49]

Craka, it is fog doodads or glow, I forget, but they are squished and stacked. It was just a demo terrain I was doing, because I believe Belgarath had asked on a thread about how to do that, and that's what I came up with.
Oh, and more terrains.
