Ion Storm

[johannesr]

This is probably the most epic scale terrain i've ever done, to the extent that all the stuff on the map made the ground all glitchy and crashed my WE once...
(does the nametag thingy fit btw?)

Enjoy!
EDIT: Added new version

 

[Maker]

Very nice. I love the sky.

I'd like to see a version where the foliage on the foreground isn't so dark.

 

[Skycraft]

Very nicely done.

The only downfall (for me, personally) I seem to have with it is that the trees in the middle may seem a little.. over-populated. Just might be me though.
Aside from that, great work!

 

[Koeky]

wow...
just wow...

Extravagantly beautiful terrain. Truely.
- And so exactly to my likings and taste.

There are only minor details that I'd like to see changed. For one, I honestly think you should try out a darker fog, not very much darker, but dark enough so that the darkness of the fog makes the mountains in the background compliment the skies, rather than contrast them. Then, I don't exactly know what, but something about the furthest to the left mountain, the pillar-like one, just doesn't seem right. Possibly that is due to its build, you could try adding some more "flesh" to it, if you get my drift.

Lastly, I'd like to see some more variation in the grassy bit of the center foreground, what exactly I do not know, but just something to fuck up that "repetetive" feel I get when I gaze upon it.

Apart from those small details, I love this terrain

In addition to what Keiji said, I'd recommend lifting the camera up just slightly to show less foreground. Otherwise splendid.

 

[johannesr]

Hmm, i'll do some changes on the weekend, gonna be busy tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback!

{EDIT, 21st May 3 PM}
Okay, made an update.

 

[frostloh]

The atmosphere and skies that you make are all unbelievable. I'd probably go mad trying to figure out how to make one half as good as yours. Are they made from UTM doodads or ones that you made yourself?

 

[johannesr]

I haven't made any models myself, everything is from UTM, hives model section or B2M's high res pack.

 

[PROXY]

This looks so fucking amazing ^^

Seriously, I love it. It's really one kind of a beauty.

 

[2-P]

Neaty neat neat.

 

[Celaquil]

Now thats simply beautiful.

Finally figured out that ball's made from one of those planet models...quite creative. How long did it take you to make that sky and background? I think it's the most impressive part of the terrain.

Well i worked on the whole terrain for about 4 days, maybe 3-4 hours each day.

 

[Oziris]

I see what you've done here.
Rotated the cloud model for the brown background clouds.
The aurora is made out of nabula models.
A lot of stars which were raised in front of the camera on the ground which is hidden by the invisible tiles!
And glows, here and there.
A very neat trick with the clouds, I like it! And I also like how the trees blend Good job my man!

 

[L2love]

That explains a lot better the only thing I was wondering was the aurora as Oziris mentioned.

 

[johannesr]

@Oziris You're mostly right, except the stars are the skycylinder version of http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/night-sky-moon-skybox-171715/ (this saved alot of time, not having to raise stars...) and the electric looking stuff are simply wave models

 

[Oziris]

Ahh, very cool! Will come useful next time I make a terrain. And now that you mentioned that those are wave models, it looks clearer to me now

 

[Celaquil]

Damn bloody inventive. The waves, that is.

On an unrelated note: There are ways to dodge the raindrops, kokookacho.

 

[Skycraft]

The update is a marvel!

What?

 

[fladdermasken]

I actually figured this one out by myself, I've tried that in a terrain before. Didn't manage as well though

 

[M0rbid]

in love with this and your other recent works... great, keep them coming

 

[thedeathunterxx]

dang terrains are getting crazier! omg this is sweet.

 

[johannesr]

Made photoshopped version

 

[Rui]

Outstanding. How exactly did you do the sky?

 

[johannesr]

Wow admin giving me repz, thank you ^^

Do you mean the normal version or shopped one?

 

[Rui]

The normal version, though if you'd like to explain what you did in the shopped one, go ahead, I could really use some advices, I'm terrible in the artistic department ;P

 

[johannesr]

The stars are the skycylinder version of http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/night-sky-moon-skybox-171715/, then theres some different colored nebula models and glows and the electric looking stuff are wave models.
I don't remember most of the stuff i did on the shopped one , but i did add a couple of renders to it.

 

[Adiktuz]

this is so cool... I love the feel of it... ^_^

 

[SuperElement]

The update is breathtaking.
