Legendary Terrains

[FamousPker49]

I agree with [Death], I think the underground forzen place is cooler than the frozen throne, although they are both good terrains. I think there was more creativity in the underground cave, and therefore gets my metaphorical vote. So how does everyone feel about limiting the images of people, because Void and [Death] make good points...

 

[~Void~]

I say compromise and limit the images to ~3. I agree many people have more than one type of great terrain but I fear that we will get too many requests for the more well-known terrainers at the hive and not so many for the others like 2-P and Tassadoom.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, that sounds good. I'll start sorting some of this out.

 

[Belgarath]

Use hidden tags for each of the persons. Then put something like #1 - Caption with a link. Caption would be replaced of course.

 

[Onelord]

Nice Terrains! Anyone Wanna learn me terrain like that?

 

[Gilles]

Onelord, you are your best teacher. Go practice. Look at other peoples terrain for inspiration and to get a general idea of what looks good.

 

[Wolfybeker]

i have some ok terrain I"ve terrained for a while but i just joined hive mine doesnt compare to MadseN but its ok but can any1 tell me how to get a screenshot of my work and post?

 

[Gilles]

Hit Print Screen on your keyboard. Open up paint and paste it in there. Crop and save as jpeg. Then upload it here using the advanced options for posting.

 

[Oziris]

Do i get credit in the first post = ( becous this was my idea.

 

[~Void~]

I think the point of this thread is not the thread itself but the terrains listed in it...

 

[Wolfybeker]

k thnx gilles +rep I'll upload some in a sec

wait so i have the terrain in paint how do i get it here?

 

[PurgeandFire]

You go to file>save and then attach it to a post in a new thread in this forum. Using this:

in the post toolbar or the "Manage Attachments" at the bottom of the page.

Nice terrains, but it is "Corexx" not Cortexx (Crash Bandicoot is awesome btw)

And 2-P's was obviously Photoshopped, I don't think it is his best. xD

 

[2-P]

Oh you... wait till I get my hands on you... I'll photoshop your head off. oO

 

[~Void~]

2-P we all know you use photoshop. But you do a damn good job with it, and only for lighting and filters, so it doesn't bother me, it only bothers me when people draw stuff on terrains, because that just looks stupid.

Take some of my terrain :-(

Was that sarcasm? I honestly don't know, because 2-P doesn't use Photoshop.

 

[Belgarath]

I think void meant it. But from what I've seen of 2-P, they don't look photoshopped.

((mine liek totally do, i attachd an uxampl. but u cnt c it cuz ov mai capshions.))

I'm not so sure those are quite good enough yet. I don't have one up here either, but I suggest you wait and keep practicing. This is supposed to be the best of the best.

Edit: In Zurg's the mountains look photoshopped. Could just be me, but they don't quite seem right.
If that's the case, I think we should ban any photoshopped material from this thread.

And is that all we can get for beam? It's not very good, but from what I hear he is quite good.

Looking at some of these, man I really disagree. There are some not-so-great terrains in here.

 

[Belgarath]

Custom sky, Gilles. I said that before here. Yeah, this thread IS sort of disappointing ...

Well I dislike the mountains. Custom skies are alright if used properly. As in just clouds and sky, no mountains or other "objects".

 

[~Void~]

He said at thehelper.net that he did. Now that I look back at it I'm not sure whether that was sarcasm or not.

 

[Serbianbeast]

you haven't included madsen's flying castle (that asian like castle, flying on some sort of rock with waterfalls around it), and my terrains ofc ^^ just kidding, thread is great

 

[Belgarath]

Needs more high res. There was one thread that B2M posted here at the hive, lemme find it...
Here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?p=276779
Also: Post single screenshots, not galleries. Remember that

 

[~Void~]

I don't like that one too much actually. It's not his best. I think the temple of artemis and the frozen throne are his absolute best ones.

 

[Belgarath]

The frozen throne, yes, it probably is Madsen's best. Also, the Industrial city - just for a change.
Also, just about mine, I really don't think that's one of my best ...

 

[Gilles]

I think there are too many. If I were running this show, there would be like 10.

Ones that I think should be taken out:
-Infrane. Not sure how that made it, it's not amazing at all.
-Born2Modificate. It's good, but not Legendary.
-Take out one of [Death]'s. Only one per person.
-Ghenjis... not sure. It's nice showing that huge collection, but I'd chose one. Maybe the Saruon one.
-AgentSmith. Again, not sure who put him there.
-Blitzkreige. Another non-legendary.
-Only one of MadseN.
-Evading Self. Good, but not great.
-2-P was a bad choice. He has so many better ones.
-Beam. I hear he was good, but that image was not. No point in having it in here.
-Gitlich, not sure. it's pretty good though. I might leave that.
-Killer_Mushroom, no. It's kind of cool, but not Legendary cool.


Well that's my humble opinion.

 

[Belgarath]

That's 100% true. But, a bit above ten - 15 tops.

 

[~Void~]

And put the bloody Radiant terrain up for me, not the dawn -.-

 

[Gilles]

No no, the dawn is your best imo.

 

[Belgarath]

Yeah, dawn is a lot better than your radiant, IMO.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hmm... not to sound mean or anything Famous, but that's not how you spell my name...

Anyway, I am inclined to agree with Gilles' observations. Some of the posted terrains really aren't legendary/good examples of the author's abilities.

 

[~Void~]

Put them both up then, madsen has 3

 

[Gilles]

No, I already said we should take down two.

 

[Naze]

Madsen has an youtube movie... what do you think of giving a link to it?

 

[Gilles]

Nope. There's already a thread for links to good galleries.

 

[ghenjis]

As far as limiting goes, I think that this is "Legendary Terrains" not "Legendary Terrainers". This thread is meant to inspire, no? Why limit it to names and titles. If it serves the purpose of this thread then it should be put up, regardless of how many of that terrainer's shots are up.

 

[Gilles]

True. You've altered my opinion. Although MadseN has so many, no need to put them all up.

 

[[Death]]

True. You've altered my opinion. Although MadseN has so many, no need to put them all up.

Err, ghenjis's (and my) point was that screenshots should be put up regardless of name. Removing MadseN's screenshots because he already has some up is not accomplishing that.

Here is a suggestion: Instead of putting a link leading to the terrain with the author's name (a list of links generally looks very ugly anyway), have a thumbnail of the terrain itself. Not only does this make the post look better, it removes the author's name. We shouldn't care about who made which. The terrains themselves are what matter.

 

[Gilles]

Good point. I would suggest that or hidden tags with full sized images.

 

[Serbianbeast]

And there's still no madsen's flying castle picture

 

[Gilles]

13LUR's one here is a must.

 

[Belgarath]

Woah. 100% agreed.

 

[Naze]

(...) or hidden tags with full sized images.

Please, don't do that...

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, sorry about no posts in a while, my computer has crashed twice now. And sorry frosty, but I fixed it... I think. And when I get home I will try to do the thumbnails when I get home, and do some sorting and all that. Also, the link to 13lurs comes up invalid for me.

 

[Nudl9]

Pff popularity contest thread!

 

[Naze]

I think you could remove Evading Self's terrain. It is nice, but too simple for a Legendary Terrain!

 

[VampireHeart]

...the link to 13lurs comes up invalid for me.

I think it was this one:

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, I like the idea of the thumbnails, but how do I get them as little thumbnails?

 

[Naze]

I think you could remove Evading Self's terrain. It is nice, but too simple for a Legendary Terrain!

Hey! Did anyone read this?!?

 

[FamousPker49]

Yeah, I read it, I was just going to wait until I figured out how to change the pictures to thumbnails first, but I will take care of it.
