Legendary Terrains

Thumbnails:
Use imageshack or something to get the attachment into an IMAGE format, not attachment link. Then you use the URL attach function to attach them. Or use tiny url'd images.

 

[Gilles]

Hidden Tags!

You should be using these as well, so that the images don't take up a lot of room. It's just {Hidden="Title"}"What's inside"{/Hidden}

 

[FamousPker49]

Thanks for the help guys. I finished the updates. I believe it's good to go...

 

[VampireHeart]

Are you going to put the names under the images?

 

[frostwhisper]

A couple of things:
- Add a table with the names and a small description next to the picture.
- Change the URL's of the thumbnails to the direct link of the image, it takes less time to load.

 

[Childeric]

Just discovered this thread. Amaaaazing stuff. Now... how to get myself on here... v_v

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well I'm aiming for here too Childeric so let's do our best to get here

 

[redscores]

Same for me, i want to get here too . Well, I am gonna release a collection of my terrains.

 

[[Death]]

OK, I felt nice. Transformed them all into pimages. Just get rid of the hidden tags. It'd be like a gallery walk.

And for those who want in here, practice, practice, practice

 

[frostwhisper]

Hmm... great job.

But if MadseN's got three pics in there, how come no one else can have more than one?

 

[HappyTauren]

cause there is only one madsen.

 

[frostwhisper]

Fair enough .

 

[FamousPker49]

Hey sorry, I havent noticed that people have been posting. But Thanks a lot [Death]! I'll update right away. And I think MadseN has more than one just because people suggested more than one for him. There isn't any limit on anyone elses number of pics. If there are any more of someone elses that are legendary, just suggest it.

 

[Gilles]

Still a few I really don't think are legendary. There are a lot of other better terrains out there than them. That green one of the Eye of Sargaras for example.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, that can be removed. What others?

 

[frostwhisper]

The rest should stay imo.

 

[Corexx]

Honestly I can´t see something 'legendary' at my screenshot with the ancients. :O
He´s good but nothing more.

 

[frostwhisper]

I'll tell you what's legendary about it, Corexx. It is unique. It has never been made before, and most important: it will most likely never be made again (with this quality I mean).

 

[Celaquil]

Personally i think, not to add even MORE of MadseNs pics into the void but..
The one with the floating iseland with waterfalls and a castle in the middle is a legendary terrain for sure

 

[Gilles]

Honestly I can´t see something 'legendary' at my screenshot with the ancients. :O
He´s good but nothing more.

Dude, even though the terrain is not really a terrain, it's a doodad masterpiece!

 

[~Void~]

I'll tell you what's legendary about it, Corexx. It is unique. It has never been made before, and most important: it will most likely never be made again (with this quality I mean).

I actually think it's because it's one of the original really awesome cinematic terrains. It's like the jimi hendrix of terrains, there are many more skilled terrains now but when it was made, it was awesome, and without them being there the ones we see today wouldn't, either.

 

[Gilles]

A) I think we should have each one have the authors name on it. Like right on the terrain.

B) What about HernenG? He's used to be one of the best terrains, maybe for his time he was the greatest.

 

[[Death]]

If you still think my Garden is good, I made a cropped version a while ago (original).

I was going to submit some terrains from the contest, but I'll wait until it's over first.

HernanG's terrains are good, but I've always thought he was highly overrated by the Hive community. They're good, but not legendary--at least, my tastes say so. I really like his cave terrain, though.


Oh, and I really like this one by 13lur.

 

[Gilles]

I suppose the is a bit overrated, but imo he did one hell of a job with wc3:WoW terrain. As well, he was one of the first quality terrainers here and that's the reason for his popularity.

 

[~Void~]

I don't think HernanG makes terrains like cinematics/screenshots, though. He makes more map-ish terrains.

 

[Sabertooth]

Aye but if the playable terrains are exquisite, that's a plus in my opinion.

 

[Naze]

HernanG's terrains are good, but I've always thought he was highly overrated by the Hive community. They're good, but not legendary--at least, my tastes say so. I really like his cave terrain, though.

He is a good terrainer for playable stuff.

 

[[Death]]

Honestly, I'm more concerned about whether HernanG's terrains look good for the thread than if they're "good for playable terrains". The terrain I linked to by HernanG is the only one by him (maaaaaybe this and more as I see them) I'd consider on par with, if not better than, some terrains here. It pretty much needs to be on par or better, otherwise it's going to clash.

Example:

HernanG

Corexx

HernanG's non-playable terrains are good though, and I really wish he terrained more.


Anyway, don't let my opinion deter you from adding it. If you think it's worthy of being added, then add it. Do what you like! (There doesn't seem to be a defined structure for adding, but it seems to be popular demand and I'm not the populace.)

 

[Sabertooth]

Here's one I think should go.

2-P

[PurgeandFire]

Here's one I think should go.

2-P

The image isn't showing for me.

 

[Sabertooth]

Nyaah, I'll just make it a link.

 

[~Void~]

It's that dragon thing. I like it a lot but it's not 2-P's best.

 

[Gilles]

[Death], the HernanG terrain you posted is not showing up for me. I think he's got work that's good enough for here, but I'll leave it up to you guys.

 

[VampireHeart]

wow that dragon terrain is original.

imo that deserves legendary status.

 

[PurgeandFire]

EPIC!
http://img177.imageshack.us/my.php?image=apocalypseoz7.jpg

^By 2-P of course.

 

[VampireHeart]

lol wtf!?! that ridiculous!

 

[Corexx]

lol wtf!?! that ridiculous!

It is an innovative and funny idea, even if the realization isn´t the best.
With another background I´d call it "legendary²°°°"!

 

[HappyTauren]

lol wtf!?! that ridiculous!

You can't say it is not fucking awesome!

 

[VampireHeart]

hell yea it is! But whatever 2-P was smoking... lol jk

 

[Gilles]

You can't say it is not fucking awesome!

It's not at all awesome. I find it pretty lame actually.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well yes as a terrain it fails, but idea is nice

 

[VampireHeart]

You can't say it is not fucking awesome!

No, they lack fricken lasers attached to their heads!

Then, only then, would it be awesome!

 

[PurgeandFire]

It's not at all awesome. I find it pretty lame actually.

Lol, when it comes down to terrains you have no sense of humor.

 

[Gilles]

Lol, when it comes down to terrains you have no sense of humor.

Not really I guess. I just don't see how it's epic, funny, or cool in any way. I think it's because the models are so ugly.

 

[HappyTauren]

I think it's because the models are so ugly.

That is one of the reasons I think it is epic winrar.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Lol, yeah, the bunny model is like so LQ when scaled up that high.

 

[Naze]

I'm still with Gilles.

It's a funny pic, 2-P must earn some rep and stuff from that terrain, nothing else. I don't think a random terrain like that should be within the "Legendary Terrains"...

 

[VampireHeart]

of course its not legendary, but its a fun terrain none the less.

 

[Super-Sheep]

How to rotate doodads like P2 did with archways in that dragon thing?

 

[Gilles]

Not the place for this.

Use a negative number in the roll value for your desired doodad. Remember to hold shift when you click to open the value.
