meh.. I don't know.. I can agree to that it looks cool but it's illogical and absurd that the gigantic animal(?) had the chains on his rib before he died and decayed.

Is a city inside a bubble logical? Point.

No. But there's a fine line between imagination and just stupid things like the chain-through-the-chest-and-into-his-rib-before-dying

~Void~ · Feb 15, 2009

Does it matter?

BearMan · Feb 15, 2009

Well yeah... "it's illogical and absurd"

~Void~ · Feb 15, 2009

Fuck logic. Lulz.

Slaydon · Feb 15, 2009

I didnt really understand the robot, but it was real nice!!

Gilles · Feb 16, 2009

Holy shit, who cares? It looks cool.

Eleandor · Feb 16, 2009

It makes me think of my own terrain I once made. Basically completely the same except for the unrealistic chain. Am I allowed to call it a ripoff?

raid1000 · Feb 16, 2009

most of these terrains don't deserve legendary title imo
but i guess standards change over time...

~Void~ · Feb 16, 2009

Like which?

raid1000 · Feb 16, 2009

i dont see any ledgendary-ness in pics
#4. nothing outstanding the sun can be easily done with light from above and fog doodads
#5. i cant see any epicness here either maybe if the castle was made out of doodads or something
#6. i see only a huge blob of fog doodads spam and some those shitty textured bones :/
#9. it looks like a huge mess nothing more to say
#13. huh? looks very regular to me...

~Void~ · Feb 16, 2009

Well I agree with 6 and 13. The rest, well #4 was the first time that technique was ever used, #9 is just awesome, and #5 is old as a motherfucker, it only uses 2 imported models, so I think that should give it some credit.

raid1000 · Feb 16, 2009

of course #9 is awesome its made by MadseN and everything that MadseN does is godlike and deserves legendary title d'ohh
~facepalm~

~Void~ · Feb 16, 2009

Pretty much, actually. How do you think I made my first good terrains? I asked him for his maps and looked at them.

Really raid, MadseN outranks you and everyone of us anytime... <.< >.>
And yes that pic is freaking nice.. >.>

Nbah · Feb 16, 2009

I can see why you underestimate most of these pics, raid, but you have to understand these pictures were one of the first fog/sun terrains that came and by that time they really were though of more than legendary.

raid1000 · Feb 16, 2009

that is why i said standards change over time

bounty hunter2 · Feb 16, 2009

Legendary: Something old new, revolutionary at the moment. But you know that.

Super-Sheep · Feb 16, 2009

So, to make a legendary terrain you have to wait thousand years and then show it?

bounty hunter2 · Feb 16, 2009

No but do you know that the first computer was legendary? And compare it to today, same goes for everything else, the first plane was legendary too, and we all go "lol" to all the old legendary stuff. Old Timers are legendary etc...

Today you have to make something or really impressive or revolutionary to earn the "legendary" adjective.

The matter isn't how easily it can be done. Creativity counts. The first guy who had the idea of drawing abstract art was a genius, because no one thought about painting something unreal (like feelings/ideas) before. They only painted things like people, landscapes, etc.

raid1000 said:

I agree with you in this one.

raid1000 said:
#6. i see only a huge blob of fog doodads spam and some those shitty textured bones :/

Meh... I have to agree, it isn't that exceptional.

raid1000 said:

This one is awesome, and it isn't a mess :/

raid1000 said:

I belive that one is average, and it has a flaw: the background. Legendary terrains must be flawless.

Agreed, but we must not underestimate the old ones. But it is always good to be remembered that this thread must be recycled.

Gilles · Feb 17, 2009

Things don't loose their legendary status. I wanted to see some even older work that isn't legendary at all, like HernenG. His work was amazing for it's time.

Belgarath · Feb 17, 2009

tbh, I think 4 isn't exactly legendary, in both ways described. That was right when the huge buzz with zomglightspam!!111111 started, it being "just another one" right then, even now I fail to see why it's so impressive. 5, 6, 9 I disagree with you raid. Those were great, are great, although I think [death]'s Garden is more deserving than the remains one. The castle is just a plain normal castle. It looks epic because it is epic. =/. 13 I agree. I didn't think it was exactly special, I never liked it a lot either way. The hand is quite nice I suppose, but that's about it.

thedeathunterxx · Feb 17, 2009

i think for something to be epic ...

YOU MUST FEEEL THE EPICNESS !!!

like it makes you wonder how they did that, or "wow thats f-ing beutiful", or you get a strong feeling or emotion that the terrainer is trying to portray, like a mysterious and dark terrain will make you feel like its a mystery and feeling of darkness engulfing you !

epicness has nothing to do with how simple it is. Its about feeling the epicness.

my saying is ...

" If you can see the music, and hear the envirnment, and feel the sky, than its epic."

lol i just made that up, but u can get the point.

ohh and btw, 13 is definetly not epic. didn't we have a discussion about it being up there already ?

RaijinSpark · Feb 21, 2009

Epic!!!

leet.firefox · Feb 24, 2009

Epic to the max!!!

Megafyr · Feb 24, 2009

I think raid1000's hill fort picture's are worthy the legendary title. The first time I saw them I got an adrenaline rush, and everytime I look at them they impress me over and over again.

I suggest the 6th picture, cause there you get a pretty well overview of the castle. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f267/hill-fort-116595/#post1004239

~Void~ · Feb 24, 2009

Meh. It's good but there are too many things wrong with it for it to be legendary. Like the rock textures, the tree placement, and the environment in general. The only good part, I think, is the fortress itself; which is a big part of it, but ALL of it has to be great.

*cough*SO REMOVE FROSTWHISPER'S HAND FROM THE 1ST POST*cough*

Sorry, I had a cough.

FamousPker49 · Feb 25, 2009

I thought when we had the discussion earlier, we decided to leave it in memory of him. But I suppose if you bitch and whine enough it can get removed.

Naze · Feb 25, 2009

That wasn't the only terrain in his memory in the thread (link1/link2). 3 terrains in memory of him (and one not deserving to be in the thread) are too much.

This terrain, for example, deserves to be here and was made by Frosty.

FamousPker49 · Feb 25, 2009

I was just stating a prior discussion since nobody seems to recall it. But yes I know which ones are his as I happened to have composed on of them.

Belgarath · Feb 25, 2009

Keep the dolphins, get rid of the hand. Oh wait, you did.

Gilles · Feb 25, 2009

Who's the fucking idiot who put that one up there in the first place?

Oh wait....

leet.firefox · Feb 26, 2009

If nobody else has, then I recommend this terrain Here
By raid1000

Megafyr · Feb 26, 2009

Yup, it definitly deserves legendary title.

Duke · Feb 26, 2009

Who has done last picture pls?

He needs to fix the bottom first, then I'll put it up there.

raid1000 · Feb 26, 2009

did you even ask for my permission to be added here?

~Void~ · Feb 26, 2009

You don't want to be?

raid1000 · Feb 27, 2009

well maybe i dont...
the legendary thread belongs to void, frostwisper(ban), madsen(inactive), famouspeker(around here somewhere).
we can't spoil that delicate balance can't we?
plus i don't want any of my terrains to be added to this thread no matter how awesome they are.

It isn't spoiling, if you deserve it, you deserve it.

Ah, now that's your choice.

Belgarath · Feb 27, 2009

Frosts aren't all that great, he did things now and then, that sometimes were great and sometimes were shit. I wouldn't really count him as one of "the" terrainers. Note I wouldn't know who to count, tbh.

Gilles · Feb 28, 2009

I can put it up, and there's nothing you can do raid. Ahahahaha

I won't put it up there, but at least allow me to do one thing: You are fucking stupid

thedeathunterxx · Mar 1, 2009

lol

well maybe there are legendary terrainers, but that doesn't mean that this legendary thread is made just for them.

I find it cool how overtime, terrainers slowly become better and better, and eventually become epic terrainers. Thats probably how every legendary terrainer started.

There was probably even more on Wc3search... but then that got changed.

And now raid is rising to that title. Many of his works are pretty f-ing legendary.
and sooner or later im gonna try and reach that rank ! =D !!
