djscoobsta Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi, Alot of the older media members will remember me and my Terragen works esp. Nadril (You still owe me 50k buddy). Well I just finished my 1st work of 2005 and I'm very happy with it. Many may remeber my works as rubbish but I have learned over Xmas, Calmed down and decided to do some good work. I done 3 versions and now I dont know what ones look best...SO: I'm asking for some C/C and Feedforward/Feedback etc. Anyone with PS or PSP will know what I have done to these but I'll Explain them anyway. NORMAL VERSION: GAUSSIAN BLURED VERSION: (Softer) SHARPENED VERSION: (More real looking) Soon I may reopen a Sig Shop and work for RS GP But untill then I will most likely only be doing sigs for myself and close friends. You may ask but don't go angry if I say no. Thanks, Djscoobsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonorhc Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I'd personally work on the surface map a bit more, but each to his own, I guess. Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderslave Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 nice sigs dj i remember you and dont you play Runescape Classic aswell??(if you do then good so do i) erm cc the sharpened one looks more realistic as you can see the texture of the water better the softened one looks like its a misty/foggy sea and the normal one is just normal lol They are all good its just depends on what style people like!!!

djscoobsta Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 ur the only person here that i know uses terragen. cant say ur bad though. ur works are great. can u make the blurred one more misty? it kinda looks the same compared to the normal version. Well Thank You, Your very humble but before I left for Xmas Holidays at the beach there were several members that used terragen (Nadril, Demoris, Me & many many more). I since this is my 1st time back on media I have no idea who has left over xmas. The blurred one is different to the normal one I didn't use a very powerful blur as I thought it destroyed it. Thank You for your comments I'd personally work on the surface map a bit more, but each to his own, I guess. Thanks for comment, I'm still not to good on surfaces and colours (colors) I couldn't think of something to go with it but I tryed if you have a suggestion I still have the terragen window open so I can change it if you have a idea. nice sigs dj i remember you and dont you play Runescape Classic aswell??(if you do then good so do i) erm cc the sharpened one looks more realistic as you can see the texture of the water better the softened one looks like its a misty/foggy sea and the normal one is just normal lol They are all good its just depends on what style people like!!! Neanderslave Once again thanks for comments. Ya I still play RSC I'm leaving members as I dont play much anymore. as I earlier said sharp looks real and i didn't do the blur to much as it destroyed the image and the blur is to make it look more misty. Thanks All, Djscoobsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hardcoredome-1 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 It's far better then my first work in terragen :shock: How do you do the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djscoobsta Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 It's far better then my first work in terragen :shock: How do you do the water? Thanks for comment, Quility comes with experience, i was most likely on holidays when you posted ur 1st works other wise i would of C/C'ed them. The water button is the 3rd one down the menu on the left hand side (one with pics on them) and for very basic water just ajust the water level (it defualts at -300.m) and add / subtract to the number till you get the water level you want as you get better you can experiment with the other settings and find out wat they do. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 oh so that's why u wanted Nadril. well not much people left on terragen. theres a few who occasionally pop-up, though i think those are other 3D programs... anyways i also noticed that i liked the water on the original, rather than the sharpened one. (probably too choppy on the sharpened/calmer on the normal) The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

Zonorhc Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I normally use a lot of very slight variations on colour to get a better quality for a particular surface. Try setting the half-height of the haze to around the level of the waterline, and raise the density if you want some fog.

Nadril Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 hmm... at least thank god its cleaner than the rest of your sigs. The text isn't an anoying color or anything. But post-processing aside, i'll say what i think about the landscape. Ok, the surface map is VERY simplistic, perhaps a little bit too simplistic. If you wanted to do an island, you should have had a beach on the outskirts, and grass/dirt on the top. However, i don't realy like the just 1 island on a sig look. Guess it might just be me. Right now the sig looks just kind of booring, simplistic. The guas blur version is much better than the *eww* sharpened version, and in my opinion the guas blur looks more "realistic" Still, it needs alot of work to pull your self out of the just avarage, plain, booring terragen works that happen alot. Give your self time to play with a more interesting atmosphere, or at least spend time working on a surface map that looks realistic, or just plain cool. ~Nadril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0z Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Personally i dont like your sigs at all, they are very basic and very odd. Because it looks like youve just ripped off a background and put a border and text on it, make them more advanced if thats the right word im looking for... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
