Please, tell me how you like my first ever sig

[Legolover64]

Check the sig.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's my first...

[sisterpink]

I like it, the colours are really nice and the details on the foremost rock are very lifelike. It's simple, but lovely. For your first I think it is pretty darn good, too. 7/10

For a first signature I think that it is fantasic, I am pretty sure it is a terragen sig, but I could be wrong (been a while since ive haunted this board :D) And I have always liked Terragen sigs :) While the colours aren't very lifelike, I find that because they are not it adds that needed twist to a sig :D

I personally do not like it, and I'll tell you why. Firstly, you've used a uniform texture throughout the entire terrain which makes it look very monotonous, default and unrealistic. The shape of the mountains is also very unrealistic and unattractive, as well as seemingly random, and there are no mountains or hills of any sort behind them. The water level is also too high because terrain seldom enters water at a gradient of steeper than 45 degrees or so. Usually, it's much closer to 10 or 20. I personally do not like the colour scheme of the sky, but that's more of an individual opinion. The text font and colour don't fit well in my opinion because they don't blend in, and there is no border around the image itself which makes it look unfinished.

Yea i agree

[Legolover64]

Thanks for all the constructive criticism guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can I make the text better? I tried to make it nice, but failed, so I did the cheapo oval thing... lol

[JD77]

1/10 i dont like it... the colors S*ck

And your's is much better? :roll: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But on-topic. It isn't too shabby (for a first try). The text is god aweful :shock:, lol. It needs to be blended into the picture. It also wouldn't hurt to remove that white oval thingy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than that, it's a very good first try.

aha, someone else trying terragen, lovly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways, i've noticed 2 major things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. you have no surface map.

 

 

 

2. the terrain is created in the god-aful terragen terrain editor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heres a remedy for the first two problems.

2. http://www.world-machine.com (terrain editor)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways, heres some other tips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

first off, i like that you did play around with the sky settings. a lot of people just use the default or close to default sky. however, i must say it isn't the nicest thing to look at. I would learn the controls of the atmosphere, what they do, ect. by just doing smaller atmospheres. Once you learn what they do though, and how they effect each other, you can get some realy amazing effects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the surface map, read up on #1, and keep these in mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- rock is always on the bottom. if you can, google SOPack and look for a tutorial on "stratas" they will make your rocks look more realistic, but isn't necisary at first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- grass is not just greens. there are greens green-red's ect. so when you use your colors don't use pure green.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- grass also usualy can't be on a slope too big. example, the bigest slope grass could be on is something almost like /. any higher and it just can't grow there. keep it in mind for your surfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- if you want to do snow, remember it isn't pure white. there are bits of ice in it too, which are a light-ish blue color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope you don't mind me telling you some more advanced tips. a few which i just recently found out (the stratas are amazing)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

good luck in the future.
