Ah I love it! I think we're going to have to ban you from the wiki so you we can force you to concentrate on your 3D imaging :) It looks great so far, I'll be interested to see the changes done to it. Imagine if we could get a team of CGI artists similar to those working on all the current Middle-earth CGI projects, we could have our own images for each article. Keep up the great work! --Hyarion 00:11, 22 June 2006 (EDT)
- Well, I'm not exactly the best with this. The program I have is not typically used for anything but creating landscapes. And I'm manual-learned (all I know came from the manual and online tutorials), and only been at it for less than a year. The view I took isn't the best, but after it was done I didn't want to render it all over again (rendering in this case means "taking a picture" of the 3d shapes I set up and arranged; it takes a long time, especially on slow computers). Still, I can do some simpler stuff. This is just a set of positive and negative space, with some adjusted textures thrown in. I am not happy with the mountains, which I shall try and fix before my final renderings. I do like my towers, though. I'll try and get some close-ups of them and the gate. By the way, do you like the sky, or do you think I should get a different one? --Narfil Palùrfalas 07:51, 22 June 2006 (EDT)
- I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I think the City itself looks like a football stadium or something the like. The stairs up to the City don't have a realistic feel to me either, they seem more like the stairs of a house. --Earendilyon 11:09, 22 June 2006 (EDT)
- No, I don't mind. I'm not the sort of person that takes offense easily (then again, I'm not the sort of person who instantly understands what everyone else is talking about, unless it is history or science or geography). As I said before, that isn't the best angle. I'll try and get another angle on it. I would like some suggestions on how to alter the stair, especially as I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to make them work, as they went so high, without making the staircase too long. --Narfil Palùrfalas 12:04, 22 June 2006 (EDT)
