I hope you didn't restart the WHOLE thing!

But it doesn't matter. You rock, this park rocks, blah blah blah.

I have to agree with Jacko. The screen is architecturally outstanding. But it looks like it would be Rivendell the Casino.

I would just suggest making it look aged. Maybe some vines etc.

ok
thanx everyone who suggested i should add colour, that is being done now, im trying all different colours, gold yellow red anything really.

and iced tea no Rivendell is not in a forest that is Lotherian. but there will be trees anyway.
I did try adding vines but that just look to outstanding(too much)and tacky but maybe with more colour they will be ok.

anyway thanx for helpful replys.
and i should have anotehr update in awhile.

There's enough artwork available of Rivendel, so try to look for some drawn impressions of it. It might give you a clue which colors could be used.

I don't like the trend I'm seeing of just endlessly stacking scenery and detail onton buildings without and real thought to the overall form and function of the building. This just looks sloppy and poorly thought out. Sorry, but I liked your previous screens much better. If I remember they were 'less' detailed, but far less overdone than this. Scale back the detail a bit. As it is now it really does nothing for me. Doesn't have any sense of the magical quality I picture Rivendell having. I hope you can save the look you had for Bree...I really liked what you'd done in that section.

in the movies, rivendell has some brown...but it looks great!

That screen is ugly.

Lets accept that and Move on.


There is no structure, there is no thought - its a bunch of Toons scenery pieces mixed togeather to form a load of shit. There is no style, No elegence, It doesn't like a place of magic and peace. It seems like a chaotic mess, like an "uber magic ring factory".

The old screens had Taste.


This? This has absolutly nothing.

Excuse me, can you do any better?

Listen to Toon. He knows what he's talking about.

If i did a 2 by 2 block, and put doors and windows on it, it would be better.

It would at least have some type of form.


A mess is not form, its its name. A mess.

Chris rocks.

I think patients of b

I think you have been looking at the Two Towers version of Rivendell rather than the one seen in Fellowship of the Ring and Return of the King. That is the darkest movie of the series and Rivendell follows this pattern by being glum and melancholic in that one. It's an artistic trick - in FotR and RotK Rivendell is tan and beige to be inviting and peaceful, in TT it is grey and stony to suggest sadness and loss. I would suggest looking at FotR and RotK instead. TT is Rivendell at its lowest point. It's really there as a comparison. You have already seen the lush and majestic Rivendell in FotR; to make it glum in TT is just a microcosm of that movie, the darkest and "low"est point of the series. To suggest a "how are we ever gonna get out of this" feeling. The Rivendell you should remember, after it's all over, is the lush and peaceful one. Rivendell has kind of a color palette in the first and third movies; the main four colors are tan, green (trees and surrounding greenery), blue (just the element of water) and grey here and there, such as the scene when Boromir finds the old sword in FotR. But I wouldn't use too much of that. As Deano said, save it for Minas Tirith, which is the one true place of "cold majesty" in the series. When you showed the images of Rivendell in the other thread I thought the grey and blue combination was just here and there. But seeing it as the whole city is a bit too much. Plus, I don't recall seeing much blue on the buildings themselves at all during the series. It seemed mostly tan in the first and third movie and grey in the second one. The blue was the element of water only, mostly. And keep this in mind: like NC and Lucifer said, you shouldn't just stack rooms and hallways vertically. Probably make whole and logical buildings alongside each other in staircase fashion, and maybe sometimes separated vertically by slopes. And don't forget the waterfalls - mostly, those are between buildings, occasionally running through them, but not blatantly under them. And also the bridges over water and ravines. Anyway, I'm glad to see that you're rethinking the color schemes.

I think id get lost in that building. Thats good, cuz it shows complexity and i like complexity. yea for you and me!

Ok i dont give a shit on your stupid opinion of this being a so called mess.

But you could at least give some advice how to make it better, what things leigh can improve on. Seriously if your just going to post a load of shit in this topic showing what a moody bastard you are, dont post at all.

Thanks.

Thanx for the comments,

my work on this park has been going a little slowing, due to school work e.g,.
Anyway time for an UPDATE:

Rivendell:
I have experimented with alot of color and just small amounts and in the end decided that only a very small amount was needed so i only added a small hint of gold to the doors and windows.

So here is a new section of Rivendell with the gold?.


Btw sorry about the size of the screens.


And here is a shrine on the very top of the cliff side of Rivendell, it has only just been started and will be much bigger. I used the roman walls because i wanted this section to be slightly more different and speaical.
anyway enjoy the screens and comments welcome.

LOTR SUCKS MY DUCK

^shut up.

I like the second screen but the roman walls really clash with the grey, i would really change one of them.

The first screen is alright but its the same old stuff really.

Nice but it doesnt exceed that.

I think.

Bite me!

^ again STFU
