I have played with creating and building my Skyboxes as 3D models then baking the 3D composition to 2D textures, it will allow a great amount of detail and layers/depth and errrr....stuff.
That sounds fantastic. Love those blocks, and the dispenser looks mighty fancy. I never seem to get bored just looking at the landscape and some builds with this pack! Getting along nicely, looking forward to the mostly finished pack download.
As a side note, could you send me the brighter non-shader version you talked about? I love the shaders but wanted to see the non-shader version for a little while.

I will get the files sorted for you sorry it slipped my mind
Great to hear new blocks all going down well and all received with such enthusiastic reaction!
As I said earlier guys been on the items today and got a good bunch done even though i may re look at some of them at later date I hope you think they are good enough to go in
Beautiful stuff man!
Yeah, the ender eye needs a little outline or something. Compared to the rest of the pack, it isn't as cartoonish. Everything else is great.
Way better than just good enough. The only item I don´t like yet is the ender eye. It looks a bit unfinished at the edge, but you should still put it into the pack with the rest for now.
Yeah I agree the eye needs a bit more work it didn't take long, good to hear on the rest. I think the gold/Iron ingots are my fav they look good crafting which is important.

Thanks, yeah I can work on it later Well i've got through 14 items tonight which isn't bad going on a 128x pack.
Last few of tonights batch to show and my two fav's again (you need to have items set to fast in optifine not that nasty rotating look that makes anything you draw at a certain angle look awful)
Looove everything so far, agree with the eye? something feels missing. the feather too? mabey could use more lines in it i dunno, still looks good.
Loving the new carts too.
As for my thoughts on 1.4.7 and 1.5 a few posts back,(delayed i know) Im thinkin focus on 1.4.7 as the majority of people(assumptions) that use the txter pack play on servers, which dont get updated for a few weeks after update releases anyways. My 2 cents any ways.
Best looking pack ive seen so far
I would of never found out about this if it weren't for your signatures. Truly a professional pack, yet you managed to keep it in a cartoon theme as well. I need this pack now.

Thanks Yeah I will prob tweak some of these items but at least they can go in.
Do we get a WIP? I might ask if you would do the GUI next and maybe think about doing a customizer? www.minecraftcustomizer.net
I have a number of people previewing the pack so the next release will be the actual WIP please hold on a little longer. Rather than keep making previews i really need to focus on getting the main WIP release files done, sort out the 1st page and get this out to everyone. I've also got to get the legal/terms completed and make sure everything is ready for the first release.
As for GUI so far i have what you see in the spoiler below

Great to hear Yes Its been lurking in the quieter section of the texture pack discussion forum until i got enough of the pack done but will shortly be going over into the main texture pack section.
Those are by far the best looking gui's so far, usually thats the one thing i don't like about most packs, but these are beautiful.
Mabey remove the bucket from the crafting table and add a hammer, and a wrench on top of it.
And for the smelter, mabey add a pair of tongs, and a fire stoker.

Thank you very much
I'm a bit confused the bucket isn't part of the crafting GUI art work its been made with 3 Iron ingots? The top of the suspended crafting table is where all made items will appear.
Ohhh ok, i just thought it was a bucket sitting ontop of the table haha. Then scrap that, but my opinion on tongs, hammer, and fire stoker pump stands lol. Hurduurr moment on me there lol
Some update news folks and its exciting stuff. CHROMA HILLS is now on facebook (only just went live) so get liking the page and share away! Link now added to OP.
We also now have our own super fast and secure private server storage for the pack downloads, images and anything CH related to come.
As well as all the interest from many MC servers wanting to use CH we are looking to put in place official CH servers running from our server hub at chromahills.com PVP/Creative and later on Tekkit. If youre interested in coming on board in a admin/staff role get in touch. Thanks to the guys that approached me with this awesome idea.
Bookmark Chromahills.com as the website is well underway.
Getting closer to the first release now, mostly been sorting things behind the scenes but will have some new progress pics up soon. Thank you to so many that have shown such great support for the pack at such an early stage. This wouldn't all be happening without you.
Really great news! I love that enchanting table GUI! Good to hear that it is well underway to being a complete pack!
Plus, since I play FTB more than vanilla, that support sounds really nice.

Just tried chromahills.com and it took me to your hosts site and not yours. Guess you haven't replaced the default index page yet
In regards to those servers, I would love to be an admin on one (preferably the survival one, as I'm not too familiar with tekkit yet :P). I AM Australian though, so latency could be an issue. I would still love to be considered for an admin anyway, as I have a lot of experience with Minecraft, multiplayer, and Survival servers
Awesome work, got the page bookmarked. Streaming with this pack will be epic. I never realized how much the shader packs brought to the game, the waving grass and leaves is pretty cool.

Thanks Alex, well its early days but I will make a list of people who have an interest
Congratulations on your facebook site and server, I´m eager to see what´s going to happen with it in the future.
By the way, I noticed that there are still some flaws in your custom font. Some characters have wrong pixels, some are too high or too low or too small or too large. Well, I just highlighted everything for you. And the spacing is still a bit off so you need a properties file and don´t forget to get rid of the letters from sphax before your puplic release. ;D
Thanks Moo, I'm hoping the future will bring exciting things but only time will tell
Thanks for looking over the font. I haven't looked at fixing the font in ages so i will need to look at it soon.
I would love to be in the staff for one of the servers, dont mind which. I have lots of plugin experience and I used to run my own server that reached 1500 different visitors. I have lost of experience with administration, chat and I am also a very good builder (What to get a job in architecture when Im older). I have been playing Mine-craft since alpha and have always been keen on installing mods and texture packs. This is certainly one of my favourites...
Please PM me a reply!

Great to know Sharky, I'll add your name to the list of people interested As i said above its very early days but great to see people liking the idea.
Awesome work, got the page bookmarked. Streaming with this pack will be epic. I never realized how much the shader packs brought to the game, the waving grass and leaves is pretty cool.
Thanks Look forward to the streams Yes shaders for me are a must but the majority of players will not use them so want the pack to look as good as it can without shaders. The shaders are like the icing on the cake (you still need a tasty cake)
Is all this newfound publicity and semi-advertisement a sign of imminent release...?
I sure hope so!
Mayyyybe
Also, it seems weird, but would be undoubtedly fun, to have a server...based on a texture-pack...?
How would that-...B-but-...Could I help with that? I used to run a server of my own.
Well i'm quite good at taking small ideas/concepts and developing then in to something bigger. I do this in my daily business which involves design, marketing, branding etc. If it goes the way I'm now starting to plan you will look at Chroma Hills as not the name of a texture pack but the Texture pack is part of Chroma hills and defines its style, appearance and aesthetic For example a server in the world of Chroma Hills will be run to compliment the art style, the design of the worlds and their archtecture will reflect what Chroma Hills is as place. All this can be discussed and worked out with the server guys as things progress and rules of the land and clear definitions can be written . Does that sort of explain the vision? Also I'll put your name on the list Mini
I'm not really known for doing things by halves if I get my teeth into something I usually see how far i can run with it! I'm having a lot of fun and enjoyment with this.Being and artist and in business its also getting my juices flowing where this could go. If it all falls flat then I'm still keeping up with the art side of things
Silliness aside, I've said little on this thread as I'm honestly lost for words with 99% of what I see here; the whole pack looks polished; clearly the work of a professional who knows what they're doing. And of those issues I'd had with the pack, they'd since been improved insanely quickly as another use points them out, and you return to alter it at lightning speed.
Really, really, looking forward to the pack.
As I've said before, it'll be quite the 'thing' when this releases. I'd eat my own face if you don't get at least 10k downloads in the first couple weeks!
Thank you, I've worked with some amazing people in my life and I always tried to learn as much as i could and use that to develop my own skills. Much like the texture discussion forum, people could not be in a better place to learn from others/help each other and continue to improve and grow.
Ummm guys we need to hit that 10k pretty quick as I'm sure Mini's folks would prefer him WITH A FACE
I completely agree about the popularity of it. As soon as you release it, it will start to go to the top of the packs.
If you want to, you can add me to the server help list. Just know that I don't play too much, but I'll help anyway if I can.

That's exactly the way I wanted it to come across
