I definitely think it was worth it for you to redo the stone. Also, and I dunno why I keep sharing these here as well as on deviantART cause I'm spamming up your topic, I did a quick hut to test an idea I had for making my walls better.

I suspect this idea will always need something with it on bigger builds, as it doesn't do much except for around the edges, but it looks cool on this hut. May have wanted something slightly bigger for this wall idea but there's not enough room on that ledge for anything larger! (and yes, that is a hanging bridge you see leading away from the hut.) I also noticed too late that I forgot to trim the vines that are currently covering over the door. xD

Hey don't worry Uni if you are posting stuff that is Ch related images then its not spam in this thread

Hello everyone! First I must say, CHROMA HILLS is easily best texture/resource pack for minecraft. Thank you for making such a master piece. I do have two suggestions, one major and one minor, for it though and I hope that you take no offense. After all its all about personal taste and it is personal opinion. MAJOR one: Window frames and window blocks in chroma hills are very very bad :-\ They totally do not belong in this wonderful creation. Every time I put a window block or frame on a building with all kind of nice textures for bricks, wood, cobblestone (like this A LOT) it feels like A SLAP IN THE FACE. It is a disaster really imo. In best scenario, every building have that "prison-ish" look with so many bars even tho they are diagonal. If not "prison-ish", they look like simply bars without any glass. I apologize if this was your intention really. Is it possible to change that or add something GLASSY so we do have a feeling we have glass on our windows? minor one: Even tho water is very nice I think water texture from texture pack LIFE would be really great. Maybe you can try something like that. Thanks for reading and best regards! Bauk

Thanks very much pleased you are enjoying it mostly I do plan to give the glass full CTM so it won't have so many bars when i do that I do like my water and have had many many positive comments on it, i did have something similar to the Life pack but its just a generic pattern that many packs use and i wanted something unique which i now have

Thanks man! BTW, I deleted the mcpatcher folder inside of the texturepack instead of moving it somewhere, and it works! Thanks again!

Hi, yes Chroma Hills packs use a lot of the advanced texture features these use more RAM from your computer so you either nee to increase the RAM (magic launcher is best for this) or remove the enhanced textures which you have done. Hope you enjoy




Been back on the CH server building spawn, and started a rather large house with my build buddy Imma Creeper Heres some progress pics, my first Minecraft actual proper house build. All I've done is a few shacks and quick houses in survival, this multi level building makes my brain hurt! lol

Very early roughing all the levels of the house.




A few areas have been detailed to get the style/theme flowing.

Enjoying is understatement man. I love it... It is like 1st place CHROMA HILLS then 10+ empty spaces then rest of them. No resource pack is even close imo and not in your league...

Good luck with your work and all the upcoming changes. If I can do anything to help let me know.

Best regards,
Bauk

Glad it works for you now.

@syclone That's okay then. And awesome looking build! I love the overgrown look, I have to say I'm someone who loves it when builds have touches that make it look like nature is trying to reclaim it.

Thanks Uni, well we have been on it again a good few hours tonight so here's some more progress. Also I've started on the Podzol textures so should have something to show soon

Upstairs getting mapped out

More awesomeness.

I'm currently working on a house in survival on a server. It's pretty big for me on survival lol, I'm not much of a survival builder normally.

More progress on the house, we really didn't think it would look anything like this! This is one of three of the large GUILD houses on our middle spawn island. I will get some shader pics up later.

Still loads of detail to go!!

Hey, thanks for sharing your video of Chroma Hills Pretty nicely done and you sounded really positive about my work!

I know you wanted to do a video on it for a good while now so i hope it didn't disappoint after waiting all that time, still much to do of course!?

Thanks again Q

Quote from qmagnet

well i knew it looked great from before. so it wasn't hard to be happy about your art!

Well again, thanks for the kind words hope you enjoy the on going progress




So speaking of progress I've made a start on the 1.7 flowers and almost have the Podzol finished so will show that a bit later

Also thought i would show you guys the new logo for the game/app development business. Already a couple of titles in early development and in talks on others, exciting times in the Syclone camp!

PODZOL POWER! Before anyone says, yes i know the leaves aren't spruce but they really didn't work as well SO i'm pulling the ARTISTIC LICENCE card No CTM yet just vanilla blocks for now.

hey iv been gone a long time here xD *work and junk* and havent had a chance to follow along but has there been a new update yet

.I've been waiting for the podzol texture. It looks as good as I had hoped! Good job as always

Done with the roof now. Just need a bit more detail and interior, and it's done!

I know you were keen to see what i came up with Def so i'm glad it hit the spot

Quote from thewingedshadow

Awesome. Can't wait until the server will be open to public.

It's really coming along now, good progress in many areas and more staff making things happen!

Few pics of the Guild house with shaders

Any estimated time on a new update?

Have to say that I love this pack! The soul sand is what really sticks in my head! It's so creepy, the first time I saw it I had to think for a minute to process what it was and I'm like "Ohh, I see what they did there".
Very very cool! Love it and keep up the awesome work!

Well, i don't feel i have got that much done yet Def, I want all the 1.7 terrain updates in as it will look so jarring if they release and i don't have them done for CH I would like to get a few more things done to warrant the next update. Whats the estimate of the 1.7 MC release has Mojang hinted??

Well thank you, pleased you are enjoying it Yes soulsand is a bit different to the norm i went OTT on that one, i still want to refine and finish it but more pressing matters to be addressed on the pack

I'm not sure if Mojang has even hinted when 1.7 will be out...I could be wrong though.
