Cereal - Beautiful Things

Here is my secret project, and sorry I over-hyped it.

'Twas lag city, so I couldn't add all the details I wanted to. There are 15,537 lines, and 2 splits. I have 0-creativity, so 95% of the stuff you see is from other scenery tracks.

(Btw, this is my first scenery track since "Sticky Situation" which I made 2.5 years ago. That was my so-called "last scenery" track.)

Gorgeous scenery and an even better manual track. I didn't expect scenery.

Also only 4 hours on track

That was really awesome Cereal. Loved it all. I saw some stuff from Devray's Backflash Hehe

Anyway, GREAT job on finishing a scenery track that big!

That was very good, i liked the smoothness of the track and the scenery. Cereal - Beautiful Things 232659

I loved it, I recognized pretty much everything in there, but it was still really inspiring and gave me all kinds of ideas on how I should scene. you should make more scenery.

That was amazing! This is possibly the best example I've seen in a long time of the scenery complimenting the track well. I could really see the track in the scenery without having to watch the naked track. Fantastic job on well-fitting scenery

Ambitious? Not really
Epic factor/Impressive? Not really
Complete/Cohesive? Yes
Vision? Somewhat
An Experience? Somewhat

Quality of art? Decent
Creativity in scening things? GREAT!
Speed manipulations? a little
Detail? somewhat
Consistency? yes
Unified Theme? somewhat
Originality? somewhat
Speed? GREAT!

Monument placement? a humorous one at the end
Monument usage? none, but all the present scenery was used beautifully
3-D (extrusion, adding shine, shading, contour lines, adding depth)? a little, not much
Made sense? YES. Wonderfully so for a manuquirk
"Hiding" the track? (this is bad) nothing even close Very Happy

Good Ending? yes lol

Also, yes, scenery lags. at least it wasn't running at 5fps like I've had to deal with before Wink

I hope to see more scenery from you though!

EDIT: yeah, 30 hours seems about right for that amount of scenery, especially if you hadn't scened in over two years. That's about how fast I go.

And I'm honored to be in your inspirations! Very Happy

I think I see myself in a couple spots in there

Definitely recognized DaPoe, TD, x612nt13, and LRG

EDIT2: wait what DaPoe wasn't on the inspirations? Eep

His scenery was all over that track! like at 0:30 and the thing at 1:13 I thought were highly similar to parts from his Tech Series

by **Commandercoke** Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:36 pm

I really liked it. Very Happy

It was really enjoyable to watch the different scenery styles. I especially liked the wizzy inspirations. You really nailed it. I also liked the Sorvius rails, which is odd because I usually don't like them. So yay? The track was great and the speed was perfect, I think.
So, sweet project. Favorited. And you're my favorite track-maker right now...have been for a while. Smile

fixed for you, rabid (with my opinions of course

)

that was lovely, cereal! This has given me so much inspiration like you wouldn't believe.. cheers on being my new favorite rider! <3

Lolwut? Cereal himself admitted there was no creativity. it's just a mish-mash of other tracks.

Look at the naked track. now look at the scened product. How did he get from there to there? see the creativity? that's what I'm talking about. You're talking about originality.

Plus, ask any scener if their work is original and they'll say something like "yes and no" because everyone "steals" ideas from everyone else. (copying is the the highest form of compliment, after all)

For example, I'm heavily inspired by TechDawg, x612nt13, DaPoe, Sorvius, and Snooze. You could argue that my tracks are "just" a mishmash of their styles.

this. I don't see everyone making naked tracks with every single fling being a new type of fling, that's just ridiculous. It's all about taking someone else's ideas and making them your own, and adding your own little flares to everything.

Amazing video, Cereal! Also Perfect music choice!

The thing I really like about your style is how you manage to make manuals so damn enjoyable. The scenery fitted perfect to that style as well so amazing job! keep doing what you are doing Wink

by SETH Tue Jun 21, 2011 2:51 pm

nice simple scenery ! very great track

by Wizzy Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:25 pm

Excellent!
I didn't know you could scene like that, Cereal Thumbs Up

The end monument and the blank spot were probably my favorite parts

I would normally say this is nothing special, but given your situation it was not only an exception but I wouldn't have it any other way. There are no monuments, there is nothing amazing, but it still gives the entertainment. Because of this, I don't believe there NEEDS to be anything amazing in it. Great work, Captain Crunch.

by Sssschiller Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:04 pm

Awesome example to show how well simple scenery works! Good job, sir!

Did I miss something, or is that internet-sarcasm?

Anyway, this is freakin epic. The beginning was waaaay to fast for my liking, I like when I can really follow the track and the scenery.
It felt slower later on, which was awesome.

As a final note: Dude, you've managed to make an amazing(!) track with great scenery. Hella rare thing.

Yeah, the track is noticeably below my standards, so I decided that I would scene it.

Thanks, and I think I know what stuff you're talking about.

That means a lot coming from you tbh, but I don't think that I will have the patience to do more scenery until I get a really good desktop.

I love your big reviews! And no, I guess DaPoe still wasn't an inspiration. I don't even remember him using those things o_O

Omg, thanks CC. And they aren't really Sorvius rails, because Chih actually invented them.

Thanks Wizzmaster. I actually was going to originally add a really detailed monument, but I decided to just book it due to laziness.

Thanks ssss! I apologize for not putting you in the inspirations, but the reason behind that is that I couldn't manage to emulate your unique cartoonish style.

Well, I said that because I didn't think the scenery was THAT great at first. And thanks! If we still did Member awards, I would nominate you for friendliest for always having positive comments on not only LR vids, but my sheepskin47 vids.

by Wolf_Spirit Wed Jun 22, 2011 12:16 pm

Wow, you really can do some great scenery ^^
I liked pretty much every part, especially the part with vines and mountains Very Happy

You did a really fantastic job of making the scenery fit the track well and just making it look great!
Awesome stuff Cereal ^^
