I think FIREBLU is pretty: Change My Mind

[Yandere_Doomer]

ive heard that people think that FIREBLU is one of the ugliest textures in doom, i dont see why though, as long as it isnt used too much in one spot its a beautiful texture.

@LoneAlpha2401 's replacement version is really awesome! (page 41)

And so is @EffinghamHuffnagel 's more animated liquid version!

And there's more variants if you scroll up that page 62 and see bottom of page 61.

I completely agree, FIREBLU is a unique and appealing texture.

Agreed, it is a diamond in the rough of video game textures.

I like FIREBLU, but abusing it can be painful to look at. Having too much of it is like looking at a strobe light to me. In my opinion, it works best in a fire and brimstone style setting. I think one of the main reasons people think FIREBLU is ugly is because it is so evocative of the 90's. It is a texture that could have only been created in the era it belongs to. When I see a lot of FIREBLU, I associate it with a really early mapping scene. Sometimes it can feel out of place in maps that go for a more modern style. It's great when used tastefully, but horrible when it is just pasted on some random techbase wall for no reason.

I think it's like, a beautiful ugly. that's why I'm using it in really weird places in a WAD I'm making.

[Yandere_Doomer]

i like its placement in the wad 50 shades of GRAYTALL, a very weird wad when it comes to textures and texture placement

Being the one who mostly stays outside of the community, I feel really confused now. FIREBLU is ugly? Seriously? It is one of my favorite textures!

i know right? thatts why it confused me when i heard it was considered ugly on the doom wiki on the description of 50 shades of GRAYTALL 

Quote

DOORTRAK serves a functional purpose but looks ugly when used on spans longer than 16 map units, FIREBLU is often named as one of the ugliest textures in Doom, and GRAYTALL is sometimes thought of as "the original placeholder texture" since it appeared often in the alpha versions of maps to disappear in most of their final versions.

Why would I possibly want to change your subjective opinion about something so completely irrelevant?

i thought it would be a fun topic to bring up

[Thorogrimm]

It's like bus seat ugly, there's an underground appeal to it but it's not to everyone's taste

[Chezza]

Can anyone photoshop fireblu on a celebrities dress or Lamborghini?

 

I want to see that.

The lighting makes this a little more bearable to look at, but I'm still not sure if I could play it without going nuts :P

Fireblu is one of the more eye catching textures, at least in my opinion. But I also think it should be used with care and for specific situations, since using it liberally is a little tacky in my books.

honestly i don't even know why people hate fireblu. It's not a bad texture in my opinion but not the best either.

Everyone who opposes fireblu textures, will be consumed by it and become part of it, blinking forever and no one will hear your screams and pleads.
