[~Void~]

The Hive Workshop
Terrain Contest 7
Small World

Theme Description

Create an image representing a world from the perspective of something much larger, for example a god, a titan, or whatever, or create a miniature world (like a solar system inside a room, or a treasure chest with a continent inside it, it's up to you).

• Any model from the UTM or Contest Sanctioned Models Thread (both stickied in terrain forum) may be used. The contestant is also allowed 3 imports of his/her choice, which need to be pre-approved by the judges.
• Don't copy people's work. This has happened before and it's really goddamn annoying. You know who you are, and if you don't, I do.
• Submit your shit ATTACHED TO YOUR POST and in .JPG or .PNG format. Only make ONE post with an attached entry (compile all of your WIPs into one post). If you change your entry, REMOVE THE OLD ATTACHMENTS.

"The host can enter. Bahahaha. Bahaha. Mwa ha ha. This time I actually will enter, unlike last time "

Not happening, I can predict the future k

"and a sexy icon"

The chances of that happening are 50/50, I have to say

"100% of the winner shall be determined by the contest's appointed judge(s)."

Awesome.


I might be entering, probably will be. Have some ideas.

 

[HFR]

Finally, the poll is dead...

And remember that, from now on, the second and third places will get an icon too.

And, of course I'm in!

 

[CoBrA b]

Cool.

My entry shall be inspired by this:

They do...? That's retarded...

No, I don't think we're going to do that. Icon spam under profiles FTL.

 

[Ziggen]

I will join this one. Now I just gotta get a copy of wacraft 3 since I have a new HDD.

 

[Megafyr]

No, I don't think we're going to do that. Icon spam under profiles FTL.

1st place only should get icon. 1st place has to be winnar!

 

[~Void~]

Yeah, but as usual a quarter of the staff made a decision without actually thinking about it or letting the community have an opinion. I'm not giving 2nd and 3rd place icons for this contest.

 

[HFR]

Then taste the furried wrath of Pyritie and zombie2279 with his hungarian russian soldiers

I'm still thinking of what to make, and I still have to terrain some chapters for Septimus campaign, but I still have almost 1 month, so, expect a WIP in June 30.

 

[Hawkwing]

How about you take the reputation/award icons discussion to a more appropriate thread or means or communication.

 

[baassee]

Any judge appointed?

Maybe join this thought I'm a spellmaker/triggerer not a terrainer, we'll see if I got the time.

Edit:

A fast wip now when I got time, yes I know that the background is white, haven't chosen yet and if you don't see what it should look like, it's a beginning of a cave, more I wont tell you

PS: yes I know it lacks of doodads and different rocks but I'm currently on it.

Edit2: New wip

 

[~Void~]

Wolfhelm will be one of the judges, and I'd like to get 2 more.

I'm going to allow just about anyone who has at least moderate skill, I would like to get as many as possible.

 

[Oziris]

Here is my WIP.

 

[~Void~]

I like it a lot, actually.

WIP it. WIP it good.

 

[Oziris]

Are those custom models? because i can see they are not, but i am still wondering...
I like it, it's a nice idea. What are those rock models? they look sexy!

Edit: When you look at it close, you will see that some models are placed wrong.

 

[~Void~]

This contest allows 3 imported models of your choice. I chose the dome, the rocks, and another tree I'm going to use.

 

[dansaDisco]

Well, why not enter

First WIP:

Edit:

New concept, no need for this screenshot.

 

[~Void~]

Nice idea. It might look cooler on a table in a room, or on the floor in the middle a room, though.

 

[dansaDisco]

Hmm, you might got a point there.

Although I don't wanna use a table (makes hills pretty complex to make lol) but i could definitely move the walls back

 

[~Void~]

Maybe you could give a camera angle that shows a bit of floor too, because right now it looks like a countryside with a bigass fortress in it

Haha.

Actually I think I'm gonna remake most of it anyways, as usual ^^

But you gave me a nice idea
(At least it sounds awesome in my head, though it's a secret

 

[Kwah]

I am now making plans to enter this.

 

[Nbah]

As am I. Probably going to start working today or something.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Edit = oups nvm...

well, hum than will still think of a better idea..

 

[~Void~]

Wippy #2. Gosh darn all those who said I wasn't going to enter AHEM BELGARATH. ;P

 

[dansaDisco]

Edit = oups nvm...

well, hum than will still think of a better idea..

Shutgun yourself Mr Goblin

 

[Chaos.]

My experimental WIP.



The idea was to make a mini naga city inside an aquarium. I think that the naga city itself turned out pretty well. But the rest sucks. But i just got a better idea.

Quick question

Since we are alowed 3 imports, can i make a request to a friend for those models, or do they have to be preexistent somewhere? I have a cool idea but i need a new model in order to make it.

So if that is allowed, than this is my WIP (removed everything except for the naga city.)

 

[~Void~]

I like the WIP, but not the final. The reasons behind this is that you could have picked a better camera angle and a better setting. I think showing this city inside a fishtank would be absolutely brilliant.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

WOOT.. SHOTGUN on TURTLE ISLAND!

 

[Chaos.]

I'll keep trying with the fish tank thing to see if i can get a good effect. But i personally would rather try my new idea. So can i make a request for a model to someone for this comp?

After i finished the city, i rushed the rest. So that is why it looks like crap. I just wanted to see if it would work. Do you know of a better model of a glass wall? Because i dont really like that energy field thing, or whatever it is, that i got from xmg. It was the only thing that i could find.

 

[Belgarath]

Wippy #2. Fuck all you cuntbags who said I wasn't going to enter AHEM BELGARATH. ;P

Ahhh, I'm working on the execution order for you, no worries. Also, that tree's leaves are crap. Use another IMO. Also, your trees going into the rocks kinda looks weird.
Just wondering, you used bush 4s for the grass... amirite?
Another thing, might want to put the z scale of the water lower.

 

[CoBrA b]

An early-stage WIP. This is a galaxy (with other galaxies in the background). My plan is to zoom in on a solar system in this galaxy, then a life-form on a planet in that solar system, then a cell in that life-form, then an atom in that cell, then a neutron in that atom, which will look remarkably similar (not identical, but similar) to the original galaxy, showing how everything follows a fractyl-like pattern (I know that neutrons, protons, and electrons aren't tiny galaxies, but it gets the message across). So, yes, this will be a series of terrains (all made in the same map file, if I can help it). If that is not allowed/disapproved of, I will try to come up with something else.

So, here's the galaxy. Keep in mind that this is a WIP and I plan on making some serious improvements.

 

[Oziris]

CoBrA b, that looks really good, but somehow it looks like a spam of lights i wounder why did you not use Nabu models. You will have allot of work to do with placing stars.

How do i make no rolling shores on waterfalls?

Edit: here is an Update on the terrain.

 

[Celaquil]

As I am stunned and blown away by Voids awesome idea, it will be hard for me to come up with anything, but if I do, I will enter.

All good suggestions, I'll see what I can do. And no, I used blizzard shrubs

 

[Wolfhelm]

Thats really cool Cobra, i have wanted to make somthing like that for a long time. Now i can just look at yours

 

[raid1000]

i was actually thinking of making something like void did
looking for ideas now

 

[Oziris]

Any comments on mine? why does everyone ignore my post xD

 

[Celaquil]

Alright, I am in. I wont be posting any WIPs though, as I dont want raid or any other idea stealers to come and take my idea

 

[viiva]

You could make like a globe

 

[~Void~]

That would be awesome if anyone could pull it off.

 

[2-P]

Aww the city under glass, cute. Had that idea roaming in my head for like a year now, but could never be bothered to do it. It was, of course, in a much cooler setting than yours Void. =P

You gonna do something more with the bottom? Those mass archs don't look very appealing.

 

[Wolfhelm]

I like those trees Void used. But it would be much cooler if the globe was sitting on a desk insted or randomly laying on the ground in the middle of a forest somwhere. Also that cammera angle with the 2 trees on either side has been done to death already.

Maybe. Anyways, I wanted to put it in a forest because that makes it look as if the globe was lost.

 

[dansaDisco]

perhaps use a normal size boy running away from it somewhere in the far distance? ^^

So it might seem as he just dropped it

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

So this is what you meant by small world... pretty awesome entries, actually.

 

[Chaos.]

New WIP



Still experimenting. Not sure if im satisfied with the setup. Obviuosly still got alot of work to do on it.

 

[~Void~]

Yeah, I think you need to take a higher resolution screenshot, and I also think you need to give the tank a base, because right now the base of it is the table

Another thing, it doesn't really look like there's water in the tank, it just looks like it is made of blue glass.

 

[Chaos.]

Of course. Those will all be fixed. I was just trying to figure out a good setup.

The screenshot that i took was too far away. That is a zoomed in version of the original pic. That is why it is kind of blurry.
