Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[idodik]

Skycraft, imo that's an even worse camera angle. By increasing the distance from the main fight scene you're creating total confusion among the viewers of the photo as for what's going on there. If you insist on using that angle of course you have to get rid of that tree. To be honest, the angle in the upper WiP looks much better.
Also the tree between the bandits and the farm is ugly and has more trunk than leaves, and gives nothing to the frame.

 

[indomitable1319]

Add dark fog to give it a night feeling.
If it was early morning or something like that; how could they NOT see that bandit wizard and that knight on the right??? Did they have their eyes removed or something???

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Go easy on the cat tails, a little to many.

Humans vs Ancient Elementals

WIP 6 - Might be final

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I think u need to change the order of the elements, put the fire one in the back so the movement of the picture is better, hes so bright he takes ur eyes off the rest, that or dim him down. And the paladin is kind of invisible because of his lack of light.

 

[Nagir]

well, here's what i've got so far, not sure if i'll add some more, but..... enjoy

 

[indomitable1319]

@Adiktuz
The area on the left side with the archers is empty. Please add doodads, grass, rocks, etc.

k, i'll figure out something

 

[indomitable1319]

What?
That was to Adiktuz, Nagir...

 

[Adiktuz]

@Nagir - use the camera angle of the first pic coz its better than the 2nd one... ^_^

 

[Nagir]

Here's some new pics. also added a waterfall on the right side of the humans, but couldn't get a good pic with it. anyway, here's the pics:

 

[Adiktuz]

I suggest that you decide what camera angle and positioning to use... ^_^

it would be better and easier to spot changes and give suggestions when the pics have been taken from a constant viewpoint...

 

[VegaKotes]

This is my final entry

You've got this contest all wrong. This isn't about terraining a map, it's about posting one single screenshot as a piece of art.

 

[Tamerleine]

here's mine,
I wanted a bloody war-like feel with smell of blood everywhere so I change the sky red, added red fog, and tinted the water red (but It doesn't appear red in-game)....not realistic though....

and half the units there are supposed to be dead (and they are in-game) and in WE, they're just standing in a pool of blood....

 

[indomitable1319]

The blood doodad is too bright, try making it have a 100, 100, 100 tint.
Apart from the blood; good work!

Green circle of doom on the left.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Well, rocks are staying as is unless I can get ahold of an awesome model that doesn't give me hell.

There's 4 screenies to it, I present: Eternal Conflict.


Please note that the first one with the reflection is the theme of the battle and should be what's judged, the other 3 are eye candy for the spectators!

The Battle!

Kinda wish more animations were displayed, but hey, there's a floating shaman!

2nd is my fav... reminds me of 300, that was epic.
"Then we will fight in the shade!" Only about 20 billion less arrows.

Also if you notice in the center of the 3rd, there's a footman looking up, lol (was not planned!)

 

[Vizel]

what's ... with the dimensions? They're....skewed.

 

[SA Dashie]

wow i never though of this before but i might actualy stand a chance in this with my Ashenvale Forest Defence map and will create animations as from i am skilled in most parts of map editing as from i am 14 and have only been editing for nearly 2 years.
I will be a contestant and will improve terrain of my map as much as I can.
But one thing can someone tell me how to make a realy good sky display

 

[indomitable1319]

And it is a 5-star puzzle as well.

@AyeKantSpel
Very good. It's just like what Vizel said: why are they skewed?
But still; I like the way the battle field is done; and I think the sky is a BIT too dark; try tinting it a bit lighter.

 

[M0rbid]

Nenad94 was taken care of and reported so no need to continue talking about him.

I would like everyone that submits a finished and final version of his terrain, to please post it without adding more screenshots, since this is about 1 screenshot not about a series of photos. A description or explanation is totally fine though
Thank you.

 

[Oziris]

Twenty more days, a long way. I hope more people join, lets make the judge's life a horror!
We need more judges damn it! One more at least. I'll soon start updating my entry.

 

[chilla_killa]

I will soon try to work on the sky of my terrain.

 

[fladdermasken]

I vote for Chaos as a judge, if he would agree on it naturally.

 

[Oziris]

I think he said something about joining the contest but yeah, it would be cool if he was a judge.

 

[sPy]

I'm joining the contest
First contest, first terrain showcase

Here's my first WIP:


I got two question though...

1. Do I need to post my map at my final submission?
2. Can I put a trigger for visibility? Because I don't know how to make entire map visibility without triggering it.

1) nope
2) well if ur going for an in-game screenie then maybe its just fine...

btw, I'm thinking you pasted the pic on photoshop after pressing the print screen button that's why there was a note saying Screen Captured... when you press PrtScn on the WE, it creates a screenie on the screenshots folder of wc3, so I suggest you edit the screenie there so that there would be no text saying Screen Captured...

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Skewed? Not entirely sure I understand.

 

[Skycraft]

Skewed? Not entirely sure I understand.

Skewed: Twisting or inbalance of proper direction.

I think what they mean to say is that the camera angle is too distorted and the image is too small that it's not capturing all the potential beauty of the terrain.

 

[idodik]

sPY, that looks amazing. Right now that field is a little too monotone but that will be a lot better when you add the units... If you'll add the units.

 

[Sheephunter]

This is my final entry..

Edit: Added some more "life".

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I dont see a battle, could u change the angle?

 

[Sheephunter]

I dont see a battle, could u change the angle?

In the first post it stand clearly "Battlefields: This terrain has to represent a battleground while or after a battle of two parties"

This is how it looks AFTER the demons attacked the Zulian temple.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

yeah but i dont see that.

 

[Deolrin]

I don't get it. Where's the battle? :S

At the very least have an army of demons coming out of that portal.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

that could be just very old ruins, it doesnt look like anyone faught there.

 

[M0rbid]

@Sheephunter: The other users are right, after a battle does not mean, and I underlined that several times, that it can display everything you want it to display, but to show a BATTLEFIELD.
Right now your terrain does not really represent this.

 

[Sheephunter]

Thanks for feedback, changed the first post.

Hope ppl are happy now.

 

[Deolrin]

Meh.
My concern is you put too much focus on the environment and trees and forgot about he battlefield part.
I believe it would be awesome if there was a huge amount of Felguards led by Doomguards or Pit Lords coming out of the portal, walking in a straight line, destroying everything in their path and leaving only blight and demonic fires behind.

 

[Sheephunter]

Well, its 20 days left? I might come up with something awesome later.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Thank you.

Is my post with multiple screenies acceptable or do I need to resubmit just the one screen shot?

 

[Adiktuz]

Is my post with multiple screenies acceptable or do I need to resubmit just the one screen shot?

just 1, I think...

 

[M0rbid]

1 shot please, so that the poll we be based on an equal base for everyone, that's why

 

[Frutz]

Here's my first post, first contest and first entry
haha

[snowman990]

[Tleno]
