Terraining Contest #16 - Castles/Cathedrals

[Edge45]

What is more, you may want to get rid of those vines lurking in the air, one is really zoomed and looks blurry and stretched.

EDIT: Cathedral building is complete, colors may change, perhaps few touches in the future, but right now it is solid. Total of 6019 doodads were placed by hand for cathedral building only.

WIP: completed cathedral building

That is insane dude, I love it

 

[MasterTrainer]

Added some trees outside the castle, and overgrowing ones inside it. Also added some kind of area in front of the building, as some sort of garden/welcoming area. Well it was supposed to, but the owners abandoned the castle due to reasons.

 

[Vinz]

@AP, good job, that is a lot of work!

@MT Looks good so far.

Not bad. I like where this is going man

 

[Deolrin]

3rd WIP, changed the bridge, and removed the vine at the front. Changed some details too. Thanks for the suggestions, looking forward to more ideas/things to change/add/remove.

Wip3

Great stuff so far. I really don't like the blood-rune and the ugly skull gate, though, they seem lower quality than the rest. I recommend using this doodad pack by Mc !. You can try this one as well.

I'm curious, when does the terrain come into this terrain?

I pray that you won't have clipping problems later on.

Thanks!

New WiP
I added a sky (sorta, it's just storm clouds), and more overgrowth. Also decided that the new area would be a some kind of wizard tower, so the people would be able to study the arcane arts. And other small details.

 

[APproject]

Thanks, guys.

I'm curious, when does the terrain come into this terrain?

Sorry, what do you mean? Well yeah, it does look like one big model, but started making the environment yesturday.

I pray that you won't have clipping problems later on.

So do I.

EDIT: Started having doodads disappearing when set to screenshot angle, hope to solve it somehow.

 

[Vinz]

Perhaps model extents? I'm not sure. Looks cool and massive though.

[Heinvers]

Have you tried to drag those sun rays closer to the camera? ;D

Damn they're so lonely there
Those flares, uhh nooo....those don't look good. Right now they conflict to much with the sun rays IMO.

btw, those mountains look like boobs

you mean those sun rings ray, i think no
and lol, actually those things there will be laters, I need to finish the castle

 

[Heinvers]

I think the flares/sun rings (how you call those) look out of place right now. Well finish the castle, oh and maybe adding some broken bricks and broken walls to that castle would add some love to it

 

[Edge45]

wut?, but my castle will be.............attacked!? ?

 

[Heinvers]

Your castle lacks small details, that's why I advice you to try that

 

[Vinz]

I think the flares need to be straight in a line. And stronger with smaller blue ones. The castle looks good though. Also the boobies...

 

[Strydhaizer]

I am not really seeing a castle , i dont know , it was just a medieval dam? . :<
You dont really need sun flares , those things will just ruin the terrain.

Actually , i like Heinvers' idea , you must add detail to it. Add revealing interiors , try looking at "Refuge in Ruins" terrain [You will notice some holes/destroyed walls where you can see the interiors or things behind the wall, thats what i'm talking about] . You might also want to add parapets at the top of the wall to make it look like a castle wall.

Add some trees too, maybe the left place is a good place for the trees

 

[sonofjay]

Hope you guys don't mind a late participant. Only saw this thread a couple of days ago and only decided to participate a few minutes ago.

Very early wip.



Trying to make a castle that is in the middle of reconstruction or something.

Nice one. The idea of having it under construction is really cool.

Its not a damn, its a castle with waterfalls, a little dam-ish, :''
And yeah, maybe I should just remove those flares

will then, I'll try (but not too much)
and the left side will do

 

[Heinvers]

Do something about the boob mountains in the background man
Honestly the left side lacks at this moment, it looks like something out of this scenery. It's not as connected to the rest of the scene as is your castle-dam part.

@jayjay, nice start

Edit: Will be trying later to make an entry hopefully ;/

 

[median]

Here comes the 4th WIP, changed the bridge to hand-made one, did building-changes,(Big thanks to Deolrin for those sweet doodads^^) and did other.. stuff.

Wip4

 

[Deleted member 238589]

@median: It looks way better.

 

[APproject]

Good to see you joining the contest, sonofjay.

Don't let it go, Heinvers, looking forward to it.

My terrain is almost complete, few touches left as well as sky and the lighting. Will post the final entry only, no more WIPs from me.

 

[sonofjay]

@Heinvers

And lets hope that it doesn't only stay at the start. ;D

@AP

Its also good to see another playable terrainer on this contest.

My terrain is almost complete, few touches left as well as sky and the lighting. Will post the final entry only, no more WIPs from me.

Wait, you're also gonna play around with lightning effects? Crap, looks like I'm the only who will not even gonna bother because.. well.. I'm just bad with that.

Just a small WIP peek.

Finally decided the design of the wall. I don't want to use a pre-made wall like Ogre's RIR wall or Tal's wall since its just too main stream on this contest for some reason.



And the early look of the towers. Doesn't have a roofs yet and I think I'll add a third layer too make them a little bit more taller.

 

[APproject]

Never did anything with lighting effects before, but I have a decent idea for lighting, I hope it will succeed. And those towers looks really clean and cool.

 

[2-P]

Hope this quick lighting guide will help you:

Beginner-level: Spam glows
Advanced-level: Spam different colored glows
Master-level: Spam different colored glows and get lucky

[War3Citizen]

hmm how to participate in the contest...I am a newbie at hiveworkshop...

 

[Strydhaizer]

Just post your WIP/entry here in this thread...

 

[War3Citizen]

Okay thanks for tips...

 

[sonofjay]

Welp small update on my entry.






Errr. My castle is becoming more and more like of a cathedral for some reason.

 

[APproject]

Looks like cathedral indeed, you're doing it unconsciously, since cathedrals are more likely to bring art.

 

[sonofjay]

Yeah. I actually didn't plan ahead of how I want my building to look like but that is what makes terraining fun.

I guess I'll just make it a hybrid of castle and cathedral since I plan to make some noticeable castle parts later.

 

[APproject]

Same method here, never planning anything. Mixing things up is fun, for example, I did mix gothic style with a dome which is not a feature of gothic architecture.

WiP 10

WiP 10

Remove the Flares and rebuilded the top floor, and added some stuffs and filled the left side

 

[sonofjay]

@Edge

Your building looks more of a small fortress than a castle but it really looks good.

___________________________________________________________________

Welp. Main building is almost done. Just need to work on the back part then I can finally work on side buildings and I'm also planning to make a garden or something.

Click

PS

Those two paladins are the carpenters of the building.

 

[Strydhaizer]

New Update of my work.

-Added small bells at the second building. (A sign of christmas)
-Added guy with a boat (Not sure if it is a good idea to add boating guy there since the boat is really dark. I will look for more better/lighter boat later on)
-Lesser Sun Intensity (Because it looks very white when viewed on other desktops with high contrast settings)
-Re-Added the Lightposts without lights to the garden

Click

For the next update , i might add loraderon and cityscape stuffs (flags) , just to give color I might also add some magical stuffs if possible

 

[APproject]

Good to see WIPs coming.

Make sure you do not push too far, Stryderzero.

If you'll gonna put magic, make it holy. Catherdral right? Anyways, looking great!

I'm getting near to the last wip, I may can't win this, but I'm just participating anyways

 

[Vinz]

I would probably join if this didn't intertwine with the Cine and Hero Contests. ;_;

E: So it ends 10 days after the cine one, I'll try to make a terrain in that time.

 

[War3Citizen]

Oooooooh shiiiid i did't got any idea of terraining yet...

 

[Heinvers]

Put some clouds in that sky Edge and don't overdo it with glows.

-text-

You should remove that unit from the gondola, it's too obvious out there(or you could find one that has clothes) :/

 

[War3Citizen]

I think if we want to make a castle,we need to make from inside the castle area to outside the castle area,isn't it?

 

[Strydhaizer]

or you could find one that has clothes

dont u like naked guys?

 

[sonofjay]

I think if we want to make a castle,we need to make from inside the castle area to outside the castle area,isn't it?

Not really necessary.

_________________________

Another wip of my entry. Early look of the corridor. Still messy and unfinished but its just a wip. There will be a courtyard of some sort in front of it later.

 

[Edge45]

Very nice sono,

@Heinvers

Put some clouds in that sky Edge and don't overdo it with glows.

ok, and I didn't change the glows, its just the same as the other last wips (Maybe)
