Terraining Contest #4 - Construction

[RunBa]

Void, Raid and Famous are 1s three.

 

[lnfernal]

My last submission. I know that I won't win, it lacks too much originality. But I wanted to make something like this a long time ago. I aimed for a boring building and I'm happy with it.

 

[raid1000]

infernal how about fixing the sky?

 

[SuperCow]

How do i fix the sky btw? I am pretty new to this terrain stuff

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Umm... Gilles said no imports right? The link with the picture "The Tower of Babel" uses alot of imports.

 

[FamousPker49]

What the in the hell are you talking about?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

the Babel tower is ONLY an example of construction .. just to show people what they are expecting..

 

[Just_Spectating]

kinda makes us all go "Wah, it used imports to look good"

 

[Anachron]

Doesn't look bad, but others are also cool.

The building is enviable. I don't like the environment, however. It could use some spicing up, realistic or not (like torches made of columns )

kinda makes us all go "Wah, it used imports to look good"

Pardon me if I misinterpreted you, but I really am sick of people saying that my terrains only look good because I used imports and that anyone can put a bunch of pretty models together to make something amazing. That is such bullshit!

First of all, you have seen from my entry to this contest that I am clearly capable of making something that looks good without imports.
Secondly, I must say that not just anyone can put imports together to make something amazing, unless they have one model that is the whole scene... which is irrelevant to this situation.
Thirdly, imports just enhance how a terrain looks, they don't make it look from shitty to good. With the exception of dragonforce, I might make the analogy to an effects pedal for a guitar; without awesome distortion the music would still sound good (assuming it's good music in the first place), but distortion and effects make it sound better. It's like photoshopping a photograph, it probably looked good before, but you are just trying to make it better.

I hope I made my point well enough.

 

[cool_is_i]

New WIP, it might be my final. I added some concept.

And Famous, I am truly sorry I criticized you, because now I know how hard it is to put life into a bunch of doodads D:

im out

 

[NinjasDontFight]

What the in the hell are you talking about?

I was just confused when Gilles said no imports, and he used the Babel as a example of constructive work.

So thanks to Mr.Goblin for clarifing that Gilless was just using it as a constructive example.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

omfg infernals pawns like crazy!!!

thatiz the shit. although yes there are tons of mistakes, its just so awsome.
O.O

 

[Mr.Goblin]

i think its my FINAL SUBMISSION!! cause i don't really have time tomorow to work on it .. and i'm leaving for the week-end so no computer or internet connection D:

hope you like it...

sorry for the quality btw.. its in Jpg.. will get it in Tga..

 

[Verhalthur]

Mr.Goblin, I love it. The color scheme is fantastic and the execution phenomenal.

You have my vote.

 

[~Void~]

I think the execution is subpar, to be honest. The color scheme is quite nice. I just think the lightness of some objects proportionally to others (rocks specifically) is terrible, and so is that hill. It looks like it should be a cliff but there is gravel...? Wtf?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well will work on the rocks color.. and maybe on the cliff but i really have no time to edit it >< ... but maybe will find sometimes tomorow afternoon

 

[~Void~]

I think you could also lower those spikes near the infernal's mouth a bit.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

ah LOL didn't saw that.. thanks lol .. a rib that is too high nice .. i'm happy that you told me that..

<3

 

[Mr.Goblin]

what are you talking about? wich volcano are you talking about?

and for the foreground i already told that i'm going to work on it.. and the inferno that is too much blended with the terrain well >< sadly i can't do a thing about that, cause inferno are DARK vocanic rocks.. and the fire is green.. so meeh >< i can't make the infernal red or blue etc.. ><

 

[~Void~]

Famous your volcano doesn't look like a volcano.

 

[FamousPker49]

Omfg srs?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

omg infernal iz pawnage...

i might vote for your entry again

 

[A.R.]

I still say you need to make your infernal more yellow - it's still the same colour as the background and so doesn't really stand out as much as it could.

 

[Anachron]

New WIP!

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wow,it's okay for a WIP ,I want to see the real deal!

 

[raid1000]

who is judging this contest anyways?

 

[RunBa]

I can't go onto page 32. so weird ... Gilles is the Judge, i presume.
EDIT:Oh it's not weird, I got it why...

 

[Childeric]

Announcement:

Unfortunately i am gonna have to withdraw from the contest. I havent been able to work on my entry the past two weeks, for a number of reasons. Class, work, my map project, as well as some legal troubles (underage drinking. [f*ck the police]).

Sorry to disappoint.

Good luck to everyone!

Sorry to hear. But maybe you should lern2runfaster. ;P

 

[varsaigen]

D= I was looking forward to what you could've made!

But maybe you should lern2runfaster. ;P

XD Always helps.

 

[Naze]

New entry, the other one sucked.

Still so much to be done in this one, so do not mind about the hand's weird format or about the sky (that I have no idea on how to fix).

 

[Mr.Goblin]

wow i can smell the epicness out of it..

Naze,it could be a bit better!

The main thing is that it's boring!

 

[Anachron]

Funny that I do that many WIPS but I think you can see how fast it goes on

 

[Belgarath]

Naiss, except for that screw-up sky. Try scrolling out while holding ctrl.
Goblin, you may want to remove that fountain up top right, as well as lower those spikes by the infernal's mouth (as already said)

And Gilles and I are judging

So do you like my idea?

 

[Naze]

WIP, WIP, WIP!

Better?

 

[varsaigen]

yes. Now you need to add more to the picture, like something actually made with doodads. XD

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that. You could be a judge if you so wish since you were supposed to last time. Let me know, and I'll make sure to PM you this time.

The judges would be me, Belgarath (right?) and Childeric then.

Sorry to hear. But maybe you should lern2runfaster. ;P

Don't try that one. My friend has ended up in jail twice for running from the cops. One time he was tired (drunk obviously) and found that the door to the mall was open (the janitor left it unlocked). He went in and slept on a bench, but then the cops came, and he tried to run and got tackled. His whole face was cut up. Second time they crashed our party because of noise complaints and he wasn't even in trouble and he tried to run and got tackled again. By a girl. Although at the same time another friend friend of mine threw his shoe at a cop and ran away and made it home (same party).

Sorry about the OT, I thought it was a good story.

 

[FamousPker49]

:evil_grin:

 

[Gilles]

Why is it fuzzy? Did you ever save it as jpeg?

 

[FamousPker49]

Here, this one is better.

 

[raid1000]

lol famous xD i still think his holding his manhood in his left hand
and lol Childeric omg USA sux u can drive a car at 16 but cant drink till the age of 21 wtf?

 

[Naze]

Famous, what are you using for the sun?

BTW, here is my final (I think):

 

[FamousPker49]

Well, it's a sekrit!

But where's the construction...?

 

[Naze]

Huh... the hand in the middle, that I did using the terrain pallet instead of the doodad one.

 

[raid1000]

tats interesting... (i think)

 

[FamousPker49]

Well that's obvious, but idk how into the theme it is... That's just my thoughts.

 

[varsaigen]

I believe the contest was about making something out of doodads. Not terrain.

Raid1000, please don't dis my country just because you don't like the rules in it. >.> The reason they have that rule in place is because many teenagers are eager to drive a car. And, they have little experiance for the first few years of their driving. So, if you had a 16 year old behind the wheel and you gave him whisky, he'd be dead within the hour, or his passengers, or other drivers would). Drunk people don't die easily in crashes because their muscles are much looser than they need to be and thus can bend in awekward directions suddenly. That is also why they have bad coordination when walking, not to mention the obvious effects of alcohal on the mind, further destroying coordination and judgement. The reaction time jumps dramatically when one is drunk and makes them more likely to crash. Ok, my point should be made. :/
