• You must show at least one unfinished preview of your submission, before the deadline, as proof that it’s yours. Also you are adviced to keep the original map until the contest is over (the host strongly recommends you to post as many WiPs as possible to keep the contest vivid).
• Your submission may not be started/made before the official launch of the contest.
• Teamwork is not allowed.

[Asomath]

See, and I was just about ready to push for another terraining contest.

...Too bad ~Void~ isn't here...

Anyways, good luck to anyone who decides to compete!

[AIagremm]

Hm. Interesting theme, and very wide too. Good luck, as I doubt I'll be terraining.

 

[Kingz]

Oooh i am so joining this.
I always wanted to join a terraining contest.

Edit:

What about -Kobas- packs with ripped WoW models for terraining?

Edit2:

Create a terrain from a reference video, picture or screenshot.

I am guessing this isn't limited to real world pictures, fantasy pictures apply also?

WoW models are allowed.

No, it's not limited there. It can also be a piece of concept art

 

[Hemske]

Oh man, this theme sounds so awesome. Too bad I suck so bad it is embarrasing at terraining D:

But very well, I think I'll join anyways. Just for fun.

edit: So there is no size limit or something, on the area of the map that is? (first terraining contest for me)

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hmm. I can join.

 

[Pharaoh_]

No, no limit either in map size or file size

I wish you all good luck!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

This starts today? Okay, I'm now in 3 contests same time plus I have a campaign. Luckily I have vacation so I believe I can do all this.

 

[HammerFist132]

Questions can terrain be based on final cinematic about fight of Ilidan and Arthas. And does video, picture and other thing need to be based on WC3 (tft) or can be wow or any other theme. Cave with bats, kolorado river, anything?(sry for noobish question i haven't standet so good). OfC i am in

 

[Kingz]

Afaik ANY picture/video/screenshot apply (while within common sense).

Tho from so much inspiration and nice stuff do you really have to recreate a already made warcraft 3 scene?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes to all those questions, HammerFist132!

 

[Kingz]

Heya guys i just wanted to attach some images i found on the web i found inspirational for terraining.

You can check them out at my album labeled "stuff".
Or in the hidden tags below, have fun.

I myself am thinking of trying to recreate the #4.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I'm sure 2, 3, 4, 5 can be achieved within two weeks

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Does it have to be a reference to Warcraft?

[Bernkastel]

Lets see if I could bother. If I will however, London will burn.

 

[morbent]

Fuck!!! Why did you decide to make all contests now, couldn't it be after the others have ended like, 8 August... I wanted to join this one too...

I've got such a great picture...

 

[Pharaoh_]

Why did you decide to make all contests now

Cause.. we have no moderator for the Terrain Board and it would be a shame neither of you to be able to work on what you like. :/

@Bernkastel, oooo, sounds nice!
@MaTiJa97, it can be, but the contest is not limited to WarCraft III.

 

[AIagremm]

Lets see if I could bother. If I will however, London will burn.

I see what you're gonna do there. Go for it.

 

[sonofjay]

Damn i'm also a participant on ChaosRealm terraining contest and I'm short on time, but I'll try to make something for this one.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

That is gonna be my reference picture.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I think it's excellent.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

It has good layer-work, nice fogged things in the background, water and reflections, a sunk boat, some trees, waterfalls, not too hard-to-make sky... Just perfect for me :3

 

[Bernkastel]

Indeed it has, doesn't it?

 

[BeTaGod-]

I am in!

Btw, @Kingz, thoose pictures are awesome.

EDIT: Silly question, but it is not specified on the rules. Ultimate Terraining Map is allowed, right?

 

[HammerFist132]

I have asked kingz to do his picture #6 what he have suggested here. I know to it is really hard to make that castle but i will try

 

[Celaquil]

Cause.. we have no moderator for the Terrain Board and it would be a shame neither of you to be able to work on what you like. :/

I got this the other way around, why didn't you find a new Terrain Moderator BEFORE you start hosting contests? <.<

From this to that, I have a great idea and a good reference picture, you might see me popping in sooner or later, and if not I might sign up for judging.

Also, regarding the rules and current events: How is your point of view on "former" public resources?
- Such as Red's skins and Franks models, so on and so forth, in terms of using for the terrain.

It'd be such a shame to not be able to use them.

Ahh, and proofreading:

Map may consist of any resource as long as it is public and not ripped or stolen.

- Ironically this quite answers my question, I'm compelled to ask nonetheless.

Oh and about the "Winners" thread, while quite useless as it might seem,
will it keep track from former mini-contests or only new ones?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Having you either as a participant or a judge is ideal, Keiji.

"Former" resources are fine.

I will integrate older contests into the victorious sticky, yes.

 

[Codric]

Oh man, this theme sounds so awesome. Too bad I suck so bad it is embarrasing at terraining D:

But very well, I think I'll join anyways. Just for fun.

edit: So there is no size limit or something, on the area of the map that is? (first terraining contest for me)

I know how you feel

 

[HOooDy]

Finally.

 

[Kingz]

Just a question:

Will these be frozen also?

Edit:

The Arena is now frozen until 2nd of August, 23:59 pm! Mini-Contests do not get frozen, because they are sectional events.

Nvm

 

[HammerFist132]

I am slowly losing motivation

 

[Bernkastel]

You're losing motivation, even though I don't think there's any progress.

 

[sonofjay]

Well looks like I won't be able to join here, so for that, I can be a judge only if you can't find one.

 

[Zeatherann]

How can the terrain be made? I have a fairly epic terrain generator...

 

[Deleted member 212788]

This couldn't have come in a better moment . It's high time i started joining contests. Just one question, Is UTM allowed ?

EDIT:Here's my picture

Hidden

 

[Bernkastel]

Ofcourse.

 

[sonofjay]

I believe that one was already been done, its on the legendary terrain thread. Anyway I would love to see a copy of that with your own style.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

I've seen a picture similar to it but not exactly the same. But i love mystical purple waterfalls

 

[AIagremm]

Yea, has been done already. Though you might as well do it, I think judges will not be very impressed.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Guess I'll find something else then

EDIT:

Updated my picture, Think this is better actually

 

[Sin'dorei300]

I join.

EDIT:
Here's my ref. pic:
