Archipelago vs M0rbid vs WherewolfTherewolf

[M0rbid]

Ok, I'm done, just count the one, you accept: if you accept the new one, I would be very happy

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

It bugs me to no end that I can't get that bottom shadow looking good, unfortunately with the camera angle not all the shadow units would show up, and that's also the only good camera angle in which the edge of the map doesn't show (can't the map any bigger).

Anyways good luck, seems like the scores might be pretty close here (I just know I'm going to lose some points on those imperfections I couldn't fix, but meh a challenge is a challenge).


So any word on when this may get judged?

 

[M0rbid]

So do you accept my newest screenshot? ^^
I think your screenie looks very well done!

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Oh sorry, wasn't paying attention - yeah your screen shot is fine and I accept it. I really don't care how long it takes you - I would say until a Judge comes in to finally score these then your fine lol

 

[Archipelago]

Well, I made this yesterday but I didn't know if it was ok if a posted it.

 

[M0rbid]

So no everyone has a final version I think, shall we now say we're finished and a judge can go to work?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Judgment please..........

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Bump - some judging would be really nice right now - it's been over a week since the end date

Alright guys, lets do some judging!

WherewolfTherewolf

I do like the initial idea of this, and the constructions, or ruins if you want, look complex and well made. But that’s mostly where it ends, your terrain is screaming emptiness when it comes to the surroundings, and if desert feel was what you went for, you didn’t really nail it, but that’s not your fault, as I have yet to see a good looking desert terrain, it just isn’t doable in the wc3 editor. And those brown things, shadows, roads? Hard to define, and even harder to like, they kind of just look like they were placed there as a last resort of some detail. Also, it’s never a good thing to use blizzard trees, they just DO look horrible. Some of your ruin parts look rather stretched, most obviously the arches at the center of the terrain, which surely is meant as some detail to the bridge that goes between the two spires.

M0rbid

Alright, Morbid. Your terrain looks… Random. And that’s not really in a good way. It SEEMS you were going for a sort of contrast-ish terrain, but to my eyes you didn’t do this in a very good way. The green plants don’t go with the red desert thing, at all. The only green stuff that moderately fits the terrain is the trees in the background, which, oh wait, their pink. And the terrain as a whole doesn’t show really all that much, there is some walls, some green plants, a log, some statues, the issue is; I don’t really know where I am supposed to look, your terrain seem to be lacking what I like to name a “center of focus” which can be defined as something that catches your eye when looking at a terrain, something that makes it stand out, not something that is all over the place. In short, it lacks a hell of a lot tinting, and a REAL center of focus.

Archipelago

Right, so, it’s a jungle, and theres a ruin, firstly I just want to say; extremely original idea. Anyways, opposed to Morbid, your making it QUITE clear where I am supposed to direct my attention, EXTREMELY overly clear in fact. Those yellow glow things, just what are they meant to be? Sun light? Well, they mostly look like… Well, they don’t make sense at all. You should look up some pictures of some real sunlight coming up from behind some ruin and then look at yours and ask yourself what you are doing wrong. Mostly it is that you’re having TOO much light. Your doodad placement seems to be good enough, however, I heavily advice you to use more than ONE tree model when making a forest, and variation in size is also a good thing for making the terrain look better.

So, thats that. Since I have not been given any information about how I am supposed to judge this, I will give no points and rather just announce who won for my part.

I give my vote to Archipelago, for being closest to what I see as the theme, and for the best doodad placement. Oh and please dont take my judgements in any bad way, I mean them just as pointers to what you can improve uppon.

Sorry for being late, by the way.

[M0rbid]

But I thought, that there is also a pucblic poll or something like it's written in the first post!?


"Challenge judging:
Poll (& Keji if he wants to)"

 

[Dr. House]

Even if there would be a public vote than my vote would go to Wherewolftherewolf

 

[Pyritie]

what is happening here

 

[M0rbid]

Nothing anymore, you already made the rep awards and stuff.

 

[Pyritie]
