Theme

Each contestant must create a part of cityscape using the ultimate terraining map. The part should contain at least 3 buildings and an unlimited number of additional areas. Filling the whole map is not an imperative.

Rules

• - At least 3 buildings must be assembled
• - Only ultimate terraining map can be used
• - Custom imports may be allowed but they must first be made available for all contestants
• - Your final submission must contain an image of your cityscape from bird's perspective and a physically attached map
• - This is not an artistic terrain so both visible and invisible walls, windows, anything must be placed in the map

Criteria

Criteria	Description	Marks
Overall impression	The overall look of your cityscape	/5
Functionality	Well, people do not feel like walking around an entire block just to reach their first neighbour	/5
Realism	This refers to warcraft 3 realism. Copying the architecture of any warcraft race is allowed yet buildings must be assembled logically	/5
Precision	As you all know, precision is of great importance in architecture, your buildings should stand up straight	/5
Skill	Complexity of your buildings is important as it represents your skills as an architect	/10
Design	The choice of materials and their assembly, a very important criterion	/10

The entries will be marked with 50% judging, 50% public poll. Once the deadline has been reached, all entries submitted into the contest will be marked, and a public poll opened.

I thought we could use a new and original contest so i came up with this.

 

[~Void~]

I'd get ass fucked in this. Lol. But it is a good idea, I'm sure many would participate.

 

[Volvox]

I'm not so sure, people don't even bother visiting this thread... Except you

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I'm confused on realisim here.

Can we not, for example, make a floating high elf city or something?

For example.

 

[Volvox]

Well, the fact that it's floating is w3 realistic but if a part of the building is floating for no good reason(eg. poor doodad aiming), that spoils the realism and/or precision. Generally, realism refers to the way buildings are constructed, not their position or whatever. Yeah, the explanation is kinda blurry, i'll rephrase that.

 

[matyko]

You know what?
I'd like to have a go with this!
After all, it's "just" terraining... ><

 

[Black Crown]

Just a little confused.
What do you mean by.
- This is not an artistic terrain so both visible and invisible walls, windows, anything must be placed in the map

 

[Belgarath]

That confused me too, Black. Steel, it's meant to be like so that if you're making some city, your 1st floor isn't floating in the air and with windows blocked out by pillars and no door or something like that, I think.

 

[Black Crown]

Still a little confused.

 

[Volvox]

It means that you are not allowed to make 2 walls and a roof and claim that you've made a building using 'it's whole from this point of view' argument. Quite simple.

 

[Black Crown]

Hmm, Ok.
This should be an interesting competition.

 

[Volvox]

Could.

 

[Gausslander]

I loathe the ultimate terraining map, but it is quite an okay idea.

 

[Volvox]

So how do i get this hosted? Just by waiting for an admin or?

 

[Hawkwing]

Actually someone like myself would have to host it. With the Terraining Contest still in progress we cannot start this. In the idea thread for the next competition you may want to bring this up.
