[Good] Terraining Contest - Santa's Workshop

[Deleted member 212788]

Yeah! Exceptional use of doodads. Looks like there will be competition .

 

[Bernkastel]

Still needs a lot of work to reach my heart.

 

[David]

Has someone already reached your heart my dear ?

 

[Amargaard]

Thanks guys
Don't you worry, miss, it will be worked a lot on

 

[Deolrin]

Here's another WIP:
http://i49.tinypic.com/15d8di8.jpg

Still lots of stuff to do. The whole scene will be more dynamic when done. Also, a lot more decorated for christmas. And there will be gifts!

 

[Amargaard]

Wait, are you on the good or the evil side?
(Looks good, by the way)

 

[Deolrin]

Well, the factory is under the staunch protection of Santa's Elven warriors!

(Thanks, btw. :3)

 

[Deleted member 212788]

You should totally make a model of the cooked salamander from the concept art contest xD

 

[kari0003]

That would be awesome!

 

[David]

Wait wait, whats with the pumpkins ? And its a restourant D:

 

[Deolrin]

It's a factory. Those are the Mad King's minions. The dining area is for when the elves take a break. There will also be a small work area for Santa, where he writes notes, like which kids are naughty and which kids are good.

 

[David]

Ah very nice then!

 

[Deolrin]

Next WIP:
http://i47.tinypic.com/vryesz.jpg

I'll consider making the roasted salamander. :3

 

[kari0003]

Haha, nice!! You created a cool interior atmosphere.

Some suggestions:
- The upper planks seem quite floating, maybe add some support at the wall, or columns
- If you have the motivation, you could change the christmas tree's tree texture, so it wont be snowy
- Maybe you could add shelves or carpet to make contrast with the wooden floor.

 

[Deolrin]

I like all of those ideas. I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
By the way, it's not very visible, but this is Santa's "workstation": http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/8481/651623a5bc34464b8da0496.png

 

[Amargaard]

Wow, looks good

 

[Amargaard]

Guys, is it possible to use attachments visible in the editor, or is it only possible in-game?

 

[kari0003]

I think special attachments are created by trigger, or abilities, and abilities dont work outside the game, so i think there is no way to make them visible.
You could make a flying santa hat, and then screenshot in a preferable moment, but its much easier to do it ingame!

 

[Bernkastel]

Put the attachment's model to a doodad and then raise it to the spot very where you want it to be.

 

[Deolrin]

You could just attach them to the model itself, using Vertex Modifier and such. That's what I intend to do for my Christmas Elves.

 

[Legion_King]

The time it takes to put the doodad exactly on the right spot and such would be almost the same as the time it takes to simply attach it and take an in game pic D;

 

[Bernkastel]

Ingame pictures horrify me.
And it doesn't really take that long, no no.
But if it's too long, well, ofcourse you can just give up on the whole terrain if you're not willing to put time to it. Because I am tired of seeing unworthy terrains already.

 

[Amargaard]

Well, I got, like, hundreds of Christmas Elves in my pic with different heights and shit, that needs hats, so I think I'll have to disappoint then :l
Anyways, Ralle and his reindeer cousins proudly stands ready to carry Santa's sleigh around the globe on the upcoming big day..

Sixth WiP

 

[Bernkastel]

If you really need so many fo them, I'd really recommend the way that was suggested before, add it to the model.

 

[David]

The only reason why I am not going to make terrain is that I cant find amargaards sun glasses

 

[Amargaard]

Sadly, I have no idea how to model, but I got over my laziness and tried something else
Ask some one to make a "sunglasses" attachment model then, that would be really awzum

Deolrin is training with the elven soldiers, while some worker elves just next to them are producing "Deolrin-action figures" :b

Seventh WiP

 

[Bernkastel]

But Deolrin is not a silly golem! Deolrin is Mordekaiser!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

LOL, that looks so lively and warm. Not even a hint of winter's cold embrace

 

[Amargaard]

His avatar truly depicts Mordekaiser, but in this roleplay he is not a terrible lord of metal, but a beloved Christmas golem

And that was very much the intention. Should I make a colder fog instead?

 

[Bernkastel]

But... But... But....

 

[kari0003]

Yea, our roles differ in the roleplay! For example, i wasnt a boot-licker, dummy worker... Wait a minute!

 

[Deolrin]

Aww, that's awesome.
You could make me a forest troll, though. I'm more well-known as a forest troll. This mordekaiser stuff is just temporary. ^^

I'll even switch to my Christmas avatar now because why the heck not.

 

[Amargaard]

Aaw Kari, don't look at it that way. I think you are a loyal and hardworking Christmas activist who Santa entrusts taking care of problems, that no other in the factory can deal with

Hmm, well, I dunno, I kinda got used to you being a Christmas golem now :b

 

[Amargaard]

Double-posting for the win!
Okay, Deolrin, I made a random forest troll in the terrain, who helps the elves cleaving wood for their presents, but to me, the real Deolrin will always be the Christmas golem (In this RP that is).
Not final entry, but it's getting pretty close - any suggestions? I wanna resume the drawing very soon instead

Eighth WiP

 

[Deolrin]

Boy, THAT is a lot of santa hats.

 

[kari0003]

Maybe fences at the side of the upper levels?
and maybe you could add some ground detail. Lamps, carpets, or something

Other than that, its really cool, detailed, its fun to search for things in it

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Yeah, there are some awesome carpet models here at the Hive, also, where is your friendly neighborhood maelstorm?

 

[AIagremm]

Wanted to say the same, you should have fences on the upper levels.

Also, you could put a rope bridge from one upper platform to another.

 

[kari0003]

Alagremm, i thought about it too, but i was afraid if it would hide lot of important things down...

 

[AIagremm]

Well, it can go over the right side of the reindeer stable. Would also hide the ugly empty spot right from the Christmas tree.

 

[kari0003]

and also, David's skull!

 

[David]

*pops out*

 

[Amargaard]

Thanks a lot for the suggestions guys!
This will be my last WiP before final entry - feedback is very welcome, and if anyone (On Santa's team) wants to be in the picture, now is the time to tell me

Ninth WiP

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Is that me in the container ? xD

 

[Amargaard]

Yup, you are Santa's electricity source :b

 

[David]

I look damn awesome!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

I am pleased to serve the emperor! *overloads*

 

[AIagremm]

Hm, you got pretty good.

 

[AIagremm]

Oh and you may want to do something about the far wall. It's whiteness doesn't look that good. Looks fine in the left though.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

If it be me of whom you speak then I thank you good. . . sir? . . . elf?. . . pixie? . . demon? . . utaku?
