Mini-Contest: Wc3:WoW Terrain Competition {FINISHED}

[Eleandor]

WIP 2.

For reference, check page 3.

Making those houses really takes long... I hope the wc3:WoW team has 1 model for those

For the middle of the town I was thinking of using a Moonwell (looks nearly the same), but the back of the moonwellmodel is transparent :s (lazy blizzard)... Any suggestions? Perhaps someone who's very kind who could fill in the gaps in the model for me?


oh...
noooo...
Now madsen is in, there's not much competition anymore :/

 

[frostwhisper]

Looks nice so far.

 

[Craka_J]

All entrys look very good so far. Silithus is looking better (Maybe more of that zergcreep tiles by the bug spires) than before and more accurate as well. I can actually tell that it is silithus thanks to those bug spires/spikes sticking out of the ground and the zergcreep tile helps the feel a ton.

Keep it up guys! You're all doing great!
And welcome to the contest MadseN! You've been added to the contestants list.

[Doron]

So far, this is one part of the Stormwind Map I am creating (unfinished)

Any suggestions would be nice.

(btw, sorry I couldnt make a little popup window, dont know how to do it yet : /)

Edit: oh wait, I think I may know, lemme post again

Edit again: nm, didnt work >.>

 

[Av3n]

Your image file is .tga try convert it using a program (InfranView I think or GIMP) to .jpg or .bmp

[Eleandor]

I downloaded the tga and I get an "invalid format" error when trying to open with my photo editing software... quite odd if you ask me. It does work on firefox though...

 

[frostwhisper]

Wip Zwei

Well, I'm moving on to the next one, if there's anything to revise on the Silithus terrain I'll revise it later.

So here's Androhal, a small village destroyed back in the Third War; its remains can be found in the Plaguelands. It also gets to star as my second WIP of the contest.

My "lovely" source of inspiration (the smallest I could find):

EDIT: Updated the post with a newer version of the pic.

 

[Gilles]

I almost like the first one more. These are some awesome shots though! Good job. Mine aren't going so well at the moment, I had to restart my STV.

 

[Belgarath]

I finally got around to doing something - I started off with doing a Tauren Valley, even though my grass tile options completely SUCK. Would anyone have a recolour, by the way?
Ideas?

Eleandor, yours looks the best so far, I'd say. Although, your shrubs look as if they're in pretty much random places and raised, to me at least ...

 

[Craka_J]

Good job on that terrain(s). And like everyone else said, no .tga files please. I'll update the first post with some more helpful information to make that more clear and official.

@Belgarath: Please provide a source screenshot from WoW which is helping you terrain this.
~Craka_J

 

[Belgarath]

Oh, right, forgot >_>

 

[Hi.Hi]

Will anyone answer my question from the first page? How do u put a picture in your post?!

{Edit} Hey! raging not nice!... i was just asking.... I'm new. (Sort of).

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Hi.Hi, such a simple task and you can't even perform it, shamefull.

Make a new post, go further down on the page and find attachment area, enter that, a popup comes, there you find the file(s) you want to upload and do so, they will then be attached to your post.

 

[Eleandor]

Those "floating" shrubs are actually the leaves of my trees... thought that was obvious :/

should I change?

Note: the final screenshot won't be uploaded on the hive because I want it to be as high res as possible instead of 600*800...

 

[frostwhisper]

I looks awesome so far.

 

[Craka_J]

Amazing. All of them are. Keep up the great work!

The mulgore one needs a bit of cleaning up. Especially the mountains made of arches (Which in fact is an awesome and creative idea) needs cleaning. But good job to all of you!
~Craka_J

 

[frostwhisper]

We still haven't seen Madsen's piece

 

[MadseN]

I'm keeping my terrains for some more days before I'll post them

/MadseN

 

[frostwhisper]

Ah... giving hope to the others before you crush them
Jk, I'm looking forward to your terrains.
I'm almost done with the Plaguelands one, so that's 'bout 2/3 done...

 

[Gilles]

The mulgore needs work Belgarath. That stormwind is coming so well Eleandor!

 

[Elenai]

So...what map are we using?

 

[Belgarath]

Eleandor, I meant that at times, you stick a bush in a completely weird place and it ends up looking perfect, it happens to me all the time.
For the valley, I'll be adding in different rocks to the cliffs and cleaning up my grass, and I'll add in some tauren things. Does anyone actually have a cleaner, lighter grass and a dirt tile, by the way?

 

[Hi.Hi]

I am thinking of leaving this contest sorry... I'm stuck in school and homework sorry again... You can keep me on the list but don't expect a map, picture screenshot etc.

 

[frostwhisper]

So...what map are we using?

You can use any map. You can use any custom models you wish as long as they're not WoW ones or WC3:WoW ones.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Im in, though im a noob terrainer... Anyways, i try ^^ now the big question is... Which place should i choose^^

 

[Eleandor]

Start with something simple. For example, I started with the sewers. Then try something bigger / harder as a second piece perhaps...

At least that's what I did...

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Omfg, i dont stand a chance against the other :O

 

[Kwaliti]

Damn, I'll be pwned

Here's what I'll be making

 

[frostwhisper]

Ouch.. good luck with that one, l0w

 

[Eleandor]

Omfg, i dont stand a chance against the other :O

well... better start terraining before Madsen shows us his screens :§

Low kwaliti, for a second I thought that was your screen in WE! lucky me it isn't

 

[ElmStFreddie]

Wow, this sounds exciting (PUN INTENDED >__>)

So, I'm in. I call booty bay

It's ma fav place

Do we need to put people in it, like, NPCs that don't do anything?

 

[thisruoy]

Hey, didnt someone make a orgrimmar pic?
Where has it gone?
Because i was planning to do org and i saw his really god gate

 

[Craka_J]

I terrained Orgrimmar. You can check out what I've made of it so far in the Wc3:WoW website's Gallery page.
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

Uhh Craka, didn't Hernan_G terrain Orgrimmar? Or at least the entrance?

 

[Craka_J]

No. I did it all. Though he did add a bit of details to the entry area, but some of it makes the area slightly unfamiliar and I will have to remove or replace some of it.

The 'old' Orgrimmar was done by, I believe, either Freakazoid or an older terrainer of the Wc3:WoW Team.
~Craka_J

 

[Kwaliti]

Here's my WIP, bleh, whatever. It's kinda lame.
Looks like a town from those western movies.

 

[Craka_J]

Actually... that does look good. Hard to judge right now due to it's still-in-development status, but I can't wait to see what it looks like when it is done!
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

I agree with Craka. It's pretty good. Looks like Old Town in SW. I think, it's been a while. Or the Dwarven District.

 

[Serbianbeast]

i'm in too! you will see some of my work soon enough. and just to let you know i picked arathi highlands.

 

[thisruoy]

Aw, i cant do orgimar

 

[Serbianbeast]

Well here's my progress. As you can see i'm making copy of arathi basin, alliance side. Since i haven't got much time last few days i am slowly progressing, but i will be done before the deadline.

 

[frostwhisper]

You sure got the lake's shape perfect.
Keep it up.

 

[Craka_J]

Make the mountains a lot bigger.
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

Craka, you can't really. WC3 mountains suck, they can't go nearly high enough for WoW terrain. Only hope is to make units and buildings smaller.

 

[frostwhisper]

W. E. U.?

That, or use the Misc data file which is sticked in the Terrain Forum of THW.
~Craka_J

 

[Gilles]

I do use the misc data file. There's a limit to how high you can go.
UTM might work, but I don't think so.

Doesn't misc data just allow you to raise ground as a vertical.

 

[Serbianbeast]

no1 said i got to the mountains yet ^^ all i've done is the lake, now im starting the upper lake and waterfalls. after that i'll be doing background mountains.

but i have one problem i can't solve: i need a doodad using Long Natural Bridge but with texture (walkable bridges can only be sized proportionally and can not be turned, while doodads using the same model don't have any texture and there is no way i can set desired texure on them). any ideas :S
