Mirror terrain contest

[~Void~]

This is something I once did that came out pretty well, to mirror a picture in terrain. It's pretty simple, this will be the picture you would mirror and you will be judged on three categories:


Accuracy: [30/100]
Basically how much it resembles the picture. This is very important seeing as it's the point of the contest.

How good it looks: [30/100]

• Undergrowth: [10/30]
  How well you use shrubs and environmental doodads. Feel free to add more than there are in the picture, because oblivion leaves stuff bare from a distance.
• Land and Sky: [10/30]
  How good the hills look, are they smoothed right? Does the fog and sky look good and do they blend well?
• Buildings: [10/30]
  Do you make your own buildings or use models? How well are they placed and do they look good with the rest of the terrain?

and Camera Angle: [10/100]
This should be self explanatory. Is the camera angle the way it is in the picture? It better be...

The rest is how everyone else likes it (poll)

You may use custom models or the ultimate terraining map, but you cannot use any alternate World Editors (such as UMSWE or WEU).
No custom-imported tiles are allowed.
Doodad limit of 5000. (why would you exceed this anyways...?)
Map-size limit of 160x160.
No custom sky models. This does not include clouds.
Feel free to add shrubs and environmental doodads where there aren't in this picture, Oblivion gets rid of that stuff when you look at it from a distance.

Awards:
1st: To be decided.
2nd: To be decided.
3rd: To be decided.

The deadline will be decided when or if this contest is approved.

I like the idea itself, could be fun. I'll look into perhaps starting a terrain contest like this.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Screenshot needs better view range, as I think you have distant lands turned off (where you can see for miles and miles).

 

[~Void~]

It's not my screenshot. I will try to retake it with that on.

 

[Pyritie]

Also your screenshot seems very empty. Just a bunch of trees and a stone thingy.

 

[~Void~]

Hm... but what about the town? Meh, I will try to get more screenshots to vote on.

 

[Pyritie]

...what town? I don't see any town.

 

[Mechmap]

Don't you see the walls with houses inside?

 

[Pyritie]

Oh, now tht you pointed it out I do. If you got a screenshot which focused closer on that area that would be better.

 

[skrab]

cool idea dude but ;>.> screenshot needs a better graphic

i'm not a terrainer but my terrain could caver some nice models xD

 

[~Void~]

New screenshot added.

Edit: The first one IMO is better, because you can see the giant tower in the background and it adds a cool effect

Also, about distant lands, I have the graphics settings completely maxed out on everything, and distant lands on maximum, but that is as far as I can get.

 

[skrab]

google some more

 

[Oziris]

Wow hey skrab nice pictures that u posted.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I sure hope this contest gets approved, I need to waste some time

 

[Pyritie]

I like skrab's second picture.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Yeah, I never even knew WC3 graphics got that good, and he even nailed the UI! [/sarcasm]

 

[~Void~]

google some more

Yeah but I wanted a snowy one :'(
Fine, I'll take some mediocre forest screenshots -_-
Of my Unique Landscapes mod.

 

[skrab]

>.> we need more pictures

 

[Dracula]

more pictures taken by better computers too ^^

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Oblivion is a very high graphics game O_O

I could install and get a few good screenies...

 

[Oziris]

Sure i am going to enter the contest!! count me in!
and hear are some pictures :

 

[vnakira]

I want to show myself////////

 

[~Void~]

Nice shots. I'll get some more, eventually. I know a place that has a really cool effect at night. (mannimarco altar thing from mage's guild quest, where you turn soul gems into black soul gems)

 

[Dil999]

Pretty sure your talking about the Dark Fissure, Void.
And I may get some screenies from a place I think is called Dive Point or Suicide Point or something. Its the tallest point in the game and gives you a view of all of the world at once.

No, it's an altar on top of a mountain. Doesn't really sound like a fissure to me, but maybe I am wrong.

 

[Dil999]

The official name of it is Dark Fissure, because the actual landmark your at is a cave- the altar is just outside of the cave.

 

[Oziris]

Man when is this contest going to start ????

 

[~Void~]

Here are some screenshots I thought looked awesome.
IMO the 4th one and the 7th are the best

 

[skrab]

first and last one are awesome

 

[~Void~]

If this gets approved, it will probably be after the Gloomy terrain contest is over.

 

[Pyritie]

I like the third one.

 

[Belgarath]

I forgot to bring these here. Personal favourite is the second. This challenge is actually really good, IMO.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I'm in love with that 3rd one Belgarath!

 

[~Void~]

The second one is good, but the rest are shit. Or they would look like shit in the world editor.

edit: I have 888 posts ^_^

 

[Deathcom3s]

Sweet, i love oblivion, i'm gonna post some screenshots. This contest better get approved!

I'm guessing since this contest is based around oblivion terrain, that most people are going to use B2ms high res pack.

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I hope it doesn't get made during the Hero Contest, I would gladly do this!

 

[Oziris]

The other terrain contest is going to be over for 2 weeks.

 

[~Void~]

Hopefully it will get approved then.

 

[Belgarath]

Yeah, the current one sucks ... theme's terrible.
Anyway, do we need Crysis pictures, I can make some.

 

[~Void~]

Crysis? What? 0.o

 

[Belgarath]

Crysis. Screenshots. Understand? Want? Yes? No?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Oh.. Isn't Crysis that game situated on that jungle island?

 

[~Void~]

Crysis. Screenshots. Understand? Want? Yes? No?

I don't know what Crysis is...

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Google is your friend!

Crysis

 

[~Void~]

Well that's kinda... modern... I don't see how that can be made in WC3.

 

[skrab]

it can be any other game not just oblivion and crysis... we need more

 

[~Void~]

Morrowind has some nice stuff, but this is meant to be specifically Oblivion.

 

[~Void~]

Pardon my double post, but is this going to be approved for the next terrain contest after the current one is over?

 

[Childeric]

Lewks fun. Hope it gets approved!

 

[Oziris]

World of Warcraft ? xD
