Next terrain contest...

[~Void~]

I want the next terrain contest to have a more direct theme. I like the whole no-imports thing, so we should keep that.

I was thinking:
Mount Olympus
Molten Core
The World Tree
River Styx (or just the underworld)
Atlantis
Mysterious (maybe too broad...)
Illusion

 

[Restor]

well

I think olympus is very concrete theme, perhaps the "Home of Gods" would be better (like valhala, olympus...)

molten core? what is it??

The world tree-i think it is too much concrete theme, imho most of terrains will be similiar

River styx-same as olympus, better "underworld"

atlantis-or maybe some Utopia island, like from thomas morus

mysterious-on the other hand, this is very abstract

ilussion-can be good, but maybe you can specific what kind of illusion


U are fan of greek mythology, arent you :-D

 

[Childeric]

I agree. I think a more specific theme would make the contest even more competitive, which is good. As for the no imports, doesn't matter to me either.

You have a good start for theme ideas Void, here are a few others.

-Historical (Re-create some sort of historical landmark. Rome, The Colliseum, the Pyramids, 17th Century London, Great Wall of China)

-Space/Sci-Fi (Would probably need imports)

-Recreate a scene/location from another video game, providing a picture that you based it off of (I think this was a suggestion before)

-Heaven/Hell (Make one of each)

=)

 

[Dr SuPa- Dr00d]

Space/Sci-fi is a theme that's long overdue.
However, in order for the theme to work well, you'll need to permit all imports ('sept game rips etc).

 

[~Void~]

I don't want to do a sci-fi theme. It's lame, limited, and I will vote against it.

 

[Restor]

the scifi has many faces, far more than fanta-sy, not only space ships&planets etc.
but wc3 is not good for scifi anyway.

 

[Dr SuPa- Dr00d]

but wc3 is not good for scifi anyway.

Wc3 ain't good for terrain in the first place

But anyway, aside from my sci-fi proposal, I also like Child's idea of a Heaven/Hell two picture competition. Kinda reminds me of the Seasons challenge.

Heaven and Hell are a little limited though. So how about... opposites. Two terrains that share some characteristics but are exactly the opposite of each other?

 

[communist_orc]

No arches allowed? <- Just an idea...

 

[Mechanical Man]

Historical sounds nice.

 

[Ribenamania]

Wow.. that was fast.. anyway, I think "Lightning" is a good theme for the next terrain competition. =)

 

[Linaze]

IMO this should not be hosted for a while, there seems like there is always a terrain contest up, perhaps wait with this until some mapping shit contests are done?

 

[Hawkwing]

Like I posted in the thread, we'll be waiting 3-5 weeks.

 

[~Void~]

That's stupid. How about a paired contest?

 

[Hawkwing]

Paired Terrain Contest #1? Lol.

 

[HappyTauren]

That'd be awesome.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

hum why not like... Once upon a time storys... like we have to recreate a HAppily ever after scene...

-Cendrillon
-Snow white
-Robin Hood
-Little marmaid ..etc..etc..etc..

 

[Belgarath]

-Mount Olympus - Huge mountain with big people on it? Eh, it's alright..
-Molten Core - Explain plox?
-The World Tree - World tree doodad ftw?
-River Styx (or just the underworld) - Well, that's better..
-Atlantis - but MadseN already made it - people would just strive to copy
-Mysterious (maybe too broad...) - yes, too broad - but Mysterious (thing) would work
-Illusion - aren't illusions meant to look real? It wouldn't really be an illusion
-Historical - that's a good one..
-Space/Sci-Fi - D: Nowai. Sci-Fi isn't cool on WC3 : |
-Recreate a scene/location from another video game, providing a picture that you based it off of - I tried to make a contest out of that, everyone complained, saying it was too closed etc. I think its a good idea.
-Heaven/Hell - well, now that'd be interesting... but it'd be a bit like "peace... FIRE FIRE"

Gilles wants blue theme, it's okay with me.

 

[syltman]

I'd say... HUGE landscape terrain contest!

 

[Belgarath]

Done that on wc3creations : |
We'd have too much proness from doing it already a few weeks back

 

[FamousPker49]

I say Mysterious. Srsly.

 

[Sabertooth]

Atlantis. I think we'd get overall better submissions if there was some sort of DEFINITE restraint.

 

[~Void~]

Gilles wants blue theme, it's okay with me.

I'm cool with blue theme I guess, after all, it was my suggestion a long time ago

I've done a lot that's blue though...

 

[Sabertooth]

Right, we could do that, and I still say it needs to be a restraining theme this go around. If I make a blue doodad in my terrain, is it blue? If I make the whole thing green but a blue fog, is it blue? If a city is floating in the sky and fiery, is it Atlantis? No. Underwater city? Yes.

 

[~Void~]

Just because you could argue it fits the theme doesn't mean you will get a good score from judging or in the poll.

 

[Gilles]

I like blue, it's different.

I really hate the "copying another games terrain". It's just lame imo.
Sci-Fi would require a lot of imagination, and outland would probably get abused.
Something like Atlantis or Olympus is too close to the construction theme.
Epic has been done by wc3creations, and there are a lot of crossover members.
Heaven/Hell is bleh, and it's a lot like the seasons contest.
I also don't really want to see another no-imports.

 

[Restor]

and what about Historical theme?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

and what about Christmas eve?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

and what about Christmas eve?

Just no

 

[FrIkY]

Just no

Why not? I think it would be a great idea, turning Warcraft into hapiness and joy!

I'm for the Christmas theme

 

[Belgarath]

Christmas eve... come on. That's terrible. We don't want happiness and joy.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Yeah! Screw baby Jesus!

 

[FamousPker49]

Christmas eve is a terrible theme.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I say a Contest about how would we greet Wolverabid!


Or Wolverabid's job,terrain the workshop and things like that!

 

[Belgarath]

Ehh.. terraining the workshop would be interesting...

"Well, this is the terrain board..."

 

[NearbyHermit]

Ehh.. terraining the workshop would be interesting...

"Well, this is the terrain board..."

See,I'll do a giant Goblin Laboratory were Wolverabid is in charge!

 

[~Void~]

Um, wolv was great, but that's... overkill.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Um, wolv was great, but that's... overkill.

What?

Some gratitude and most of all Wolverabid is the current HiveWorkshop theme!

 

[~Void~]

But as the theme for a terrain contest, well that's kinda stupid. -.-

 

[FamousPker49]

Mysterious. Seriously. Totally cool theme.

 

[Childeric]

I got it...

No theme! xD

Only half serious...

 

[Sabertooth]
