Terrain Classes

[GreeN!X]

I'd like to be a student too.

 

[Daffa]

Me wants to join

 

[DivideByZero]

Hmm. I kinda wanted to join this Terrain Class but, I'm not yet sure if this would work out.. And I'm not that fond of using the editor. YET. 'Coz I write stuff. If this would turn out to be a successful, I wouldn't mind giving enough effort to learn from you guys.

 

[DESTROYER123]

Count me in as a student.

And thanks for feedback everyone.
Also thanks for your good feedback TLI-Inferno however the house was made by smaller parts (thanks Stryderzero).

 

[Kaizer]

Is these thread the official Terrain Classes thread? Or will you guys create another one in the terrain board forum?

 

[GreeN!X]

They're gonna create a new one. This friday I think?

Really? You did such a good job on that house that it looked like one model!

I'm gonna create a new one, and it will be linked to from here. Right now I'm giving teachers time to sign up. Then starting friday, us teachers will organize the order in which we want to teach things, and students will sign up. Then the friday after that, classes will start.

 

[Binsu]

Okay understood. =)

 

[EmoBrother]

Don't forget to put the link for the new Terrain Class here, TLI-Inferno ;d

Thanks teacher

 

[Stare Cat]

I have not the faintest idea of how this works
I'd like to be a student! =D

 

[InfernalTater]

Just check this thread on friday! There will be a link to a signup thread there! And then, the friday after that, classes will start and the link to the classes will be both here and there!

 

[DESTROYER123]

Nice!

 

[Footman16]

I am a co-teacher for a few subjects.

 

[Kithraya]

You want me to teach you some techniques? :>

 

[InfernalTater]

You want me to teach you some techniques? :>

Send me a PM telling me what you'd like to teach with some examples of you using those techniques and I'll let you know if I can fit you in with the plan.

Try to plan on less-known techniques, possibly unique tricks; things that only you as an individual can contribute.

 

[Binsu]

Well, Kithraya is here. The creator of the Requiem and I do know it has awesome terrains so we will have lots of fun for sure.

 

[Kithraya]

Hah.. I forgot that not everyone remembers my old terrains. ^^

Terrain was the first thing I "mastered" in Wc3. I Gladly would like to share my tricks with others. In particular, the creation of interiors.
Overall, I am in favor in playable terrains.

Sadly, that's all what remains of my old terrain topics on hive:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/terrain-board-267/new-screensahots-98846/

From here you can also take advantage of something interesting. Especially techniques of bulging important tillset texture. (Screen with road sign).

EDIT: Some old works from hard drive:

open

(Now I remember, how I was using scaled dead tree variations as grass. )

In my map from 2008, using only this one model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/table-49651/?prev=search=table&d=list&r=20 I created such structures:

open

 

[Binsu]

Your terrain was just too sick and awesome, each terrain propery conveys the mood and also it has the right tone of fogs. It is also detailed enough.

I wanna learn from you

 

[MasterTrainer]

I would really love to learn about terraining the interior of multiple structures :3

I'm going to focus more on that in this class.

 

[mckill2009]

List updated, including teachers and the great Kithraya for his tips but Im not sure if he's joining...

I think this thread should remained here for a while since if this be moved to the terrain forum, it will be easily forgotten...

That's what the real man's man are doing.

She* is.

 

[InfernalTater]

To be honest, interior structures are easier to do once you get the hang of doodads. When I first started terraining I was impressed with myself because of how cool my structures looked, until I realized that was the easy part, it took more practice for me to get good at outdoor terrain. Indoor terrain is what usually impresses viewers the most, as it's not something you often see done well on Warcraft III with the normal palette being poor for it, but in the end, playable outdoor terrain is what most of these people will need for their maps. I do love the way your stuff looks, though.

Anyway, it looks like most of your terrain is showcase terrain designed for viewing at specific angles. You can teach that sort of thing as a separate course, sort of a "bonus" for people who are into that sort of thing with screenshot art. It can be on the same thread, just separate assignments.

How long I haven't posted? Seems the class growing big
~Subscribing

 

[MasterTrainer]

You can subscribe without posting using the Thread Tools.

(I posted this under the assumption that you do not know that)

 

[Daffa]

I know, that's a mark for me, because I can recall a thread subscribed with that note. Also, old habits.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Oh I see. Understood.

Only a few days to go before classes start :3 (3 days in GMT + 10.00)

 

[Daffa]

Okay, I'm preparing myself

 

[EmoBrother]

Shall we party on that day ?

 

[Daffa]

But sadly, this class can't run well because most of us going to Have School Started [Reminders]

 

[MasterTrainer]

To be able to attend an offline and an online class is a new uh- I don't know what that is.

 

[Binsu]

Well, good thing you remind me of school.... I can only visit in Nights and not all day.... aww....

 

[Daffa]

Agree, worst : I got exam D:

 

[EmoBrother]

I'm in holydays (two weeks), now, a week's end. . .
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday... Monday(school day !)

 

[MasterTrainer]

@Teachers Hey would the students get some kind of reward when they do a good job in particular assignments?

 

[Daffa]

Dunno, up to the teachers

 

[mckill2009]

She* is.

I did really think you're a man lolzzzz...

we'll see if teachers make their lesson plans...

 

[InfernalTater]

@Teachers Hey would the students get some kind of reward when they do a good job in particular assignments?

Sure, I'll think of something. Don't get your hopes up for a Ferrari, though.

Oh I see. Understood.

Actually, classes were going to start the friday after next, with the signup thread being created this coming friday. I wanted to give people who haven't heard about the classes a chance to sign up first.

But you know what, since so many people's breaks start this weekend, I've decided to start classes this friday allowing those people to take advantage of their break from real life classes to take online classes, and I will do my lessons in a way that will allow people who aren't there when it starts a way to catch up.

So classes will be starting this friday instead of next friday!

I've looked through the thread, and I think I got everyone who wanted to sign up, but just in case, check out here to sign up if your name isn't on the list! And fladder, you still didn't confirm that you wanted to teach yet! If you're going to, please do it before friday!

Starting friday, this thread and the one I linked to will both link to a new thread which will contain the lessons!

 

[DESTROYER123]

Just a question:
Who is the school principal (if exists)?

Just another Warc.. question:
Who are all the teachers?

Since this takes place on Hiveworkshop, disciplinary authorities are the same administrators and moderators as they have always been.

The teachers are listed on the page where I linked to in my post right above yours.

 

[bethmachine]

You forgot me in the student list. Just in case enrolling.

Edit:Sorry did not check new thread.

 

[InfernalTater]

You forgot me in the student list. Just in case enrolling.

You were already on the list, check again.

And to everyone, I'm sorry, I have some bad news.

I'm sorry, but a relative is in the hospital and I will be giving him the laptop so that he has something to do. I made this video quickly for you guys to have something to do on friday, I just finished uploading it. I'm sorry that there is no text tutorial, I don't have the time to type one up, I was going to do that tomorrow.

I promise you that the future lessons will be better than this, but this is all I have for you for now:

Warcraft 3 Terraining Class

Watch the video there and try your terrain, ask questions, send me your maps, I will help you as soon as he's out of the hospital and I have the laptop back.

 

[SA Dashie]

Hmm. You know what I would like to enroll as a teacher and a student. I already have great terraining skills, although I would also like to test if the teachers are doing things right(giving criticism), off-course with the off-chance of me learning something from this. But yeh I would be accepting any criticism like a normal student would.

Although as a teacher I would only play as a side teacher(Probably not going to put a great deal of time into it as an actual teacher should). I am more of a terrainer that would make playable terrains.

Here are my most recent released works(maps).
1: Conquering Vendula; Boss Fight
2: Fountain Isles; melee

 

[Pronto]

We can never stop learning even if we are good at what we do, I will like to enrol as a student, am not saying that i am good. I just want to know better. So I will like to be a student, please enrol me

 

[Daffa]

Go to the sign up Thread if I was right

 

[Binsu]

Guys, go now to the thread Warcraft Terrain Class in Terrain Board. TLI has taught the first lesson and also gave an assignment. =)

Cheers
