Terrain Mini-Contest IV: Build me a dream castle...

[~Void~]

Terrain Mini-Contest #4
Build me a dream castle...

IF YOU DON'T POST YOUR ENTRY IN THIS THREAD IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED!

THEME:
With this mini-contest, I'm going to take a different approach to things. The theme itself is pretty simple: Build the most aesthetically-pleasing castle you can imagine. The way this is done, however, is a bit different from usual terrain contests. You must provide THREE screenshots of your terrain: One from the outside, some distance away, showing the whole castle at the best angle you can find, one from the inside, showing one of the rooms, and one from somewhere close to the main entrance. You may use different special effects for each screenshot, but otherwise nothing can change. You may also provide more than 3 screenshots, but the three I listed are required.

DEADLINE:
EDIT: 30th May

REWARD:
+5-10 rep to the winner, depending on how high they score in the judging.

Sounds sexy, someone better flood their castle with a dazzling spam of holy light!

Can it be like a church, in the form of a castle?

 

[~Void~]

Go for it. By castle I really meant epic medieval building.

 

[Belgarath]

Shit I am so screwed :>

 

[Celaquil]

And the "whatever imports you want" thing still counts? If so, hell I'm in. But if we can only use the UTM then I'm not. And how does one really notice if the creator of the terrain simply didnt build the "room" some place else on the map and not INSIDE the castle? Or doesnt that matter at all?

 

[raid1000]

damn this is my speciality
cant i use my wolfs lair on this one? xD
but we desperately need some white walls and shit and some pointy towers like in disney land xD

 

[Megafyr]

Castles = Alot of work

Bah.. I'm in

 

[Ziggen]

I didn't participate in the last one, let's see if I can get something done for this, (I really doubt it though).

 

[Corexx]

Is High-Ress-Stuff alowed or just UTM?

You can use whatever models you want. The room can be wherever, but if you make it actually in the castle, that would be totally awesome.

@Corexx: Well I'd rather you didn't use the hi-res stuff, but you can. I'd like it if you used other models though simply because there isn't really a lot to build with in the hi-res pack and I feel like if people used it they would just use a premade building. I hope you won't.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Ugh, i already made a entire castle that you can enter and walk through.
Well maybe ill make another..

 

[Celaquil]

Well then, after I'm done with this Exam today, I'll start working on my idea.

 

[raid1000]

if we make teh castle fully playable will we get extra points?

 

[Dark Master]

So, any models, and WoW?

 

[Oziris]

If you do that your terrain wont come with, as the rules state that you HAVE to post it in the thread. :3

... No u!

 

[frostwhisper]

Methinks, I'm gonna sit this one out.

Or maybe not.

Or probably yeah...

 

[Wolfhelm]

Yeah im gonna sit this one out too. I would rather take the time to improve on the castle i already made.

Here is some screenshot of my RPG castle. Its not Disneyland its suppose to be a midevil one.

Maybe this isnt a good place to post i just thought it be ok scince were on the subject.

 

[Oziris]

Wolfhelm that sucks balls. Make a big(small) epic castle like i did...just need some more improvement, and i will post it.

 

[Megafyr]

How does that suck? It's a 100% playable very good looking terrain in my opinion. : O

 

[Ziggen]

Yeah you should really change your attitude and behave nicer to people.

 

[Oziris]

I'm not saying it sucks for a playable terrain. It sucks because there is only Wall,Wall,Wall,Wall and roof, End of map, background sucks, it's just a normal terrain for playing, it ain't half as good as how he can make good terrain. The point of all this is that he can make a way better terrain, this terrain sucks as an art, not as a playable terrain. Got it?

 

[Megafyr]

It was never supposed to be terrain-art I assume.

 

[Oziris]

Well that's why it sucks, because it ain't a terrain art.

I thought only women get PMS..

 

[Wolfhelm]

Lol, i thought you where being sarcastic at first... i think this castle is best terrain i ever made.

If your talking about building a castle with rooms inside that you can walk through these doodads are by far the best i have seen anywhere. Guess its a matter of opinion.

 

[Oziris]

I'm talking about the difference about your playable Terrain and Art ( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/terrain-board-267/wolfs-lair-126526/ )
Just look at the difference, your is for playing and that is a picture.
End of Story.

PS: I was being sarcastic.

 

[Belgarath]

If that sucks balls then, jesus christ, I think that's like saying that, I don't know, your "spooky" terrain sucks balls.
You have two sets of criteria for PLAYABLE and unplayable. Unplayable will obviously contain a shitload of doodad spam, SFX, etc. Playable is judged on eye candy AND playability, while also considering that it may have a doodad limit, ie., lag limit. You missed these two by miles...
It's good in everything but the environment :/.. You should've used Ashenvale grasses, especially the dirty grass instead of the village grass.

 

[Oziris]

Like omg...i said it looks good for a playable terrain not for a unplayable terrain.
Forget everything that i said...

Hello, whats your name?
It's a nice sunny day for me, and for you?

 

[Wolfhelm]

Its ok Oziris i know what you mean

Yes the ground is kinda boring - i needed so many diffrent tiles for other areas that i couldnt use as many as i would like for grassy parts around the castle.

 

[raid1000]

Omg FLAME NAPALM STRIKE TROLL

 

[Zeverens]

I'll give this a try.

 

[Dia3olus]

ashenvale grass sucks balls, see at the border
but the lumpy grass is still wonderful, yes.

 

[Belgarath]

That's why you use dirty grass to get the border off, or leaves.

 

[~Void~]

The border is only good when used in very small patches, it can give a nice clumpy effect to the grass.

 

[HFR]

Dream Castle? Sounds too disneyish to me...

 

[raid1000]

i need a conic roof...

 

[HFR]

As this isn't a "medieval castle" contest, the cone roof tower here cannot help you.

 

[~Void~]

i need a conic roof...

Make one.

And yeah it is a medieval castle contest...

 

[HFR]

Medieval? But it really needs those gay magic things?

 

[Oziris]
