Terraining Challenge 2007/2008

[Pyritie]

That and it also looks a bit plain. Needs more variation with the grass.

I think a blue sky would actually look better actually.

 

[Elenai]

Less light beams...its distracting...perhaps a fog effect would be better.

 

[Mechmap]

OK, i will try to join this contest 2.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yes, the amount of beams I will try to cut down, I have all sorts of trouble with the skybox, it always craps out on me, I will take a few more pics when I make changes

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I did't undarstand, can i join whit outland terrain :/ ?

 

[Jaakko]

I have all sorts of trouble with the skybox, it always craps out on me

Change the map size and borders so that you don't see the corner.

 

[FamousPker49]

Basically, I didn't get any better results with it, and it makes me angry

 

[Pyritie]

I did't undarstand, can i join whit outland terrain :/ ?

Of course not. At the moment you must make something using the Lordaeron Fall tileset.

Outland I'm presuming will be later on.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Then i will wait, i dont like Lordaeron Fall.

 

[Rui]

<.< If everyone "waits", we'll never have enough participants. But whatever.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

I cant make a Lordaeron Fall terrain, becouse i dont have much imagination for that terrain.

 

[FamousPker49]

Well so far, it looks like I am in first place for Lordaeron Fall Yay!

 

[MadseN]

might start on mine tomorrow, if i got time....

/MadseN

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

If MadseN competes then other people have to make a masterpiece if they want to have chances.

 

[Jaakko]

Wip 1

So what do you think?

 

[Pyritie]

Madsen has good competition this time.

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Jaakko, can you please attach the pic next time ? its just making the page big, when not attached....

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

So what do you think?

Thats great!! Goodjob jaakko.

 

[FamousPker49]

Looks good Jaakko, looks like I am bumped down to third if Madsen enters anything

 

[Belgarath]

Wip #1

Yay, a WIP #1. Nice, BTW, Jaakko.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol that lighting makes the tileset look so much different. I do not think that the trees fit in with the tilest though, as though trees seem to be more barrenish, whiel this is a fall terrain. That may just be from me being on WoW a bit too much (s.s)

 

[Belgarath]

Wip #2

Felt like working again, that's the current state now.
And trust me, these trees look best, the pines fat out too much and the others look completely retarded.

 

[thisruoy]

Lol
Floating rocks
I think the light is too bright
It should be dull so it actually looks barren

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Jaakko has the best one right now!Belgarath's one is nice too!

 

[Belgarath]

I don't see floating rocks ... and I think I forgot to save before my computer crashed - usually I save every 5-10 minutes, I gotta turn auto save on.

 

[Pyritie]

He just thinks they're floating because you haven't done the shadow map yet.

 

[MadseN]

Great entries so far ppl !

Here's the WIP my landscape, only ground and tiles is placed out. Next stage is the doodas

/MadseN

 

[FamousPker49]

Damn that is sexy Madsen, anyway Belgarath, those rocks looks out of place and even though they aren't floating, it looks like they are, I would suggest maybe tinting them a darker color that fits the tiles better, and adding grass near them
Looks like I have fallen to fourth place...

 

[Belgarath]

Wip #3

My third WIP, changed rocks and fog and added units. I'm sort of striving for a sad atmosphere

 

[MadseN]

Another WIP, added some trees and grass.

/MadseN

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Wow,it's great!Make something big in the end.Like a big tree or something like this.

 

[Pyritie]

Or a boat in the water or something.

Couldn't you put a few more plants in that grass? It looks a little plain.

 

[demonsofdante]

@Madsen, awesome use of the world tree model dude, i never realized how well that looks with those leaves. I personally think the foreground should have a bit more activity as to not let the viewer keep looking into the bacgkround in the fog. IMO the leaves on the closest tree on the right should be inched to the left a bit or widened, as they dont look centered nor porpotional to the trunk.


@Belgrath, awesome depth on your picture. However the multiple sunrays from all different directions are distracting and dont look natural in any way unless they have spotlights or something. Also you dont really need that many rocks as they dont really match well with the rest of the environment anyways.

Cant wait to see the finished piece from both of you guys

 

[Rui]

I agree, the sunrays don't look good that way.

 

[PiCkstix]

Is is too late to join?

And, must we only use Lordaeron fall terrain?

I will join, if I still can...

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

You can join and right now its lordaeron fall, lather it will change.

 

[Pyritie]

For this round, yes, only Lordaeron Fall terrain.

 

[Belgarath]

I was hoping for some way to make 2 or 3 rays come from the sun, but I can't seem to get that done ... I'll see about it after school.
EDIT: I have an idea

 

[MadseN]

Started to build up the background, Plan atm is a city with either fields or forest around it, leaning to forest atm.

/MadseN

 

[Gilles]

Jeez. Some amazing work here. If I don't get anything done in time, can I submit old work?

 

[Belgarath]

Wips #1 & #2

New concept, as my UTM decided to not save any more and then crash. I was looking at it with the doodads deleted (helps me at times) when it saved and exited - no clue why ...
Anyway, I actually like this concept better
Edit: I added some grass and fixed a bug with the castle. I plan on adding units, maybe changing the grass (or its tinting) and decreasing the fog so that I can add a forest to the hill. Ideas?

 

[MadseN]

Looks nice Belgarath =)

Another WIP pic, Added a river to the background, and will add the trees when i get home from work

/MadseN

 

[Pyritie]

Trees always grow upwards, even when they're on a steep hill.

And no Gilles, it has to be new work started since the Lordaeron Fall part.

 

[demonsofdante]

I def like the new concept better belgrath, fix those trees like Pyritie said and it will look awesome


Im freaking loving yours Madsen. But the rocks lining the river sort of bug me. They just dont look very natural

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

To:Belgarath,MadseN,
where did you find that grass models?

 

[Pyritie]

Ultimate Terraining Map (UTM).

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I have it.Can't find something like this.

 

[Nudl9]

Maybe cus they tinted it?

 

[MadseN]

Another WIP pic.

Added trees to the background, they were share pain.. Resized and placed one by one.

Will start to work on something in the for ground.

/MadseN

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The background actually looked better before, MadseN.
