Terraining Challenge - Dalaran

[Rui]

I'm sorry for my delay, I kinda got pawned by my computer constantly crashing. The contest should have ended on the 3rd August, but I'll accept screenshots that were submitted until now.

• Eleandor (Screenshot 1) (Screenshot 2)
• Jaakko
• Nbah

I'm quite displeased with the number of participants. Some people never get to finish their screenshots. Even with a 3-day delay, they didn't finish. I think 30 or 31 days are more than enough for at least a decent terrain.

And don't vote for yourself, it won't count and will just increase my work.

I'm thinking whenever I should vote on Eleandor or Jaakko...

I'll go for Jaako...I would've voted for Nbah, but I didn't like the 3rd pic.
BTW: OMG!! I completely forgot about tis contest!! I blame my studies.

 

[Eleandor]

is that really everybody?

really??

 

[HermanTheGibbon]

My vote goes to Jaako, based mainly off his 2nd picture. Will there be any more heats to this contest, and if so, how many? If there are I'd quite like to enter if possible, I know I won't stand a chance of winning, but I'd really like to have a go at entering a couple of terrains anyway

Eleandor had very dull scenery, doodads stacked upon each other, and it lacked a touch of the wierd magic things that dalaran might have.

Jakko had some great scenary, the indoor shot was great, but i felt it was a bit bland and cliche. It was good... but not as creative as i hoped.

Nbah's first screenshot is THE best screenshot entered, although lacking quality, it is eccentric, and VERY creative. Something Jakko could have used. BUT, his second picture was much like Jakko's, and not as creative as the first. I didnt even know what the third one was. I couldnt figure it out. (a castle on ice?) Very unclear.

Props to Nbah for his first screenshot, but for quality, my vote goes to Jakko.

Im not happy with the results of this contest. Not only because nearly no one entered, but the end results werent that good.

Well, I was quite surprised. People usually don't like these tilesets-for-campaigns like Dalaran, Black Citadel, and such. I was pleased with the original ideas that came up.

The only thing that really displeased was the lack of participants.

 

[Jaakko]

Eleandor you could have used fog to make the screenshots better. Also I thought that the red mountain doesn't fit much to Dalaran.

Nbah first and third picture environment looked something else than Dalaran. I'm voting Nbah for his second picture.

I'm also a bit sad that the contest has so few participants but heh it gives me better chances to win too. ^^

I would've participated in this contest, my was already finished too. Only problem is that I forgot all about it. Damn!! How could I have been so stupid!! Oh well, better luck next time, maybe I'll post my work on the terrain forum.

 

[Nbah]

I also thought that there were going to be more participants, anywho I won't vote for anyone, because as I said my taste is not by the side of Jaakko or Eleandor. I really hope that Jaakko will win because I really think he put some effort in his work and he truly deserves to win! Anyway good luck, too all!
EDIT: Oh and is the 3rd picture that bad, I liked it Anyways it's the entrance to my stupid dalaran fortress. The entrance is supported by some kind of super duper magical columns. And I just felt like adding an effect. And that's about it ^_^

 

[Chaos Overlord]

my vote is giong to Jaako. The Second one looked like WoW quality to me. not that I play WoW, but my friend does so I have to watch adn enjoy the terrain.... blahblah. Good job all though.

It looks like a Lordaeron Human castle with Sunken ruins doodads to me. :/

 

[Sacrimo]

I voted for Jaako because his first and second picture made my mouth go open for like 2 minutes. Jaako is a terraining god.

 

[r0x_yo_s0x]

Classes got really ornery with assignments over last couple of weeks which kept me from putting any real effort into the contest.

Anyways, Jaako gets my vote since I think his scenes fit the Dalaran theme the best.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Well, Eleandor's pics were crowded with not that much variation.

Jaako's were beautiful. He got my vote.

I would have voted for Nbah, but his terrain for the first and second one didn't reach up to his second pic IMO.

 

[Nbah]

Anyways, thanks to all the people who voted for me! Atleast somebody likes my terrain

 

[Eleandor]

heh, I'm getting used to never get any votes . I must admit I haven't given everything on the dalaran one
Though it's getting disencouraging after 3 tilesets...

 

[Jaakko]

Just fix the things I told you first and I might vote for you. Next time I can give earlier feedback but I was really busy with my cinematic.

 

[Flobulon]

No doubt there's an obvious answer to this, but how did Nbah get a transparent terrain effect like that?
Anyways, Jaakko gets my vote

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Im going for jaakko, eleandor's terrain lacks details, and jaakko's terrain just looks much better as NBah's

 

[Nbah]

Well, it's sucky that Eleandor gets no votes, so I will give him one, his screenshots are nice, unlike mine, they suck man ~_~. So you're way better than me (sun).

 

[Rui]

The poll will close soon, and I'll announce the next tileset =D

 

[Eleandor]

heh, no need to do that, the commentaries are all right, and I know it. For sure I'm not a dalaran master, I hope though that I get a worthy next tileset

Good to see that Rui isn't closing the contest anyway. It might help to advertise it and maybe PM all people in the list right now to avoid starting a new contest with 3 participants...

 

[Mor)L(unE]

New Tileset.. i can't wait. il join in may i suggest we terrain a mine or something?

 

[Rui]

Sorry for the delay, people.

I've got enough on my hands. But if you can PM people for me, I'll be most thankful.

And of course, we already know who the winner is; congratulations, Jaakko!

And the new tileset is...

WTF?
