[Elenai]

Hmmz..

I might join this one.

Gloomy terrain is one of my specialties.

 

[frostwhisper]

I am so entering this and kicking yo asses!

 

[HappyTauren]

I'm in, as always
oh shit I'm host...

 

[Gilles]

I'm in. HappyTauren, as long as you do not judge, you can enter.

 

[FamousPker49]

Darn! Wish you would've submitted this sooner. But I shall join.

 

[frostwhisper]

Can MadseN, Jaako and ~Void~ be judges? xD

 

[HappyTauren]

errrm, if some of them says they wont enter, sure. But I don't feel like terraining anyway Those who got me on msn know that i got "RETIRED!" massage for a month now.

 

[frostwhisper]

Retired? Hell no, grandpa, you're going back into action.
After all, victory ain't as sweet if you haven't owned a so to say veteran.

EDIT: Oh, shit, no additional imports. There goes my concept.

 

[Troubadour]

I guess I'll give it a shot. Wish me luck? lol.

 

[Belgarath]

I'll base my dark or dim; deeply shaded terrain on a scene from Lost. Hatch is all I say. And Locke. And Light.

 

[frostwhisper]

Good idea, Jack.

 

[Belgarath]

Said too much already
Anyway, I started on it. Anyone got a good idea for a concrete hatch? ATM, I'm using tilted banks, but they aren't too great.
'Nd so anyway, I'm nearly finished or maybe I am, attached scween.

 

[cool_is_i]

How do i submit and entry and where
(do i submit the map or screenshot or WHAT?)
Ty
Ima noob here sooo....

 

[frostwhisper]

You attach the pictures to your post like Belgarath did in the post above yours.
[off topic] Your user title is so true [/off topic]

 

[Deathcom3s]

I'm in, I was thinking about doing a gloomy terrain anyway.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I might join. And Bel, way too much light streaming into there. It looks overly exaggerated.

When will we have a terraining contest, that DOES NOT allow ANY custom imports. Not UTM, not Anything. Meaning just In game things. Now THAT would be an actual challange, improvision.

 

[Belgarath]

I guess I could revise it. But I like it like this. I'll see.

 

[~Void~]

Yeah belgarath it looks more like a lazer cannon than a concreet hatch. You shouldn't add any light from above doodads or anything there, just make the whole thing waaayyy darker and put a sized-down to REALLY small white light or glow doodad there. Should work.

And as far as judging goes, I guess I could...

 

[Belgarath]

Oh, I wrote nearly finished or maybe I am. That's wrong, what I did was a quick thing I mashed up in 10 minutes. I'll work on it today. But anyway, the hatch goes light-boom before glowing down.

Anyway, HT, Void and Madsen or Jaakko judging? If Jaakko and Madsen are even active.

Got another shot. Added some things, edited the hatch and I like my light, TYVM.

Yes... otherwise the other guy(can't remember name right now) wouldn't have posted it here.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I will also join to this competition. I wonder why is the deadline so long?

 

[Steel_Stallion]

The bright Ion cannon takes away from the eerie atmosphere, bel. Try flipping a "Moon light" effect (using pitch i think) and putting it there. You need your light to be MUCH less.

 

[Belgarath]

Waaaait ... 4 weeks time? That's a bit very long. I'll see about the light after school...

 

[inverted]

I guess ill enter need some practice

 

[FamousPker49]

Alrighty, worked on my entry, and here are a couple WIP's cus I wasn't able to get on after I took the different pics. I'd like to see what you people think.

 

[Belgarath]

Uberly green and not really gloomy, IMO.

 

[YAY_WOOT_YAY]

My Terrain for contest

Hello all, I have spent many days doing this terrain. Although im pretty sure it will be last place, I have many reasons as to why I am posting it:
1:Might have a miniscule chance of getting 3rd.
2:Show my terraining skills
3:Enhancing how I terrain
4:Getting feedback
5:Entering a contest, which I have never done before.
6:This site is for pros and noobs alike, I don't want the contest dominated by pros so I am showing us noob terrainers we can try too!

This once rich and powerful land has been ripped of its soul by the evil within the ponds. Fires burn forevermore and little leaves hang by threads onto shrubs as does the soul of the forest hang onto dear life.

I am wondering if we are allowed to write a ^ description ^ of our terrain. If not please tell me. I have used UTM.

 

[Belgarath]

It's quite nice, but needs a fitting sky. Oh, and it should make some sense?

 

[Oziris]

I am going to join just tell me what's a Gloomy terrain?

 

[Belgarath]

Gloomy dictionary definition.
Where you from, mate?

Next WIP. I cut down on the lighting a lot and I brightened up my fog (I think..) and added eerie fog.
Oh, description's your choice, it's just that noone's gonna read it, or maybe they are. But it doesn't have to do with the judging.

 

[Firelord213]

Are we allowed to post maps? or only scrn shots?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

The deadline is too far away! I can make one terrain in couple of hours. I think the deadline should be decrease at least 2 week or something!

 

[Firelord213]

Anyways Here is a scrn shot from my terrain!

 

[Firelord213]

Here's some scrn shots *Updated*
BTW WIP.

Btw sorry for the long post xD

 

[frostwhisper]

Today we sail... to world's end.
Wip.

 

[~Void~]

Frosty I like that one
Good concept ^_^

 

[Belgarath]

I dunno what the hell you're gonna fill that up with ... bad idea, IMO and ATM (of course, it's a WIP) it doesn't look too gloomy and I see no way to do that ... well, if I thought about it, probably could. Any feedback on mine, anyone?

 

[THE_END]

It looks nice frost
Love PoTC <3

 

[frostwhisper]

It looked nice.
I ended up deleting it by mistake... back to the drawing board.

 

[Troubadour]

Here is my entry it's just about done (minor tweaking and so on). Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated.

 

[daw_guy]

Hmm Well i think that i have mine ready. It's really small though... Based on any normal map.

Screenshot

Constructive critisim wanted.
Also I like the end of the world theme.

 

[~Void~]

Troubadour I really like yours, but two suggestions--

First, get a better camera angle (looking more up than down) so we can see the entire room.
Second, make a dim light from above angled doodad coming from the top of the stairs to make it look like a door is there, or even better, make a shot looking at the door and have a light from above doodad sneaking out from under it!

 

[Troubadour]

daw_guy: I don't know man, I think it's a little repetitive and emptily so.
[off topic] Is emptily a word? [/off topic]

 

[Volvox]

Here's what i've been working on, i think it's not gloomy, just depressive, anyways...

 

[Elenai]

Does'nt look very depressive...looks like how I envision an elven homeland...
