Terraining Contest #10[playable] - Surrealism

[InfinateAnswers]

there should be a cinema in your map where the little people attack the big guy and tie him down

 

[Belgarath]

I'll show mine now. Ofc, this is not all. Just to lazy to take those screen shots and then crop them.

the second and third picture look really just you threw things at the terrain, there should be a semblance of shown planning really.

olorin, dreams are a really bad basis for surrealism. often the strangest things about dreams are the actions and the behaviour of people, sometimes objects around places. i would use a basis as something that you'd think of as a dream rather.

 

[Just_Spectating]

very early W.I.P.


took a long time.

i have a lot of work left to do..

 

[Midnighters]

I am going to try to make something for this, I got some good Ideas.

 

[88WaRCraFT3]

Oziris, take the first place!!!! Awesome pictures guys

I gona make a playable cinematic(With that i mean that there is a cinematic's at certain points, what tell you about the rooms) in the map just for fun. But i think(but i may,cause i had somekind of close idea too) i wont make those tiny people so aggresive.

I guess i didnt made my self very clear before.

The map has its small story, where a main Character( name comes later) sees a dream where hes in the "Museum of Dreams" and sees a weard stuff in the 4 rooms.
With earlier i ment that i wont make so extreme surrealism.

Classic...but intersting.

 

[Megafyr]

School and shit on my schedule, but I might be able to get something done... Otherwise, sign me up for judge, but wait for further notice D:

The second picture looks like a lost world 8>

I was hoping that you'd join. The more competition the better. Good luck with second place, Mega.

finally someone going with light theme

I might join too (I have some WIP ready, but it will take me some time to complete it) I doubt that my entry will be good, though

 

[-SoulBurn]

Since it's already September and i don't showed any WIP, here's the first.

I don't had time to work on the terrain, so this is an really early WIP screenie. I just want to prove that the work is mine and show the basic shape of the terrain. The sub-theme is a masquerade. I did all you see on the screenie today, so there's nothing surreal for now, but the sub-theme open me a lot of possibilities of surreal stuff and i have much ideas.

All the custom resources but the pictures (UTM) were made by me. So, i had a lot of work to do and minimal time. Like i said i'm only showing the shape of the terrain, i'm aware i have a lot of stuff to edit like the shading of the archs, ground texture so there's no way to see the "squares" and etc.

Hope you like it =)

First WIP

The problem is, the resources you made aren't opem scourge, so, you broke the rules, right? No offense, I also wondered about that, if we are able to do that.

 

[Boneknight]

actualy as far as i understood this you can link em in pastebin, sry if i am wrong

First WIP:

Map Overview

Magic Mushrooooms

Tree WIP

Important Note: In the screenshot, I disabled the fog.

# Map may consist of any resource as long a it is public.
# Unless a used resource belongs to either hiveworkshop or Wc3 Campaigns, a link to the used resources must be provided.

Yeah i tought about that too. Well, since the resources were made by me, if the Judges says i need to, i will gladly upload them at the pastebin

 

[Accname]

i think you have to because of fairness. no participant might use resources which are not open to everybody.

 

[-SoulBurn]

I will zip a pack when i get home

 

[-Kobas-]

I find some time and created this in hour or 2!
Still as you can see doodads need to be raised from the ground!
Tiles should be edited even more!
I need to add more doodads and stuff! (I know)
Still no lightning effect!
And so on!

I just want to hear some suggestions! (but please not about stuff above, for example: hey you didn't placed rocks -.-)

Click

P.S. I used triggers to rise camera to create some screenshots ingame
I will keep better ones from WE for latter!

 

[Belgarath]

interesting effect with the galaxies
i would put some kind of border between the pits and the empty part, standing up right in front of the black stuff is a bit extreme. also the orb textures are somewhat stretched, maybe use smaller sizes or a different model

i might even manage to finish my map if my computer doesn't convulse and die constantly

Lovely, for a WIP.

 

[-Kobas-]

Lovely, for a WIP.

Thanks Keiji!

 

[chilla_killa]

Was it me who showed you the galaxy model?

 

[-Kobas-]

No I used it even in my Rise of Heroes II map
Btw I use models from XGM for long time! Even in last contest, but I was forced to remove them ^^'

 

[Cihparg]

I believe it's not possible for me to stay in the contest.
I've lost my inspiration so badly..

IF you'd know where to get inspiration, please tell me.

Have you played Dragon Age?
Because the Fade in that game would be great, surreal (do people agree?), and easily playable.
May be good pics of it if googled if you haven't played it.

No-one has gone for a very visceral environment like that.

 

[Oziris]

The fade world would be great, but it's kind of boring looking (only ground) and hard to make. You would need some bloom effect and other effects to make it.

 

[The_Olorin]

"Room 3" of the map "Museum of Dreams" is kinda ready to show it to the public.
The "Room 3" name is "Gateway to Hell"

Room 3: Gateway to Hell

Room 3: Gateway to Hell

Room 3: Gateway to Hell

I wont show the last room 4 until the map is ready. So "Room 4" gona be suprise.

 

[L2love]

I guess I will add a Wip not for surreal at the moment.

Ta Da.....

 

[The_Olorin]

Interesting idea L2love. DAy and night at same time, i like it. Wondering, how you gona do it, cuz i dont have no idea, but live, see.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it looks like he used a custom background, which is illegal if it isn't public to this site.

 

[L2love]

No you just don't understand what I did if it requires me to say then I will but at the moment I will let you guess.

 

[Celaquil]

it looks like he used a custom background, which is illegal if it isn't public to this site.

He used the platform doodad without texture (easily done within the editor, with no imports required) and then he simply tinted it the color he wanted and flipped it sideways. No biggie.

In any case, if you use a custom model and provide a download link to it, its good to go.

Very creative l2love!
Keep on working everybody. This contest turns out very well!

 

[Potluck]

here are some wips for my terrain/map probably all you'll get for a while tho cos im lazy i hope you enjoy + have comments

Wips

note: of course this isn't an in game angle + is currently 100% playable

 

[Sorceress]

Looks nice OP!

 

[-Kobas-]

Damn I got new idea ^^

First screenshots

As you can see whole terrain will be re created ^^
There will be no tile only doodads
Ground will be placed on sky, below, above and so on...

Map is 100% playable
So far there is around 300 imported doodads (map size below 2 MB)

Working on importing special effects and few other doodads that will add that surrealism effect to terrain!

So what you think?

 

[chilla_killa]

oO Looks Awesome.

 

[-SoulBurn]

Serioulsy, -Kobas- terrain looks imba. Guess i will have to overdo my best lol

Other early WIP. Also, every imported resource i will use in the contest is under path "Contest\". Allso, all resources under "Contest\SoulBurn\" is my creation. You are free to use it but do not redistribute it to other sites and credit me if you use it .

Custom Resources imported replacing mqp files will be listed later.

 

[-Kobas-]

Well I still need to work on in so far I finished 10% of whole terrain

 

[Belgarath]

my computers psu is dead and i might not be replacing it so basically i might have to drop out of the contest, unfortunately. i'll see about it though, this is one of the contests i wouldn't want to miss

kobas, it doesn't look like you've done a terrible lot but place doodads which look good - i guess the effect is nice, and i'm probably one of the fewer people who don't appreciate it that much

 

[Celaquil]

Sad to hear Belg.

What's more is that I am going to drop out of this contest. I've lost all interest in doing the terrain that I started on, and I've never liked doing playable terrains in the first place.

Sorry guys.

 

[johannesr]

To be quite honest, same here as Keiji. But i'll see, maybe i'll gain interest again.

 

[-Kobas-]

Damn, that is really bad

 

[Midnighters]

I am in some way, going to make this surreal.

Terrain WiP

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Hmmmm I think I'm going to want to completely redo my concept

 

[L2love]

Thought I would get some thoughts on my new wip note I removed the sky for the moment because it's hard to terrain with it will be added back in final version.
