Terraining Contest #10[playable] - Surrealism

[Belgarath]

if my computer holds, after this miracle recovery, i'll be able to finish after all! superb!

 

[-Kobas-]

I finally find some time to continue my work on tiles!
Another Picture!

[Deolrin]

There's some Z-clipping at the bottom.
Also, those rocks look very repetitive.

 

[Chaos.]

Woot, my "pg up" key broke off from over-use. Probably the key I use most when terraining. Too much constructing.

I ran out of ideas with my previous wip. So I started over. Finally got an actual idea. Although there is no surrealism in it yet, there will be, don't worry. Mass wooden plank constructing, yay.

 

[Midnighters]

Well, I have to drop out of this, my computer crashed, and I lost everything.

Ah I know, but this is only base (I replace tiles with doodads right now)
Well all rocks use same texture -.-, but as I already say, will add more doodads and shit to make it different!

Thanks

Btw map has over 260 custom doodads (90% imported) and still below 1.5 MB

 

[Dr. House]

i have to drop simply cause im unable to fix the internet on my computer on the moment (router isue) if anyone is an expert with routers plz pm me i need your help.

Good luck to all those who are still in it

Well, I have to drop out of this, my computer crashed, and I lost everything.

For me too! :'(

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Hmmm haven't posted anything here in a long time - I do still plan on entering, though I think I'm going to scrap my old concept

 

[Oziris]

Meh everyone is leaving. It's mostly a free to win contest if Chaos. leaves 3 . I'm going to start making a new one. Ran out of ideas for the old one.

 

[Cihparg]

There's like... no one left in this contest D

I'll make a quick sketch for the contest, I guess.

EDIT: Today is not a day to create.
Hive crashed, World Editor Crashed, Warcraft Crashed, Neverwinter Nights Crashed, SFWare Iron Crashed...

 

[The_Olorin]

Im starting to wonder how much contesters we have then, cause sadly many of original contesters have quited. Theres like a somekind of curse against this contest.

 

[-SoulBurn]

Yeah, everyone's computer crashed
including mine, glady i had a backup so i don't lost anything. I'm still in, but my social life is demanding lots of my time (not that i don't like it ;p)
I had to adapt part of my concept so i can still finish it in time.

 

[Oziris]

Okay! Everyone that is attending to finish the contest or start working should quite now while he has the chance before his computer gets crashes. (Hehe, if they listen I might just take the first, second and third place!)/sarcasm

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Damn guys, how do you keep crashing your computers? I've had mine ~5 years and never once screwed it up to the point in which I've lost all data.

 

[Midnighters]

Dude, my computer is 12 years old, and I have tons of shit on it, also, my grandmother uses it, and doesn't know shit about computers.

 

[Cihparg]

Imma firing my lazor, BOOYAA!
Wait wut, where did that come from...

 

[Chaos.]

Meh everyone is leaving. It's mostly a free to win contest if Chaos. leaves 3

Don't count on it.

Another wip. Just over 1000 wooden posts so far.
I'm saving the actual surrealism part till the end.

 

[Oziris]

Good job on placing every single one of those wooden parts.

 

[metatronscube6]

Well with such an awesome theme I have to at least try...
I'll be posting WIP pics later. Wish me luck!
To prepare I'm listening to a lot of ambient techno, and Tool, haha.

Welcome metatronscube6. The more competators, the better. I wish you luck.

Thumbs up if you want that noone leaves the contest.

 

[Cihparg]

My world editor doesn't like this contest... it keeps crashing.

 

[metatronscube6]

Quick question: Will this be judged from the perspective in game or from any and all perspectives within the editor?

 

[Ikithe]

All these screenshots and stuff are really good, I wanna see who wins. I wish I could do something, but I'll try on the next contest. You guys are too good

 

[FunkyDude44]

If its not too late i'd like to sign up. I'll put of a WIP in a bit, right now i have to go shopping ^-^

Sounds fun!

 

[FunkyDude44]

Hey look!

A Wip!

WIP

This is very early in the design, it might change drastically by the time im done. Or hell maybe even by the next WIP.


Edit: A cinematic sequences allowed? Imported music?

Edit 2: Scratch that last 1
On a note of wanting it to be original I started over. Heres my WIP

WIP2

 

[Chaos.]

New Wip. Over 2000 wooden posts now.


Info: To explain a little about this: most of the construction will be on one rock platform. As you can see, some of the houses are torn apart. Those parts will be "floating into the abyss" but will still be bonded to the main platform by vines.

To Do List:

• Add 7 more roofs to the buildings.
• Spam the floor with rocks and stuff.
• Add massive amount of branches between the parts of the buildings.
• Add in invisible platforms to make it playable.
• Add in some decorations in the houses like beds, shelves, etc..
• Tweak and epicify (so not a word )
• Convince Keiji, Megafyr, and the rest of "them" to get off their lazy butts and join in to add to the competition making this more fun. Oh wait. That's not supposed to be on this list. Oh well.

Only 7 days left. Can I do it? Absolutely!

I liked the look of the first one so far, it was looking nice. The problem with the second one is, you have stretched textures.

Loving your terrains so far, I am thinking about whipping something up in the next week.

 

[Oziris]

Looks nice chaos. but it's going to be hard for you to make it match the theme, it looks too realistic for surrealism. I re-created my terrain and I'm soon going to post WIP's, probably tomorrow.

 

[M0rbid]

In fact surrealism is often very realistic. One of the main issues of surrealism is that something realistic looking is just impossible to be seen!

PLAYABLE SURREALISM: Having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream.

I think that isn't realistic.

 

[-Kobas-]

I was busy whole this time, and I didn't worked on map, but I am free tomorrow whole day so expect some screenshots! I think that I can finish with base tiles and shit!

 

[Chaos.]

Yay! Roofs.


To Do List: (Edited)

• Attach the parts of the broken houses with vines.
• Add in the actual surreal part (secret). I'm debating between two ideas.
• Add in invisible platforms to make it playable.
• Add in some decorations in the houses like beds, shelves, etc..
• Tweak and epicify (so not a word )

 

[M0rbid]

PLAYABLE SURREALISM: Having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream.

I think that isn't realistic.

But the single parts of the whole composition are always very realistic.
Only placing them together makes the whole composition surrealistic which can be seen in many pieces of for example Dali.

 

[Celaquil]

Too true M0rbid. There is nothing wrong about Chaos' terrain, in terms of it following the theme. Surrealism is in all honesty something hard to define, because it means different things to different people, but as M0rbid is saying: Realistic "compositions" (as he so fluidly likes using) threaded together in a non-realistic and impossible manner (physically speaking) to exist, is one kind of surrealsim. In short: Realistic things piled together in a non-realistic way makes for a good surrealistic terrain base layer.

Savvy?!

it's hard to come up with an original idea without just adding floating things everywhere and upsidedown trees n such
IMO

 

[De.Facto]

.. I'm still in. (;

 

[Oziris]

Oh my GOD. That looks...looks.......no worlds to describe it. Great job De.Facto!
Btw, where did you get those crystals?

 

[Megafyr]

I can be a jugde, I wont be submitting anything

 

[Celaquil]

Looks awfully much like one of your previous maps, De.Facto. But then, I loved that one, and probably will love this one as well

Megafyr is added to the list of judges.

 

[L2love]

I am dropping out of this contest my map is corrupted so it can't be playable.

 

[De.Facto]

I'll mix the media. Imagine cLR and Arcadia would have a child together. ;>

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Facto, those crystals on the site? Resources have to be open source and on the site I believe (last time I checked the rules of a terraining contest)

-I'm still in if I can get myself to make something

 

[Celaquil]

Not neccesarily on this site, but the terrainer will have to make it public where to find the resource if it is taken from another site, unless he/she can do so; he/she cannot use them.

 

[Oziris]

I want to see that model uploaded! I want to use it in my terrain, but not in the terrain contest, that would make me coping. =P Also, how did you make that soft blue background?

Edit: Found the model on XGM site.

 

[Sorceress]

Ok i wanna Rejoin.

* Sadly i oversaved word office doc. where was all the cradits of the map, so if i forgot someone model(s), then let me know and i will fix that.

* You make notice, that the screen ingame may shake a little bit. Thats cause of camera system. Its hard to make a perfect 3D moving camera.

* Room 4 may look not good in WE but for that room, i mostly tryed to make ingame perfect.

* Screenshot pictures are little bit different from the finished map.
