Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[M0rbid]

Battlefields: This terrain has to represent a battleground while or after a battle of two parties

• It's the contestants task to create a terrain that creates in any way the feel of a battlefield during or after a battle. Additionally a battlefield before the battle can be shown, because this is covered by while battle, since the lineup of the parties is a part of the battle itself.
• No submission may violate any of the http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/faq/
• All submissions must follow the current theme. If any terrain does not fit, a moderator or the host will tell you as soon as possible as to avoid confusion.
• Your submission in form of a screenshot must be posted before the deadline.
• You must show at least one unfinished preview of your submission, before the deadline, as proof that it’s yours. Also you are adviced to keep the original map until the contest is over.
• Your submission may not be started/made before the official launch of the contest.
• Judges may not participate.
• Teamwork is not allowed.
• Map may consist of any resource as long a it is public and not ripped or stolen
• Unless a used resource belongs to either hiveworkshop or Wc3 Campaigns, a link to the used resources must be provided.
• No image editing tools may be used to enhance the terrain previews (however cropping is allowed).
• You are allowed to use triggers for animation purposes (showing animation of units) and therefore take a screenshot ingame, however every other Trigger use will disqualify your entry. This does not go for the necessary camera and weather effect triggers aswell as teamcolour triggers that are needed to gain the possibilites of a WE shot for an ingame shot

[idodik]

Wow, nice. I might be participating in this.

 

[VeljkoM]

This is great idea. I am hopefully participate.

 

[chilla_killa]

This may be futuristic, too?

 

[M0rbid]

Yes.

 

[Oziris]

Great! Pyritie approved it. ^^

 

[The_Olorin]

Gona give it a try. The theme is very interesting im waiting already what other are coming up to.

 

[fladdermasken]

Count me in for sure. Although I actually did favor the Racial Settlements theme, I must say.

 

[-Devinity-]

Sign me in

 

[Raven0]

I probably won't start mine for a while, but i'm definitely participating. GL to all.

 

[tagg1080]

Can we make the map in the galaxy editor?


Oh snap, can of worms opened?

 

[Oziris]

You cant use Galaxy Editor, this is a Wc3 Contest not a SCII.
I hope this -Devinity- guy doesn't turn up like Raven0 and surprise us all!

 

[Celaquil]

Good luck everyone

 

[Vizel]

I wish i had time for this contest, D:

I have an amazing idea that I'd LOVE to implement.

Oh, well, my first contest will have to be later. Between working 40+ hours a week and everything else, I simply don't have time.

GL though.

 

[Dr. House]

Once there was a man with the name DR. House and he participated in this contest.

 

[Chaos.]

Definately in.
Keiji, now that you aren't judge/host, are you going to join? The more competition the better.
I'm still sticking with my colossus idea. Just a few changes to make it fit this theme.

 

[VeljkoM]

Uh do sieges fit in this theme? Or at least city fights or is it necessary to be on an open space?

 

[Oziris]

Hehe Chaos. your just like me. Sticking to the colossus idea but with a few changes.
I think Keiji won't be joining us but I'm hoping for the best that he will be.
VeljkoM I think siege could fit, it's a battle after all, and it doesn't have to be on open space as long as we can see some signs of battles.

 

[johannesr]

I'm in, gotta start thinking of an idea.

 

[Celaquil]

Uh do sieges fit in this theme? Or at least city fights or is it necessary to be on an open space?

There is no speciments as to "how" or "where" the battle has to be fought, and when there isn't, you can assume that you can do your battle on top of a cheese mountain, or in the mids of a geyser erupting, if you wanted to, the only thing that needs to be present is two forces fighing each other.

On the "will I join or not" note, well. I'm only going to say that joining a contest is, hard for me, and not only that the chance for me not finishing my entry is even larger. But if I do get a good idea, and if I DO sample some determination, I might just want to get into this fight. But, as previously stated, it's doubtful.

 

[chilla_killa]

I'll do some kind of Fallout terrain.

 

[Oziris]

I'm going for a modern terrain in a city.
Too bad Keiji =/

 

[M0rbid]

To answer everyone's upcoming question so far, so that everyone has an "official" answer:

1. This is a Warcraft 3 Contest, so no Galaxy Editor may be used.
2. The theme is battlefield without any more specifications, but it is batteground, so what your terrain needs to include: two parties and a place where the battle takes place. (it must be visible, that this location has been influenced by the battle of course, because that actually is a battlefield). The rest is up to you.
However what is not considered a battlefield is, like I said before, something like Godzilla destroying a town or something like that.
3. Dr. House asked me, about the imports. This rule is included in the first post aswell, however I will repeat myself here. Every import is allowed as soon as you link the ressource in case of it not being from wc3c or hive. However Rips and stolen material is not allowed for this contest.

 

[VeljkoM]

So I am allowed to have a city on my battlefield technically speaking as long as I show both sides, the course of fight, casualties...

 

[M0rbid]

Seems fine to me. Only make sure you keep a feeling of a battlefield to it!

 

[Hevenblood]

I want to join! My first contest that I have joined.

 

[Oziris]

Morbid, I didn't mean a Godzilla destroying a city, what I meant was a Godzilla vs Godzilla in a city.

 

[M0rbid]

that's possible of course.

 

[snowman990]

looks interesting...hmm...i want to join this but i'm on an exam...

 

[ACdestinydream]

I want to re-create the greek wars... =D

 

[L2love]

Im in for sure.

 

[Bloodbath]

I want to participate..
good luck everyone

[Raven0]

No

You just have to follow the rules and submit atleast 1 WIP (work-in-progress).

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

I guess the screenshot may (uh, must?) be taken ingame, right?
Seriously thinking about being owned entering this one =P

 

[-Kobas-]

Wait wait wait wait check above
The poll for Terraining Contest #10 is now open!
^^

btw if I don't get any inspiration soon I will ask host for judge place!

 

[Wolfe]

Are oGre_'s rock models allowed? They are from it-who-shalt-not-be-named.

Link: http://xgm.ru/p/wc3/3237

My apologies to have to link to XGM, but those rock models are just so damn good.

 

[Vizel]

You named it AND linked it??!

HERETIC!

Seriously, though, I actually would have time to partake in this over my vacation, but... that would be rude to my mom who hasn't seen me in over a year. >.>

 

[Skycraft]

I'll start a bit later but I'm definitely in.
Good luck everyone.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Oh wow, this got approved?

Meh, don't like the theme but I may still join

His models have ripped WoW textures on them.

As well, I am entering this contest, and I am making a naga vs Human battle scene.

 

[darkzxx]

wait,has the contest started? can i start on the terrain now ?

 

[Midnighters]

It started at 00:01 server time. 3 hours ago.

 

[darkzxx]

there is about 40 days so i guess i should start at around day 5-10

 

[Evil_Redneck]

I think I'll try this since I actually saw the contest the day it was opened.

 

[Hevenblood]

His models have ripped WoW textures on them.

Not all of the models in that rock pack have wow rips on them. can we just use the ones that do not need the texture? for example the gray rocks.

 

[Tamerleine]

I wanna enter..

edit:can I use the Ultimate terraining map(as a base) for this contest?

 

[M0rbid]

Not all of the models in that rock pack have wow rips on them. can we just use the ones that do not need the texture? for example the gray rocks.

Yus, you are allowed to use those.

@Tamerleine: Of course the UTM is allowed as it consists mostly of Hive and wc3c ressources and can be found on hive to be downloaded.

@darkzxx: yes it has started, you can start working

@bloodpath5557: Posting a WiP will automatically put you on my list of possbile entries, so no need for anything else.

@Marcelo Hussomi: It's up to you wether you want to take it in Editor with pressing "v" or ingame.

 

[Bloodbath]

shud i take screenshots from WE or ingame?

EDITi figured it out sry wasnt reading the previous post
EDIT 2:can I ask someone to help me with ingame camera triggering?

 

[Lambdadelta]

I wouldn't take a screenshot from ingame, most people do it in the editor. However, I'm guessing you should be allowed, as the contest is centralized around terrain, but a good camera angle is part of terraining xO ~ Ignore me T__T

Random themes I hope to see:

• Humans vs Orcs
• Sentinel vs Scourge
• Hell vs Heaven
• x vs y
• Dolphins vs Sharks

 

[Oziris]

I actually found some time to make something but I won't be updating it in some time, much to study.

I'm currently thinking what to do with the buildings, they are too boring.
Also the black hole is caused by someone or something.
