Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[idodik]

I'm weak with the animations so please bear with me, however I do think this is an improvement compared to my previous WiP. Can anyone help me with setting animation?

WiP #2

 

[darkzxx]

no man,Khaled,he isn't insulting you,he isn't saying that the terrain is suckish or whatever
he is just saying,you made it in 5 mins,so it doesn't really counts as a wip,you should spent about 1hr+ on it and post it here then it will be counted as a wip,because that wip is too early too be called a wip,i can do that in 2 mins time,no kidding

off-topic : why do you guys call something a WiP ?

 

[Oziris]

darkzxx do you know what WIP even means?
You can post an empty picture with absolute no terrain progress done and call it WIP.
WIP-work in progress.

 

[darkzxx]

yeah i know that,but why do you guys call it that

 

[chilla_killa]

I'm unsure about the rocks because when I remove them I get trouble with the sky -.-
I have no clue how to make it look good.

 

[Oziris]

Because it's work in progress? Not finished yet?

 

[Hevenblood]

Any comment on mine? anyway, I really like all of the other entries. They all look good. I would comment myself, but I have a lot of studding to do. Good luck everyone!

Edit:
Got some time to write a review for some of the terrains.
Chilla killa-
I don't really know what to say. It looks really good, but something bothers me a little bit about the terrain. I really can't put my finger on it. It might be the background. It looks like a rock cliff, but I am not very sure.
It looks really good, I like the idea.
Good Luck!

Idodik-
It looks really good. I like it, but I think that the night elfs needs some more melee units to fight the orcs. Don't you think? Well, that is just my opinion.
Anyway, it looks really good , I like the idea, and the terrain looks good as well.

Edit 2:

Wip 3!!! Comments, and criticism are welcome!

I still need some ideas.

 

[snowman990]

here's my third WIP:

It's a battle between High Elf Worgen vs Orc Undead
@Hevenblood:there's a selection circle on it. i think you must make a vine on the rock

 

[Tamerleine]

it's flat in the right

Looks very nice.

 

[Deolrin]

WIP - Work in progress.
E.g, "I'm working on it."
E.g, "It's unfinished yet."
E.g, "A lot of work still has to be done."
I hope that clarifies stuff, Darkz.

 

[The_Olorin]

Time for my update



Changed camera angle.
Added armys, but no animations yet. There are 2 sides: the Alliance of Honor and Darkness Army.

Suggestions, critism, ideas etc are welcome.

 

[idodik]

Heavenblood, I love your terrain It looks so fitting to have Treants in it! Perhaps you could do Treants against Creeps - that would be awesome
Also thanks for the criticism, I can't find Night Elf melee units but I'll do my best to search again.

Error_Trigger - you've got some nice unit anims there but I'm afraid the terrain isn't interesting enough: a battlefield must be more interesting than a flat field of grass!
Also it looks like you just spammed away with your units and didn't have much of an idea what your were doing yourself.. Sorry if it's harsh but I'd like to see the contrast between the two parties better.
Again, great anims, but I'm afraid the rest needs to be improved.

The_Olorin, holy shit your terrain is awesome :O But I can't see the impact of the battle on the environment! Also your people seem to be HUGE compared to the terrain, I'd shrink them a bit, and the musclary units don't make clear who do they belong to.
Again, great terrain, awesome background.

 

[darkzxx]

since i am asking fladdermasken why the aphla tile won't work,i will work on my terain while waiting

guys i know what WIP means,but you have common sense right?
if you post a terrain made in 3 min,whats the point in posting it ?
it really is pointless,you guys know it,if it isn't,everybody would post a
1.raised cliff image
2.added one rock image
3.added some trees image
whats the point ? if you guys do this,it would really be considered as spam AND if you do this,the pages can really go up to 50+

Nuff said.

 

[M0rbid]

I consider it a WiP since it shows the direction in which his terrain is going and shows off a start, of course if the next WiP or entry does look totally different, this WiP would not be a proove he made it.
But posting it as a screen to get feedback is totally fine.

End of the "WiP-discussion".

Yes,i havent made the impact on the environment yet. Atm just placed units. And they seems too huge, but when you campare then to the door size, you see that they are pretty normal size(exept nazguls, they supose to be bigger). And ye the muscular unit seems too neutral, gona change him.

Thanks for feedback and waiting for more.

 

[Oziris]

The_Olorin, those units are a mess, and I can't really figure out who's what and what are they doing. You should remove those glows, they are unrealistic for art terrain.

 

[Goolygot]

I haven't changed much, but at least I have some progress.

[chilla_killa]

Very monotone and boring at the moment, add more tile variation and add shrubs and other natural environment.

 

[Cavman]

I haven't changed much, but at least I have some progress.

Orcsdeep!

 

[Midnighters]

I find it kind of humorous that it is Orc vs Fel Orc.

 

[snowman990]

ok then.i will erase all of the unit and then i will improve the terrain.and thanks for the feedback

 

[Azurot]

Added a bit more action to it. Wip #3 anyone?

 

[fladdermasken]

What you've done so far is brilliant Azurot. It lacks a superb background to go with it however, my focus being mainly at the empty horizon.

 

[Skycraft]

Needz a little moar backing definition.

 

[Azurot]

Needz a little moar backing definition.

Would you mind elaborating a tad more on exactly what "Backing definition" is?

What you've done so far is brilliant Azurot. It lacks a superb background to go with it however, my focus being mainly at the empty horizon.

Personally I find the empty horizon fitting for an ocean.
It makes for a very contrasting feeling between the dense jungle dwelling horde and the open barren ocean dwelling naga.

Wow. Those Hooded things remind me of what I can picture a Myrddraal from the Wheel of Time novels looking like almost to a 'T' except that they don't have a matching evil horse.

What are those, Ring Wraiths?

 

[Cavman]

Myrddraal fuck yeah. Now just need some Trollocs.

 

[Vizel]

Man, if someone made some models, I'd totally do a WoT RPG.

We could use Gargoyles for Drahkgar. Gray Men could be Villagers, and so basically, we'd only need Trollocs, Myrddraal, and maybe Ogier, I haven't searched for them.

I could make it so the classes are Aes Sedai, Asha'man, Aiel, Borderlander, or Seanchan.

Fame and Glory await in the Blight for those who are strong enough to survive it!

 

[snowman990]

here's my fourth WIP:

 

[PROXY]

here's my fourth WIP:

You have too much randomness in your picture. It's basics are good, but for example dungeon rocks and barren trees in a city/village terrain don't fit at all.

 

[Oziris]

Error_trigger

1. Remove the barrens rocks.
2. Remove those trees in the right in the background and add mountains instead, 2-3 layers also behind the city.
3. It is still very flat.
4. Make those tiles less random, remove the desert like tiles.
5. You should make the houses smaller in the city and add more of them.
6. An army would be cool marching at the city.
7. Add another sky PLEASE. Fogged for example, and make it night IMO and add clouds.
8. Why are the city's walls blue? =/ Make them more greyish.
9. Also remove the barrens trees.

This should improve your terrain a lot if you do everything I've listed here. Good luck.

 

[Dr. House]

Yes yes this is going to be a big noob question but does anyone know how to make a wall like a half circle? so that you can make a round wall

 

[Midnighters]

What exactly do you mean? If the model is square, you will have to arrange them facing various directions, so that it looks circular.

 

[Oziris]

Well, I'm sure there is a circle wall in the UTM, but its more of a tower then a wall. You can place that or make the walls go like this:
..\
...\
....\
..../
.../
../

 

[Dr. House]

i got the idea to make gondor from lord of the rings so i hope that explains it a bit on what i mean with a round wall btw ty for that idea oziris

 

[idodik]

Goolygot, keep in mind that the terrain needs to be taken in the middle of a battle or after one. Your current WiP is taking place before the battle, so it doesn't count.
Also despite the terrain itself being flat and monotone the camera and the arrangement of the units on the wall is amazing. You just need to make your environment more interesting.

 

[Oziris]

I don't see what's wrong with before battle, Morbid, I say you allow it, it clearly has to do with the battlefield theme, it should count.

 

[M0rbid]

Yes, I allowed this since I counted it as during the battle, see my explanation before.
However I will update the first post to clarify this.


RULES UPDATED!!! Please check the first post!

Note: This are only details to clarify a few things and do not influence the shown WiP in any negativ way! So everything that has been posted yet is totally fine and goes along with the rules!

 

[snowman990]

Dammit...my WE crashed because i make my stormsphere giant...i must make from start again... :'(
Lucky i've take a pic of it
fifth WIP:

 

[Azurot]

Dammit...my WE crashed because i make my stormsphere giant...i must make from start again... :'(

All you have to do is make the storm sphere really small again in the object editor, or make it unselectable, also in the object editor.

 

[Adiktuz]

a battlefield... hmmm... sounds cool... might try to do something...

 

[darkzxx]

Error_Trigger

1.ground too flat
2.i am totally sure,the background trees(left top) can really be changed to hills
3.nice tree huh ? NO,some of your trees look totally funny
4.remove the nova,if you do not want to do it,make the nova bigger
5.the hill in the right bottom,look at the fence,what is a fence doing there ?
6.what is that purple thing ?
7.try to use more tree variations,i think you CnPed the trees where the golems is standing in
8.the battlefield looks really messy,X vs X vs X vs X vs X ? omg

 

[snowman990]

the battlefield looks really messy,X vs X vs X vs X vs X ? omg

oh forgot to tell all of you:
it's an undead allied with orc vs worgen allied with high elf.That golem is in the undead side.

some of your trees look totally funny

what trees?

5.the hill in the right bottom,look at the fence,what is a fence doing there ?

before those undead and orc came the high elf and worgen is making those fence for defense.

6.what is that purple thing ?

it's a magic fountain

 

[Deolrin]

Error_trigger, I seriously recommend you to make it a lot more simple, something like "orc vs human" or at least "undead vs worgen". At the moment it's a clusterfuck of units, and they don't fit with the terrain at all.

 

[darkzxx]

oh sorry,i didn't look carefully,but you should really change the color to blue
you see the golem with the frost nova? look at the middle of the picture,look at the trees,totally funny

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Might join, but I don't promise anything.

 

[idodik]

Might join, but I don't promise anything.

You're supposed to judge the Short Story contest. I hope you won't neglect that.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Here's my first WIP. I'll leave it open as to what the battleground participants will be, for now at least.

Azurot, u have a way of making great terrain!
