Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[Gyrosphinx]

I'm in! And going no custom trees, mainly because I'm the one person that likes Wc3 trees.

 

[Cihparg]

Mwuahahaha.
Well, I'm back, started redoing the landscape and removed all teh stuff.

 

[fita]

do we have to take the screnshot ingame or in WE?

 

[Skycraft]

do we have to take the screnshot ingame or in WE?

You can only take an in-game screenshot for trigger effects.
Apart from that, it must be done in WE I would say.

 

[Vizel]

read first post, i believe it is stated there.

 

[Adiktuz]

WIP... ^_^

First WIP - no units yet

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Adiktuz, it's not nice to see where the map ends. Cover it up with something.

[Raging Ent]

A second WIP! Added some action and changed camera view

WIP

 

[Deolrin]

You should use a custom skeleton model like this or this for the skeleton fighting the Blademaster.

 

[Raging Ent]

I'll think about using that King Leoric skin, thanks

 

[Phoonix]

I shal Join this. looks rather interesting.

 

[D a w n]

if I find some time I will create some terrain too. My theme would be some egypt battlefield with living and undead pharaos, mummies, holy priests and so on

Sounds interesting
Unfortunately there isn't a good pyramid model ..

Constructions can do wonders.

 

[Adiktuz]

new WIP... and I finally have an idea, it would be humans vs ancient elementals.

WIP2

Your battlefield is flat and boring. The plants you've placed are positioned tightly together and not spread out throughout the battlefield, and your mountain is completely lacking of the rocky terrain it's supposed to have.
I have also completely no understanding what the hell are those footmen fighting. You'd better change your elemental units - there are plenty fitting ones in the database.

 

[Adiktuz]

thanks for the feedback, I just started it so the flatness... ^_^

and the elemental is actually a construction...

is the mountain you're talking about, the one near to the camera?

 

[chilla_killa]

Awesome use of my Millenium Shield and my Crystal Wings
Finally someone found a use in it

 

[Adiktuz]

yeah, the crystal wings have been idle on my HDD ever since you uploaded it after my model request, and I also happened to stumble upon your millenium shield while browsing my equips folder. ^_^

 

[Phoonix]

Here are some WIP's hope you enjoy

 

[Adiktuz]

cool

I just don't understand why some of the soldiers show their back to their opponents... ^_^

 

[chilla_killa]

Looks pretty interesting, but the stones don't look good in my opinion.
Maybe use the ones I use, found in the High Quality Pack on wc3campaigns.
And for the shrubs, they looks pretty unrealistic because theres no variation in them.
Maybe also add a little colour variation to them?

I would also add some blood and maybe other units.

I also would maybe prefer a fog over the sun light, but that's your decision.
Maybe a cannon?

 

[Phoonix]

a cannon, oO where? and about the unit's showing their back, it's the only animation i can make em play it's a STAND READY animation so it's not much i can do about it, i would've wanted it different as well. perhaps a fog would be nice yes, i shall see.

 

[Adiktuz]

you can rotate the units on the editor...

 

[Phoonix]

true, but then when they play the rest of the anim and i take my screen shot wrong they would be firing at their own comrades, would be rather awkward no?

 

[Adiktuz]

oh, so the anim makes them rotate?

 

[Oziris]

Looks interesting Phoonix, hope to see it finished.

 

[Dr. House]

Phoonix imo a night scene would give it a much nicer feeling since you can really make use of that light house 2 than. But anyway thats just my opinion

 

[chilla_killa]

I once saw a cannon somewhere.

[Phoonix]

cannons aren't visible from that distance :/

 

[chilla_killa]

I meant cannons at the beach.

 

[Phoonix]

at the beach? i tried and eh well, it doesn't really fit.

 

[idodik]

Adikutz, what the footmen are fighting looks like a giant shield with an eye. That's not something they need to be fighting, even if (or perhaps actually because) it has those weird things. Whatever it's supposed to be, replace it for your own sake.
And yes I'm talking about the hill near the camera.

 

[Phoonix]

some more WIP's once again hope you like it.

 

[Deolrin]

I believe you should replace those rocks with a different model, and add some blood on those dead soldiers. Perhaps also some flying bullets, or at least gun shots from some of the soldiers. Also, if you aren't doing so already, play the dead soldiers' "death" animations, as those look a lot like they're just standing. It looks fine but kind of weird, especially since all of them are in that position. Also, you could use the "Rotate Bone" trigger to rotate their heads so they face a different direction. And finally, it might look better if it was night, and you really should add a shooting cannon somewhere.

 

[Phoonix]

as I explained before, i can't set the animations of the model to anything else as Stand Ready or Stand 1. about the cannon, well i WOULD but it doesn't fit on the front line and in the distance a cannon isn't visible, i did however ass those small explosions and they're supposed to be cannon fire. What i was trying to do however was make water splash up to make it look like a cannon ball dropped there but it just looked awkward, I'm still trying to get it right but it could take a while. and lastly, no I'm not going to make it night, sorry i like this better.

 

[Deolrin]

Why can't you set them to anything else? :S

 

[Phoonix]

i don't know why, i tried but to make it play other anims but it only plays Stand ready when i put in a string.

 

[Deolrin]

Did you try to perhaps order it to attack dummy units or so? Like make an invisible unit with infinite life, 0 collision shape, and then put it on top of an enemy Skirmisher. Perhaps also use such dummy units to cast a spell and kill a few skirmishers. There's a work-around for everything. ^^

 

[Phoonix]

yes, that would work if i take IN-game shots ^^

 

[Celaquil]

Hark, another WIP.

 

[fladdermasken]

Phoonix, those rays are too intense.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Nice keiji, id like to see more angles cus thats a really nice shot =)

 

[Blood Raven]

WiP 3

Here's my 3rd WiP...
any comments?

 

[Oziris]

Those shrubs are too bright, tint them down.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

You have a lot of the same exact model, your using the headless corpse like all throughout, get like a footmens corpse, or something.
And the color of the hill on the left hand side doesnt match the scenery.

 

[Blood Raven]

Oziris, the bad thing is, that those shrubs can't be recolored... :/

InfiniteAnswers, there are footmen corpeses, but not at the point of the Screshot, ill put some there. I haven't understood what about the hill on the left side...
there's the hill on the left side...

 

[Oziris]

Ofc they can, just tint them to 150 150 150
