Terraining Contest #11 - Battlefields

[elredir]

oziris that looks amazing,while it has lots of detail you cleaned up a little bit in the last update
one thing i dont like tough is that the sky is a bit too dark,or is it just me?

 

[Azharr]

Well, After seeing others i dont think this is very good, but
heres my final copy

 

[Tleno]

erm dude. You have to post a screenshot.

 

[supertoinkz]

Last WiP. I'll post the final tomorrow.

EDIT: Nevermind that selection circle. It's the camera.

 

[indomitable1319]

Very good work supertoinkz.

I just want you to add a bit more tile variation over on the evil side, it's pretty boring.
As for the good side, I can see that it hasn't been worked on yet.

Good luck.

 

[supertoinkz]

Thanks.

Yes, the tiles will be done later. Also the skies.

 

[indomitable1319]

I mean tile variation on the non-lava part, okay?

 

[supertoinkz]

Yeah, both of the sides' grounds are flat.
My problem now is to show that river. Currently, it is covered by those light soldiers. I'm thinking making forks like I did with the lava. Any ideas?

 

[indomitable1319]

Make the light soldiers come from a lake, with those mountains having waterfalls falling into that lake.

But don't pull the soldiers down, though.

Your problem lies not with the river, I can tell you as much. The end of the world is 'oh-so-very' clearly visible, and it does not look good

I'd say you should concentrate on depth and fixing this issue before you worry about anything else.

 

[Dr. House]

Im out (Don't have the time to finish my terrain sinse if got lots of tests on the moment and still coming up) good luck to everyone who joined.

 

[fladdermasken]

I went ahead and did something quite daring. I've started a new concept.

I'll see if I can make the deadline, if not then I guess it's a lost cause for me.
I am rather certain I'll make it in time however.

Here's the first WIP.


Wish me luck people

 

[Azurot]

I think i'll do the same as Fladdy on this one, new concept.

Ancient Rome being invaded by demons just before dawn. Just need to work on the battle and the empty places.

 

[-Kobas-]

Azurot that is really epic, but can I suggest you to import realistic textures for units to increase image beauty even more!

Example:
Swordsman -> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/skins-552/stormtrooper-blp-168175/?prev=mmr=6

 

[Oziris]

Nice Azurot, can't wait to see the battle.

Fladd, why did ya not continue your first terrain? =/ anyway good luck with this one.

 

[CoBrA b]

Final...?

I guess this will be my final entry if no one has anything to say about it.

I'll be going on vacation for the next week, so this is pretty much the last chance I have to change anything.

 

[fladdermasken]

Fladd, why did ya not continue your first terrain? =/ anyway good luck with this one.

Didn't turn out the way I wanted it I suppose. And portraying a conflict was harder than I imagined.
Hence, I started this new piece.

Thank you for the well wishes

Here's the second WIP now.

 

[idodik]

Azurot, your use of doodads is breathtaking. However the area behind the human party is empty and that draws the eye, so you could make cracks or debris or something.
Also it looks like there's a floating flare at the center of that building, perhaps you could make it blend more into the building itself.
Otherwise excellent.

fladdermasken, I'm assuming that plane area isn't finished yet but it still looks very nice. The rest looks lovely.

I'll probably be facing one of the last places...

 

[fladdermasken]

Don't discourage yourself, at least you'll finish your entry on time.

I'm still not completely convinced I can make the deadline

fladdermasken, I'm assuming that plane area isn't finished yet but it still looks very nice. The rest looks lovely.

Ah yes, quite unfinished indeed. This is quite early on.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

 

[chilla_killa]

Azharr, post the screenshots in .png or .jpg format!!

 

[Krl70]

Great work everyone. Sad to see that someone probably won't finish though... Five days, good luck.


P.S: I'm now at 500 posts! *Drinks a glass of soda*

 

[fladdermasken]

If you're by any chance refering to me, it isn't over 'till the fat lady sings

EDIT: Yet another update.
Feedback is very much appreciated.

 

[idodik]

@fladdermasken, Small things:
- The lighting on the robot in the center of the picture makes it look too cubical, or is that the model itself?
- The floor is still too plain, you should add tile variation and stuff. I know it's not finished, but it still bothers me.
- I don't understand what the giant mechs on the sides are for and what do they do, but I guess that's not the main point of the picture.
- Just reminding you, there's no battle to be seen yet and there are only 5 more days left until the deadline.
Otherwise I love the environment and the fused choice of textures, doodads and units.

 

[Goolygot]

This is my final

The robot is quite cubic seen from that angle, lighting or no makes little difference.

I have yet to seriously start working with tiles beyond the first fence.

If you reckon they look good, then they have served their purpose.
Fact of the matter is, the left bound mech is a giant drill digging for potential oil sources. The right bound mech is a factory.

Battle is coming, there is still five days left.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

[Oziris]

Awesome Fladd, I love your entry, keep it up!

Updated my, the lava on the right side was somehow pulling to much attention IMO, too bright and didn't fit nice with the sky. If the change is bad, tell me, I can easily return the lava back.

 

[idodik]

Goolygot, it's fascinating but I'd like to see crates or something on the walls.

Oziris, it looks like nature is taking over the scene and decreases the value of the battle in the picture. I suggest you reinsert the lava.

Thank you, I'm pushing hard to make the deadline.

And yes, getting rid of the lava was the right choice as far as I'm concerned.

 

[supertoinkz]

I'm out. Not enough time and exams tomorrow.

 

[L2love]

Can someone tell me how to play the animations in editor I know it's been said sorry but I can't find it in the thread.

 

[idodik]

It's in the animation category, for god's sake.

Final Entry

Reign of Chaos Battlefield <BR>
This is my final entry. It is a Battlefield after a great battle between orcs and humans. This terrain shows the awful power of the destruction and the battle.

The Terrain haves unit pathing (i know there must be not) and it will be uploaded to the Hiveworkshop in the Map selection as Terrain Template after the Contest.

Hope you like it. Give feedback, so i can do a last update. Any updates will replace this Post.

Reign of Chaos Battlefield

 

[chilla_killa]

1. Where the fuck is the battle? I can't see even corpses.
2. "No image editing tools may be used to enhance the terrain previews"

 

[Tleno]

Yes, you have to remove that text or else you won't be allowed.

And you don't have to take picture in middle of battle, you can take it after it. And there's enough stuff showing it's a battlefield already.

 

[indomitable1319]

This is my final submission to the TC#11.

:D

 

[chanan12]

This is my final submission to the TC#11.

:D

YEA! you go dude!

i like how yours includes fighting, it gives it a very chaotic look.

 

[CloudWolf]

This is my final submission to the TC#11.

:D

I have to agree, its certainly got the "Battleground" atmosphere going for it

 

[Hevenblood]

I wont be able to finish mine. I have to quit the contest. Good luck everyone.

 

[fladdermasken]

Alright, should be one of my last WIPs.
After this, I'll be done with the terrain. I am no longer worried about the deadline, it will be done before time's up.
Criticism very much appreciated.

 

[L2love]

I don't like the hands on the robot walker thing but besides that it's very awesome.

 

[Soul Theft]

looks reallly cool but id like to see more bullets and rockets and stuff flying around

 

[Miss_Foxy]

This is one tough contest to vote for, everyone's entry looks awesome.

 

[Dr. House]

I might be able to finish my terrain. Just one small question. Are you allowed to use certain models from other websites than hive? I did read the first post btw but couldnt find anything as im prolly to blind xD

 

[M0rbid]

• 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.

This should clarify it

 

[Dr. House]

ok thanks. +rep for that o and btw here is my first wip... (i didn't want to show it but sinse we need a wip before we post the end result its fine with me)


It's isnt really what you call a battlefield but i gona stick with it anyway xD please give suggestions cause i could use them.

You seem to like that color scheme of the sky. Did you try it with other colors yet? Something less colorful?

There are also random glows (near the bottom right corner for example), no idea what they're supposed to be.

 

[johannesr]

Okay i think this will be my entry, unless there are some final suggestions.

 

[The_Olorin]

I started to make an new picture, cause when i finished with first one, it look awful IMO with units. Just didnt fit. What you think? Awful, good, great?



Well my new try is in most part from nature done, still need to add some doodads to make it more underwater and there is still an battleground missing, but gona finish tomorrow. The footman is there to show how big the warriors will be.



I came to this when i found out new tehnice in WE to me, how to raise water level so you can build under it. And when testing it, i remembered a Moses (i hope im right), when he went through the sea, making an dry ground and water to both sides. So i thought i gona do something similar.

So what you think, is 1. or 2. one better? Comments, critisism, ideas welcome.

@ Dr. House
Idea is nice, battle between canyons, but. . . those rock models are awful when they are close to camera, try to change then, use other( high res, Barrens usual rock and rotate them etc.) maybe try to make it something like in This picture

Well, the first screenshot could definitely work I think there just needs to be a little more space between each of the blue units. Right now, they just seem a little too tightly packed. Making a higher res picture also helps imo

The second one is also a nice idea, very original for Warcraft Only thing I might suggest is adding some waterfalls where the sea meets the land, perhaps with some fog doodads to represent some steam? It would certainly make the whole thing much more epic

All just suggestions ofc, they're both totally awesome in their current state anyways

 

[The_Olorin]

Thanks CloudWolf

Now you made it more harder for me to choose, wich pic will be better xD. But i will try your suggestions and see wich i like better. And what did you ment with usning high res pic. Did you meant that i should try somekind of high res screenshot maker or what?
