First! I guess I will be joining this one again, as I've done to the last ones.
Let's see though if I have the motivation to finish.

 

[RaijinSpark]

If I could find some good doodads maybe I might join (It couldn't hurt to try) But I'm not saying anything that I'll really join.

 

[sPy]

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.

The theme is Horror/Nightmare, but why this? ^ (look at the quoted)

Thanks for mentioning, it is changed now
All hail the almighty copy and pasta and my lazyness.

 

[PROXY]

Maybe I'm joining this, if I ever get time ^^

Would have an pretty good idea.

 

[Sheephunter]

Im in! This will be fun! HEHGREEFEedEREWRWERWEREW.

 

[Celaquil]

Meh, disappointment...

Ah well, if a great idea pop's to mind, I'll see if I can't dish up something.

Can't agree more

 

[Denarok]

No idea for scary terrain

 

[Piwlady]

I'm most likely in. I see what I can do...

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Ah nice, I'm not going to be in this one but good luck to everyone participating!

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

What if we want to rise unit (for example vampire) and play some animation, 2 ways:
-Edit model (change animation to death and place it into WE in form of a destructible, set hp to 0 and rise it).
-Using triggers

Well that's only 1 example

What's with transparency, special effects, and so on
Should we remove triggers or allow all, after all, are they really big problem?

Sorry for posting this here, I just wonder?

 

[M0rbid]

Removed it, since the whole point is pretty POINTless.
Thanks for mentioning!

 

[-Kobas-]

Sorry for bothering, but with removing that rule, you allowed using triggers or not

 

[fladdermasken]

Meh, disappointment...

Ah well, if a great idea pop's to mind, I'll see if I can't dish up something.

This sums up my thoughts on this as well. And mark my words, at least half of the users who voted in the theme poll won't enter this contest.

Bah, it's unnecessary to cause any pointless drama, so I won't furtherly address that matter.
I'm most likely joining anyways.

Sort of sucks that I just finished a horror-ish terrain though... >.>

 

[M0rbid]

Sorry for bothering, but with removing that rule, you allowed using triggers or not

I did but correct me if I am wrong, is there anyway to cheat in a screenshot contest via triggers ? If yes I will gladly add the rule again

 

[-Kobas-]

Dunno unit transparency can be created only with triggers >.>

 

[Cihparg]

Or by asking someone to create you a transparent model.

 

[M0rbid]

Well I have nothing against that. so yeah....

 

[Pharaoh_]

The product you will receive/judge will be a static image, no matter what, so I highly doubt there is a way to cheat via triggers. I don't even know why triggers are not allowed. They are part of the editor, not some bonus enhancing program.

I might join as well, in order to realise a scene from my submission, in the story contest.

 

[Kirsi Salonen]

I join.

 

[Sage Chow]

Meh, disappointment...

Ah well, if a great idea pop's to mind, I'll see if I can't dish up something.

^^ That was my initial thought aswell, but while brainstorming I realised that this theme can be quite epic. I'm thinking surreal dark nightmares, foggy night terrains and gothic mansions. I'm not a superb terrainer and may choose the easy way out, but I've already picked a handfull of great concepts. The thing that threw me off is the pic in the first post. It should be an example terrain, not an ugly picture, so here you go:

An alternative

 

[AIagremm]

Well first I too thought that the theme is lame, but then I thought... and understood that I can make... Cthulhu terrain. What can be more horrible then the Dark One rising?! Except My Little Ponie overtaking the world of course >>

So Im in! =D
Hopefully I wont suck too much.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I'll Participate in this one i think, see what i can do, seeing as it will be my first Contest.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

What can be more horrible then the Dark One rising?!.

The return of the Richard Simmonsaur.


Really wish I could participate in this one, gah bad timing on my end.

 

[fladdermasken]

What can be more horrible then the Dark One rising?!

Your final entry.

*Rimshot*

 

[AIagremm]

Thats inspiring =P
Hopegully it will be.

 

[CoBrA b]

Definitely in! Looking forward to what sort of entries this gets.

 

[-Kobas-]

An alternative

At least re-size picture

 

[Celaquil]

Thats inspiring =P
Hopegully it will be.

Hopegully indeed.

 

[AIagremm]

I cannot fail the Dark One, in creation of his image to show to the non-belivers! =O
Or else my tornment and agony will be longer then they are going to be now!

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Are we allowed to Use UTM and then just credit the UTM instead of individual model makers?

 

[M0rbid]

Are we allowed to Use UTM and then just credit the UTM instead of individual model makers?

Yes, as stated in the rules of the first post^^

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Alright then, Thank you, sorry for not realizing xD.

 

[Phoonix]

here i come dark and twisted horrors of the Deep.

 

[Marsal]

I'm working on a map called Crawling that has a very dark theme I made, not so scary yet because that's not the goal of the terrain. Can I edit that terrain to look more scary? If you want I can show the map.

 

[x3GlikE]

I might join -,- if I am not busy.

You are not allowed to use preexisting terrains for your work. Also this is about one single screenshot.

 

[Marsal]

Well that's a pity :<, despite the fact I want to join.

 

[GhostThruster]

Might give this a try.

 

[GunSlinger]

I might join.

 

[Dr. House]

pfffff i always say i join something and than eventually do nothing. I think its about to be time that i actually am going to join this and do something. So lets say just count on it that im in this

 

[GhostThruster]

Are you sure?

 

[Adiktuz]

I'll try if I can make a terrain for this... ^_^

 

[Oziris]

Uh, I'm totally in! Been waiting a while for this. I'm probably going to go with some Vampire horror style terrain.

 

[Dr. House]

Are you sure?

Im sure but im not sure if i am sure about the fact that i am sure of it.

 

[The_Olorin]

Im gona give it a try. Lets hope theres gona be great works, cause this theme can give some pretty mighty entry's.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Im sure but im not sure if i am sure about the fact that i am sure of it.

So... possibly?

 

[Marsal]

My entry is gona be a part of an abandoned factory claimed by some cultists/zombies. Well I'm kinda new at terraining contest and the dark themed terrain isn't my biggest asset but I try to do my best ~.~ A part of the ground is already one, still seeking for the optimal models but it's hard to find with this lacking number of good models.
Well... this is how it looks like now, tryed to find a good camera location.

Pic

As I see it's a bit too dark now ~.~
