Terraining Contest #13 - Fictional World Wonder

[Azurot]

I Hope you guys don't mind if I join in on this.......

As a judge.. Hurr durr.

I kid.. I kid!

 

[Oziris]

Azurot, I'm not liking those trees. And the thing in the background, is it floating or standing on an ocean?

 

[AIagremm]

Okay, now I'm screwed.

And looks like explosion to me

 

[Azurot]

Azurot, I'm not liking those trees. And the thing in the background, is it floating or standing on an ocean?

It's a wonderfully wondrous thing, whether its floating or... floating.. is irrelevant.

Also, what do you not like about the trees?

 

[johannesr]

@Oziris I'm guessing it's some alien thing in a research base like Area 51 or something.

 

[Tleno]

It kinda like reminds me of Half Life 2: episode two, when the Citadel explodes to bits, creating some sort of anomaly vortex.

 

[AIagremm]

Agree with Tleno, even the environment looks like it.

 

[Foronisus]

guys when i make my screenshot can i put my name down there so no one in future shall steal it???

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

I doubt anyone would even steal it

 

[Foronisus]

ok i wont put name but i wanted to ask in case

 

[AIagremm]

Yea, no point in putting your name on. You could of course.

 

[Tleno]

Actually, you can't put your name with paint or any other picture editing programms, because that counts as editing a picture with special programs, and that's not allowed according to the contest rules... plus no need, nobody will steal your picture...

 

[Azurot]

Agree with Tleno, even the environment looks like it.

Just curious, are those directed at my WiP? Because I've never played nor seen your example. Ill have to look it up though

Yes, your terrain does remind of Hald Life 2: Episode Two.

 

[AIagremm]

Oh. To hell with that theory then!

 

[L2love]

Ok got back from my vacation and redid my whole terrain and I really like this version.

 

[Bugz]

Hmm looks familiar

 

[mischief123]

I believe i wont become the judge... since im not making the map for proof...

 

[Skycraft]

That is quite a nice flying pile of rubble.
Would be awesome to see it finished!

 

[eubz]

Just a little time and I've got my WIP...

 

[Tleno]

I really dislike those giant chains... you should probably make the smaller or something... just my personal opinion....

 

[2-P]

Yeah, build them out of archways like a boss.

 

[Amargaard]

It would look stupid with small chains in my opinion - you need huge chains to avoid the magical city from flying away! O.O

 

[fladdermasken]

You also need to reverse gravity for it to float in the first place.

 

[Oziris]

Maybe it's just a spell from a wizard living in the forest?

 

[fladdermasken]

Maybe it's just a spell from a wizard living in the forest?

Which doesn't by any means conflict with my point that we're dealing with art here, not physics. If it looks better with smaller chains, go for it.

Whether it's physically ideal or not is besides the point, somewhat irrelevant and so not raven.

 

[Oziris]

By all means change the chains if it will look better. Maybe it's a weaker wizard 8D

 

[eubz]

So, here's my wip...

I'm going to make my entry much bigger in size than this...

 

[M0rbid]

Hello...

 

[Bugz]

Hello...

You sir made a lovely picture!, but no building

 

[Czarofthewest]

My attempt here, fyi it's suppose to be the dam

Not sure if I'll submit it or not, feel outclassed by these fancy skins around O.O

Edit: Bleh I would of made it clickable/insta viewable. Would only show the X for w.e reason though.

 

[Tleno]

Those cliffs look kinda weird and unrealistic, you should consider using the raise tool instead of cliffs...

 

[Oziris]

Morbid those trees look randomly placed.

 

[Brambleclaw]

@Morbid The water looks bad with the white reflection otherwise nice

 

[johannesr]

Is it possible to freeze a doodad at a certain point in its animation in the WE?

Not unless you perform a model edit, but you could do like all the good terrainers do: Be good at timing your screenshot-button-clicking.

 

[eubz]

Another WIP from me... I'm going to edit this one before the deadline...

It's a bit hard with like 5 different things moving around :/

Add a pause command. So thatyou can set up all the units in game before going to the camera. So u could do like -cam for the camera
-pause unpause

The pause and unpause should not Unit pause selected unit

but instead Set unit Animspeed to 0 for selected unit. As to keep it in mid animation. Although this does not keep projectiles i dont think

He said in the World Editor, not in the game.

[fladdermasken]

...

Where am I going with this again?..

 

[johannesr]

That's some genius stuff fladder, almost on par with ZlatniLav's work!

 

[Chaos.]

Flad, Why on earth do you not have noise and blizz cliffs in there?

-Floating doodads
-No sky
-No fog
-No lighting
-No tile variation
-Abused particles
-Horrible doodad placement
-Bad choice of models

Bloody Briliant! Blizz cliffs and noise would have made this perfect. (Crap, I forget how to add sarcasm tags)

My guess is that you are basing your concept on the other definition of "wonder" - To think or speculate curiously. Your goal is to cause the public to look at your picture with confusion and cause them to "wonder" what in the "world" you were thinking. It's either that or you have completly lost all signs of sanity.

Regardless, unless I can miraculously find the time to start an entry, I will probably sign up to judge this.

 

[Ketsuno Anson]

Blizz cliffs are ugly,don't ever put em in

 

[eubz]

I think I am done with my terrain... This will be my final submission... If there are additional things I might put here before the deadline, I'm going to edit this again, gut if none, this will be my entry...

Crystal Building

 

[Skycraft]

eubz, the sky looks so dull, plain and generic.

Thanks... Fixed already...

I might edit the terrain, but using the cloud models uses the UTM so I need to use the Ultimate Terraining Map 3.0.w3x map for my terrain. I think it needs a lot of work because I will be creating the terrain again from the start then transferring the building to that map. Maybe if I could find time I will edit it.

If you're thinking what to immprove, you shjould consider:
1. Adding more tile variations.
2. Making some cliffs and hills look less spiky.
3. Add more details to the building.
4. Adding more and more realistic trees.

I will edit the map but with slight modifications. Maybe with what you have said... thanks to you and Madawc for the comments.

 

[Blood Raven]

eubz, i'd reccomend you these trees, they rock! -> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/snowpine-114724/?prev=search=snow%20tree&d=list&r=20
