Terraining Contest #17 - Afterlife Realms

[Arad MNK]

@Edge: The Terrain seems... Unfinished and Naive.
I believe it's a Base.

Good luck to you/All.

 

[Strydhaizer]

I am expecting something from you thar.
~get back to work~

Sure babe, gi'mme time to stock up new resources for my map, i'm going to make it playable. ;p

 

[fladdermasken]

Deadline is so early -_-

Actually, it's the other way around. Previous contests have been waaaay too long

A month plus is more than enough time to finish a terrain

 

[Celaquil]

So, some of you know that I've recently been very busy moving from one city to another
and stuff, but it looks like things are fitting together now and I may actually have a flat
and my PC installed in it come weekend, so if everything goes as planned, I'll try
blackmailing my mojo into create a terrain.

No promises, I need to feel the terrain when making it, but I'll try to give you chaps
some competition

 

[fladdermasken]

I need to feel the terrain when making it

No that was two contests ago

 

[Ardenian]

It's up to each contestant whether it is a portrait or playable ?

 

[fladdermasken]

It's up to each contestant whether it is a portrait or playable ?

The final submission is in the form of a screenshot either way

If you want to flesh out a playable scene and submit a screenshot of that, I wouldnt stop you

Worth mentioning though is that there are no extra credits given

 

[Ardenian]

That's good to know, thank you!

 

[APproject]

Ow, the deadline is early indeed, but that is just my personal approach, because personally I would like it to be at least to the 23rd of September, since if I am to work on this, it will be during September. But that's just some subjetive ramblings, I would however vote for an extension for at least one week further.

@Arad MNK

Aye, notice the "WiP"

 

[Deleted member 242951]

I flipped my theme, Its heaven now.
But I'm still not sure.

EDIT :

HEAVEN WIP :

 

[Arad MNK]

@Arad MNK

Aye, notice the "WiP"

Yeah, I know.
Wait, Are you offended? If so, then I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

@DS20: Well, The Same Base.

@All: Good luck.

 

[2-P]

It's true, I am a pretty shitty terrainer myself.

Smartest thing you ever said.

 

[PublishedShadow]

Whelp, I guess it's WIP time. Here are my two base terrains... Suppose I'll make a good and evil afterlife and then I'll pick my final entry between the two depending on which I like better...

 

[Edge45]

@Arad MNK

Nay (actually no, I gotta stop saying this language sometimes)

WiP 2

 

[Arad MNK]

@Arad MNK

Nay (actually no, I gotta stop saying this language sometimes)

WiP 2

Looks good, except one thing.

Why do people use 0 tinting when Making something black? (Except advanced shading)
This makes the Texture completely useless.

Tinting your things to 10/15 would do the same but it doesn't destroy your texture and makes it Visible enough.

 

[fladdermasken]

Smartest thing you ever said.

no u

 

[Edge45]

@Arad MNK

I made it on purpose, I will soon add lighting to it when the some areas are done

WiP 3

 

[Strydhaizer]

That's creepy evil sky, but you may want to decrease the black abit, black took half of the terrain already.

 

[Edge45]

@Stryd--

Well then, I'll adjust on the next wip, but I'll add the lava first,

 

[Paillan]

I have a question before joining.

If I don't believe in afterlife, am I allowed to join?

I will still be joining, just asking

 

[Ardenian]

I have another question, the theme is 'Afterlife Realms', does this include the progress of leaving life and entering afterlife ?
Or do we have to specifically show the Afterlife Realm itself ?

Just add Leila and it will be hot. Interested to see yours though.

I think it's allowed as long as it shows an afterlife realm, and to make it better have it have more space than the living realm.

Well, if you show only the passage, but not the realm itself ?

 

[PublishedShadow]

I would assume it's pretty much any interpretation of what happens after death. It could be transpiring through a purgatory like realm, heaven, hell, or even something like the singularity.

Beliefs dont matter here, we're here to make an art.

 

[Paillan]

Sorry your Leila is in another contests

Beliefs dont matter here, we're here to make an art.

actually they do, the first post states it's YOUR interpretation of how afterlife is or should be.

Personally, I would okay that

SACRILEGE

No seriously, you can believe in gnomes for all I care. It's just an art contest

 

[Ardenian]

Thanks for clarification

 

[Bernkastel]

Meh.

 

[PublishedShadow]

Last WIP's until after Mapping Madness is over...

 

[Paillan]

this is a wipwhatever

WIP plz

Explanation to your sure confusion: I don't believe in afterlife. When you die, you die. But what happens to you, that can I tell. You descompose and slowly become basic matter, and them get tear apart to all the existance, in other words, when you die, you stop existing as a human, but exists as matter in the universe. You are the closest to a god, you are everywhere and anywhere, you are just not you...

Now, disqualify me.

Hell is wayyy better and has a potential, drop the heaven idea because i am not seeing any good sides at it, so many stretched models/blurry textures and also it is very repetitive. ^^

Your Terrain is not made in UTM, that's why you will be Disqaulified, not your Theme.

 

[Paillan]

what? you must only use UTM? seriously?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Nope he will not be disqualified , you just misunderstood the rule.

Map may be based on the Ultimate Terraining Map 4.0

^^

Meh

Woah. This one seems to explode.

 

[Paillan]

this

may be based on the ultimate terraining map 4.0.

Still gona loose though.

 

[APproject]

Bernkastel is leading in my opinion, well done so far.

EDIT: Just wanted to ask. Is a very minor model editing allowed? For example, changing the material layer from None to Additive, just to add more light. It doesn't change the model much, just the layer of the texture, which is a really minor adjustment and everyone are able to achieve that, no need complex modeling skills.

 

[Edge45]

WiP 4

 

[Bernkastel]

I'll most likely ditch the crap on the door, didnt' look the way I wanted.

Figured the gates weren't big enough.

Wow, most interesting one so far. Besides, I love space.

Material filters and the likes should be okay

 

[Celaquil]

Smartest thing you ever said.

[Heinvers]

Why don't you all just skip the pleasantries and make some fine entries?

Yeah, I'm looking at you 2-P. Make the impossible possible and drop some high quality shit around.
I believe in you

Berny, you totally rule atm.

 

[Bernkastel]

*cough* I ruled, that is.

I had done a lot more work on this, and later yesterday I had realized that I had accidentally deleted the map while clearing useless trash of my disk, and well, there it went...
I was up all night trying to recover it, but I couldn't get it back the way that the file's condition would be usable.

I don't really have the motivation to do this all over again, so if I'll actually get an inspiration it will most likely be something else.


I could say that I'm a tad infuriated right now.

Aw, that's OK man.

Tell me: Is making a Building from Nothing for an Architect harder or Re-making a Building?

You CAN do it, and I'm Sure this time it'll be better.

You are quite right.

Maybe I will find the motivation, there's still a lot of time left either way.

 

[Celaquil]

Totally OK, this way he won't pose a threat for you in the contest

But seriously, what a damned shame Bern, that entry really looked promising.
I hope you can muster some mojo to move on and do something else.

 

[Arad MNK]

Logically correct, but still no.

I play fair Keiji, I'm not a....
Let's not talk about this.


@Bern: Motivation? Hehe, I tried my best to be be motivation

 

[Celaquil]

Cute.

Time to whip out a rough WIP, so I guess I'm officially in.
