Terraining Contest #2 - Mountains

[varsaigen]

Belgarath, I noticed the willows in the pic you uploaded. I can't find them. What is the name?

 

[Belgarath]

Environment, Tree: Willow 4-6 in the UTM.

 

[varsaigen]

ah. Thx Belgarath.
Edit: I am sorry to say, but it wan't there.

 

[Belgarath]

In the current UTM in the forum. Not in the older versions. Its way down at the bottom.

 

[varsaigen]

I didn't know there was any later versions. Hmmm. Do you have a link?
Edit: Ah. Thx. found the link. ^ ^

 

[Mechmap]

Since I didn't think there really was anything to add to my Volcano, I will submit my final. I change the fog a little and added more stalagnites.

This is my final!

 

[varsaigen]

Please use the edit button instead of double posting.

Dang. I'm sorry. I thought I had. Ok. I'll fix that.

Edit: Ok. done. I merged the two posts together. Thanks for catching that.

 

[Belgarath]

I'll post my map and final screenshot today after school.

 

[Megafyr]

Is it to late to join?

anyways here is my screen shot..

 

[Just_Spectating]

things just got harder...

 

[Volvox]

megafyr, i think you need to work on your relation with the word mountain because those are hills, not even close to mountains. Aside from that, the idea is very nice, but you do need some real mountains in the background.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i guess this will be my final submission, unless i can improve.

 

[Gilles]

anyways here is my screen shot..

Is that you final? There's a lot of time left. Not sure why people are finishing so early! There's almost a month left.

As well you have to submit the map. Read the rules.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well this might be my final version, but I might do changes after 2 weeks or so when I have more time

 

[varsaigen]

a month left? God, it feels like its almost over... I still need to put up my WIP. I'll try to get it in quickly with what little time I have.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Gilles, im under the impression that once you've posted your 'Final Submission' that it's there to stay. You can't go back and change it later. Right? xD

 

[Gilles]

Of course you can change it! Why wouldn't you be able to?

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Well... say I submit my entry.... Then a week later, someone else submits something that's wtfpwn. Then I decide to try and make something better in order to beat that. I dunno that just seems silly.

ANYWAYS. Another wip of another concept of another mother. v_v

Dunno whether to use this, the dark one, or just keep making stuff...

 

[Just_Spectating]

i feel i have no chance at this lol

 

[Gilles]

I quite like that. The foreground could use work, but the mountains look amazing!

 

[frostwhisper]

Shit, I'm failing again...

 

[Belgarath]

Probably last submission.

 

[Mechmap]

We're all failing frost, childerics new owns. Belgaraths too btw.

 

[Equal]

Childeric, GJ but pls do somthing with those trees, down right coner of the picture, they hover in the water oO.

 

[Megafyr]

yeah, you're right.. I've got to edit it^^

It wasn't suposed to be my final screenshot:S I just posted it in a hurry..

When I look into the warcraft III map folder to upload a map on hive only the blizzard-default maps shows up, and not the one I've created. I use vista, but I don't know if that's the reason.. I think it might be some administrator shit, has someone experienced this before?

 

[Hawkwing]

I'm still trying to find a good idea. =(

I use vista and it works fine for me!

Also, those are great WIPs. WHY CAN"T I GET ANYTHING TO WORK WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Grrr. For some reason I cant get the same angle i had...

Is there anyway to move the camera vertically? Straight up and down.

 

[HappyTauren]

yes, go to cameras, then create camera object. Now modify it, and find something like "zOffset" and modify it. Then double click that camera right there.

 

[Volvox]

I also use vista and it never caused troubles(probably because i am the admin) but when that happens, there are 2 possibilities. Either vista blocked the file while you tried to save it(so it wasn't saved) or the file was redirected to another folder. Either way, i wish you good luck with that one.

 

[~Void~]

Good thing Madsen isn't in this contest to ruin all! ^^

Heh I think I might actually have a shot at beating him this time, if he does join, depending on my outcome. It's looking really good so far

 

[Mechmap]

Then post some wips of it Void!

 

[~Void~]

I will finish putting trees on it and then I'll show a WIP.

 

[frostwhisper]

It's not MadseN you should worry about, V.
>

 

[~Void~]

That sounds like a challenge! I haven't seen yours yet frostwhisper!
Well to hell with putting trees on it. I'll do that later.

WIP: (the sky needs to change!)

 

[frostwhisper]

I've already submitted mine, Void
Check a couple of pages back.

 

[Belgarath]

Does that even pass as mountains? It looks more like hill-land. Unless there's going to be a mountain in the back. Anyone have any good feedback for mine? And void, the tiles are nice, but the sky and the fog don't match, you're gonna have trouble getting the foggy sky to go back into its peachy colour.

 

[~Void~]

No I'm not. I'll just use sky doodads.

And there already are mountains in the back? I'm going to work on those though. I'm going to extend the background fog so you can see more and make some stuff in the back. I might remove most of the fog entirely and just do it all with doodads.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Thanks HT. That helps alot.

 

[varsaigen]

Ok. here is my first WIP. Can you guess what it is? It's Pompei! On Volcano Day! (night)

 

[Gilles]

Go to save-as and look where your saving it to.

An even better way is to use the ctrl-right click-N-drag. No need to use cameras, although cameras are nice to save angels.

 

[varsaigen]

I know I have a lot more to improve. I couldn't figure out how to get the ash falling from the sky. And I plan to add some fog and maybe better buildings. So, please feel free to critique. This wan't my best attempt so far as I don't have enough time to do it in one shot. So, FIRE AWAY!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I might participate to the competiton.. but i hate imported models.. cause with imported models.. everyone can make something look awsome.. so i will do my best .. without any imported models.. I might loose.. but at least i will show that the model in warcraft is enough...

 

[varsaigen]

HA! I figured you might join! Good luck!

 

[Dakho]

Is it too late to join? If not, I'd like to join.

 

[varsaigen]

its not too late
you just have to upload your final submission in the end. good luck!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Lookin good everyone, cant wait to vote for this one!

 

[Just_Spectating]

im thinkin of maybe doin a different concept for mine.

 

[varsaigen]

I am still waiting for what can be improved on my WIP. So please critique it. PLEASE!
