Terraining Contest #2 - Mountains

[HappyTauren]

Nah I will probably not win. I am too lazy to, I worked few hours on this unhandy piece of shit and I feel it is enough, I will just fix it up abit, upload it and put a pretty screen with AA <3, lights and calculated shadows.

 

[Gilles]

You noob HT. You left the info boxes for the fire on!

 

[HappyTauren]

omg PWNT D:

 

[Just_Spectating]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL the MIGHTY HAS FALLEN!

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Now HT got his moral crushed and he goes to emo mode! We have chance of winning WOHOO!

 

[varsaigen]

lol. yeah. that must be devastating HT. XD Although its not much of a gain. It gives me a better chance of winnign though.

 

[HappyTauren]

No it doesn't
Here is my official submisson, map file attached, as well as image.

PWNT.

 

[varsaigen]

ya. um, i see problems. But as my competition, I shouldn't help you. Oh well. Good luck. XD

 

[HappyTauren]

Yeah, you see a rectangle lava, you see purple checkboxes, I just read your mind, thank you.

 

[varsaigen]

nope, it was open ended. That and it was stated before.

 

[Gilles]

HT, how did you make that lava in the background?

 

[HappyTauren]

It is pretty simple, heavy dungon fog (red) then affected by REAL fog, gets coloured like that. It is a trick I've tried out long time ago.

 

[varsaigen]

nice. I should try that some time.

 

[Dakho]

Well I guess I'll put in my final submission now...

 

[varsaigen]

I am strting to doubt my chances of winning. I see nice clear terrains while mine is crowded. And yet, if I start over, I won't have a very good "open view" terrain. Those are very nice. Congrats!

Hawkwing's Final Submission [June 01, 2008. Terrain Contest #2]

Well, here is my final submission. I added some details into the volcano and the "shrine". Hopefully I wont come in last now,

Good luck to my competitors. May the best terrainer, *cough* HT *cough*, win.

 

[frostwhisper]

Reserve the coughs, kid. This thing's far from over.

 

[Hawkwing]

Well you gotta admit. His little "floating citadel" is pretty epic.

 

[frostwhisper]

True. But still needs a lot of work.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Yeah frost is right. HT's looks great at first glance, but this is still anyone's contest. Don't give up peeps!

 

[varsaigen]

Yeah, but to improve it requires us to know what to improve. And some of us don't know what else to improve. So that's where people tell us what needs improving.

Edit: What I have here is my version 11 of my submission. Please tell me what I need to improve.

 

[vnakira]

HappyTauren, please leaves us a chance ><

 

[FamousPker49]

Versaigen, sometimes the terrain idea that is chosen, is improved to the max of what it will be with what is available. Sometimes, to create a better terrain you may just need to start over.
And HT, psh that's lame!

 

[HermanTheGibbon]

Whoot! Seeing a lot of bootiful terrains dudes, keep up the good work I was going to enter this actually, but I could'nt come up with a good idea. That and the fact that I couldn't really be arsed as I am too lazy Probably a good job I didn't seeing as none of my ideas would've stood up in the running with some of these

Gilles, if you are in dire need of help with the judging I'll give you a hand if you like

 

[Megafyr]

wip wip wip

dropped the statue because the image became to messy with it, I think It's better now.

 

[Mechmap]

What up with the water megafyr? Also you can see a line in the sky and it looked better with the other fog so you couldnt see the background quite clear.

Also, anyone knows what happened to rulerofiron? He said he would enter, I was looking forward to his terrain.

 

[FamousPker49]

Megafyr, I like the idea of the shimmering water, except the few glow doodads, which I believe is what you are using, in the front delve into the ground, and you can see that they are then no longer circular. Otherwise I like that Idea.

 

[Gilles]

Gilles, if you are in dire need of help with the judging I'll give you a hand if you like

Alright, if I do get others to help, you'll be one. I may just do it myself, although that seems a bit biased and won't give as good results, I think I'd be a pretty fair judge. Also it's easier.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

That's awesome Megafyr. The lighting effect really sets a good mood. Id add some vegetation to the hills or something. Other than that, excellent work!

 

[varsaigen]

good luck with the judging then.

 

[HermanTheGibbon]

Oaky Doak just throw me a PM or whatever if you do want some input. When will the actual judging take place just out of curiosity

 

[Gilles]

July. I may speed it up, we have so many entries. First time a judge has had to end a contest early!

 

[varsaigen]

what? ending it early? What do you mean? Are you ending it early?

 

[Gilles]

what? ending it early? What do you mean? Are you ending it early?

Don't worry, only if everyone gets theirs in.

 

[varsaigen]

ah. ok. Do you have a due date set up?

 

[Gilles]

The contest shall begin on May, 17 2008 and conclude on July, 17 2008 0:00 AM, GMT

Try the first post with all the information!

 

[varsaigen]

k thx
<blank space>

 

[Nbah]

Ah, I totally forgot about this. I gotta start working on my terrain.

 

[varsaigen]

HAHAHAHAHAHA......
Wow. really? XD
Better hurry. XP

 

[frostwhisper]

2 months period for a terrain contest is completely absurd. Two weeks, at maximum, should be the contest span.

 

[vnakira]

Agree, 2 months is too long..maybe at the end some competitors would have already forgotten about this contest, lol

 

[varsaigen]

2 months?!?!?!?! That is way too long. Maybe someof my competition will get bored and move on.

 

[frostwhisper]

Gilles, I suggest you cut it down to the 10th of June. Max.

 

[Megafyr]

here's my final! added some trees and an extra mountain

( I had to remove alot of models from the utm map to make its size under 5mb)

 

[frostwhisper]

Dude... the UTM itself is 4 Mb.

 

[Megafyr]

check out all the lighting doodads I've spammed on the water xD

 

[frostwhisper]

Oh... oh that. Right... point taken.

 

[FamousPker49]

I'm still not sure how the spamming would affect map size...
EDIT: Update on terrain.
Crits pls.

 

[Gilles]

Shit. I meant to put June not July, I mix the two a lot. If you look at the amount of days, it was supposed to be 31. I apologize.

 

[varsaigen]

FamousPker49, you cant see the city...
