Terraining Contest #2 - Mountains

[hellblazer-14]

Thank you varsaigen

 

[varsaigen]

No problem. Glad to help.

 

[redscores]

What do you think about my ice mountain?

 

[hellblazer-14]

its good, a I said, but I think it might be lacking a few doodads, or maybe a wc3 unit? Hope this helps.

What do you think of mine?

 

[robot-dude]

here's mine

Snowy Watch Tower

within a Mountain Lake.

 

[redscores]

good so far hellblazer, and wc3 units got bad graphics. so it wouldnt match really.

 

[hellblazer-14]

OK, Thank you Redscores. Meh the wc3 units was just a bad idea xD disregard anything else i advise....

 

[varsaigen]

robot-dude, howd you get it to be a gif image? its awesome

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Ok I give up soon.. I was finishing a new terrain for this competition and WEU crashes! >_>

 

[NearbyHermit]

Ok I give up soon.. I was finishing a new terrain for this competition and WEU crashes! >_>

Wait a minute,are you resigning from this Contest?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Maybe, cause my current entry fails compared to others and my WEU keeps fucking at me >_>
(Hurts to loose 5h from life and the work I did the whole time)

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wait a minute,you cant resign like that,what are you proving us?
Take another look at that terrain ,you can beat it easily.X.e.r.e.X have some faith in your skills and you may even win.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I'm proving that I'm emo (I hate emos) and a little faith in skill isn't enough (So cruel)

 

[robot-dude]

I've Updated my work

 

[~Void~]

I wonder the same thing! : (

I can talk to Admin, but they never seemed to think terraining deserved it. It seems to be treated as a lower contest.

I want a bloody icon for the contest. It pisses me off that people get it for concept art contests, which aren't even related to WC3, but not for this.

 

[Sabertooth]

I think when Pyr asked for one for gloomy he was confirming that it'd be implemented.
But I could be wrong.

 

[varsaigen]

No, Pyritie said he'd try to get an icon for both this and the last Terrain competitions. Hopfully, he can get it to work and become a standard idea for the future terrain contests. Good luck Pyritie!

 

[Gilles]

here's mine

Snowy Watch Tower

within a Mountain Lake.

Not sure that you can submit Giffs. What do you guys think? If no one cares, I'll allow it.

 

[Sabertooth]

If you're capable of it shure.

 

[varsaigen]

yeah... but doesn't it kinda sefeat the fairness of this? I don't know how to make it a gif. image. Also, it'd make it so one could show a period of time instead of a moment in time like everyone else. Although I have to admit it's cool.

 

[Just_Spectating]

well i dont think it minds. Just as long as you dont judge it better for it.

 

[robot-dude]

The reason i did it as a .gif to give it more of a better effect then a still picture

 

[Just_Spectating]

i dont think that should make it better. or that would be unfair for people who cant make Gif.

 

[Gilles]

The reason i did it as a .gif to give it more of a better effect then a still picture

Obviously, but in judging you won't get any help. I'd freeze it and look at a random spot in the gif.

 

[Belgarath]

Robot, what we're trying to do is make a picture, not an animation. Get the difference? What you're doing is basically getting wc3, recording ingame and then putting it as an image. GIF = bad, basically.

 

[Just_Spectating]

His Gif. is like a tiny cinematic.

 

[Pyritie]

I want a bloody icon for the contest. It pisses me off that people get it for concept art contests, which aren't even related to WC3, but not for this.

Actually, the concept art ones aren't planned to get any award icons either.

Strange though how the youtube one IS. I don't get it either.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,I think that this icon issue is the responsability of the person who started the Contest.

 

[hellblazer-14]

OK added terrain fog and a little more detail...

 

[varsaigen]

hellblazer, thats great, but I think you need to angle it a bit more to be able to see the mountain (theme: mountains)

 

[hellblazer-14]

Hmmmm... I will give it a go Thanks for the suggestion. I finally learned how to make good quality screenshots !!!

 

[NearbyHermit]

The Contest is going well,my terrain is almost finished,may the best Naaru win!

 

[varsaigen]

lol Nearby Hermit. XD No problem Hellblazer. And yes Nearby Hermit, may the best Naaru win!

 

[Huurka]

The Contest is going well,my terrain is almost finished,may the best Naaru win!

Your avatar is not a naaru.

 

[varsaigen]

Huurka, Its what ever he wants to call it.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Unbroken's are the ancestors of Naaru,actually it is a long tale,how the Lost Ones Evolved into Naaru and then De-evolved back into the Unbroken ; this starting a war between all three classes,that belong to the same specie,Draenei.

I love Naaru's ,but the Unbroken are the same.

Ok,now excuse for the off-topic notes

 

[hellblazer-14]

Hey again guys

Updated my terrain with a "midnight" version, which I personally like a lot more. Can you give me some feedback for it?
Cheers!

 

[~Void~]

I think it's ugly. The moon looks like an alien spaceship abducting those poor little trees there and casting some nuclear radiation into the lake to make it all blue and fugly, while some dumbfuck from the short bus dumped neon lights into the water near that little strip. WTF EH?!9

The other one was better...

Teh fix.

 

[Volvox]

You should work on the reflection. A lot.

 

[varsaigen]

Its great how you did the stars (which need to be dimmed) and the moon, but the reflection needs to look more like the moon. Perhaps add kindof a wavy pattern on the water by having them placed back and forth in a zig zag pattern in the water. That ought to gve it the appearance of the moon's reflection.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

I'll be submitting mine thursday or friday most likely. I think you guys will like. =)

 

[varsaigen]

I still have a few things to finish on mine.
Edit: I found out that I have been to Pompei. Nce place, if you like ruins. I plan to make it as accurate as possible now.

 

[Belgarath]

New concept ... not sure which one to keep. Although I might be starting on another one, which has good elements combined

 

[hellblazer-14]

~Void~, Its my first terrain ever, and I've never done a night type theme before... I just used the doodads as well as I could...

Could you please tell me why exactly its ugly? I mean, the moon looking like it wants to abduct the trees doesn't really help me a lot. Also, What would I do to make the reflection different? I have darkened the water a bit to fit more with the "night", but after that I don't know how I can improve it.

 

[Huurka]

Ok,now excuse for the off-topic notes

I'm sorry, but that is completely wrong, check http://www.wowwiki.com/Naaru#History I think the "naruu" you are referring at is the Draenei.

On-topic.

UTM doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

 

[varsaigen]

The UTM works for me. Maybe you managed to corrupt it? I advise having your ddodads a;ready plaaced in a folder where you can store them for easy importing.

OFF-TOPIC: the naaru are not even related to the dranei or the eredar.The Dranei used to be called eredar and the naaru were supposedly born at creation.

 

[FamousPker49]

New concept for me. Early W.I.P. Still alot of tweaking to do with environment and fog and stuff. Supposed to be land pirates. Stealing a mountain. Lul. Crits pls. Also need to add chains or something connecting the boats.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Island in the sky 2008,wonderful Pker49

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Nice job FamousPker49. but there isn't mountain there right?
That flying piece of rock ain't mountain to me at least :O

 

[NearbyHermit]

If you dont raise the picture,it looks pretty mountain,but I agree with XereX it isnt any mountain
