Terraining Contest #20 - Water Structures

[RedLord]

Anyway, I don't know if this one fits on "Water Structure" and my Terraining skills got so bad, been awhile since I used my laptop.

shure, as long as is in the water. A castle in the water, I would never imagined that.

 

[Fang]

Horizon line... Didn't know about that thx Nightstalker

Btw thx Naze for the info.

 

[Leods]

and my Terraining skills got so bad, been awhile since I used my laptop.

Are you kidding me? This is beatiful, much better than mine, and that's just your first wip.
Edit: I noticed that everyone uses something, called "game view settings" that changes the lighting, and other things. I have activated it other times without wanting to, but I never knew how to do it or what it does. Would anyone be so kind to explain me ?. Also, I will ask for another explanation. How do they make WE tools disappear that way?

v botton of the key board, if you defined sky it will show, also no violet squares of many doodads + fog

WE tools disappear that way?

eeeh what??

wich tool?? this??

 

[Fang]

To make the tool palette disappear press "A"

To make the other tools disappear (like the model viewer, the map on the left screen, etc) just crop the picture.

 

[Leods]

Thanks you

For the game view settings, i'd recommend just using fog and lighting. and day time was it? For sky, you should use custom models which are far better than vanilla skies.

also no violet squares of many doodads

You can disable the helpers with 'I'

I'm confused. The message is mine, but about the RedLord's terrain, so who is that advice for? We are both currently using the Blizz sky, without fog (I was planning to add that at the end).

I used the Lordaeron Sky (Purple), probably the advice is for you.

Press "V" button.

 

[Leods]

I used the winter Lordaeron Sky.
This is the new camera:

I am using fogged sky,

so maybe a ship

 

[Fang]

Ragnaros17's sky looks great!

Wait, is that a tool palette at bottom right on your screenshot? You can hide it by pressing A
^^

mehehe , thats me being layzy, and to make it fun, remember the ship?, no more ship, it was very unreall in the shallow water and not the theme, as stuck in land, but I like the water turrets

 

[Leods]

Can someone recommend me a good space sky? I'm currently using a normal sky, with clouds, but Europe has no atmosphere, so it's not something I can maintain.

wow, looks great!! but orcas / assassin wales in a jupiter moon??

 

[Leods]

but orcas / assassin wales in a jupiter moon??

Haha, i know, but I do not know what marine extraterrestrial animal to replace them with, and I need large animal life, so in a desperate attempt, I dye it blue and double its size.

a naga fits more maybe??

 

[Leods]

A naga... Good idea!. But unless there are models of naga without weapons or armor, it will be evident that we are facing a highly intelligent life, and that contradicts the argument, since, if the human found intelligent life in Europe, he would destroy or enslave it, instead of leaving it there.
Maybe a giant murloc, or a giant of the sea (I don't remember the name of this creep, hope you understand me).

I was thinking in the snap dragon.

 

[RedLord]

Updating my crap.

 

[Neruvatar]

hmmm seeing everyone starting to post is stressful. I have yet to have any ideas

 

[Fang]

I just realized that this contest have no judges yet

 

[Leods]

I was thinking in the snap dragon.

It may work, thanks.

I just realized that this contest have no judges yet

It's true, but we aren't bad. This is the third day, of 34 days.

 

[Leods]

I added more human influence, more details, and a sun. I changed the whales model to a modified snap dragon, as Ragnaros17 recommended.

WIP 4

WIP 4

I think I am regreting my recomendation since it looks more like some kind of water algae more than a creature, well perhaps some cool model of the hive can work better... as recomendation ( I am very glad with the ships , air planes models in my entry so far).


star wars trade federation main control ship from star wars episode 1 phantom menace, great one

working far background.

 

[Leods]

Woah, the background is really beautiful, fits very good with the fog.

star wars trade federation main control ship from star wars episode 1 phantom menace, great one

Space theme is space theme. It works.
I changed the water creatures.Yes, i know this is a flying unit, but it looks fine in water, like fin wings running

 

[RedLord]

Is this better than the previous one? because I'm changing it.

 

[Fang]

nice ^^

 

[Kristopher]

What about insert contest to upper menu?

 

[WolfFarkas]

Is this better than the previous one? because I'm changing it.

oh you are changing the castle in the water??, well is good to be open to changes, I did added many things only to remove them later.
but I feel is my duty to warn you tha the ship may not count as water structure (in the poll there was a ships/docks theme to vote).

water structures, by definition a structure is something pretty much fixed to the ground. I hope you can add some kind of docks or even a cheap wooden tower in the water should fit the theme. (hope to help)

looks nice , good luck

What about insert contest to upper menu?

yeah, good point, I cant do it, only can request it to be put (done the request).

 

[RedLord]

Alright, I'll create another one.

I didn't know that you created a poll.

 

[WolfFarkas]

yup, Terraining Contest #20 - Theme Poll

and try to avoid double posting, use the edit botton, site rules, just in case.

 

[Heinvers]

Notice has been added folks.

 

[Trill]

Hm, I'm not sure I've got technical know-how to pull off my idea and I hardly have time, but I gotta push myself to be better.
Sign me up, I'll do my best but no promises =)

 

[Leods]

Don't worry, the noobie of Leods will make you not look bad (in comparison, and at all, I am horrible).

you are not a newby

welcome aboard,added to the list, have fun mapping, I recomend you to use the ultimate terraining map 4.0 that is linked in the frontpage.

 

[Fang]

Welcome & Good luck Trill

Ohhh ... You'll make me blush ... (joke)
Returning to seriousness. Of course I'm flattered, but ... do you really think that wall of destroyed ice looks like a wall of destroyed ice? That the sky looks like it would be on Jupiter's moon? Or that that structure is realistic? Or that my water management is enough to (if this were possible) not be pre-eliminated for uselessness in the contest? No. I'm definitely a newbie. Well, I'll count down, and keep calm.

I already think your entry is a nice one, and that can beat mine.
The concept you want to show is very clear.

"do you really think that wall of destroyed ice looks like a wall of destroyed ice?"

yes

"That the sky looks like it would be on Jupiter's moon?"

yes

"Or that that structure is realistic?"

spacecraft theme, yes

"Or that my water management is enough"

yes, nice water manage


"to (if this were possible) not be pre-eliminated for uselessness in the contest?"

you are very usefull to this contest, (sometimes you have to beg users to join your contest)

You clearly have skill,

I would consider the water creature concept, maybe change the angle or something,
sometimes something requires times and test to work (my first ship was crap)


I think this contest is 50% skill and 50% time invest,

 

[Leods]

I already think your entry is a nice one, and that can beat mine.

The situation is obvious. We both underestimate ourselves, so we will never agree (I think yours is better, and vice versa) So this is something useless

"Or that my water management is enough"

yes, nice water manage

even if I agreed with the rest (which I'm not, but, as I said, we will not get anywhere) I definitely have to refute this. Literally the only thing I did was locate the water level, add some random marine life, and ... And just that. Besides, as you mentioned, that great obstacle of the mythological creature.

You clearly have skill,

With just 6 days of practice? There's no any art that can be learned in just one week.

Closing all, you are clearly better than I. Your managing of the sky and background is very realistic, much more than mine. But we will never agree. About the 50% 50%, obviously, like in all the art, just because so much of one can umbalance all.

 

[Deolrin]

This is a really cool theme. I'm interested in seeing what y'all come up with. WIPs are looking great so far.

I'm curious, are fully underwater structures \ scenes allowed?

good question, since by definition the structure must be in the water, but from that there is all freedom

a structure under water is a water structure, so is allowed,
(the frontpage says it can be in the sea)

now is hard to pull a pure underwater enviroment, it would be interesting if someone does such bold attempt.

by the way are you interested in participate??

Your managing of the sky and background is very realistic

sky was just fogged sky, gray fog, and 1 cloud doodads with 50 rpg of the 3 colors (to reduce shinying), that wasnt to much work.

background, I just improvised with the naboo buildings, change the size a bit, if you see all my 10 wips you will see I improvise all the time (is not that I know what I am doing all the time), put something, remove it, put other thing,

Hey guys. I noticed that some of you are using hidden tags to show your works. While it is great showing what you're working on, please do consider using the /Upload a File(without using the hidden tags) feature of the site instead of using the hidden tags. They stretch the page way too much while browsing around.

Thank you and keep doing the magical stuff around :]

 

[PrinceYaser]

I'll be going with an underwater terrain. I'll post some WIPs in my free time not soon tho.

Good luck ya'll!
