Terraining Contest #20 - Water Structures

[RedLord]

.

 

[Heinvers]

That's fairly good. I'd consult this tutorial and this by @fladdermasken for the sky and the atmospheric effects if I were you since you're a beginner in scenic terraining ;]

 

[RedLord]

Oh? There is a tutorial for Sky? I see..

 

[Marjosh38]

Hmm... Interesting Contest

Just watching your WIPS, pretty great tho. Good luck to all.

4- add plants underwater.

I suggest you not to add it except if the water is not too shallow (i think shallow water dont have water plant) and/or clean.

 

[NightStalker]

Here's my first WIP, I've drawn out a few sketches and chose the one that seemed the best. I'm trying to follow the sketch but it's a bit hard to match everything up.

 

[Heinvers]

Guys, please just attach the images and don't use hidden tags. They stretch the page while browsing.

@Kristopher @NightStalker hidden tags removed. Just simply attach the pictures.

@NightStalker nice entry so far.

What about the rest of you guys? Care to participate? :]

dont worry, I am perfectionist, I add things only when I like how it looks.

thanks for all the work editing the contest entries list.

 

[Heinvers]

I shall volunteer as a judge if you need one later on.

Come on guys. Come along, don't be shy and flex some terrainer muscles ^_^

Thanks a lot! I do that hidden thing cuz i hate the very little loading time when i press the image haha, this way it doesn't keep me waiting but I'll just attach the images then

now thats impresive.

Thanks so much! I won't be able to depict the sketch completely cuz of my lack of WE terraining skills but I'll try to give something aesthetic

Shameless advertising but still on point for your water :]

Was that CloudFx and Omni Star?

And UberCloud (Model) can used a color RGB (xxx,xxx,xxx) ??

 

[Heinvers]

I tend to tint them to fit into the atmosphere.

 

[NightStalker]

Ohh, so it is clouds and fog objects/doodads right?

Wait till I finish the piece! You're gonna drop yo shiiii!! (Soundcloud rapper dropping fire track)

 

[RedLord]

-,- Didn't knew that one...

 

[Fang]

Will every light reflected in water like that?

 

[Neruvatar]

I seriously don't know what I'm doing. Still not completed

That's awesome

 

[Heinvers]

Hey Neruvatar. The theme of this contest is Water Structures not Underwater Structures :]

I hope you can address things in your entry given the contest theme.

 

[Deolrin]

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.

I specifically asked earlier if underwater structures are allowed, and the host said they are.

 

[NightStalker]

Are we allowed to create our own models and use them in our terrain?

 

[Heinvers]

I specifically asked earlier if underwater structures are allowed, and the host said they are.

I shall counsel with @Naze about current issue.

 

[NightStalker]

Another WIP! I'm gonna finish that huge castle, but now the walls seem inadequate of protecting them even though they are huge anyway. The whole city would be like a Dark Souls 3 city. I'll probably get the camera even further to fit everything inside. Open for feedback ^^

 

[Heinvers]

Sure @Ragnaros17 but as of know we have a minor conflict between what the Front page of the contest says and what we currently have going on.

He won't be disqualified, that's for sure but the way I'm seeing it he goes for a different theme than what we have around.

On the other hand, he could easily fix things to fit the theme by adding structures above water as well :]

PrinceYaser also is gonna follow that theme.

Terraining Contest #20 - Water Structures

if a minor conflict is, it shouldnt end in penalicing the users

the screen doesnt represent all the posibilities, thats the problem. by puting 1 screen , only to avoid copyrigths problems, the screen is having more power than the linguistic definitions.

"above the water" is not the theme, thats only the goblin oil plattform screen that I used to avoid copyrigths problems.,
water structures was ment as a very wide concept.
In Neruvatar entry there is nothing to fix.

 

[Heinvers]

11) but now I decided fully to modify the frontpage and state that is allowed. (because I wrote it and forbid underwater structures would be very unfair at this point of the contest).

It should be changed as this:

Contest rules should not be changed midcontest by host without Appointed Staff approval or Arena Moderator. It's not fair to change it on a whim because someone has stated something else in replies as opposed to the Contest Theme.

Don't be so sure of it. I can point multiple things about it :]

He should be happy if he gets constructive criticism on the other hand ^_^

must not, it is forbbiden

Frontpage text remains the same, I didnt changed it,

 

[The_Silent]

Nothing about the name "Water Structure" bars underwater structures. That would be an extremely strange interpretation of the words. To assume 'water' means only 'over'-water is a pretty wild leap, logically.

 

[Leods]

Well, everyone here has already overcome me, but I'm happy with what I have so far. After all, I already knew that I would not win.

@Heinvers can edit my contest entry list post, manage the wips as he already done these last days, then make the poll + results.

It means that the contest ends now?
In that case, I will definitely be the last one.

Oh man, whatever it is that makes you do that (surely something bad)
,i really bad. I know you can not answer me, but I hope you
I hope you are well, or, if not, that you will be better soon.
Whatever happens, things improve, and goodbye forever. Luck.

 

[RedLord]

Structure surrounded by Water.

Structure in Water.

Perhaps Underwater is accepted on this Water Structure Theme, we shouldn't interpret things harder.

 

[NightStalker]

I'm not sure what's going on but I'll continue with the contest.

I've seen a reply addressing my question earlier; "Are we allowed to create new 3d models to use in our terrain?" which said, it should be posted here on Hive and get approved.

Since getting the approval might take several days, I'll have to ask for a resource. I couldn't find a convincing gothic looking tower roof. Like a sharp upwards 3d triangle. Or like the tower roofs like in the image attached below.

Can anyone redirect me to any useful resource for that one?

-------------------------------------
EDIT: New WIP3 (view from here if the hidden tags mess your browser experience)

 

[Neruvatar]

I am truly sorry for causing such arguments/disputes between you all because in my opinion water structures are structures that operates with the need of water, like aqueducts, or even underwater pipelines. Mine is a Naga City that serves to purify the water from pollution using magic. The long lost project of Nazja'shuri:

Still a WIP though

 

[Heinvers]

Don't worry people, the contest is not over just because we have some arguments. Carry on with your works :]

 

[PrinceYaser]

Hm.. I suppose the status is clear. It's alright, I'll try to come up with a 'Water Structure' theme instead.

@Ragnaros17 Dunno what was the cause for the heart ache, but I hope you retrieve your health completely once again!

EDIT:
Come to think of it, I'll be going with a combination of the 'Underwater' and 'Abovewater' concepts.

 

[Fang]

My first wip... *sigh* I still have troubles with water lighting (u-__-)

 

[Neruvatar]

So that means underwater structure is no longer a water structure right? I'm on vacation, I have no access to my computer till I return on Sunday.

 

[RedLord]

Damn it, I'm reinstalling my Windows. Gonna catch up sooner.. Nice wips btw.

 

[Heinvers]

Contest runs 'till the 19th of June. It should be plenty of time to finish your entries and for new people to participate :]

Have a great day guys ^_*

What's happening with the underwater thing?

 

[Heinvers]

What's happening with the underwater thing?

Nothing. I cannot say no to it now since he got his entry acknowledged as valid. Previously I just raised the issue since it seemed rather strange at the time; usually in these contests we used to be very specific about Underwater and Water.

It shall remain as it is.

To clarify: underwater structures are valid in this contest.

Another WiP!
