>SuperCow those trees! flowers and bushes in winter? and end of the world=bad
>Mr.Goblin tats mega ubber cool! cant w8 for the infernal
>cool_is_i good idea but you could do better with the execution :/

 

[lnfernal]

Wohooo, Infernal!

 

[cool_is_i]

This is the No importing and construction contest. This is the No importing and construction contest.

ah, i see now, its the goblin shop that he used as the doodad.

the twisted ramp looked imported.

just_spectating is tiiighht

but cool_is_i , itz a good idea, but a bad execution. there's alot of things that appear to be flaws, for instance, like the towers on the edges of the pier, they seem to be floarting in midair, even though they arn't . and there isn't enough background to that pier. Make a shoreline, or some islands or something to make that ocean seem better. Changing the fog to would lessen the end of the world thing a bit, but i know that oceans do have a type of end of the world to them so...

ya, gud idea though... elaborate on it more. and it would pawn

Mr. Goblins is awsome. Actually looks like an ancient. It should replace the cruddy W33 ancients in the game

and childrec's airplane thing he had waz starting to look pretty awsome.. but i suppose, making the top of the aircraft is way easier than making the bottom..
it still pawned though

eDIT : by the way cool_is_i terrain has no imports

Gracias
any way, thanks, ill try to improve it then.

also:
i cant find a way to show the perspective.
the towers you were talking about, are they the huts? or orc towers?
because the huts are floating [attached to the shipyard, but wanted to show the goblin ingenuity

>SuperCow those trees! flowers and bushes in winter? and end of the world=bad

Well, might change the trees. was just testing a few kinds of trees

don't understand that with, end of the world=bad. What you mean? i am no super terrainer, i'm in this contest to test my skills.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

the "end of the world " is the place where the Z far clipping clips off the rest of the map from your camera view.

In most cases, its EXTREMLY ugly, and makes your terrain appear flat.
in some cases, for instance, a view of the ocean, it can be tolerated.

and cool_is_i , i mean the Orc watch towers, they seem like they are floating on the water and on that peir, but maybe, making the end of the piers a bit more expansive? or loading it with " piles of junk " and " piles of treasrure " or spikes, to help draw attention away from that.

but thats just me, im not sure if other people notice it.

 

[SuperCow]

how can i change the z far clipping to NOT look ugly?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

you can change the camera angle to something like 350 degrees to 5 degrees, and then make a thicker fog, and then put in a sky.

i think you should experiment with the envirnmental effects that the World editor provides, You are able to make good fog with these x and y combinations :

x = 0
y = 6000 - 12000
density = .6
color = 255 red, 255 green, 255 blue

and then you can add a sky, like the fogged sky would be good. but since your using a frozen kind of tileset, use blizzard sky, with a white fog.

and i really suggest changing the camera view.
you dont need to change the far clippping if you add hills, and change the camera view.

i use the this camera view often :

1)angle of attack = 358 ( or 0 )

2)far clipping = ( anywhere from 5000-10000 )

3)field of view = ( i use 20, but field of view is a bit hard to work with in order to look nice, try and experiment with this value)

4) distance = ( i usually use 600, but only for a field of view of 20. You may want 1000 or higher, but only if your using a 70 field of view.)


thiz stuff is hard to explain

 

[FamousPker49]

I have the basic construction done, I will have to add details to him, and I will build a city which he will be destroying. And the foreground is just quick spam. Lol.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

lol nice

 

[~Void~]

That kicks ass RunBa. Just hide the end of the map and put in some more details, and tint those barrels to like 10/10/10.

Famous, I would like the statue if its pose wasn't so static. It looks like a giant egyptian drawing in the middle of a forest. And those arches that look like they will be a city look like crap.

Here's a WIP of my actual entry. I haven't started constructing shit yet.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

an other wip.. i know i haven't worked alot on it .. its just to be shure my fore ground is good...

 

[~Void~]

Yes it would. : (

No it won't.

 

[Naze]

an other wip.. i know i haven't worked alot on it .. its just to be shure my fore ground is good...

At first glance it looks awesome, then some minor flaws can be found on it. Keep the good work!

@Famous: Holy shit Famous. You just did the same thing I was going to do. Now I'll have to change the idea a bit...

 

[~Void~]

Moar wipz:

I don't know what to add to this D:

 

[Sabertooth]

Void, you need to make more stuff like that.
But I don't know what to add, sorry.

 

[Just_Spectating]

man, im getting no time to work. soon enough ill try to get another Wip in.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

woow. Void's is the SHIT!

but Famouspker's iz so awsome. That monster is really epic.

im stuck.. and Mr.Goblins WIP of the Infernal is just...the best. i cant wait to see what the infernal is gonna be made of..

 

[cool_is_i]

humm,
what is a WIP?
and if it is what i think it is, then heres another WIP
Pls comment, could use some help, any suggestions?
any better any worse?
added a light house [coudent add light effect, because it wassent visible in the white fog :|] should i remove it?
also got rid of end or world

 

[~Void~]

Famous's terrain is awesome, he just needs to make everything else good too

 

[woxx]

Im not a very good at doing this sort of stuf, but it sounds fun. Im in!
I will probleby add my "construction" 21-22

 

[~Void~]

Hm this might be my final unless I decide to add moar.

 

[frostwhisper]

For a non-import terrain, I have to say that's pretty badass.

 

[cool_is_i]

Any comments on mine?

 

[~Void~]

It could use some work on the atmosphere and, well, everything :|

 

[cool_is_i]

ah well, my 1st terrain, i dont expect to win, or come ion third.
mmm
i dont know what to improve on, and how :|

 

[Naze]

Void, everyone knows that you suck at terraining, give up and kill yourself. =P

Well, I have to hurry on mine. Because I didn't touched it yet and time is running out! D:

 

[~Void~]

I await your epic creation.

 

[Gilles]

It could use some work on the atmosphere and, well, everything :|

I think less arches would be nice, too much arch abuse. That goes for a few terrains.

 

[~Void~]

There isn't much else to build with, really. Arches and columns.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

hum... not really.. you can do what ever you want.. you can use rocks.. wood... shrub.... doodads... haven,t you seen the other submission so far? like my Anciant protector.. or FamousSpeaker's scary face? like right now i'm making my infernal out of rocks.. and glacier.. and imolation attachment.. so ...

i think your totally wrong Void

 

[~Void~]

You can't build a fucking dalaran tower out of shrubs and rocks and have it look good -.-'

 

[Mr.Goblin]

lol well... i think its possible will give a try later ^^

 

[~Void~]

I think you are missing the point. I meant there isn't anything else to build with that goes with what i had already.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

oh..................my bad ><

XD

<3

 

[~Void~]

Hm, famous finish up faster.

 

[FamousPker49]

I will tomorrow most likely. I had homework today.

 

[Belgarath]

Gilles, since I fail at construction more than anyone, could I just be a judge with you? >_<

 

[Mr.Goblin]

ah dude don't quit.. i learned to rise doodads.. at the beginning of the competition only... so you just have to try ... D: cause than .. this competition wont be as epic at will be with

childeric, Void, /Naze, FamousSpeaker, raid100, you and all the Badass terrainers ...

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Sorry i havent been posting wips. Been busy with my 'Nightfall' project. I'll have my final submission in before the deadline though. =)

 

[varsaigen]

cool_is_i, a WIP means Work In Progress. And about your terrain, you need to remove the blinding amount of lamps you have. It almost becomes a blur and it distracts from the docks.

So many awesome terrains. It's a shame the ancient protector had to be cast away. It was beautifully done. I look forward to seeing the end resukts of all this. A lot of great things are coming from this. ^ ^

 

[Belgarath]

Goblin, I'm terrible at construction no matter what I try - it's "in my DNA". I'm an environmental terrainer, not a construction one, which is just something I never tried, liked or anything, maybe I'll do better in the next contest, if it's not construction. It's not like really like I'm giving up, just... different path

 

[Mr.Goblin]

"in my DNA".

XD

you just maked my day :3

and btw i don't have a wip of the infernal for now.. cause it's not as easy as the anciant protecter .. i like changed it 3 times for now.. and i'm aiming maybe for a second change and that's only the structure.. so no flames added yet..etc..

nice job everyone btw ^^

 

[Anachron]

Can anyone please tell me how I can rotate units down/upside like that stone guys??

 

[Gilles]

Gilles, since I fail at construction more than anyone, could I just be a judge with you? >_<

Don't turn into me.

Sure.

 

[Anachron]

Really early WIP

 

[Gilles]

Just upload it to the site.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yeah, for some reason I cannot get that one to load.

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, for some reason I cannot get that one to load.

Its attached to this post now =)

 

[frostwhisper]

That's.... chaotic.

 

[FamousPker49]

At least it's different...?
