Terraining Contest #5 - Winter Wonderland [Playable]

[raid1000]

im not copying nothing from ur map i just like the design and want to replicate it in my own way D:

 

[Oziris]

Yea, yea....I trust you not copying nothing from my map or do i? You can copy everything from my map even the name of it and the name of the author ))))

 

[Celaquil]

Oh yeah I'm in.

And yes, everyone BETTER shiver!

Cause my terrain is COLD xD

 

[Slaydon]

Raid1000, i "sold" some of my Sea Weed and the Grass there But any1 liked my Terraining?

 

[~Void~]

Holy shit it's a volcano, don't fall in! :O

 

[Oziris]

That's not winter you, you, you bad boy. That's some lava or something, at the north. Very intelligent of you!

 

[Phoonix]

LoL its a winter theme and still you manage to make it hot...
Looking good void hope the rest will look even better ^^

 

[raid1000]

@~Void~ that doesnt show much of teh "cool" stuff

 

[~Void~]

Dude, what happens to a volcano when winter comes around, it just disappears? Naww...

And raid, I told you I wasn't going to show the awesome stuff

 

[Oziris]

The snow covers it! yes.....

 

[~Void~]

The snow covers the lava? That doesn't make sense... >.>

 

[Oziris]

The lava becomes ice when it's a week or two in the cold north.

 

[raid1000]

thats not really true..
"active" lava cant freeze

 

[Oziris]

Well, mybe unactive lava can freeze? Void, is it active or unactive?

 

[Volvox]

Active lava "freezes" into stone -.- Inactive lava IS stone.

 

[Oziris]

' can we stop with this lava thing? It's kinda lame.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Is Void the only one who has progress or?

 

[Naze]

The other ones already uploaded their maps, I believe.

 

[Oziris]

I have uploaded my map.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Oh damn, I'm kinda off. Good luck then to the contestants, I will vote in the pub poll for sure.

 

[Belgarath]

Void, you're using triggers for the lighting aren't you... (as in, you have the weird dark shroud w/e) you can see how the horse's ass is all black and the guy's back is lighted up. And that the ground is dark. And all sorts of other clues... They won't be rated :O
Unless you're not using them which I'll never believe :\

 

[~Void~]

I am using the SetDayNightModels("","") thing, but if anyone has a problem with that I know another way of doing it.

It doesn't say it's not allowed, it just says that you won't be judged on how good your triggers are.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

woww. that fog effect is preety cool and awsome.

i suggest making the fog thinker though, because the lava looks really fake when you look at it in that screenie. making the fog thicker and a tad redder would give the effect that there is fire down in the depths...and perhaps lava plumes? Using the firey crater model might create a good fire pluming effect.

So far tvoids terrain is the best... ozirius, are you going to post screenshots?

 

[~Void~]

I may just do that. I'll have to grab more models from the UTM first.

 

[Hawkwing]

Here is my map, some pathing blockers aren't finished. Type cam to get a better view. Click v on your keyboard to remove the pathing blockers to see the terrain clearly. Do i have to post screen shots?

Very nice, but some of the ice sheets are poorly placed, and scaled, and overlap each other.

Holy shit it's a volcano, don't fall in! :O

Nicely done. I want to see more.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

why nobody comments on my terrain D:?!

 

[thedeathunterxx]

goblin, put up screenshots !!!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

already did, and i also posted my map 2 times D:

 

[~Void~]

its messy but sweet looking.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

its messy but sweet looking.

why messy , i want to work on it before the dead line D:

 

[~Void~]

I dunno, it just seems like it has a lot of rough edges...

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well my map is in a valley... why theres rock everywhere... so meeh.. anyway when is the contest ending tought?

 

[~Void~]

Saturday I think.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i think what void meant by messy is the fact that :

1) there are some doodads, scaled to enourmous heights. I saw a northrend rock in there that was humoungous...the texture didn't help it much.

2) to many pointed rocks make it seem a bit strange. Perhaps, using hills would add the smoothness that this map your map needs,

Other than that, the fog placement was nice, made the sky look cool, and the envirnment is very detailed. One last suggestion would be to add a 3rd person camera.
If you need the triggers, ill gladly make you one tonight, and ill show you how to implement them in ur map ( i have a good RPG camera.)

 

[Mr.Goblin]

maybe later, like tomorow, but i still have some homework to do, so will see... thanks alot deaththunderxx ..for the offer

 

[thedeathunterxx]

dont wry bout it.

its some siple GUI. only 2 triggers... maybe 10 commands of GUI

 

[Gilles]

My computer is really fucked up right now. It's taken me 5 minutes to navigate to this thread, that's how slow it is, so until I get it back on it's feet, the contest continues. I should have it wiped and re-loaded by Monday.

 

[Belgarath]

That really sucks...

Void, I was just double checking - I wasn't 100% sure. Nice idea, btw, it never worked for me for some reason >_>.

 

[raid1000]

updated
final

 

[Oziris]

Where is the map?

 

[raid1000]

page 13

 

[Slaydon]

Raid, epic!!!!!!

 

[Nbah]

Can we possibly use a First Person Camera? It makes things so dynamic and lively?

 

[Kwah]

Yes you can.

 

[Belgarath]

It won't be judged so I think you might as well not bother.

 

[raid1000]

It won't be judged so I think you might as well not bother.

Yes but the judging is done 50% by the people of hive so some ppl will just vote u just for that

 

[Oziris]

True, true...that sucks >_>

 

[Naze]

I'm in! \o/

I got home earlier then I expected (I was travelling, so no terraining), and I am working as fast as I can in my entry.

 

[~Void~]

Uh oh. Competition... Naze is good at winter terrains and I'm... not

This will be interesting.

 

[Naze]

Come on Void, you are using the SetDayNightModels("","") thing, and even though I love winter, it'll be hard to beat you with that atmosphere trick...

Yes, it will be interesting.
