Oh sweet, next im gonna do Moses spliting the red sea!^^

~Void~ · Mar 24, 2009

Shit, that was my idea. I won't be doing that anyway, though, because WC3 waterfall doodads are shit

here is a wip of my hanging gardens of babylon terrain
i want to make a sunrise in the back and other things

Nice terrain raid, although it could use some fog and lighting (I'm sure you plan on adding them anyways).

Am I the only one who thinks it's ridiculous that you receive just as much reputation for making a terrain than if you had made an entire map? 40 reputation seems high for something like this.

That's how much you get for making a skin, spell, model or even a drawing, so I don't see why not.

Just_Spectating · Mar 24, 2009

i still got alot of time right?

~Void~ · Mar 24, 2009

Until april 17th, so yeah you do.

Linaze · Mar 24, 2009

Quite late comment, but that terrain looks awesome Raid.

HFR · Mar 25, 2009

HFR's WIP

Well, here's my WIP, but I think it's still bad, so I can change the camera angle and terrain eventualy.

Acvong · Mar 25, 2009

omgosh never saw this till now im in

communist_orc · Mar 25, 2009

I was joking back

CombatTheWombat · Mar 25, 2009

I have never made a terrain before. I might try to do one.

Yeah, that's what's wrong. Developing a map takes significantly longer than any of those.

~Void~ · Mar 26, 2009

True, but the campaign contest gave 60, didn't it? That's a start.

Linaze · Mar 26, 2009

It's the art contests that gives to much rep imo, not the map contests that gives to little. I mean, it would be a bit ridiculous if you were awarded like 80 rep for a mapping contest just to balance it, since generally, a map takes longer time to do than a skin or a model.

Kwah · Mar 26, 2009

Breaking any one of these rules will result in DISQUALIFICATION and RAPE.

Anyway, I'm in. Just noticed this.

Deathcom3s · Mar 26, 2009

I have made so little progress that it's not even worth it to post a WIP, lol.

Vincent · Mar 26, 2009

I would like to join, this contest seems fun

Edit: oh yeah, i was wondering if its possible to place custom models into the map....?

edit again: do i have to post a screen shot or the entire map?

ArcticInferno · Mar 26, 2009

Screenshot I believe, and you can only use contest-sanctioned models and the UTM.

Oziris · Mar 26, 2009

Here is my second WIP!!!
I like the sunset my self. Is the orange fog better or the blue one? i cant really tell.

D a w n · Mar 26, 2009

orange looks much "happier"/better

HFR · Mar 26, 2009

I made an Jesus walking on the lake too... But I sucks at making roman things, I'll make an norse, maybe Yggdrasil...

Wolfhelm · Mar 26, 2009

Oziris, that hill to the right is looks wierd cuz you got all these lil pine trees and then this 1 huge giant elv tree. Scale that thing down some and scale up your pine trees. Just a suggestion though. After all it is a competition.

The horizon is too low, it doesn't physically make sense.

Celaquil · Mar 26, 2009

Meh, to show everyone that I am working on this, I am now going to post a VERY early stage WIP. I know most of its horrible, but it'll get fixed, eventually.

Just_Spectating · Mar 26, 2009

thats actually pretty good Keiji

Those hills are sux. They look more like piles of stuff in a junkyard, maybe you should make them look more naturally-shaped.

CoBrA b · Mar 27, 2009

Updated!

Some Highlights:

Crystals in background now glow!

Took out all the coral that looked bad and only kept the ones that looked good!

Added Seaweed!

~Void~ · Mar 27, 2009

Absolutely awesome. Maybe add more fish and some dolphins or something. I'll allow you to use 2 custom unit models. (Let me edit the first post)

leet.firefox · Mar 27, 2009

CUSTOM UNIT MODELS!
This means I don't have to use a harpy

Just_Spectating · Mar 27, 2009

well he could just use the Whale model already ingame.

Well that's a killer whale, and you don't see those in tropical waters.

Linaze · Mar 27, 2009

Atlantis looks good, even though it looks like some underwater troll ruins.

HFR · Mar 27, 2009

You'll say what custom models we can use, or the contesters can choose any model?

That's nice but the hills really spoil it.

Celaquil · Mar 27, 2009

Ofc they do, I've just simply placed them there to get an overall feel of the hills, I havnt even worked on them yet. I'll fix em up

Acvong · Mar 27, 2009

Darkyvm · Mar 27, 2009

Submissions must be original work and may not be made before the contest starts (or after the deadline, d'oh).

Sorry Acvong, but that means you can't use that terrain.

Acvong · Mar 27, 2009

Oh dam..lololol
Guess im gonna make a new one

Megafyr · Mar 27, 2009

Well.. Here's a WIP. I'm doing something Norse Mythologyish.

Belgarath · Mar 27, 2009

Looks extremely good, Megafyr. Very lifelike.

CoBrA b · Mar 27, 2009

Updated!

Some Highlights:

Crabs Added!

Dolphins Added!

Fish Spam!

Just_Spectating · Mar 27, 2009

those dolphins are too small IMO or that crab is huge!

Make the sky dark so it looks like the sun is actually setting.

HFR · Mar 28, 2009

Well, as I already said, I gave up making roman and started making an Norse, so here is my WIP, Yggdrasill outpost, 2 versions. Also made an Jesus walking in the water for fun (but I'll not use it).

note: The WIPs are in an very early stage, so, eventually, I can change much things.

~Void~ · Mar 28, 2009

Sweet Yggdrasil. I hope you don't mind that I'm doing Yggdrasil too, except mine is underground (for the most part).
