Terraining Contest #6 - Ancient Mythology

[Megafyr]

Okay, here's an other WIP. I have been messing around with the lightning. What do you think?

Also, brand new super special format PNG FTW!

 

[HFR]

It's very good, but you have the same problem that I had: Lack of trees on the hills. Thick the forest a bit.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Damn Megafyr, that terrain kicks ass.
I dont know how much i like those trees your using, but the houses on the hills in background are nice touch. I think it would look better if they where lookout towers tho.

 

[HFR]

The houses on the mountains really don't fit the walls and towers. You can make the houses with the log doodads, like the one I made.

Meh, fuck that rocky floor. It looks stupid in this situation.

 

[ArcticInferno]

Megafyr that is awesome.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

megafyr, your work is very nice.
The atmosphere is very good, but it needs an epic sun, or an epic touched sky to it.

The cliff idea is good, but you can see the texture of it to well, maybe more fog...

and HFR, your WIP is getting on nicley. The last thing you need to do is change those trees, or make them wider or something. Just change there model, its easier than replacing all the trees.

 

[ArcticInferno]

mah new WIP! Almost final, I guess

I'm not sure what it is, I decided to focus on fun than to be extremely bothered by what mythical thing it is

 

[Avex]

Reminds me of Zelda: Twilight Princess, where you get the Shards for the mirror.

 

[ArcticInferno]

It started out as some sort of underwater ruin, then a tomb built inside a underwater cave, but now I don't know what it is.

May be removing that whole thing in the center. Any suggestions?

(or also any suggestions what myth thing can I call this)

 

[Wolfhelm]

I think its cool, but maybe it would look better if the area between that center piece and the walls around it where smaller, or just fill it in really well.
It could be fountain of life or sumthin...

 

[frostwhisper]

Some sort of WIP, I guess.

 

[~Void~]

Looks nice I guess, but what is it?

 

[Oziris]

Frostwhisper i love the way you made the Leaves on those world trees! the background should be better.

 

[frostwhisper]

Looks nice I guess, but what is it?

It's a forest
It's gonna get all mythy when I add the faries (bulgarian mythological faries that is) >:}

Frostwhisper i love the way you made the Leaves on those world trees! the background should be better.

Suggestions, suggestions, suggestions...

 

[Oziris]

The fog is too strong! make it less stronger if you are not going to make the terrain fogy.

 

[HFR]

Ah, frosty and his enchanted forests, full of little fairies. You're doing it good!

 

[leet.firefox]

I think I'm out. not enough time to devote to this. Maybe I'll post what I'm working on in the terrain section when I'm done. Unless I can finish all my other work and work crazy hard on this.

@frostwhisper: not much to say since it's just tress with doodads placed around them. But the way you did the leaves is indeed cool. I'm sure you're gonna add some epic magically shit to it so it's all good,

@Megafyr: I don't really like the tile leading up to it. And for some reason I'm just not digging the head-on camera approach.

@HFR: The forest in the back still looks empty and derived of substance. And you have yet to put the snowy tress on the snowy floor. And the trees on the far left hill, the one at an almost completely vertical angle. appear to be floating.

@ArcticInferno: Looks promising. are you going to add some kind of city inside, or will it be more like a temple?

@Acvong: Liking the sun ray effect. But I'm sure you know that everything in back and middle could use some more detail.

@Keiji: Looks really good. Since it is your final I assume you wish for no more suggestions.

@Wolfhelm: Can't see yours, have you moved the image of where you got the location?

@Darkyvm: I like the look of it, but what is Walhalla? Is it like a spoof on Valhalla?

@~Void~: Have you added more rock stuff yet?

@H-Bomber: Please take one epic picture of your terrain. It looks interesting. but a little messy. Try cleaning it up and personalizing it a little.

@Just_Spectating: I like the way it's turning out. It's been awhile so I assume you have done a lot more to it. Like filled out the right side. And maybe change the Archmage to Neutral Hostile, the color kind of clashes for me. The light on the statue also looks a little odd.

@FriKy: How's the new pyramid coming?

@Belgareth: Not really liking those random rays of light. I don't want to suggest too heavily on it since it's been a while.

@CoBrA B: I'm not really sure what to suggest, as I'm not too experienced with underwater terrains.

@raid1000: Why is the inside of the temples so bright?

@Oziris: Right side could use some more details. And I don't really like the horizon/

@communist_orc: lol

@Ziggen: Gonna post a new W.I.P.?

 

[Wolfhelm]

Yeah i did move the image location..
This is what i got so far, this is my final unfortunatly... there was more stuff i wanted to add/change but my WE crashed right after screenshot and i lost alot of progress so now im too mad to redo it all.

FINAL SUBMISSION

Blue lighting and glows FTW!

 

[HFR]

Looks good, and good luck with the contest now!

 

[ArcticInferno]

Crashing sucks :/

That looks nice, the crystals and rocks. The foreground is kinda messy tho

 

[HFR]

Well, it's his final, so comments don't mean much...

 

[Ziggen]

Really cool sky.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Messy ground? Isnt ground usualy messy, unless someone has cleared it up... its suppose to look harsh/rugged.

Thanks for comments tho ^^

 

[Gilles]

Some sort of WIP, I guess.

UTM? Blue glow model, if I'm not mistaken?

FOR SHAME!

 

[frostwhisper]

I lost the fucking non-import map, k?
Too lazy to do it all over... -.-

 

[Gilles]

At least you're not too lazy to terrain at all. I tried, honest. I got about five minutes in before I went back to DoW2.

 

[frostwhisper]

I doubt I'll finish mine. I might just end up judging this thing...

 

[HFR]

No, please, NOOOOOO!!!!!

Just kidding, judge it...

 

[SandMan]

I think I'm out, i lost all my maps and tools... now I don't know if I will continue mapping

 

[ArcticInferno]

Messy ground? Isnt ground usualy messy, unless someone has cleared it up... its suppose to look harsh/rugged.

Idk the two kinds of Ice floes don't really fit in my opinion. Or the rocks.

 

[Darkyvm]

@Darkyvm: I like the look of it, but what is Walhalla? Is it like a spoof on Valhalla?

They're the same thing, it can be spelled either Valhalla or Walhalla.
Everyone's submissions are looking good, having a hard time deciding which one is looking best atm.
Wolfhelm, the trees in the foreground look a bit weird, they look like they're growing on the rocks, the two kinds of ice floes look a bit weird too.
HFR, that is looking pretty good, but some of the trees don't fit, for example, the trees on the snow don't have snow on them.

 

[HFR]

I'll remove the snow, it'll give an more realistic feeling.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Ugh im gonna have to reload old save map and do everything i lost over + make changes... we'll see.

 

[HFR]

Ok, I wish you good luck and
Happy Easter to All!

To the chocolate!

 

[ArcticInferno]

Updated WIP! This is close to final! Suggestions please!

Thanks

edit: shit. I resized it to make it not-widescreen but now its like meh :/ quality

 

[Just_Spectating]

reminds me of WoW.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Ok so i started to redo my terrain from last save point but theres somthing wrong.. When i change the time of day the lighting stays the say, it always looks like its midnight. Also if i set time of day to "Not Fixed" the time never changes...

 

[HFR]

Try to open the Previewer and them close it in the "Window" menu. It should work.

Also, I'l work on my terrain and maybe post a WIP here (probably my last).

 

[~Void~]

reminds me of WoW.

That's a bad thing. Really bad

 

[HFR]

WoW! Actually, WoW terrains are better than the ol' Wc3 terrains...

 

[Acvong]

Probably my final didnt get alot of time to work on it.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Yeah that kinda worked but i can only switch between noon and midnight, this is so annoying..

 

[~Void~]

WoW! Actually, WoW terrains are better than the ol' Wc3 terrains...

Ehh... they are still bad, I mean, they are both bad

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Ehh... they are still bad, I mean, they are both bad

Actually Northrend is pretty fine in WoW D:

 

[HFR]

Better than in Wc3? Well, Wrath of Lich King atualized the graphics, so I think they're better...

 

[Gilles]

Ehh... they are still bad, I mean, they are both bad

While this is generally true, I'm still very impressed with WoW's terrain. They have to keep it somewhat simple, and they've done a good job.

 

[Just_Spectating]

WoW has good Playability Terrain, but not for the eye-candy.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

I dont agree, you gotta see one of the level 80 raids inside, and outside. They look pretty good.

 

[~Void~]

Uff, fuck this shit. I'm judging now, I don't have an entry. xP
