Terraining Contest #6 - Ancient Mythology

[HFR]

Well... I never found it... Anyway, the best parts are the city and the sky. The massive ice block mountains are weird...

 

[~Void~]

Ok I dont know what happen there, ill just attach it as file.

The ice block spam kinda ruins it. The only part I really like is the overall shape/layout of the terrain and the background. That fortress is epic.

 

[HFR]

It's an fortress? Anyway, I'll work on my terrain now.

 

[Oziris]

Wolfhelm, the ice ruins it! replace it with something else.

 

[Kwah]

*goes to browse ancient mythology*

I'm thining the pit into Tartarus.

 

[HFR]

It's norse?

 

[Kwah]

Greek.

 

[~Void~]

No, that's Greek.

 

[Darkyvm]

HFR, those are the Pine (Winter) trees, they're near the end of the Tree section in the environment doodad list in the UTM.

 

[HFR]

HFR's WIP:

Right. Now it's WIP time:

 

[raid1000]

any ideas on how to improve mine ?

 

[~Void~]

No. ^^

 

[HFR]

And me? Any ideas (of course, mine is uglier than Raid's one...)?

 

[Wolfhelm]

HFR yours is cool but maybe try to add some life to the castle, it needs more color. The forest floor in background seems too empty, and the light coming down from yggdrasil doesnt seem natural.

 

[HFR]

Ok, thanks for advice!

 

[Oziris]

any ideas on how to improve mine ?

Make something inside the temple?

 

[~Void~]

I'm actually going to try something new here. I'm going to make a city first and THEN find a camera angle. Let's see how this works out.

 

[HFR]

Now I'll make an real norse castle.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Ok, so i fixed up my WIP today. Its not done i know still needs work, but let me know what you think.

 

[~Void~]

You might want to use Light Blue colored fog and place a stormsphere.

 

[HFR]

It's better, still too many ice blocks, though...

 

[Belgarath]

so uh i made some shit

 

[Just_Spectating]

The Speed contest is over so i guess ill start this one now

@Bleg, i love the atmosphere

 

[Belgarath]

i've spent about ~20 mins (less prolly) on it, i need to do the sfx and a bit more environment probably

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol

im a little late. =p

Ill try to submit something on this contest.

 

[FrIkY]

Maybe I'll join, too. I was thinking of making the Great Pyramid, but not sure which model should I use for blocks... any ideas? Or, can I request it?

 

[raid1000]

well if you make the pyramid in its time use the granite block since the pyramids had white blocks but if you want to make a pyramid as seen from today use some sunken ruins block of some kind

 

[FrIkY]

I'm gonna make those as seen in their time then, and with that gold thing on top.

EDIT: And here it is! "The Fail Pyramid"! Just showing what (fail) I've done so far... I gotta re-do it.

 

[~Void~]

I wonder if I can pull off the Sphinx...

 

[Nightwish.ger]

hm... you should make dune's in the Sand, a blue sky that is overcloud and the fog should be a bit weeker and more yellow.

 

[~Void~]

And maybe some more interesting stuff, like Egyptian workers and some huts/tents or something. In fact, what would be absolutely amazing, is if you showed the pyramids (two or three) in the process of being built, and also made a shot from inside the pyramid.

They were built one at a time, not all at once.

 

[graystuff111]

does it really matter Pyritie? I mean, are you really looking for historical accuracy from wc3 terrain?
I think thats a great idea Void, it would be really cool if it showed ropes and stuff pulling the blocks up.

 

[FamousPker49]

Wow, FrIky your pyramid looks quite familiar to me... Dunno what it is though, it just kind of rings a bell.

 

[Belgarath]

updated.
lol@famous

 

[Nbah]

Famous, there isn't really any special way to build pyramids. They have only one way. Stack eachother untill you make rolls. It's kinda obvious in the end well have a similiarity.

 

[Just_Spectating]

W.I.P.
I started a bit now

Something roman.

[FrIkY]

So, wait... is the pyramid actually good? And btw, I'm not gonna make it sandy, dusty, windy or whatever...

Oh yes, definitely, you know you're my idol! ...

 

[raid1000]

maybe this can help in pyramid making...

 

[FrIkY]

Not very helpful, but thanks! (I got the game ) Oh, and I've started on the new one!

 

[SandMan]

Can I still join?

If I can count me In!

 

[~Void~]

Um, you don't need to sign up. The deadline is in the first post.

 

[NeCrO_OwNeR]

I am in TOO

 

[Restor]

every pyramid looks familiar to each other (if their are egyptian both), e.g. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f267/picture-90385/index38.html#post750310

[Belgarath]

[Just_Spectating]

Its nice, not much to say about it. its pretty good. the forest could be thicker.
