Terraining Contest #7 - Small World

[raid1000]

pardon moi for being original >.>

 

[~Void~]

Meh. You should make it dark.

 

[raid1000]

its not finished yet

 

[HFR]

Awesome, but, as someone already said, rules are rules. Even Corexx isn't above them.

 

[raid1000]

ok i dare you to spot teh imported models
and the people who make the rules are above them

 

[HFR]

I'll not work for you. Therrre arrre 4 models and you'rre only allowed to use 3. And the people who made the rrrules arrre dead!

 

[raid1000]

so that means void is a dead corpse now?

 

[HFR]

He's only pure and dead Void with terraining abilities. He doesn't count as alive.

 

[raid1000]

maybe i was bluffing about the 4 models >
find me them!

 

[Squidle]

Cog-Thingy, Archway, steel-plates and the bridges giant cog at the background?

 

[~Void~]

I'm actually a giant evil bastard who enjoys nitpicking and making people's lives terrible while I sit on my lazy ass.

You weren't bluffing, you sent me a VM about it ;P

 

[HFR]

So I'll use 4 models too!

/me cries like a emo

 

[raid1000]

You weren't bluffing, you sent me a VM about it ;P

pics or didn't happen!!
ok gone to sleep...

 

[HFR]

You're unlucky, because I never sleep! Now, I'll haunt your dreams and you will tell me where are the 4 models and your deepest secrets! MWAHAHAHA!

 

[leet.firefox]

Only 3 extra models. And we need to approve them before you submit your final entry.

 

[Chaos.]

Well, i haven't been working much on my terrain the last week. For some reason my WE kept crashing every time i was terraining that map. I would get alot of work done and my WE would crash, and i would lose it all. It annoyed the crap out of me. But i couldnt really get the effect that i wanted anyways. So instead of doing the fish bowl city, i decided to go with my first idea. The idea comes from a naga royal guard quote.

"No sink is safe from world domination." Just a WIP. Its a naga city in a sink.

 

[~Void~]

Stretched textures and too bright blue, but other than that, WIN.

 

[HFR]

The stretched textures can ruin even a good terrain. I know this problem very well...

 

[~Void~]

In fact, it's not even the stretched textures that bug me. It's the shrunken textures that don't have mips that bother me.

 

[HFR]

No. Because of the stretched textures in the last contest, I made it in 5th... But this will not repeat now.

 

[Celaquil]

Meh... Although I'm not sure I'm completely done with it, this is my entry;

- The point of the terrain is; imagine that a titan came to a land, built his house there, and for some odd reason he vanished, thus leaving his house to slowly be taken over by nature and the native tribes and advanced societies found their place among the many furnitures of the odd new territory.

Oh shi - have to send a PM to the judges about that cathedral light thingy >.>

EDIT: Update.

EDIT2: Update, again >.>

 

[Real Impact]

Okay, this is my updated entry. Made it darker and added a giant ' torch ' to counter the fact that the foreground is brighter than the background due to the fog.

Story - An explorer has uncovered a tomb which has an ancient civilisation with its mighty but tiny cities.

Edit - Btw, Raid's terrain is simply awesome.
Edit - This is no longer my entry. I have a new one.

 

[raid1000]

the terrains look good overall gl to everyone
as for the imports >.> i think it would be better to use unlimited amounts of imported material as long as they have ingame textures

EDIT: UPDATE!

 

[Gilles]

That's looking sick raid, but I really don't think it fits the theme too well.

 

[raid1000]

why not?
as stated before its the insides of a clock.
there you can see clock-werk goblins and little bunnies driving the cogs
so its basically a small world inside your clock

 

[Gilles]

Fine. I like the creativity, but I just feel it didn't match the description Void gave for the theme. However it isn't my decision, and I'm not even judging, so good luck convincing Void.

 

[Corexx]

Gilles is right.
Although the screen is pretty neat it doesn´t look like a 'small world'. Additionally it doesn´t look like an clockwork from inside either. More like a goblintown dressed with many needless gearwheels.
You should add the back of a clock face at the background and try to give the gearwheels more structure. There´re placed too random imho.

€dit: nah, nearly forgot: The screen lacks an really good highlight. :/

@ Keiji:
I really like the idea and execution but the rocks are seriously out of place. Wonder how they get there...

 

[Nbah]

Me not like the gears at the left corner. They're kinda spammed there, and I also agree, you should devise someway to feature that view in a clock or something.

 

[~Void~]

Piss-colored sunlight?

 

[2-P]

You should add the back of a clock face at the background.

This. You need some kind of reference to a "real sized" object in your terrain.

 

[SuperCow]

i just wondered how to get light into the terrain, like raid1000 got the light coming from back in the clock

 

[~Void~]

Glow doodads, light from above, light emitters, whatever you want to use. I personally prefer light emitters and light from above (old school ftw), but that's just me.

 

[SuperCow]

I wanna join, but i don't get any ideas

 

[Slaydon]

this terrain contest is AWESOME

Your the first to complain about them >.> And their suppost to be mountains, I like them how they are.

 

[~Void~]

I'm trying to get madsen to come back and make an entry.

 

[Ziggen]

I'm trying to get madsen to come back and make an entry.

Don't! D:

 

[raid1000]

no do it! >

 

[Nbah]

Awesomeeee, my favourite terrainer. If he could come for this contest, that would be great.

 

[HFR]

Crap, didn't managed to create anything... maybe Tuesday...

 

[Chaos.]

Another WIP.



I made the blue a little bit darker, but to me it doesn't feel as underwater like as it did in my last WIP. What do you think? I also added in more buildings and dishes.

 

[HFR]

It's doesn't looks like underwater... Maybe making the fog smoother.

 

[Chaos.]

Smoother? What do you mean?

 

[HFR]

It looks like they're above the water close of the camera. But at the foreground the fog is is very thick.

 

[Chaos.]

Ah i see, ill fix that.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Try a lighter blue for the fog, actually. Make it start closer and end really far so it seems like its slightly coloring everything. Also, there are other ways to make it look underwater, like bubbles.

 

[HFR]

That's what I'm saying... But light blue really works. Maybe even teal.

 

[Chaos.]

I added in a crap load of bubbles its just hard to notice them. But i'll add more i guess.
