Pm one of the judges.

 

[Real Impact]

Final Update

Here's the final terrain, remove glass as it looks ugly and makes the main focus of the terrain hard to see. Added some flowers and few rocks.

 

[H-Bomber]

Gots myself a new WIP. Removed a couple of units.
Btw... I dont really know much about terraining, could you explain the glow thingo.

 

[MultiGod]

Joining! Joining!

Phew, there's only 3 days left.
I'm making somewhat a hell in Outland!

 

[HFR]

Ehhh... Not too much to say...

 

[MultiGod]

Final Update!

I call THIS Fast Terrain!!

 

[HFR]

Where's the "small world"?

 

[MultiGod]

Small Hell

 

[frostwhisper]

Fail hell's more like it.

 

[Just_Spectating]

rofl, it doesnt really match the theme.

 

[Real Impact]

If you had'nt said that it was small hell I would have never known it was small hell...

 

[Palaslayer]

i do not even see it after he told us...

 

[Oziris]

This will be my Final terrain.

 

[Ziggen]

Why even bother uploading something you've done in 6 minutes?

 

[MaD[Lion]]

lol people are weird They have 0% chance agains madsen or void anyway...

Btw HBomber if u dont know much about terraining then its hard to explain....
Theres a fog doodad called generic glow and/or fog... They are good to make glows and shadings.

Atm ur rifleman is in bas contrast, and also the rabbit, hard to see them...

 

[raid1000]

void's terrain is meh to... simple and easy to do
madsen put a little more effort in his but its still EASY to do!
lion's entry is uber roflbbq wtf? its still easy to do xD but its way more complex and awesome! and he has all the chances to win

hope i could get at least 3rd place

 

[Palaslayer]

raid, werent you the one with the goblin machinery? i love yours, though it has not so much to do with a small world because yuo cannot really see that it is inside a clock.
so far most complex:
raid
lion

i think lion will win though

voids and madsens terrains are really nice, too, but voids snow ball isnt that creative (was a snow ball, right?)

 

[Real Impact]

No, it is a snow globe.

 

[Palaslayer]

sorry, again a lack of vocabulary :S

Placing doodads is easy to do, it's the idea that counts

Mine's simplistic and I like simplistic.

no! you are just LAZY!

 

[HFR]

He is? He is? Oh my gauld!

 

[~Void~]

no! you are just LAZY!

Yeah ok you got me there. But lazy people can make good art too

 

[HFR]

Yep. Give a pencil to me and you'll see... Nah, I suck at drawing.

Seriously Void, your terrain is inferior than Madsen and that hand ones.

 

[~Void~]

Why do you think that? Personally I think it's more polished. The only negative thing I can, objectively, come up with is the fact that that camera angle has been done a billion times before, but both of the other terrains use that angle as well.

 

[HFR]

Because the other 2 are:

- Creative
- Cool
- Detailed

And they fit the theme, of course. Also, I can make a immense review of the 2, pointing their qualities and the few flaws, but I don't want to.

 

[~Void~]

And mine isn't? I think a world inside a snowglobe is pretty creative, I guess "cool" is in the eyes of the viewer, but I think it's pretty cool, and it's definitely detailed.

 

[HFR]

Yah, and you forgot it's my opinion, but ok...

 

[~Void~]

I didn't forget anything, I'm asking you to tell me some details so I can improve.

 

[HFR]

Ok, I'll try to fully load your pic...

 

[~Void~]

I use PNG format for a higher image quality; you should consider a faster internet service.

 

[HFR]

Let's stick to the topic >_>

I opened it and:

The city is too simple. It's just some buildings and random trees. Also, the blue snow doesn't fits.

And the perspective is the old "thing at the middle with 2 trees at the sides". Everyone is already sick of that.

 

[~Void~]

I think the city is nice, the buildings aren't random, neither are the trees, and the snow doesn't look blue to me; what other snow am I supposed to use anyways? It seems like you're looking for bad things just for the sake of criticizing me.

 

[HFR]

Nah, there are good points in it, like the lightning. But the perspective kills it.

 

[MaD[Lion]]

stop this, we make art we dont argue about tat our art owns. leave it to the viewer
I know why people like my, cus the use of light + color theme + camera angle make it look epic.
Void's terrain is detail and creative, but problem is i think ur terrain lack shading, lighting and the color is too much on the same theme, no contrast... and last not least lack of a good camera angle. Ur terrain is prolly good for a Zoom out cinematic, but in a still shot it is too boring?
And to say a terrain of ur style, this one i think is better than urs if its in a snow globe:
The terrain design looks really like a natural landscape
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1153664-post68.html

the landscape itself is also very epic ^^

 

[~Void~]

Nah, there are good points in it, like the lightning. But the perspective kills it.

I disagree. My opinion > your opinion GTFO

jk

 

[Belgarath]

Void, it's barely extremely detailed like you say, if I remember right, there isn't really a "point of focus", something to stare at and go "wow", sure, the globe is the focus, but it's not a great one, it's a fatass globe with some trees, rocks and water. Nothing "special" inside the globe, you know? :/ If you added like, a city with actual life and shit, it'd be far better.

 

[~Void~]

Life and shit? Like what? Boats? Lights? I honestly find that request really really nitpicky because you can't add any details like that to something so small and have them be noticeable at all.

 

[H-Bomber]

I got bad news...
For sum reason my terraining map got corrupt .
I guess my last WIP has to be my final...

 

[~Void~]

..........

 

[Nbah]

Make your camera with 120 FOV and all the detail will be replaced with the sheer awesomeness of the camera ! If it's already with 120 then you're pretty much fucked.

EDIT: Just saw it again, I had a thought. Remove the thick fog, and make an awesome background with mountains, cities, etc. Then you will have more detail, and there will be more awesome shit > Cons: I'd be lazy as hell, kinda hard to do with the camera angle, but idk.

 

[Dark Master]

I give up to epicness of these terrains.

[dansaDisco]

[Ziggen]

Very nice Megafyr, but I think that the fog is a little bit too thick.

 

[raid1000]

Very nice Megafyr, but I think that the fog is a little bit too thick.
