Terraining Contest #7 - Small World

[raid1000]

Underwater helicopters?

those are some hydrodynamic copters

 

[Gilles]

The angle on Megafyr's terrain is awesome. Great choice.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i wonder why he used bliz trees.

 

[~Void~]

Now that I think of it, I don't really like those little dots. They don't look like lights to me.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it's a messy little city indeed.

 

[Gilles]

i wonder why he used bliz trees.

Because they look fine from that distance and angle.

 

[Megafyr]

It was never my intension to create an underwater terrain, but why not call it one? As Raid1000 suggested, those are hydrodynamic copters. : >

The reason I used Bliz-trees is simply because those in my opinion are the only good looking trees available from a camera angle like I did.

Messy city? Ever been to Greece? It's perfectly normal that cities aren't perfectly symetrical. And about the lights... I wonder if I am gonna do something about it considering the time it takes to place all the lights a city like this really has. : <

 

[Just_Spectating]

so theres water in the water? lol

 

[Megafyr]

Hmm... Originally it was thought to be a titan looking at a city at night. Nothing underwater. Interpret my terrain the way you want it.

@Squidle: Nights don't necessarily need to be black.

 

[H-Bomber]

Y my map corrupt...

 

[Corexx]

Corexx proudly presents:
- giant apples ( very tasty! )
- tiny trebutchets
- big bad evil monster-wasps
( That are my three Imports... )

Special feature: reflective water surface

The tiny humans never felt very safe in these huge woods. So they built massive strongholds to defend theirselves. Hopefully their bows and trebutchets are strong enough to bear with the mighty wasps...

 

[Wolfhelm]

Ha, you made the tree branches out of the roots - kind of interesting.

There is a lot of units in this terrain, too many of them look identical - obviously cuz they are, i guess thats why you dont see many units in terrain shots often.

Those brick walls dont really look good stacked ontop of eachother because there is a couple of rows of bricks that are darker then rest and makes it look like the castle has stripes. Seems wierd to me.

Also not really seeing reflection in the surface of water, maybe a couple shadows but thats it.

 

[~Void~]

Blehh it's kinda cool I gotta say, but that light from above is fail. It goes through the branch... and clips really funny like. And what about leaves? If it's the time of year for apples there would be leaves too

Also, the units look placed in kind of a gaussian way, which is silly because people wouldn't actually stand like that. I'm not saying make it a perfect formation, but it shouldn't be 'random yet evenly spaced' like it is now..

 

[Mr.Goblin]

dude.. this is the first terrain competition where there's so much win.. like it's the first time I could say, Void is by far my favorite D:.. what the hell?!

Keep up the good work guys, really, i'm completly blown away!..

 

[Hawkwing]

I'm loving all of the terrains I've seen so far! Keep it up, everyone!

 

[Corexx]

The wasps did a surprise attack so there was no time for proper formations.
And unfornately I lacked a good leaves-model.
( Yes, many units at the same place sucks, but empty walls would even look weirder! )

Lo0k closer.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah, i guess the theme is just win heh?

Well yeah but people don't stand around like that, if it's a surprise attack, make them kinda in groups and clusters or walking around like they are talking and going about their everyday business.

 

[frostwhisper]

Lovin' Corexx' idea.

 

[H-Bomber]

This contest is so full of win, i might just explode. If only mai map was still here...

 

[Slaydon]

aim ut, bcz ai dunt gat a chance

Translated:

Hidden

I'm out, because i dont have a chance beating all those good terrains.

 

[frostwhisper]

Pfft, stand your ground, you pussy

Also:

~ frost 4 judge ~

 

[Squidle]

Wait I'm screwed >_<"
Thought the end was at 6th of July...
Gotta work hard tomorrow O_O"

Heh, but darker would fit better I think...

[Chaos.]

I've been very busy the last two weeks. So I havent been able to make much progress. And i will be busy for the next few days. So today is probably my last chance to submit something. One of these will most likely be my final. But meh, you could give me another month to work on it and my terrain still wouldnt compare to the awesome terrains of this contest, lol.

I've tried several fogs. Which one looks the best?


Teal fog


Dark Teal fog (Final)


Black fog


Ingame (I couldnt get the bubbles to work ingame.)


EDIT: The dark teal one is my Final.

Dude, this idea, just blow my mind.. completly.. really really awesome..

I want to see more terrain from you D:

 

[~Void~]

That PSP is much more win now, but the wood shit is kinda crappy and so are the light from above thingies.

 

[Just_Spectating]

@Chaos. perhaps you can make the bubbles bigger?

 

[Chaos.]

They are at max. Cant make them bigger.

 

[Just_Spectating]

then perhaps closer, make an illusion, keep some small, but i really can't see them without searching.

 

[Chaos.]

Thats the problem with bubbles, they move to fast, that its hard to get a SS at the right moment. lol. Ill, see what i can do. Which of those terrain fogs should i use?

 

[Squidle]

WOW, Epic terrains here O_O"
Gotta work today and tomorrow 'till it's done >_<"

How did you do the buttons?

 

[H-Bomber]

Lol, most entries are almost epic, while others are epic

 

[DTuGuR]

i create gmax 1.2 war3mpq texturing

 

[Squidle]

i create gmax 1.2 war3mpq texturing

Okay... that I don't understand.

But it looks like you used more then 3 imports.
Triangle Circle Squire and the X...

And the light is a bit strange...

 

[DTuGuR]

i haven't used more than 3 imports, rest of them belong to utm

 

[~Void~]

Oh, what's the point of that arch on the bottom left of the PSP? It looks kinda off.

 

[DTuGuR]

 

[MadseN]

Well this is my final piece, kinda rushed it at the end, should have used some more time on it, well well.

The Concept is that some Titan children made there first worlds as a school project (that's why they look so bad )

Only imports is the the High Res stone, and the Alpha Texture, all else is UTM.

Hope you like it!

/MadseN

 

[~Void~]

It's alright, cool concept, very messy though.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Messy indeed, very nice though. It depicts three different worlds, it's normal to be that messy. There is something i like in total and something i dislike. Maybe what i dislike is the loss of this 'feeling', this 'atmosphere', it's way unrealistic.

 

[~Void~]

What I dislike is the messiness

 

[AKAIMAX]

You should add something in the background like maybe meteors or something cause it looks empty everywhere else.

 

[Dragon9560]

~Void~ when does the contest stop its been a while since the clock reached 11.59 (gmt).

 

[syltman]

Man this will be insane hard to pick the winner.

 

[raid1000]

you dont have to pick a winner
you make the judging and give points
who has most points gets sexy time with me

 

[Palaslayer]

uärks :S

 

[Just_Spectating]

very nice.

 

[syltman]

Oh that's right, I'm not picking the winner and I don't even have to vote... however the judge will have a hard time picking the winner or if there's one that sticks out just a bit from the rest it'll win. However I must say that the entries in this contest are incredible!

 

[~Void~]

I find they all stick out from each other in different directions. The judges will have to look at each one in extreme detail and be even more nitpicky than I usually am.
