Terraining Contest - Ashenvale Tileset[Dead]

[Rui]

Very well. The Black Citadel tileset contest starts today. I would say you people will need more than custom models this time :twisted: as Black Citadel and Outland are not easy (at least I've not seen good terrains of Outland).

-Rui

 

[Metal_Sonic]

B-b-b-black citadel? Argh. I HATE that tileset.

 

[Rui]

Hahaha good luck

-Rui

 

[Mecheon]

Yes, the Black Citidel

Along with Dalaran, its one of the terrains made purely for the campaign

Hence, you need to think hard with WHAT you can do with this one, yet alone how to do it

 

[seruk]

Ow man do I wait for sunken ruins.. mmm...

 

[Rui]

I suggest everyone to try. No one is going to laugh of your terrains.

-Rui

 

[dothackking]

my terrain is hard to take a screenshot of... can someone download it from me and take screenshots? theres only 4 areas of interest...

 

[Herio-san]

Black Citidel is the new tileset? i think i might come back into the contest if i have time haha and this time actually make something. if not this tileset then maybe the next one...

 

[Rui]

Well since no one is going for a Black Citadel I guess we skip this one. Lazy ppl -.-

-Rui

 

[dothackking]

naw! im doing this one... but i cant get an angle... i need an angle for my pics... i allready have the map made...

 

[Waldbaer]

If it is not possible to take a good screenshot of your terrain, it is not good!
So what's your problem? Hold the Ctrl key down and turn the camera holding Right Click. Use the view menu to optimize view for your wishes (should be game view or something similar). Then press the "print" key or command+shift+3 or four to take a screenshot.
We're waiting for your Screenshot! 8)


And Rui, we're skipping black citadel and still don't have official results for Ashenvale and none for Barrens. Will we get them in the end after all tilesets?

 

[Herio-san]

wait...which tileset r we using?

 

[seruk]

Still Black Citadel...

 

[Deathlust]

Since I actually have time to do stuff Sunday & Monday, I might do one then... Fun.

BTW - If I am required to enter the previous tilesets, would you mind informing me of which ones I missed? (ASAP please) If I don't have to do them, then that's good as well, especially if I had to do them and there were already "winners" of that tileset.

I haven't seen any votes. Before the contest ends on the last tileset, we will decide who are the winners I guess. But, if you people vote sooner, we will choose them earlier.

Ashenvale and Barrens. And no, the tilesets Barrens and Ashenvale are over. We're currently working on Black Citadel.

[Deathlust]

Good.. I think I'll make my Black Citadel based off WC3 Hell :twisted:

 

[Rui]

Ok this contest will get buried if everyone is gonna wait for Cityscape, so we will skip to Cityscape at once. I think Cityscape is not a hard terrain. So I wish everyone luck with this new tileset.

-Rui

 

[seruk]

Your lucky day!

AW ^^

[Bob27]

These are screenshots of Minas Tirith from my campaign

 

[Rui]

@Bob27: It looks very good really, but I cannot approve it because everything, really EVERYTHING is custom texture, incluing the ground textures.

@Seruk: Not bad, but what's that "kind-of-yellow" wall after the stairs?

-Rui

 

[Bob27]

Hope you like these

 

[seruk]

It's an church, the one there is some kind of misstreated peasant or smth like in cult of the damned! and the dude up there is the archpriest, and gods might shines down on him

 

[Waldbaer]

@Bob27: I think it's very rough, many very big doodads, no smaller ones => no details. Also, the same doodad is use very often just beside another, so there is few change. :?

@Seruk: Better, still not very much to see in it, but everything has it's own place. Perhaps you have some ideas for other details or another scene?

I think I have to hand in something by myself again instead of critisizing endless without making something better...
We'll see, maybe I'll make something during the next days...

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

meh, I wish I joined earlier. anyways,heres my cityscape terrain(elven house):

 

[Rui]

Wow that's cool. That almost reminds me of Lara's house (Tomb Raider LOL).

-Rui

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

Thanks for ignoring mine
Rui I feel so appreciated, anyways,
Emergenys has so many problems with
it it's not even funny. The main
one is the extreme spikes in the terrain,
you will never, ever find that anywhere,
it is completly un-natural and looks
hidious. The other are minor that
I'd rather not go into but I hardly
consider your judgement as accurate
anymore Rui after missing those blatent
mistakes.

Actually, rock spikes do form that way
in nature although they are still not
that pointy and are usually on a larger
scale (like mountains)example:

I would still suggest using the smooth
tool on the very top of those spikes,
Emergenzy.

 

[Deathlust]

I'm currently out of business in this, beacuse life is really busy atm, sorry. I was like 3/4's of the way done with my stupid black citadel terrain as well... Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Life sucks.

 

[Jamir]

very nice terrains. i wish i could terrain like any of you..!

 

[seruk]

Guh, suitable name then


I made this just for fun it's a magical book in the museum which guests can look at

 

[Herio-san]

ill post something tomorro for the cityscape contest..cityscape is my favorite tileset id post now but photobucket and imageshack arent taking my images..ill hav to resize them and such..ill do it tomorro

 

[Herio-san]

ok here are the images i promised..










hmm...welll watcha thinkkk?

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

add some bricks or round tiles to
the middle of the white marble and

use the marble as a sidewalk. Add
some junk to the sides of the buildings
and some bushes and flowers to the lawns
(it all looks rather empty) and whats
with the giant yellow child? otherwise,
great terrains.

 

[james1654]

I am curently making a stormwind terain, but i can only
have an hour a day, beacause i only get 2 hours when i
get back from town at 11 o clock. I allways stay out
with mates at park really late, so i never have much
time for much else (and in mornings im on msn alot)
Also, my girlfreind wants to be with me for all my
living hours, not that i complain, lol, but anyways, i
dont get much time 4 map making.

The stormwind terain will have the hills done too and
will be very wow style. I dont really use custom models
much in terain, but i can do it. The terain will go
into my campaign i am creating, and i never
protect my maps, so all who need a stormwind terain
when im done can help themselves.

i will submit some screenshots when im done, but
slight bits of it are giving me hassel.

p.s: when you post on these forums, arange your text
like I am doing here, it is much more easy to read
and people dont have to scroll accross to read it
(which gets very annoying!)

 

[Rui]

Lol! The yellow kid is fun.

-Rui

 

[james1654]

how long is cityscape terain contest for? it will
take me a long while to finish my terain, because its
hard to have to do every detail of stormwind that
there is. It will probably take me over 10 more dayd
to do, will be finished in november. The reason im
spending so long on it is because its not made
especcially for a terain contest, ot will be part of
my campaign.

p.s: rui, stop writing pointless short posts
like "yellow kid is fun" you are only doing it to get
ur post counter up. very lame!

 

[Herio-san]

lol im glad u like the giant yellow kid haha its supposed to be god.

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

Ah ,reminds me of angel arena,
when they had that giant
infant with too many auras,
I think that the archmage might
have a better effect but the
kid makes me laugh.

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

Town Square

 

[Rui]

how long is cityscape terain contest for?

Until I see that there are enough terrains.

p.s: rui, stop writing pointless short posts
like "yellow kid is fun" you are only doing it to get
ur post counter up. very lame!

No.

Town Square

Oww that's pawnage lad! But aren't the doors too small?

-Rui

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

all of the hidden city buildings
in the WE have doors that are too
small. I would have used the regular
city buildings, but these fit more
with the rest of the terrain.

 

[Rui]

I guess you are right. Very good terrain.

-Rui

 

[Elthanor]

Im not sure if at the right tileset.. cant tell... looks maybe like cityscape... but here is my Ashenvale one. took me a while.

And what is the tile set at the momment?

 

[Waldbaer]

Nice screenshots! Very well done, especially concerning the details. The only problem I see is the difference between the world trees and the bridges along them and the rest. Looks a bit like two scales in one picture... but anyways it looks very good.

We're officially at the "Cityscape" tileset at the moment.
But I think there's nobody anymore who wants to submit one and we should go on to the next tileset or make "Cityscape", "Dalaran" and "Dalaran-Ruins" simultaneously, because they are all town tilesets and need to be handled in nearly the same way. At least the first two of them. So what shall we do, master Rui?

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

I thought this thread was dead.
I have already donealaran,
Dalaran Ruins, Dungeon, Sunken
Ruins, and Village Fall.

 

[Waldbaer]

Dead? Hmm, may be. If Rui again answers, it's not dead anymore.
Let's wait a few days for him and if he doesn't answer, there are two options: we let this thing die or we go on ourselves and for this at first we should make some clear rules. That's the main problem of this contest, the theme is too undefined. And there is no ranking. What's a contest without ranking?! :x

 

[Toadcop]

not bad ! but you are using imported models it's no so right to do ! For example i can make whole terrain in 3dsmax and import and use as doodad, to create a wonderfull terrain ! For realy contest all creators must use default models and textures !

 

[seruk]

Uh.. he's not?

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

All of these models that are imported are
up for public download. Download the
ultimate terraining map from wc3campaigns.
Or go to the hubb.

 

[Waldbaer]

We already had maps with many more imported models in it in this contest, I think it's OK in this case. Which other custom model except of this wood column (don't know how I should call it) did he actually use? Ah, there's possibly the big house in the seventh picture... I think you guys simply underestimate what is possible using only the original war3models if you combine them efficiently, like Elthanor did it. 8)

But if we make new rules we really should add the one to use only the original War3/TFT-Models.

 

[Rui]

Nice. And no not rly lol we're on Cityscape.
