Terraining Mini-Contest: Creative Challenge

[Celaquil]

Flad, azurot, chaos, OG... Gilles? Where's them WIPs at?
- No, really Gilles, make an entry, for me

 

[fladdermasken]

I just can't get the juice flowing with these references. D:

Azurot already handed in his WIP by the way. Anyways, in short hand I will probably try something but it will probably look like piss.

It is almost Easter. I have like half a week off. We shall see.

You guys do remember that I was never actually very good at this, right? If I do anything, I will show you regardless what it may do to my pride.

 

[Kazeon]

@heinvo:
I think yours looks a little bit....

dull..
looks too sharp, needs some fog effects to make it smoother..

you are a badass terrainer so I guess it's just unfinished wip so nvm

 

[Heinvers]

Also where's Cihparg? Gilles give it a try. I'm sure you'll make something good

 

[A Void]

I'm not sure I will still participate in this contest. I am very busy lately since we revived War3 Legends.. I hope everything is okay if I de-sign.

 

[Heinvers]

So this will be my last WIP I'll post before putting down my final entry.
Feel free to C&C, so yeah it's still mehh.
Edit: It's full of mistakes, that's why it looks blehh.

 

[Edge45]

, cool

 

[tobyfat50]

Omg Heinvers, those are my models, I am becoming your bride and you have my vote! The only thing I will complain about is the dirt texture, it's too plain, simple and clean - Does not match the rocks!!!
Edit: *Things missing: sun flare, more variations on the tiles, more buildings , more details. I'll wait and see the final version, do that and I am probably voting!

But still I'll have to look at the other entries also...

WUT? no way.

thanks toby, I'll see you at the altar

 

[tobyfat50]

Actually I might see you at the battlefield. I might consider joining but...

~(Second image on my mind)~

 

[Heinvers]

Bring it on baby

 

[Chen]

I'll change my image, I chose the 5th.

 

[Celaquil]

I'll soon be setting a deadline for this contest, so I'd like to entice anyone with plans of entering
this contest to get your gears greased and ready for action. You've been idle for too long.

 

[Heinvers]

More entries from guys such as Chaos or Fladder would be nice. Deadline? o oh, well I am lazy to finish mine...

 

[Chaos.]

It seems like every time I plan on working on it, something comes up that keeps me busy. I am still trying to pull out an entry though. We'll see what happens.

 

[fladdermasken]

Hello. I revel in the laxness of not doing anything for this contest. Here is a picture I managed to not find whilst not working on my entry.

 

[Edge45]

I already have mine in there, and thats the final one
uhm, fladder, the image is broken

 

[Celaquil]

You're such a tease.

 

[BranaR]

Perhaps I will choose the third image.

And here is my perverted representation

 

[Strydhaizer]

omfg! The cliff looks perfect!

 

[BranaR]

Thank you. I tried)

 

[Heinvers]

Thank you. I tried)

You mean you succeeded.

 

[BranaR]

You mean you succeeded.

Yes:d

 

[Celaquil]

I'm curious, what rock models did you use to make those cliffs?

 

[Veritas 117]

I'm curious, what rock models did you use to make those cliffs?

I'm also wondering, I was going to guess Tobyfat's but I'm not sure.

Also I like the statue on the left side, it blends in so well I didn't even see it the first time, it makes it look like it was carved out of the stone.

Probably from Starcraft 2 Pack , i saw those sharp cliffs there.

 

[fladdermasken]

Alright bitches, WIP time.

 

[Heinvers]

Pretty good. it was about time fladder

 

[Gilles]

I really don't like the models for those winged beasts, but I can't think of an alternative sadly.

Side note:

Can the previous mini contest be removed from the stickies? Why is it even there?

 

[fladdermasken]

Inorite. Probably won't include them in my final.

Most likely my final. One with dragons, one without.

Enjoy.

EDIT: Oh bleh, double post.

 

[Celaquil]

You referring to this: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...ni-contests-victorious-fladdermasken-222072/??

That's not a mini-contest thread, it's a hall-of-fame for the mini-contest victors,
sort of a track record thingie, I don't know, it was Pharaoh's idea back when we
didn't have a terrain moderator.

I'm not sure the threads sits 100% right with me, so I guess, if people voice for
it to be removed, I could be swayed to desticky it.

 

[Gilles]

Oh, I didn't realize it was multiple contests listed.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Inorite. Probably won't include them in my final.

Most likely my final. One with dragons, one without.

Enjoy.

EDIT: Oh bleh, double post.

If the dragons are using white.blp, why not give them their original texture to make it more lively? The pose, however, is what concerns me the most; unless told, you cannot tell what they are.

The metal parts of the structure in front are overlapping.

Although i realize you made a distortion effect to convey higher depth of field, the tree on the right is not proportional.

You may also want to use the Black Glow model on the posterior part of the rocks, in the middle of the shot. This will hide the unlucky face of the model that's popping out and at the same time add some necessary shadow.

 

[Gekigengar]

Posting to subscribe.

Might join if I have the time, or if Toby pitched in.
(I wanted to compete at least once against him )

It seems really fun!

Even though I felt discouraged already looking at the level of the competition o.o

A contest like this isn't about wining or losing, it's about improving with the promise of a
thorough review provided by... Me! So, if you want my opinions, and you want to
challenge yourself, I urge you to partake, I really do.

Also, for everyone's notice, I'll be setting the deadline now, it's as follows: 16/06/14 (dd/mm/yy)
- Two weeks from now.

Happy terraining!

 

[Celaquil]

Also, for the sake of avoiding any bullshit with pricks who'd like to call "outrage" at the fact
that fladdermasken and BranaR is using doodads created after the launch of the contest:

I'm hereby sanctioning all doodads from Toby's Sc2 Conversion Pack for this contest.
- Deal with it.

It is not about winning or losing for me either, it is about not being able to meet up to the standard of others.
(I guess I phrase it wrongly,
the "Discouragement" is about me losing confidence of my skills,
looking at the level of talents others have displayed, rather than losing my interest in entering.)

Seems like the deadline is too close, it is impossible for me to partake in this event x)
(I still have exams and assignments to do until then.)

Good luck guys!

Yeah I got that feeling "Discouragement" last contest, but what the heck, just participating to do how you love to terrain

WIP 1


Idea sorta just popped when I was browsing through the new UTMs. I'll just continue tomorrow since it's pretty late here. But what do you guys think?

I chose the same image flad did and I'm planning some kind of statue to put in place of those dragon thingies.

Well , i guess you're using my TM. Textures looks blurry right now. You must replace that low quality texture to high quality , download the texture here http://xgm.guru/p/wc3/fantasy-environment-cave , it is in the pack.

Also , its too rocky and watery , and the building in the left took half of the camera , must minimize it a bit.

 

[GreeN!X]

Final I guess since I have no idea what to do with it anymore. I wasn't sure what was so watery so I didn't touch the water much. I was going to put some kind of water creature there, maybe an orca, but.. meh..

 

[Heinvers]

Those cranes look kind of odd there. They seem like giants next to your landscape (or am I missing something?).
Edit: the pipe closest to the camera makes the water loose depth.

 

[Strydhaizer]

It looks technological scifi mixed in fantasy , and watery :/ Those pipes at the bottom looks ,,, nah

By the way , i like those peacocks <3 sweet

 

[GreeN!X]

They're statues. Just imagine they're like the statue of liberty to the future people.

I'm still looking for stuff to replace them but it looks fine for me atm.

EDIT: too much water? :/

 

[Celaquil]

Where did you find those crane statues, GreeN!X?

 

[Heinvers]

EDIT: too much water? :/

Yes it's a monochrome blue everywhere, that's why it looks so watery right now.

No excuses for not finishing it
