[Deleted member 212788]

xD, thanks. I like the dogs xD

EDIT:
Is it a problem if i make the WiP from a different angle each time ?

Nope!

Btw, WIP 5:

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Love the smoke! definitely makes the atmosphere darker

 

[Sin'dorei300]

What else to add?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Maybe make the fog a tad bit blueish ?

EDIT:
WiP #5 - this is actually very close to what I am aiming for

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Other than that?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Small details ?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Like what?

EDIT:

Great!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Well, Add some of the trees which are seen in the background, add some dirt textures to make it seem more natural, Make the keep behind the buildings look more majestic as seen in the pictures, add some of the hanging/broken signs, add working chimneys. - That's enough ?

EDIT:
I'm thinking if calling my terrain "Sunset Bridge"

 

[Sin'dorei300]

I'm thinking if calling my terrain "Sunset Bridge"

Yeah!

EDIT: WIP 6:

What do u think?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

It looks cool but the keep is covered by the smoke, maybe a bit less smoke ?

EDIT:
My bad, It's not the smoke but the keep is too far away.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Any suggestions for what else to add?

 

[Amargaard]

I'm entering with this pic :)

 

[Deleted member 212788]

@Amargaard, I can't wait to see your (WiP)s
@Sin'dorei, I will act like yoda and tell you this - To your advantage, the picture you should use

EDIT:
WiP #6

 

[AIagremm]

Am, I'm surprised.

 

[Amargaard]

So Am I

First WiP

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Looks cool, Keep up the good work

 

[Amargaard]

Thanks, yours too. Here's my next WiP - I took freedom to put slightly more life into the boring fall landscape

Second WiP

By the way, when does this contest end?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

@Amargaard, About the bridge, you can check the "advanced terraining tutorial" for the part on rotation. you can rotate the piece in a certain way. Also, the contest ends on 10th August. Finally, here's WiP #7

 

[HOooDy]

Change the trees it doesn't fit to the environment.

 

[HammerFist132]

I am so lazy. I will try to do it.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Change the trees it doesn't fit to the environment.

These were the ones that best fit the ref. picture. Will check for better ones though.

 

[Bernkastel]

Allright, gentlemen. I will post my first wip that I worked on this pleasant night. It's based on this scene from the anime Hellsing Ultimate.

It'll feature Big Ben being destroyed by Deus Ex Machina (the zeppelin) with modified V-1 Rockets!

Here it is

Oh, and am I allowed to put a swastika on Deus Ex Machina? Just asking, so I know what to do with it.

 

[sonofjay]

I thought the reference should be a warcraft 3 place, but it looks cool,

 

[EtikS]

Holy shit bernkastel this is epic!!

 

[AIagremm]

Burn Big Ben, buuuuurn!

 

[Bernkastel]

Another wipszor from me. It's been awfully quiet here now. I hope that nobody died.

Deus Ex Machina is starting to shape out.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it when you finish it

 

[Bernkastel]

Thank you ~!

Ofcourse I didn't manage to go to sleep because I wanted to do this! I am still quite unsure what to do with it though.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I shall call this piece;
Ad Victoriam Deus Ex Machina

The wip, yes yes.

And I'd expect to see more entries, this place doesn't look that active right now.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Welll, there are around 3-4 or maybe even more mini-contests atm so it's hard to post everywhere

 

[Kingz]

I will have to pass up on this mini contest.
Sadly Zephyr and Legendary Fight 2012 took too much time from me.

Good luck to all contestants.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Snif snif. Hm, smells like a legendary terrain
Excellent job.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Here's WiP #8 from me . I will name this terrain; Sunset Bridge

 

[Pharaoh_]

You have to decrease the size of the post lanterns on the bridge, they are unnaturally big for this distance of the camera.
I would advise you to remove the default sky and play with the skyboxes (which you already have) and the glow (Glow.mdx model from UTM).
Sink in the rocks a bit more, because they look like they are rolling on that hill.

Go to Map Options and untick the "Show water waves on rolling shores".

Increase the size of the sun and if you indeed plan to use one, darken at least the doodads behind the bridge.

I would recommend Rondo's wall series over your current models.

 

[Bernkastel]

For the sky, first throw in a stormsphere then start putting some cloud models on it.
Play a bit with their tints and then continue making it look better with glow models.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. I'll try to fix the sky as it has proven most difficult so far

EDIT: Here's WiP #9

 

[sonofjay]

Hey, is this contest benefits the extension to all contest after the legendary fight round 1? I might join on this one.

 

[FRENGERS]

Here's WiP #8 from me . I will name this terrain; Sunset Bridge

Humm.. Not bad, but go with unique and different one, remember don't steal ideas or imagination from other

 

[Deleted member 212788]

This has been done before ? I didn't see it anywhere

EDIT: Here's my next and probably last WiP

 

[Amargaard]

I can't work on my terrain for a couple of days, so I considered finding a new picture and start all over again

Humm.. Not bad, but go with unique and different one, remember don't steal ideas or imagination from other

What do you mean dude? His terrain is completely unique

 

[Bernkastel]

Oh, I see. Good luck on that one then!

And ofcourse a bridge like that has been made countless of times but.. Oh.. Details ~!

 

[Pharaoh_]

Humm.. Not bad, but go with unique and different one, remember don't steal ideas or imagination from other

Creativity won't be a factor in the judging, as the theme has to do with a reference. Creativity in doodad placing.. well, that's another story!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Here's WiP #11. I've moved the sun and added a lot of glow effects as well as background details. What do you think ?

 

[Kingz]

The sky looks unnatural imo.
And the keep on the left gives out the impression it is shining?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

That's caused by the fog :/.

 

[Bernkastel]

I am not sure if you even used the stormsphere there, just put a big stormsphere behind everything, it can be black or whatever you want it to be. Get rid of the sky model, and make a few copies of the first cloud models, give them some different tinting colors.
And for the glows. When you use them, only put them with big sizes, as if they're small, you might get them creating a bit too bright spots here and there.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Ok, I'll look for the stormsphere again since i couldn't find it the first time. Thanks

EDIT: Nope, there is no stormsphere in UTM. Either that or I'm blind.

EDIT 2: I've redone the clouds, the sun and the Glows. Any better ?

 

[Bernkastel]

It's starting to look a lot better.

It's
Sky: Stormsphere - stormsphere.mdl.
I guess you are blind then. That sounds actually pretty bad for the fact that you're hanging out in the internet.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Dude, I looked through the cinematic stuff at least 10 times. There is no "sky" section. Only "Object" and "Particle". Is there a newer version of UTM I don't know about ? Here's what I use.

EDIT: It's a model . . . not a ready doodad . . . I feel like a moron.

 

[Bernkastel]

Actually it's a doodad in 3.0.
