The Picture #3

[Oziris]

Another update! :O

 

[Bernkastel]

Ewks, That's way better than mine :<

 

[fladdermasken]

By the way, is there an award icon included in this contest like in The Picture #2?

 

[Cihparg]

Oziris, are you going to calculate shadows?

 

[Celaquil]

By the way, is there an award icon included in this contest like in The Picture #2?

I'm somewhat confused, to my reckoning there never was one, nor is one for The Picture contests, and not in the second one no... >.>

Unless you are talking about the Mini Contest hosted with "The Picture" as a theme, then that one probably had an icon, but that was an official contest, so no, there will not be one, not planing on it at least.

 

[L2love]

This is more of a fun contest no rewards in this I believe.

Alright, and I was refering to the mini contest, yes...

Well whatever, your well is a fine well as well and you bloody well know so.

...

I should have my first WIP up shortly.

 

[Oziris]

I've calculated the shadows and I think I'm done.

 

[Celaquil]

Well whatever, your well is a fine well as well and you bloody well now so.

know*

Anyways, sounding good, and looking great Oziris

 

[The_Olorin]

Heres my another WIP in early progress.

Heres my another WIP in early progress.

As far as I'm concerned, that tile has no business as a road.
Unless that's a placeholder, I'd suggest getting rid of it :3

It's interesting though, besides that tile of course, I'll give you that.

know*

Thank you for correcting me old chap.
I am oblivious however as to how this insignificant blunder of mine would affect my outstanding cool.

...

Regardless, 'tis time for an early and first 'work in progress' I dare say.
Do inform me if I've broken any rules.

 

[Oziris]

Looks sweet fladdermasken! I just don't like the rope bridge.

 

[Bernkastel]

Vewy scawy

 

[XPQJ]

this looks fun, I'm not really a good terrain, but if there is available spots left I would like to join

 

[Celaquil]

"available spots"?
- There is no limit as to how many people can participate

 

[Cihparg]

Nice progress guys!
Also Oziris, I really like the background of your terrain, but the front is missing something... I mean, the background is a lot more "detailed" than the front.

 

[Boombladoom]

Amg you guys did a great job,i think i'm already late...and seeing your progress so far makes me feel poor...anyhow i got here my first wip.

 

[XPQJ]

this is my first time making a terrain to just serve as an image D:
anyway heres my first WIP

 

[Bernkastel]

I somehow feel sad for first timers or persons new to terraining. :s

 

[XPQJ]

I didnt like the bridge there WIP 2

I somehow feel sad for first timers or persons new to terraining. :s

was it that bad D:

 

[PROXY]

I like it very much XPQJ, though you should use other trees. Take some of the UTM.
Keep working on it, I'm shure the result will be great

 

[XPQJ]

thanks , I will definatly look into better trees, the problems I've been seeing with the UTM trees is that they don't fit as well with the rocks as the ashenvale trees, I might try to fiddle with the UTM trees tinting and overlap the leaves with a standard tree. IDK, I only just started still a lot more framework needs to be done; since I cannot modify the terrain, does anyone know of a good water texture, that I could use to make a lake?

 

[Boombladoom]

Wow i hope i can finish this before the end of the contest.
By the way...i am the only one doing undergroud stuff?Anyhow this is my WIP 2:

 

[elredir]

i think im joining too,kinda late tho
wip:

really having a hard time spinning my head around this picture concept...really test your imagination(which im fairly lacking),i hope i can finish the darn thing in time

Look into the UTM (again ) and search for the model "waterplane.mdx"
It looks quite awsome, and is transparent also

 

[fladdermasken]

Is it considered cheating to use alpha tiles?

 

[Bernkastel]

If i am not incorrect there is an alpha tile in the tiles that you get at the beginning

 

[fladdermasken]

So then using it like this is acceptable?

 

[Bernkastel]

I believe so, i cant tell if i am right though :x

 

[Celaquil]

Bah, well. There isn't anything rule-breaking about it, so I guess it's allowed. Though, I dont know wether I am a super fan of the use, since it alters the proportions of the terrain quite a lot... Then, you can do that with doodads nonetheless, so yeah.

Allowed.

 

[Bernkastel]

Too bad that you dont like using it ^^

 

[fladdermasken]

Allowed.

This was sort of why I asked about it.

Regardless, I might ignore that idea for this contest and I'll upload this on the side later, as I sort of like the way it looks.
Perhaps I could come up with something to keep the background intact, hence maintaining the original view.

...

I'm sort of inconclusive so I'll see where things goes.

 

[Boombladoom]

Okay i made some progress with the pic...now i have to think how i can fill the empty space.
Here's my WIP 3:

 

[Oziris]

I'm not a fan of that fire. =/

 

[XPQJ]

yeah the fire seems kinda stand alone right now, I think it would look a little better with something at the base of the fire separating it from the tiles and making it look a little less spam like; I am new so don't take my advice too seriously ^^.

Well, I still have a lot of work to do but. . . WIP3:

 

[PROXY]

Oh :/
It doesn't look that good anymore. You shouldn't make the background trees that big, do it like in your wip 2. this way, the "lake" would be much bigger and everything would look better. But the tree models are difently better.

 

[Bernkastel]

Is that... Is that a ship in a lake?

 

[XPQJ]

Is that... Is that a ship in a lake?

supposed to be xD (i am not too good ;P)

 

[Bernkastel]

Well, only thing that actually bothers me is that, why would someone put a ship, in a lake

 

[XPQJ]

idk its made of stone if that makes any more sense

 

[Bernkastel]

I see.. Then there's atleast some point in it ^^

 

[XPQJ]

yeah i just didnt like that space empty and needed something to fill it haha

Edit: this look any better with the trees ;o?

 

[Belgarath]

gasp pant splutter out of shape

 

[Oziris]

Belgarath, the trees and the tiles, they just don't go together. A big difference in quality. =/
I suggest you make them bigger, not making the closes part of the terrain look far away.

 

[Boombladoom]

So i have to admit that i don't have what i want...i tried a idea that was good at the beginning...but now i'm out of inspiration...i made a few improvements.Anyhow this might be my final entry if i don't get a big idea until the end of the contest,and i'm kinda disappointed by my work.

 

[Oziris]

Is that monster boarding?

 

[Bernkastel]

Is that monster boarding?

I didnt even notice it before you mentioned =D. But monstews are scawy dont talk about them, or i am going to pee in my pants.

 

[Boombladoom]

Is that monster boarding?

What do you mean?

 

[Bernkastel]

Well, i believe he means that it looks like your shade there has a board, so.. Monster boarding.

 

[fladdermasken]

gasp pant splutter out of shape

I must say I quite like the tiles, except for perhaps that really lumpy grass tile which is completely bugging me.
Especially the rough dirt tile goes really well with the scenery.

It'll be fun to see which direction you'll go
