This is very interesting. I'm not sure how I've never seen it before. Anyway, I'll do my best to get something done as soon as I can.

 

[Strydhaizer]

I shoulda join here

This is very interesting.

 

[fladdermasken]

Map looks sweet as tits!

~ fladder in ~

 

[Codric]

I would join tho not a very good terrainer, but I would just be glad to partecipate.

 

[GreeN!X]

This is very interesting.

Indeed. I'll try but I don't think I can create an amazing or even a decent result.

 

[Celaquil]

Well, Codric and Hera.

The point isn't exactly that I'll be striking you down with lightning if your terrains doesn't match the quality of the best terrainers the hive ever produced. It's about doing something fun, competing with others and possibly learning something at the end of it all, if you fancy listening to whatever advice I'll be shooting out of my arse when pretending to judge your entries.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Well, Here's my first WiP. Inspiration for this came from Heroes of M&M

Birdy

 

[Stare Cat]

Well, I tried lol

[Strydhaizer]

Are we allowed to make our own map that using your suggested terraining map ?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

@Stryderzero, just read the rules, they'll explain everything.
@Stare Cat, remove the giant rocks imo, and make the canyon more detailed.

Thats fast guys and sweet terrain, I am going with what every guy would probally go for, saldy I dont have a wip yet good luck other contestants!

edit: Well sorry to say I have to drop out , but I still wish all the others luck! Keep them coming guys.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Stryderzero, you are not allowed to change anything already in the map and you've removed the preset doodads.

 

[Celaquil]

Are we allowed to make our own map that using your suggested terraining map ?

No, that'd remove the entire purpose of this contest.

Also, from the WIP's you've presented I'm not going to say I'm entirely sure that's exactly what you did, but I can see that you deleted those doodads I'd placed and that also is against the rules:

You're not allowed to:

- Use any other camera than "The Picture" nor can you change any settings on the camera, or alter it's position -
- Change anything physical already in the map: Doodads and terrain alike -
- Edit the terrain in any other way with any kind of Photoshop programs in no other way than just to add a small signature to your terrain -

edit: ah crap, for some reason my stupidity had deleted the camera
can anyone tell me what the information on the camera was

Target X: -829,09
Target Y: -25787,60
Z Offset: 500
Rotation: 96,05
Angle of Attack: 347,84
Distance: 4707,64
Roll: 5,00
Field of View: 70,00
Far Clipping: 10000

There you go, and also. Looking good people, keep working on them entries

PS: No response from the admins, yet.

 

[PROXY]

He didn't delete the present doodads, he hid them behind the others.

Anyway, looking good so far guys.

[Strydhaizer]

This is original, i transfered my work to the suggested terraining map. Here it is

(I can even show you the map that this is original , i wish i will not be disqualified to this game. Thanks for guiding me guys)

 

[Celaquil]

No problem, I see no rule-breaking content in that final screenshot.
- I might advice you do something to the sky, though.

All terrainers never forget to add sky to their terrain.
That terrain is still in WIP , obviously.

Thanks BTW.

~~~
Newer WIP
Added Trees
Added some decoration to the (Bridge?)

WTF

 

[PROXY]

Reminds me of The witcher 2, in the 3rd act. I suggest adding a bit more tile variaton in front, more scraps, old books, rocks and stuff (I guess you would have done that anyway )

 

[Strydhaizer]

I used a flat floor doodad for that , thats not a tile. no tile variations required.


Also , thanks for the suggestion sir



~~~
My Quick Fix

Trees added

My Quick Fix

 

[PROXY]

I'm aware of that, still it needs more variation ^^.

 

[Strydhaizer]

How bout this sir proxy? (Or anyone else who see this)

Waddya think?

Logs
>Added HQ bushes beside (under the trees)
>Fixed the Castle Window
>Changed the Castle Door
>Added Glow as a fog (One of the best suggestion from Giles on one of my last terrain)
>Added Ubercloud and Stormsphere (Thanks to Flad for sky tutorial)
>Added Broken Bricks (as requested by Proxy) Sorry but i have no variation for that
And Many More. Cant mention it all , maybe this is my entry for this contest

 

[PROXY]

Looks much better, now I suggest switching to night, adding some yellow/orange lights to the fireplace so it lights up the surrounding ruins, whilst the ones in the background and the forest nearby stay rather dark + stars at the sky. Would look great I think and give that... bard ambience.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Oh , i tried it already , damn my work s*cks , i added lights , lanterns , stars and ..... sorry but i cant do that Just give me some suggestions to that picture only

Maybe swithching to dawn , its more possible

 

[fladdermasken]

NOOOOO!

I need to do drone work in the Object Editor! D:

Also, I have a weird issue with the map. Objects that have been visible before suddenly disappear when I place more of them. Any one else?

EDIT: Okay nevermind, it was just one specific doodad that did that.

 

[Celaquil]

Which one?

 

[fladdermasken]

NordmannFir(Summer).mdl

 

[fladdermasken]

Blerfdoublepost.

First kindasorta really early WIP from me. Just to keep things going.

 

[Strydhaizer]

I shoulda improve mine , didnt expect that flad joined XD.
BTW , are we allowed to submit two entries XD (Just asking)since only few of here joined this contest

Maybe this will be my entry , sorry but classes starts . Maybe ill be inactive so maybe this will be my entry

Logs
>Improved Clouds
>More grasses beside the screen
>Fixed the Glow Fog
>Added Crates at the front of the window

StryderZero's Entry

 

[Celaquil]

NordmannFir(Summer).mdl

Hmm, I might have to consult M0rb on that.

Also, looking good thus far people. I'm interested in knowing where that flora is from, flad, I'm sure I know but either way, just tell me.
- They're intriguing.

 

[fladdermasken]

The pines are from Asian Garden or whatever (tobyfat's map). Called PineTree01s.mdl. The other trees are ForestTree01b.mdl from his island map.

[Amargaard]

Stryderzero, do you think you could add some kind of mountains in the back? I know height-variation is forbidden, but use some rock-models or somehing?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Stryderzero, do you think you could add some kind of mountains in the back? I know height-variation is forbidden, but use some rock-models or somehing?

Maybe , but i think im done already
Thanks for the suggestion sir
Finally someone care on my terrain

EDIT : Actually theres a mountain behind , but it looks really invisible

~~~
Oh i noticed that this thread is now stickied , finally

 

[Celaquil]

Yes, I've been haggling Pharaoh about those things, it should be up on the notice board soon and it's been stickied, I've also been promised a certain reputation award to the winner, the exact amount is still not agreed upon but it should be better than any I could give.

Also, in terms of terrain elevation. If the ground is un-touched, flat as from gecko, you are at liberty to change it up as much as you want. The rules only prevent you from anything ALREADY changed around. You're also at liberty to extend the map bounds, should you want an extra layer of mountains behind the already existing horizon.

EDIT : Actually theres a mountain behind , but it looks really invisible

Thinning out the fog might help on that front.

 

[fladdermasken]

You can also save it by adding a light source behind the mountains, e.g. cloudspheres.

Also I bestow a thousand curses upon my creativity gland right now.

 

[fladdermasken]

Minions, do my twisted buildings!

I didn't really know what to do, so I just kinda went with it...

I call this one "Minions, do my twisted buildings!"

Still might play around more with lighting and fog settings but it's pretty much my final.

 

[johannesr]

Keiji you haven't even judged The Picture #4 entries.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Abnormal Version
My Terrain is now under construction again , just saw flads terrain and it really looks immortal.

Gonna fix everything
Just give a criticism to this edited version
Will change everything later

As requested/suggested by Sir PROXY

, whilst the ones in the background and the forest nearby stay rather dark + stars at the sky. Would look great I think and give that... bard ambience.

Changed DNC , Fog

Older Update V3

Moon Added

Older Update V4

New Update

Next Update

[fladdermasken]

Looking smexy Stryder. See if you can pull off that half moon stunt Keiji and I did for our co-terrain.

Keiji you haven't even judged The Picture #4 entries.

Think it was scrapped. Wasn't there like a total of 2 entries?

 

[Strydhaizer]

~ another new study again. Im still guessing how you do it

 

[Celaquil]

Keiji you haven't even judged The Picture #4 entries.

It was, as per fladded, scrapped.
- Too few entries.

Now, don't bicker about the past and get to terraining!
You lovely terrainer, you.

 

[Binsu]

Interesting, will join here =)

 

[Strydhaizer]

I really thank sir proxy for helping , without him , my terrain will be just simple terrain. BTW , heres some little changes.

Older Version

Older Version 2

New Version
Fixed the lighting
Added Glow
Added Fences at the lower ground

Newer Version
Fixed the Glow
Fixed the omnilight distance and color

Will be my final wip , i mean this will be my entry since theres no more criticisms and suggestions for this

 

[johannesr]

Now, don't bicker about the past and get to terraining!
You lovely terrainer, you.

I'm probably too busy the next few weeks, but who knows, maybe i'll get time/motivation.

 

[Celaquil]

Now, that... That's the lovely part about this contest.

I happen to be the host, and at entire liberty to pick and choose my clien...
- Deadline date, so unless you make something the following few weeks, I might just be inclined to exceed the currently
unset deadline to suit whenever I get enough entries, by the people I want, to do a good haul of final scoring and reviewing.

I'd love it for good ol' terrainers and new alike to be a part of this contest

 

[fladdermasken]

I can enter thrice, problem solved.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Hmmmmm, I think I'll restart my entry next week.
