The Picture, take 2!

[X.e.r.e.X]

I should have made one more lightspot to the background also, but whatever

 

[Celaquil]

Wha wha what?! Ok, if XereX have entered then I just HAVE to enter..

 

[~Void~]

Haha... you guys are like rivals
An even match, too.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I saw this coming!

You should use the Blizzard's crystal thing instead of that imported one

 

[Mechmap]

I like it alot banana and as Xerex says it would probably look better with the blizzard crystals instead of the imported ones.

 

[~Void~]

Yes, it would. The imported ones really don't look too good as ice, the only use I see for them is in caves.

 

[Celaquil]

When do you judge?

 

[~Void~]

Sunday.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Sunday.

For real? D:

Anyways, here's my entry.

EDIT:

- Did some changes.

 

[Gilles]

You're not supposed to post in anything but English Keiji.

The terrain ends a bit abruptly, but I get sick of seeing mountains in every terrain, so I'd either try something else or leave it. You could try and make the waterfall area the top of a mountain, and have the trees get lower as they get farther away, which would solve the distance thing.

 

[Celaquil]

True, I should think about fixing that. And for the language thing, its a comment to the picture, and not of any importance. Your getting sick of mountians o.o

What else would there be to terrain? <.< I mean, most natural pictures got some sort of mountians with them

 

[Gilles]

nature - Google Image Search
They don't always have to be there.

 

[Dr. House]

searching nature on google is a nice way to get inspiration i think

 

[Celaquil]

True indeed Gilles, maybe I'll think about it But given the point of angle there isnt really much I can do with it... <.<

 

[Gilles]

Instead of that last hill going up slightly, drop it off, and scale the doodads accordingly.

 

[viiva]

[rainbow]Here's an update[/rainbow]

 

[thegreatsmite]

you shold tint the red rocks blue instead of getting rid of all their color, so they dont stnd out as much.

 

[viiva]

I tried, but I can only get them dark red or purplish, 'cause their base colour is red.

 

[Celaquil]

Yeah, you should considre covering them more Or, wait, I didnt say that! >.>

Anyways, it looks much better now, a bit bare, but better.

 

[~Void~]

I think it would be ok if you replace them with one of the other rock spires that has the same model base (Icecrown, Outland, Barrens). I suggest a tinted barrens.

 

[thegreatsmite]

this might be my final, unless i get time tomorow before the judging.

 

[~Void~]

I think you should get rid of the white fog in the woods, leave the woods really dark.

 

[Gilles]

I like it.

 

[Celaquil]

Hah, there should be a terrain cotest with the theme "The Picture" having somewhat the same rules as this little competition which is so great

 

[thegreatsmite]

so Void... what time zone do you live in becasue where i live, its almost tuesday and i still dont see the contest results ? oh and i dont know, i think the white fog adds to the eerie atmosphere, makes you think, what making that happen, oh theres an undead cascade right there soooo...

 

[~Void~]

Yeah, I have exams, and no time to judge. I'll do it tomorrow.

 

[Gilles]

Yeah, I have exams, and no time to judge. I'll do it tomorrow.

You sissy. Schools for chumps anyways.

 

[thegreatsmite]

Yeah, I have exams, and no time to judge. I'll do it tomorrow.

dont' worry, i know exactly how you feel :\ have a 4-page english essay to do over the enxt three days and i have some major tests comming up before winter break.. so its fine, i just wasn't sure

 

[raid1000]

hellolololo
this is my first outland pic (i dont really like outland terrains).
it seems im the only one who keept the original outland theme

 

[Celaquil]

Not really surprising that you were...
And I see the end of the world! o.o
And.. Idk, I think its a bit TOO red.. but meh..

 

[raid1000]

kk ill start a new design later
EDIT:
heres a new one, hope its better

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

You broke some rules there

"- Objects in the picture cannot be hidden via raising terrain or putting them behind things, or any other way."
"- Distinctive height variation must stay the same or similar."

Not sure about the last one, but it's up to ~Void~ to decide

 

[raid1000]

what exactly is hidden from sight?
and i didnt like those blobs left by void in the background
so i "improved" them

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

what exactly is hidden from sight?

The red rocks

 

[Celaquil]

Void said he's not going to me nazi about the rocks, hence, it wont matter, and their really not THAT well hidden either (I can still see them.) About the pic, its much better than the first one ^^

And no XereX he didnt violate the rule about hight.

 

[~Void~]

Judging:

Raid100: I like the fog/background. The rest is just ok, it seems like everything is in uniform clumps of doodads here and there. Clumping doodads is good, but not when you do it like that. [7/10]

thegreatsmite: I love the building. The forest is pretty nice, the dark fog really makes it look... dead... but the little white smokes really ruin it. [5.5/10]

bananaHUNT: I like the colors you used. The things around the pillars are really nice. The rest, well the rest you just can't see. [6/10]

Keiji: Looks a lot like something I would've made a few months ago. It's really nice, but it kinda has that "been done before" feel, seeing as those trees are used in 50% of terrains, the tileset is used in about 50% too, and the fog color in about 75%. Oh, and waterfalls... are overused. But the execution is very nice. [7/10]

XereX: Lol... too many doodads... the plants don't fit in... the ground fog fucking wrecks it... but the little explosions are cool x]

hawk_767: Um... everything is too big. You always do that too! It kinda spoils the epicness if the doodads are all made to be so big. It's also kinda empty and awkward feeling... [5/10]

Mr. Goblin: Mostly the same as what I said to Keiji. Everything feels like it's been used too many times before. The part I like, though, is the big evil tree guy. The only problem is that you put a glow doodad on his right side and we can see his ugly low-poly outline. [6.5/10]

Winnadarz! - Keiji, Raid100
2ndplace - Mr. Goblin
3rdplace - Nobody
Last Place - Everyone else

 

[raid1000]

well...
that was quick xD
and this is like the 4th time u screwed my name (Raid100"0" with 3 0) but that doesnt really matter

 

[Celaquil]

YEAH! EAT that bitches! Keiji won! (along with... Raid... <.<)
WIIIINNNERRR

 

[raid1000]

u should judge void so that 1 person has 1st place (not 2) and so on
now u gonna judge wich one of mines or keiji's is da best xD

 

[Dr. House]

ok now im just waiting for the next picture btw if i have to vote for a person to be at the first place i choose keiji even i dont realy like what he made its better than what raid1000 made atleast thats what i think ;P

 

[raid1000]

ye keiji has really nice atmosphere and all but mine has lets say a little more "deapth"
btw any new pictures? or maybe close this thread already.

 

[~Void~]

Oh come on, it's only been a day. I'll get around to it today.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

cool! second place

 

[~Void~]

I just did some height for ya. No doodads already placed this time. Be creative

 

[raid1000]

a yes uzumaky naruto spelpax for my map...
ich have ein problem with teh mapzor
when ich want to modify the terrain just a little it screwes everything and "the big hole" disapears

[~Void~]
