The Picture, take 2!

[3rgytr54]

Yea, there is no way this thread could go off topic.. Phff!

 

[~Void~]

Shh. It will only make it harder for me to get all the entries to judge.

By the way, I'm making it biweekly now, so you all have until saturday.

 

[3rgytr54]

Nice! just thought of a better way to do it...

 

[thegreatsmite]

Shoot, i still haven't got to work on it and i leave friday!

i'll have to figure somthng out...

 

[Hawkwing]

Shh. It will only make it harder for me to get all the entries to judge.

By the way, I'm making it biweekly now, so you all have until saturday.

You only have 1 infraction point. You shouldn't be banned.

 

[~Void~]

If I was actually banned would I be posting? :\

And again, let's not get off-topic.

 

[Sabertooth]

And on that note, it's saturday. Decision coming monday?

 

[~Void~]

I've already started judging, I'll finish by tomorrow night.

 

[Celaquil]

We'r waiting... <.<

 

[Dr. House]

is it ok if i join the new picture after the one you doing now?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

No!
Seriously.. You don't need to ask

 

[Dr. House]

:S why i cant join (and its sounds like your frustrating about what im asking isnt this a very normal question?)

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Seriously.. You don't need to ask

Read carefully...

 

[3rgytr54]

Anyway this is ~Void~'s thread, not X.e.r.e.X's (whats that word about words that are the same forwards and backwards.. like kayak and Hannah?)

 

[thegreatsmite]

i_brg_doom, you can join any piture at anytime, just dont post the wrong picture *stares at sythe-master*

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

(whats that word about words that are the same forwards and backwards.. like kayak and Hannah?)

Not gonna tell

 

[Celaquil]

I_brg_doom, its an open competition, hence, you can join whenever you want. And for Void to notice, its been one day since he said he were going to release the results! FIX!

 

[~Void~]

It's a palindrome.

Judgadar:

It's kinda plain and I don't like the dirt tile on the right, it kinda doesn't fit and it overlaps funny with the rocks. That can be changed by moving it to the left of the rock tile in the edit tileset menu. Also I think the rocks could be lowered a fair amount more, and made a bit bigger too. Rocks don't tend to sit on the ground that often, usually half or more of them is buried underground. I do, however, like how realistic it is otherwise, but it needs more work on the atmosphere.

I think you overdid it on the rockslides. They look pretty nice, but there are too many and they are kinda mechanical, if you know what I'm saying. Maybe it would be better to have some really large rocks that act kinda like cliffs and then the rockslides at the bottom. As usual, I do quite like the sky. The trees in the background could be much smaller and could be A HUGE FUCKING LOT denser (emphasis on fucking). In fact, all of the trees could be clumped a bit more because right now they are evenly spaced like this T T T T T which makes it look like a garden, when maybe they should be like this TT TTt ttT tT t T TtTTtT tTTttT T t (where t is a smaller tree and T is a tall tree)

Hmmm.... you're getting there I guess. I don't really like the mushroom tree model tbh. Also I think there's a LOT more you can do with outland tileset, try placing more rock spires and making cliffs out of them and such. It looks really good. Also, I think you could use more fog dynamics because everything is too clear right now and it lacks smoothness. Oh, I forgot...
FLOATING OBJECTS!!!! LOWER STUFF!

Very crowded. Could be a little simpler, or have the complexity form some kind of structured construct. I don't really have much else to say about it... well maybe it could be darker and have some fog dynamics but you don't really need to worry about that now... and I do love the sky.

Megafyr
I love the concept. Red and green aren't used that much together but you used them well and the atmosphere is excellent. The only thing I don't like is the shrooms. Good job to you.

Keiji
Quite well executed as far as placement goes, but the tinting is off and I'd say the scaling is too. It could also use some light/dark contrast (with smooth transitions of course) to balance out the color contrast. Not much more to say because it's rather simple... maybe that's not such a good thing?
6.5/10

Sabertooth
Same background problem. You shouldn't be able to see the LAND horizon if you're putting TREES there. right now it's like T__T__TT___Tt___t___T and it should be like this TTTtTTttTttTTTttTTTtT. Also, your tree model choice is kinda bad, city summer pines are basically the same as the ones you used except a lot higher resolution on the textures. The rest is very nicely done, except you need to bury your rocks a bit more and add some grass!
Also, and I know I did this too, here is some advice: Don't make your stuff similar to other things you've made! I can see it so clearly, the fog is a similar color, there are pine trees and rocks and ashenvale tileset, and that damn statue thing. Mix it up a bit

Hawk
I think it's too plain, and the trees are WAAAAY too big, everything in the f'ground is too big, everything is out of perspective. Size it down a bit
Really there isn't much to comment on here though, it's executed well enough but needs more content.

Raid100
Ok, it looks good, the sun is pretty nice (although it's a bit whitish when it should be more yellow/orange). The background's decent. Again, different tree textures... the ones you used are a bit patchy and the willows are fine but they need to be tinted darker because right now they are bright green like radioactive waste. Plus, the whole ashenvale-tileset-with-a-bit-of-village-and-blue-fog-and-pine-trees-and-one-kind-of-tree-that-isn't-a-pine-and-a-sun thing is getting kinda old. That might be partially my fault for starting that with my tutorial or even before that, but that's not the ONLY way to make terrains

[3rgytr54]

RRGGG me angry~~~~ 3rgytr54 doesn't like angry

Ok seriously, were are they?

EDIT: wow that was fast ~Void~

EDIT2: Hey, where am I? I want to know if I did better than last time..

 

[~Void~]

You're there.

 

[3rgytr54]

I wasn't at 5:11 (-5:00 GMT)

FLOATING OBJECTS!!!! LOWER STUFF!

wait what?

and yes I could have done more with that teslet just I'm not really familiar with it

 

[Naze]

Megafyr
I love the concept. Red and green aren't used that much together but you used them well and the atmosphere is excellent.

Green?

 

[~Void~]

Yes... green... grass is green 0.o

 

[thegreatsmite]

Red grass isn't green
--------------------------

so whens the next one gona begin

oh, and gj megaphyr!

 

[~Void~]

But the grass was green... or at least in the version I saw.

 

[Hawkwing]

The grass is a brownish green, it's not too noticeable, to be honest. But it's in no way red.

 

[Celaquil]

Grr... I've had it with this! Give us the next picture NOW!

 

[thegreatsmite]

The grass is a brownish green, it's not too noticeable, to be honest. But it's in no way red.

did i ever say that the grass in that picture was red.... 0.o

 

[viiva]

What do I have to do to get better Less detail?

 

[Revan(Rom)]

post all winnerpics in 1 page!

 

[~Void~]

What do I have to do to get better Less detail?

Not less, just smoother details and smoother transitions between details so they are only seen if you look closely, because right now the details are great but the picture in a whole lacks.

Anyway, new picture coming soon.

 

[2-P]

Also, and I know I did this too, here is some advice: Don't make your stuff similar to other things you've made! I can see it so clearly, the fog is a similar color, there are pine trees and rocks and ashenvale tileset, and that damn statue thing. Mix it up a bit

You're still doing it. T_T
I went batshit when I saw those night elf trees in the "you know which" terrain. T__T
The same dozen of doodads for 80% of your terrains. T___T

 

[~Void~]

Well then make me some better models
All the other ones suck! I'm really picky when it comes to models... and don't say elveswood because those are terrible xP Except the dead trees... which are amazing and even better.

And besides I was talking about another bad habit I had

New picture here.

 

[3rgytr54]

Um.. yea, I'm going to wait for an idea...

 

[Hawkwing]

That'll be hard to formulate an idea for. But here's mine, which I wont be doing, but it's an idea which I would do if I were going to participate, build a city over top of the blocks, similar to Gondor from LotR with several levels and such.

 

[~Void~]

That's a really nice idea... when I made it I was thinking hanging gardens of babylon except more abstract

 

[thegreatsmite]

i got another idea (also one im not doing) put a LARGE rock or tree in front of half the screen the covers up the abstract object 0.o

 

[~Void~]

That's against the rules though

 

[Hawkwing]

If you made a tree big enough to cover up all of the stuff on the left then the stream, in comparison to the tree, would be no more than a trickle of water from a puddle up the hill.

 

[~Void~]

Haha, that too.

 

[Celaquil]

Hahaha! Nice terrain! I love it, and I got a perfect idea! Though compared to you guys, I wont reveal it, seeing as to I will execute it myself <.<

 

[~Void~]

Good luck

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I'm not joining this one :S
Nice and unique idea, but doesn't really fit for me

 

[Celaquil]

Chicken... xD

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

xD kiddo

 

[thegreatsmite]

Hahaha! Nice terrain! I love it, and I got a perfect idea! Though compared to you guys, I wont reveal it, seeing as to I will execute it myself <.<

lets not all try to do rivers again... oh wait

Here my first attempt at this...uh...abstract tarrain.
Does it even work?
WIP

 

[~Void~]

Not too bad I guess, but it's kinda odd how the leaves are coming right out of the tree trunk... and you should tint your ferns and the smaller trees darker.

 

[3rgytr54]

It is better than those that have posted, all of them.

Mine will be epic! *cough* cough* *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*

Nice quote there ~Void~ it is ah... original

 

[~Void~]

What, my sig? :|

 

[Celaquil]

Here's my entry, might not be the final.. though..
