First Pic: X.e.r.e.X!

Second Pic: Frostwhisper!

Third Pic: -SpiritHunter-!

Fourth Pic: Sabertooth!

Fift Pic: Ehm.. Keiji, I wasnt judging! (seriously, it WASNT me... <.< )

Remember... This is... THE PICTURE!!!

 

[FamousPker49]

Interesting concept. I'll give it a go.

EDIT: I'm done, and I didn't change any of the things, I just covered up ugly grass.

A Tauren overlooking his plains, wraught with destruction from the Centaur horde...

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I will give it a try later :O
EDIT: Ok it's done, but I have been kinda tired while making this cause I didn't sleep at all this night :S

 

[Dakho]

Came up with one. Tried to get away from the 'barrens' theme as much as possible.

Le Imagio De Magnifico et, Awesomeo?

 

[NinjasDontFight]

I tried my best, even though I'm a horrible terrainer.

EDIT: Re-Uploaded the picture. Not much any better though, I think Void will win though!

A human fleet slips undetected due to the absense of a lazy watcher.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

You broke a rule, NinjasDontFight D:
Things not to change:

- Removal of the doodads allready places.
- Camera Angle.
- Allready made hight settings.

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Well be nice If I knew how to set the camera angle back to the position he wanted... I had to keep changing the angle to set the doodads/units correctly...


Edit: You should add a bit more variation types to work with. Because I'm not to good with Barrens, and the Camera Angle with the heigh elevation is a bit hard to work with.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

You can work on any angle you want but just change it to the angle that he wants the picture be taken. You can change tile variaton...

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Well I just can't get it to that correct angle. Well I guess I didn't try long enough. I'll work on it tommorow and re-upload it.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Erh.. Press "M" and choose the right angle from there >_>

 

[Celaquil]

haha, some great once here i really have to say!
And there is much variation, thats nice ^^

And BTW Ninja, you dont work WITH the angle, you see how it looks then go away from the angle place what you want and then enter it again, simple as that, you know, there is something called Camera, and if you dont change that you can allways jump back.

 

[~Void~]

I work from the angle

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Ok, I didn't realize their was a Camera already in place. So thanks... Re-Uploaded the picture in my previous post.

 

[frostwhisper]

Meh... I'm in a bad mood. So here's this... gloomy shit.

"When the everlasting winter encroached on our lands, we sent our druids south, to unite with the tribes, in hopes of a warmer future."

 

[~Void~]

The trees are all facing the same angle... TEH FIX!

 

[frostwhisper]

Crappy UTM. I won't be bothered.

 

[Dr. House]

here is my screen

 

[FamousPker49]

Floating rox!!!!!!!!!1!!

 

[Celaquil]

Now I'll review the attemts and will soon post up the next picture:

FamousPker49:

- Nice terrain, love the theme, and you got the whole invasion thing to look really realistic, only thin I dont like is the crash between the grass models and the dirt tiles, its just too large of a contrast.

X.e.r.e.X:

- To be totally honest I dont really like the theme, but this is wary well made. And I dont see anything wrong with it, except MAYBE too much of the Fissure model

Dakho:

- To be honest, I'm a bit dissapointed, seing your great other terrains. I dont think the black trees nor the white fog fit with the other terrain, and else its nothing more than what I places there. Sorry.

NinjasDontFight:

- Your idea is cool, and all. But, I can see the end of the world, and even though its a sea it looks odd when the clouds touch the seafloor. And the grass model you used dont fit your concept at all, to be honest the grass looks like it glows. o.o

Frostwhisper:

- Its a good start, and could turne out to be the best, but it is FAR to unfinished. The stones are floating and the trees are all facing the same way. And to be honest, I dont dont like the NE druids placement, even though its original..

i_brg_doom:

- Well what can I say as others its a good start, but it is FAR to empty, some might like it, but I dont. All the other things are nice, but the emptyness really destroys it.

I point out the winner to be X.e.r.e.X cause of his none-flawy terrain, even though I dont like the theme it is by far the greatest. ALL HAIL X.E.R.E.X !

Im deaply sorry if I missed someone in my judgement!

 

[~Void~]

New pic KTHX!!7

 

[Celaquil]

The Picture 2

So here is the second challange same rules goes for it as for the first:

Things not to change:

- Removal of the doodads allready places.
- Camera Angle.
- Allready made hight settings.

Things to change:

- Add own doddads.
- Add effects and weather.
- Set fog range and distance.
- Add and Edit the Tiles.
- Hight variation wherever except the hill allready made.

THIS TIME ITS THE REAL VERTION OF UTM!!!!

Remember this is: "The Picture" !!!

ONE PIC PER PERSON!

 

[Dakho]

Ooh, SO much nicer to work with!

 

[Celaquil]

Yeah I figured I should make a more open theme for the Picture, so that people can come up with more variety of things ^^

 

[Dakho]

Alright here's mine. This one isn't very good either but whatever.

Imagio De Semi Magnifico

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Nice terrain to work with, but now I feel bad about doing that terrain for some odd reason.

@Dakho - It's ok... But I can't see the catherdral, nor that tree he put up. It's to gloomy... So sad



Edit: @Keiji - If you plan to do another contest after this one, can you do a close up picture, with a camera angle at a high point, with a diagonal point? Be interesting to make a building, or something.

 

[Dr. House]

yes here we go already got a huge idea

 

[Celaquil]

Hey Ninja, even though i dont like it, its not against the rules to cover up what i have placed.. actually <.< And for the next one? Thats MY decition!

 

[Dr. House]

rofl i whas thinking about that to in the first picture to cover som things like the hill itself nice ot know that its possible now btw here is my screen i had to keep it low because my computer cant handle alot of inport files and many doodads

 

[frostwhisper]

"North America, basically 65 million years ago. A small band of raptors prepare to raid a herd of dinosaurs passing through the once lush but now dusty and volcanically tainted grasslands."

 

[Dr. House]

i can feel frostwisper wins this one its damn nice

 

[frostwhisper]

Unless bloody ~Void~ comes in and steals me spotlight. ^^

 

[Dr. House]

hehe hopefully somthing with barrens comes soon because im good in that

 

[Celaquil]

i_brg_doom, i think you missed a point, you can choose whatever theme you want, just swap out the tileset, which stands in the rules that your allowed to do, and add barrens doodads, BAM you got a barrens terrain...

 

[frostwhisper]

Aye.

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

I decided to join the party, here is mine, it took me less than half hour.

 

[frostwhisper]

I actually find that kinda nice.

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

I haven't participated in Picture 1 competition, so i don't know how some things work...
When is winner pronounced???

 

[frostwhisper]

When we have enough entries... besides, this is not a contest, it's just something cool to participate in and share experience.

 

[Celaquil]

This IS a contest! I WILL REP THE WINNER !

But its not a serious contest, but alass IT IS A CONTEST as stated..

 

[frostwhisper]

Oh hey, Keiji, did ya claim your prize? >

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

It's easy to build already started terrain. I think your picture has most potential frostwisper, mostly because it is unique idea, and not just bunch of custom models randomly placed all over the map.

 

[frostwhisper]

It's easy to build a decent terrain over an ugly terrain. The challenge here is to make a unique terrain out of a generic terrain. Which is never too easy.

Thanks for the comment btw.

 

[Celaquil]

Spirit, no offense but i deleted that post xD seing it wasnt really needed, talk for all I care

 

[frostwhisper]

C'mon people, less talk more pictures. I want to see some creativity! Gilles, Belgarath?

 

[Celaquil]

Off-topic-in-my-own-fucking-topic: Whats going on with ~Void~ ? He puts in some random comments, claimes a new pic, and dont join in on the challange?

 

[-Spirit Hunter-]

Is it allowed to post more than one picture for competition?

 

[Celaquil]

hmmmm... Yes since there does not stand that your only allowed to post one at the time, but good luck making a new one before I've put up the rule!

EDIT: TOO LATE!!! muhahahahaha!

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I won't enter in this one, cause I would just steal all the REPZ! MUAHAHAHA

 

[Celaquil]

Enter XereX so i can anounce you as the looser you motherfucking cocky person xD

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Why would I enter now if you said you will anounce me as a loser? :S
