[The Red Christmas] Terraining Contest

[Binsu]

Not allowed to move the camera so if we are to take a screenshot of a part of a terrain, we would only use the standard view then?

By the way, definitely will be joining this one.

 

[Bernkastel]

There's a camera in it. It's like The Picture - contests.

 

[Imadori]

I guess I'll try terraining for a change. Count me in!

 

[Binsu]

So, what does it mean by the thing about you can't adjust the camera?

 

[Bernkastel]

You don't touch the damn camera.

 

[Amargaard]

What has I to do with its emptiness? I'm innocent man >,>

 

[Bernkastel]

The Hell are you talking about.

 

[Amargaard]

....

It's empty. Blame Amargaard.

 

[Bernkastel]

I don't recall the numbers. You asked them. You were responsible of them the last time. I will not bother to dig. You will speak the numbers.

 

[Amargaard]

Oh, the rep prizes? Yeah, I can take care of that when I have time

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Hmmmm, a good old fashion one? Count me in?

 

[Bernkastel]

One, plus, one, is, three.

Counted.

 

[GreeN!X]

You mustn't adjust the current heights of the ground

Really? So we can't make more hill/mountains? That's sad.
I remember only the pre-placed doodads and the camera were not supposed to be moved..


but whatevs. Terraining Contest! Yay!

 

[Bernkastel]

The ground is not supposed to be touched either. That's how it goes.

 

[Imadori]

I don't know how to take screen shots inside the editor properly like everyone else do (seems like mines always end up crappy), I'll just attach the map instead.
This is just the WiP, and it's not really related to Christmas for now. Added a reference from an anime called 'Shingeki no Kyoujin' just for fun, I probably will remove it in the finished product.

Oh and by the way, I give you permission to lie! I became too attached to the contests I couldn't write my story, negative comments will honestly hrut my feelings.

 

[AIagremm]

Just press PrtSc key (print screen) while in the editor and then open MS Paint and use Paste.

 

[Amargaard]

Yeah, a simple "Print Screen" on your keyboard, and cropping in any image editing program afterwards, should do the trick

 

[Imadori]

Geez guys, I know about that at least, I just don't know why it always ended up crappy after uploading it on my album... but thanks anyway. Bern-chan already took one for me.

Here it is:

 

[Amargaard]

B-but this has neither anything to do with Christmas nor the Roleplay

EDIT: 'Scuse me, I just looked at first post, and it stated that there is no theme for this contest. Hm, weird.

 

[Bernkastel]

Exactly. Because I have no interest to see another terraining contest with the same theme.

 

[Imadori]

@cool-peon: Yeah it's not related to Christmas. I asked about that already, and as said...

 

[Amargaard]

But seriously guys, what about at least letting it somehow stick to the Roleplaying events?
It doesn't have to be like last year's contest at all - and actually that theme (Santa's Workshop) is impossible to reuse, considering this Christmas' dramatic events.

Personally my brain is the most creative, when borders and limits are made around it, yeah it's odd, but that's how it is :b
Try consider themes like:
*Special location from RP (Where contestants are to create a special place that had been used anytime during this year's Christmas roleplay, like the "Valley of Christmas", "T.H.U.M.P.E.R. HQ", "The Shedford", more to come as RP continues...)
*Event in the RP (Where contestants are to create whatever event that had happened anytime during the Christmas RP, like "The Purging of Santa's Workshop", "The Deathray Shooting", "The Rise of Bern's Citadel", "Gyro picking up Am'ar", more to come as the RP continues...)
*vKael's Christmas (Where contestants are to create whatever kind of Christmas they believe the character belonging to group's creator, simply known as vKael, is having this year. Winning entry will be counted lore at later roleplays, not that it will actually matter much, but anyway)

Please reconsider! Personally, I'd really love to see all results that might come out of such themes! I actually think it would be sad to give up such a chance to provide the group album with beautiful historic pieces, that hold memories to all of us, rather than just totally random pictures.

 

[Bernkastel]

Fine. Fine. I changed it. This is why I'd need to have some other place to reach you than this God forsaken site.

Sorry for wasting your time, Imadori. *Sigh*

 

[Amargaard]

Me too Kyo! Very, very sorry for wasting your time! :l

Anyways, yay! And okay, I'll download skype, but it'll be the very last thing I do before going to sleep - it's getting really late here - well almost "early" actually, and I'm getting really sleepy

 

[Bernkastel]

Good, since there's something I need to discuss.

And it's 5AM here.

 

[Amargaard]

Downloading done, but no discussing today/tonight, tomorrow tho, sure

(More suggestions incoming)
By the way, with the new restrictions on the contest, I believe you should remove one of the old restrictions; The one about the terrain-altering. The rule about sticking to the camera angle you made, is fine by me, but the the other rule, removes way too many terraining opportunities in my opinion, as contestants who get ideas about featuring a lake, or the edge of a mountain camp's platform, or perhaps an abyss from the crazy Destruction World, will have to reconsider, and make something else instead.
Just sayin'

Oh, and this greenskin still haven't learned the AM/PM system, haha x)

 

[Bernkastel]

I take that off I can just as well take everything else off. So scrap that. I'll still leave the link for the map if people can't go and find UTM by theirselves.

And it's simple. You see, AM is Ante Meridiem, which sands for before noon, and PM is Post Meridiem, which stands for after noon.

So 5AM is 5 and 5PM is 17.

 

[Imadori]

Don't worry about me. I only participated just to keep the group contests rolling. Just wanted to say "I'm already doing my part, do yours too." or something like that.

 

[Amargaard]

Oh, awzum! ^^

Thanks for the info, here's it's five hours past midnight, but... wait - how come there are so huge time zone difference between our countries? Denmark almost considers Finland a neighbor country

 

[Bernkastel]

Huge...? It's one hour.

 

[Amargaard]

Wait, you said it was 17:00?
- Oh, right, I see, like you just told me - you are one hour ahead, I see. How can you survive it, really? Sun's probably up already up there by now!

 

[Bernkastel]

Sun? You're obviously never been to Finland. It's winter. There's no sun.

 

[Amargaard]

Haha, it's not like Denmark differs much you know :b

Anyway, I'll give my terraining entry a few more days of thinking before starting - too bad I lost all my old maps, including last year's Christmas terrain, which had tons of useful models, that I could reuse in this contest :l
Oh, and if any of you have the old Am'ar Kardos model, I'd be happy to have it as well ^^

 

[Paillan]

Count my in.

 

[AIagremm]

*Counts*
You have 1.

 

[Amargaard]

Here's a first WiP, I haven't been to this place yet, but I'm about to get there - oh and the Blademaster is me, until somebody sends me my real model

WiP 1

 

[Paillan]

I think you're real model died.
EDIT:
I found a HHH, sure you're model is there. 'Ill send you a pm with the pastebin.

 

[Amargaard]

It can't be - more than 5 people worked on HHH and/or used my model for other maps/terrains, there can't possibly be not just one single person with the model somewhere?
EDIT: Awzum, can you send me the whole HHH as well?

 

[Amargaard]

Hmmm, hate when necessity craves of me to make a double-post, but eventually I'll do it anyways - for Santania's second WiP terrain is here. The little tauren to my side, is Gen Bloodhorn

WiP 2

 

[Amargaard]

Double-post! Woop woop! Great that Captain Deolrin and the Niss (Christmas Defense Force) is in Santania too ^^

WiP 3

 

[Rheiko]

where am i in that pic? i supposed to be in santania ._.

 

[Amargaard]

It's a WiP bro. The smart member would have noticed that I included one additional character for each WiP I uploaded

 

[Rheiko]

cool

 

[Paillan]

This is what happens when you don't use wips.

Biggy image post

The valley froom the front with ruined citadel

The pine's forest and Alagreems house.

Santa's house

The cave HQ and the original tree HQ (burning)

The giant ice wall and other stuff.

The cave (everybody is already outside)

 

[AIagremm]

Trees? What are trees doing in North Pole?

 

[Amargaard]

Looks quite kewl actually, although...:
1. You should only make one picture, from one point of view
2. Alagremm's house, the Cult Shedfort - lies on top of a mountain, if I'm not mistaken.
3. Santa's house lies in Santania, and thus not in the Valley of Christmas.
4. What is the ice wall? And what is that thing with a lightning bolt hitting straight down on its top?
5. It would be kewl if you included the black shattered pieces of Bern's ruined citadel.
6. You should lower all those doodads, by selecting them and hold the Ctrl button, and then press the PgDn button - would look much better, so the rocks and other props doesn't float in the air

 

[Paillan]

I know, I am just to lazy to do it.
I think I will choose berns citadel as my picture.

 

[Paillan]

The lightning is hitting the misterius still floating lamp of bern's citadel.
There is a giant ice wall that hides something.

 

[Bernkastel]

Lamp. When did I mention a lamp.
