I was thinking of having an icon compotition, to see all the wonderful work you gys out there are doing.
(also, so i can copy/paste them into my map, jk)

especialy invited members would be ruination, rad, master saji, agent paper, acehart, alexander.

this isnt really official, and no rewards (unless sum1 makes one,i cant)
ill judge, but feal free to send input

I refuse to sanction a competition that misspells "competition."

And if you do create this, set out the rules before you start. Make them fairly rigid. I suggest that you make up one ability for which everyone will make an icon.

K I just read Sargon's statement. Making an ability for us all to take a crack at is a good idea. A date to post them by is good too so no one gets ideas from others. And the misspelling is an easy one to make there :) It kinda reminds me of how Cajun Man from saturday night live might say it. 'Compotitiooooonnn'.

ok, this competition will be for who can make the best icon for any of the following catagories:

elemental weapons, fire ice lighting, rock, light, darkness, air, ect. dagger, bow, sword, ax, staff, helm, cloak, ect.

also, elemental spells. fire blast, ice nova, chain ice, electric prison, etc.

rules:

1. No copying from war3sear.ch or anywhere else, must be YOUR work.
2. Title them
3. Change the border (optional, but favorable)
4. Origanality
5. Must be clear what the icon depicts
6. Short description (optional, but would help if icon is uncleare)
7. Icon must be 64 by 64, and in either .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, or .tga (preferable not tga)

Not to complain -as i am diffenetly thinking of entering this- but Elemental Weapons and spells are every type of spell warcraft3 related and Bows, Daggers, Helemts are all the non-spell icons warcraft3 releted.. just to point that out :D

My one, it has a story =). I was making my map, and saw a quite cool vampiress model. When I put it in my map, I realized that it didn't have an icon with it. So I made it myself (not from scratch, though, based it on a screenie and optimized it a lot so it looked like a good icon), and I think it looks quite well. It is a unit (actually hero) icon, so I hope I'm allowed to submit it.

Edit:

About the rules:

7. Icon must be 64 by 64, and in either .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, or .tga (preferable not tga)

1. war3sear.ch doesn't exist, I think you mean wc3sear.ch? My icon isn't copied from there, the model it was made for is.
2. The title is: Vampiress
3. I actually don't think that is favorable, seeing that most ppl use normal borders, and therefore wouldn't be quite happy if all the icons in the contest are spoiled with a custom border.
4. It isn't very original... Hmmm... Might make a one that is original.
5. Seems clear enough to me, at least if you have seen the model
6. Scroll up! :)
7. I attached a 64x64 jpg. What is so bad about tga btw? It is lossless, smaller than bmp and directly convertable to blp with WC3 Image Extractor II.

I know it's an "icon" competition, and icons are small, but perhaps, for the sake of our eyes, we can allow bigger versions to be attached, thus helping us judge whatever the hell a person crammed into such a small space?

No, that would make this into a "Picture competition", making it so you can tell what the icon is of is part of the challenge of making a good icon.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
