Terrain Contest I - Summer

[Romek]

Terrain Contest I​

Introduction:

I'm well aware that this isn't the first terrain contest at all. In fact, it's far from being the first. But, I'll name it 'I', because it's the first Andrewgosu or I will host.
I decided to host this contest, because I've noticed a lot of the more recent contests have been coding-orientated. So I think I'll give the terrainers a big of fun too now.

Sorry about the lack of a logo. My computer is being crapper than usual.​

The Theme:

The theme for this terraining contest is Summer. I'm sure (most of you) have realised that summer has come (where most of you live). So this contest should bring the happy, summer atmosphere to the World Editor Help Zone.

The piece of terrain must have something to do with summer. This can be anything at all. Villages, landscapes, flowers, etc. As long as it's somehow related to the Summer.​

Information:

To join, simply send me your submission via PM.
Do not post your submission here. Doing so will result in disqualification of the terrain piece.
Also, Do not reveal which one is yours. Doing so will also result in disqualification of the piece.
You can send me WIPs, and I'll periodically post all the WIPs I have, so that people can comment.​

Rules:

• Your submission must fit in with the theme.
• Submissions must be in the form of a screenshot
• One submission per member, one member per submission
• Do not reveal which terrain is yours
• Do not submit your terrain here
• PM me your submission. You can also PM me WIPs, which I will post here. Please specifically state whether or not your submission is WIP.
• You may change your submissions any amount of times before the deadline.
• Imports are allowed.
• Photoshopping is not allowed. Cropping is not included.
• Be sure to keep a copy of your map. I will contact the winners to make sure their terrains aren't photoshopped or edited.

Grading:

At the deadline, I will create a public poll for members to vote on which terrain they like the most.
More details on the voting will be posted when I create the poll.
For once, I will not have a say in who the winner is. ​

Due Date:

All submissions must be in by Wednesday, 10th June. Midnight (GMT). Any submissions PMed to me after this time will not be accepted.​

If you have any questions, be sure to ask!

Good Luck!

This is a nice break from the 'coding' contests.
Even though I suck at terrain I might give this a try .

 

[UndeadDragon]

Yay! Another contest

I have some ideas for the theme.

>...that summer has come (where most of you live)

Are you refering to England by any chance?

>Imports are allowed.

Any limits on this?

Indeed

> Even though I suck at terrain I might give this a try .
Trying won't hurt.

> Yay! Another contest
Yeah!

> I have some ideas for the theme.
Awesome. =)

> Are you refering to England by any chance?
All of the northern hemisphere.

> Any limits on this?
It's a screenshot anyway.
Though a screenshot of a single high-poly model is unacceptable.
It still has to have Wc3 terrain in it.

Aww, that was most of my ideas

 

[iPeez]

oh... Oh... OH!... OMFG!! YAY! I am SO in. =)

EDIT:

Add rule (you should ):

* No premade terrains.

 

[BlackRose]

OMG! I so suggested a terrain contest in that social group! Maybe I might, but I have no ideas for 'summer', except for beach ball at the beach!

Q: How do we send you our submission? A link from sendspace or something to you in private message?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

You send him your submission in the form of a screenshot.

Probably preferred from ImageShack, TinyPic, or Photobucket since those are all well known hosting sites.

 

[D.V.D]

Are we allowed to use old undone screenshots and I mean really undone. Even if the shots were posted on this web?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Most likely not.

 

[D.V.D]

Then Ill start new.

 

[wraithseeker]

Instead of allowing imports, why not ask the terrainer to use the UTM instead? (Ultimate Terraining Map)

 

[BlackRose]

3-4mb per submission?

 

[saw792]

I must say I hate the theme. It's really too broad. Normally you would judge a terrain contest based on how well the submission captures the theme, which I think is going to be extremely difficult seeing as you can only terrain events that happen during summer. Or you could just do a giant castle and say it was a summer day. I don't think I explained my issue with the theme too well, maybe somebody else can articulate it better.

 

[MagnaGuard]

Maybe you should link this download so people can all have even footing?

 

[Dinowc]

can we make some rain-themed terrain?
because in my country most of the summer rains

summer is not all about the "sun"

 

[Bloodcount]

Well, I am pretty sure I won't submit anything, but I will give it a shot. I have a question though:
"how many screenshots do you have to give?"

Do you guys not read ?

• Submissions must be in the form of a screenshot
• One submission per member, one member per submission

In case that still doesn't clarify it;
BlackRose: It doesn't matter the file size of the screenshot.
Bloodcount: 1 (AFAIK) .

> Q: How do we send you our submission? A link from sendspace or something to you in private message?
Photobucket, imageshack, upload it here, etc.

> Are we allowed to use old undone screenshots and I mean really undone. Even if the shots were posted on this web?
No.

> Instead of allowing imports, why not ask the terrainer to use the UTM instead? (Ultimate Terraining Map)
Ermm, why?

> I must say I hate the theme. It's really too broad.
My apologies.

> Or you could just do a giant castle and say it was a summer day.
Would be acceptable, as long as it's very clear that it's summer.

> Maybe you should link this download so people can all have even footing?
No.

Wolfie, if you don't mind, I'll do the answering of Q&As. Feel free to quote the rules and stuff though, if that answers questions. If you're unsure, then don't answer.

Also, just to clarify:
"Imports are Allowed" does not mean "You must use the UTM".
Yes, UTM is allowed.

Good luck everyone. =)

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Alrighty;
Only a few of mine weren't straight rules stuff anyways .

Oh,
Is Andrewgosu even in this with you ?
Or is it just you this time ?

EDIT: This still needs a logo,
Even with your "crapper computer" .
