Nope.

I don't know why so many people like #4 though, it's really bland and the sun is poorly made imo.

Well yeah it's not exactly cleanly made and you can't really... see anything, but it's a cool view, with the sun coming up and the trees.
I guess it's because it's a nice, bee-ah-tee-ful view, :D

I voted for number 8. I like rivers and houses, and they look cool together, so why not? :p

Nope.

Well, the map does look nice to me but doesn't fit to my suits. I think it's a place for *cough* romantic people. *cough*

Will the winner map be downloadable?

I was hoping that. It would be nice if all of the maps are available.

That view between 2 trees with a sun has been done like 10 billion times though... I kinda started that trend :p

But it's old now.

I think it looks better in dark, though. :rolleyes:

Anyway, good luck on the contest. What's the prize for wannabes? ;D

I liked the second as well - the camera angle did it for me :D

Still, #4 has that "epic" feel ;)

I voted 1#.

1: Original, and well made. Good atmosphere. It could have standed to have more to it, its kind of simple, too, but not in a bad way.
2: Rather simple\empty, and nonsensical.. I path that seems to lead to nowere, thats filled with water, and two timmys sitting in the rain. The grass is taller then the children, too. :D
3. Well, for one thing I really dislike the trees. The seaweed is way to tall! Taller then the people! And, uh, who would crash a boat in a tiny pond? :p
4. Very nice, but It seemed kinda un-original. The sky and fog doesn't seem to match well in my opinion, either.
5. The main problem with this one, wich is quite blaring, is were the water meets the sky in the backround.
6. The water looks wrong (needs to be more flat?) and it seems like the corner towers are floating a bit. IMO, its too close to the cliff edge. Ive never been a fan of those types of towers, and for some reason I get a sense of randomness and clutter in this picture. . .:(
7. Uhh.. Lots of trees in a. . . desseret? That one tree is TOO big, I think. And spiky sand dunes? This one doesn't make sense to me. Oh, and why is the boat not tied up? It will float away like that!
8. The trees are spammed too close together, the the waterfalls are spammed too much as well. The light rays are spammed too much, and they look unrelistic. Are the huge boxes suppose to be blocking his stairway? :D
9. Nice. But the water looks odd, and theres too many sea shells. You could try a few less, more size varation, and bury them in the sand some?
10. The backround looks messed up.. Little to random and spammed? I really don't like wc3's defualt trees, too.
11. Whoa, the fog is way too thick! You'd never see fog that thick of that color IRL. The rest, though, isn't too bad.
12. The water didn't have a very good feeling of depth. Its flat, and you can see the grass under it. Pretty good terrain, though.
13. The spash from the timy jumping in the water seems to be behind the water.. It just doesn't look right. Seems like a good idea, but poorly done, some of the places in the backround are too empty. The stream going into the pool looks wrong, too.
14. Huge corral is huge! =D I can't think of anything strikingly bad, but overall it doesn't seem that great.
15. Nice, but the water just seems off.. The sun is too big. Theres some other small bugs, too, but it wasn't bad.


Sorry, this is real quick so it isn't so good, but I just remembered I voted without commenting.

When the winner is announced, it's up to them if they want to post the map.
I'll ask whoever it is to do so though. :)

The prize is a shit-load of rep and bragging rights.

Yeah, sure. :)
PM me with any ideas you have.

Next contest will most likely be a coding one. But after that, there are no plans. ^_^

Terrain 14: I like island ideas terrain because it gives u the feel its wide open when ther is water around but just land makes it sqweezed and not the open feel.

It's too much work with a large forum.

And Andrew and I have to manage all these contests. This one is a relaxing break for both of us.

Isn't one contest enough? =|

Even if we had 12 contests running at the same time, I can assure you that only one of them would be terraining contests. :p

I'm not saying which mine is, but it's my first time ever entering a terraining contest... and I selected a playable section of my map...

p.s. #4 was my vote, but you all did phenomenal, great job, everybody!

    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
