Theme: Aftermath.
You will make 2 terrains: a scenery of how a place was in the past, in its glorious time; the second shot will show the same place, but wasted, be it from a catastrophe, decay over time or some godly power.
This time we will grade the way you followed the theme!
We expect creativity and imagination!
Rules:
- Judges can compete!
- No imports are allowed.
- The terrain has to be done specifically for this contest.
- The submissions will be composed of two screenshot of your terrain. Both screenshots have to be taken at the same angle! Any pair of screenshots that does not respect this rule will be disqualified.
- The screenshots will be sent to [email protected]!
- You will be allowed to submit WIPs.
- You are not allowed to use any other programs than the Blizzard World Editor and WE enhancers (WEU, WE-no-limits, etc).
- The deadline is the October, 10th 2008.
The winner will be chosen in two stages:
I. A public poll will be posted and everyone, except the judges, will be able to vote for their favorite submission. Each vote counts as 2 points.
II. The judges will grade each screenshot based on the criteria posted below.
There are 4 judges: 2-P, Ghostwind, Pineapple, Smith_S9.
Each submission will be graded by 3 judges, at random (except for the judges' submissions; a judge submission will be graded by the other 3 judges). I will be the only one to know the authors of the terrains.
Then, I will take the average out of those 3 judge grades and voting points for each submission.
Judging Criteria:
Originality: ?/20 - Is your terrain something we never saw? Did you choose an interesting subject?
Atmosphere: ?/10 - These points are given for good usage of elements that enhance the atmosphere. Example: proper use of fog.
General Appeal: ?/20 - Points earned by a high grade of detail and variety, a good camera angle, etc...
Theme: ?/20 - Did you followed the theme correct enough? Is the terrain still recognized in the second shot?
The maximum grade you can get is 70 points.
WIP system.
If you want to get feedback for your terrain, you will have to send your WIPs at [email protected], but state in the e-mail that it is a WIP. At fixed dates, I will post all the WIPs here, without giving away the authors. Users will then be able to criticize your work and give you input on how to improve it.
Warning: if any author responds to feedback given to his work, thus giving himself away, his submission will be disqualified!
Prizes:
First Place: reputation from all 4 judges;
Second Place: reputation from 2-P, Pineapple and Smith_S9;
Third Place: reputation from Pineapple and Smith_S9.

POLL
You will make 2 terrains: a scenery of how a place was in the past, in its glorious time; the second shot will show the same place, but wasted, be it from a catastrophe, decay over time or some godly power.
This time we will grade the way you followed the theme!
We expect creativity and imagination!
Rules:
- Judges can compete!
The system is explained below, in the section that describes the winner selecting methods.
- No imports are allowed.
Everyone can import some high-poly models and do a stunning terrain, but will you make the same stunning terrain with the original Warcraft III doodads?
- The terrain has to be done specifically for this contest.
You are not allowed to submit older works.
- The submissions will be composed of two screenshot of your terrain. Both screenshots have to be taken at the same angle! Any pair of screenshots that does not respect this rule will be disqualified.
Because your terrain will be judged from that screenshots, make sure you submit the best ones you can get!
- The screenshots will be sent to [email protected]!
You are not allowed to post them here or to disclose, by any means, which screenshot is yours. Anybody who does that will be disqualified.
Also, I suggest you to attach them as files to the e-mails. It is the best way to go since that way the image is not shrank down (image-uploading websites usually do that). I am not to be blamed if your image is small and not so detailed.
If the submission is the final one, state it in the e-mail.
