Guys, please specify your name in the e-mails. I can't guess your TH.net names.

So far I got 2 unnamed submissions and I will not include them if you don't respond to my e-mails replies, telling me your names.

Bahhhh, I thought this time the terrain contest would include imports :(

Their totally needs to be a terrain contest where the main focus is that the terrain is actually playable, considering that map making is the reason terraining exists... imports don't make a terrain, they only enhance it.

....maybe next time

Pff. Playable shit is boring. You have to do pathing and all that crap, which is really restricting if you want to make buildings...

I don't see how it's restrictive... it'd just mean you would have to make a better effort at actually planning out your terrain instead of just spraying doodads about.

I think whats really boring and restrictive is the consistant 'blizzard models only' rule of these terrain contests. I don't understand why people stack and flip doodads around to make walls and structures when you could completely model and skin a better looking structure in a tenth of the time.

This contest sounds interesting. Sign me up!

I'm adept at creating playable terrain and calculating pathing for maps and as a terrainer for other mapmakers, but I have lost the skill to make cool terrain pictures, though I did some of those stuff before. This is gonna be a bit of a handicap, but I will do my best.:thup: Good luck to all!

You perhaps. But not me ; )
It would just outbalance the contest. This is a terraining contest after all, not a modelling or skinning contest : )

Offtopic: These icons you gave me really look incredible ingame : )
Thx again!

This is the first WIP batch. I am sorry SerraAvenger, but your terrain had your name on it so I couldn't include it. A single person specified in the mail that he wants it to be posted as WIP (except Serra), so he is the only one to get his work posted. The others that sent me works did not specify, so I am taking them as finals.

Thanks for posting my pictures Smith ;)
Personally, I think you need some height changes, it looks flat.
Otherwise it's good!

-The guard tower in the foreground is out of scale: make it bigger.

-Place more debris and corpses in the courtyard--it still looks clean after the slaughter!

-In the before picture the eye is most powerfully drawn to the courtyard flower display, in the after, there is no one focal point that draws the eye... perhaps, if you reposition the pit lord to look at the camera instead of away it would help.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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.
