Terrain Contest I - Voting!

[thewrongvine]

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,

Will the winner map be downloadable?

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

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

But it's old now.

I think it looks better in dark, though.

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

#1 for it looking good.

 

[Randor244]

I voted for #4 - I just love the lightning and the general feeling of the image

 

[kingkingyyk3]

I support second. I love the gloomy feel.

 

[Randor244]

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

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.
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?
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?
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.

 

[Ghostwind]

Can the next one have a more interesting theme?

 

[Romek]

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. ^_^

 

[Gtam]

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.

 

[Furby]

Why aren't they few contests at time? =/

Like coding contest + terrain cotest or skin contest?

 

[Romek]

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? =|

 

[Furby]

If there was now another terrain contest..I would join it.. not depending on theme

 

[Romek]

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

 

[Chao]

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!

 

[wraithseeker]

How about a hero contest and where did Flare go?
