In my opinion all map should have the same tool available, model,tileset etc.Making a contest where everyone dont have access to same tool make it imbalanced in my view, it doesnt prove your better because you dont start on the same level to begin with.

and no having having to internet/download doesnt it make everyone on same ground as some ppl will make model or find model that nobody will find.

the summer contest was nice and whoever did #12 is awesome

might seem like a dumb question but how can I submit my map to you? you can't have an attachment in a pm, right? could I e-mail my screenshot to you?

btw, I deleted my map of mistake so my screenshot have to do or I need to begin from scratch again :p

If you do not like the rules of this particular contest, you do not have to enter. However, i will be creating a suggestion thread when this contest has come to an end. You may then voice your idea's for the rules and theme of the 3rd contest there.

Submissions must be in the form of a screenshot

Be sure to keep a copy of your map. I will contact the winners to make sure their terrains aren't photoshopped or edited.​

You can upload your screenshot to imageshack, photobucket (or any similar website)

Bah, I'll probably enter. I feel like I want to enter and finish a terrain map in one day. Probably not, probably yes. We'll see.

Then practise to get better than those people? Anyways Im not participating in this contest cause the theme really isn't that great and doesn't bring up any amazing ideas that will WOW people. Good luck to everyone else.

another question (wasn't around for the previous terrain contest, sorry if u think me stupid :p

should the screenshot represent the terrain of the whole map or could you make a small pot of terrain and show it with a certain close camera angle?

Its just supposed to be one picture from one angle. You don't need a whole map of terrain. Just one scene.

I haven't been on the forum long, but I rather enjoy making terrain for maps. I may enter if I find the time.

Wip 2 is grey. That doesn't really fit the theme. The first one was better because the first thing that made you think of when you saw it was fall. This second WIP looks like a rainy summer or spring. The scene is also in the middle of a city which will be much harder to give you the feeling of fall. There are green trees to which should be in any case, orange and it doesn't rain that much in fall so it doesn't represent the fall theme. I say stick to the first WIP.

It all depends on the creator's interpretation - some see Autumn as those bright gold, brown, red (etc) colours while others may see it as a transition between Summer and Winter (with WIP 2 being on the Winter end of that spectrum)

Also, Autumn doesn't necessarily mean bright and sunny. Spend some time in Ireland and you'll see what I mean :p

I say stick to the first WIP.
I do hope you realise that the WIP's shown aren't both belonging to Wasted (I don't think he'd be participating anyway since he's hosting the contest), he is just providing other users with the WIP images that the creators have submitted

You can send me WIPs, and I'll periodically post all the WIPs I have, so that people can comment.

I feel that i should point out that WIP#1 and WIP#2 are different people and different submissions, To keep things anonymous i am posting for users who wish to get feedback on their work.

WIP#2 - Update

Are we allowed to PM you (Wasted) our WIP? Just out of curiosity.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
