Though the TERRAIN isn't as good as Killfest's (To me), I have to say, Husky's looks good. I like how he captured it and the scene he captured. A camera looking through the hills and out to a boat that's riding the seas, I really like it.

THE RULES said:
JUDGING:

~Screenshots of the maps will be judged by:
~Size and realisticness.
~Tileset and how much the chosen tileset looks like whatever you chose to do.
~Screenshots of the maps will also be judged by how clever the name is.
~The map will be judged out of 10, the name will be judged out of 3, highest score you will be able to get is 13.

Unfortunately for Husky, the angle isn't judged according the rules.

If that happens, I'll be resubmiting my screenies, with better angles.

There were some fundamental mistakes, like the green 'selected' circle in Pic II

Sorry about the double posting - a problem about ebing banned :(

Anyways, I dont get this rule and it's use...

~Attach a screenshot of the entire map (advanced>view entire map) with the title and what it is supposed to be a map of (forest/beach/dungeon).

Now, as you can imagine, a melee map from this vew looks like a random bunch of green lines with a light blue thick line running through it - does this rule really have a point? Or am I missing a reason somehow...please enlighten me on this, someone, especially Jindo, as he he wrote it :p

I think that was his solution to "what if we're bad at screenshots".

If you're bad at screenshots, just attach the map. I will look at it myself if I have to.

Oh, OK - Thanks for that.

Do I still have to submit the map as it says - I'd rather not, as the real melee map is still in testing, and I never give pre-release maps away to anyone else than my close circle of testers. Could there possibly be an exception?

Probably not. You're not special :p Actually, I may be wrong (I barely know the rules, myself) But I don't think it's in the RULES you have to attach it. If it's not, then just don't. If it is, ask Jindo if he wants to drop the rule for everyone, not just you. Little selfish sounding ;)

OK - I'll ask Jindo.

BTW sorry if I sounded selfish - I just can't possibly submit this map, and I'm trying to secure that need without losing marks/breaking the rules and Dqing myself.

you can attach your map or give a link to a place which hosts things like maps and stuff.

Just make sure that we can see your map.

Updated terrain (i think by Killfest2) looks cool, i like it alot!.

Rinpun your map is a good style, i like the stuff about the pirate's hangout, it has some danger in it :D.

Husky, your angle, sky and sun rays together in that map make it beautiful!

This is not giving away who i am voting to win, i am merely complimenting the masterpieces :D.

~Jindo

PS: Killfest2, if you cant submit your map in any way and are not a good screenshotter, then send me the map over MSN if you have MSN.

Jindo, that's what he DOESN'T want to do. He's working on his map, and doesn't want anyone to see it but his close friends, who are apparently also his beta testers. He wants to know if we can drop the rule saying you HAVE to give the map to us.

by request: adding a criteria on the first post to clarify how the terrain will be marked.

This will not affect any thing in the contest :).

Here is my submission...since the contest doesnt end for a while...ill most likely be updating the screenshots/map...but in case i dont, i wanted to go ahed and post....


Ambush
A small area in the forest where unsuspecting travelers dissappear without any trace. No one knows where they go, but only the bravest and most desperate travel through here.​

Overview of the forest

Perhaps this is why travelers disappear...hungry furblogs..
Waterfall with Furblog

The furblog is waiting to prey on the warry travelers who venture through the forest.
Watching and Waiting

Watching and Waiting2

There is a small waterfall in the confinds of this forest that draws animals to this area of the forest.
Waterfall

The waterfall picture would look better if the tree's had better texture, but I still included the screen because I thought it looked cool.
This is the first terrain I've done of an actual forest, but I thought I might as well try something new..

hope you like it..

(I've also attached my map so where you judges can have a look at the entire thing)

I like how the furblogs are hidden in the trees.

It is very realistic and... cool a new smily! :nuts:!

Anyway, overall that is very good, you should be very proud of this map :).

    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
