I feel like the theme is to restrictive.

Hmm... I see a thousand posibilites in this theme. Too bad I am not a very skilled terrainer.

And, unlike some other forum members, I really like the "no imports" rule :thup: once in a while, a terraining contest where moddeling is not a part of the terrain creation, is nice

i like "no imports" terraining contests a lot, thats one of the most interesting parts of them.
but in combination with this theme i think it is just too restrictive and not constructive in any way.

i am not against the rule but the combination of the rule and the theme.

I feel the rules are too restrictive, especially "send the map instead of a screenshot" one

it just seems weird to let the judge take screenshots...

I agree with Accname, you can't do much without imports at this one... unless if we were allowed to make scenes of Warcraft's movies, like Archimonde hugging the World Tree etc.

I wish the next contest will be a spell-making one

Keep in mind that although he's taking the screenshots, they're going to be taken from the point of view of cameras that you get to place. If you aren't trying to copy the screenshot down to every excruciating detail, and instead just trying to make a coherent shot that is recognizable as being from the scene in question, it doesn't seem too difficult of a task. For example, my attachment is a shot from a very basic map that took me about 20 minutes total to create, and it should (hopefully) be easily identifiable.

Off-topic:- Are you back now? Awesome :D.

On-topic:- While I'm not really a terrainer...but I've seen some really awesome terrains from people, so I'm keeping my eye on this. GL to everyone participating! I might try for fun :p.

I wanna join but Im a bit confused. Does the terrain we make have to be something that looks exactly like in a movie or similar(like a forest with similar elements but not exact)? Also, do we state the movie its from?

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.
