1. contestant - this is actually the only pic that shows scene of a real action, but the terrain was just too poor and seems like a lot of things could be added in
2. contestant - this is completely different - nice terrain, but no action
3. contestant - yeah there's the kong and the planes, but the pic seems just too static and the terrain is nothing more than spammed unfitting buildings (with an imported skyscraper? :eek:)

to be honest I don't like any of these, but I've put my vote

EDIT: omg I just realized how you made the skyscraper with doodads xd

> (with an imported skyscraper? )
It's not imported. It's just a few doodads that were cleverly stretched and stacked on top of each other.

I'm not terribly fond of any of them, but I suppose 3 was the most creative, and it has a nice atmosphere the others lack.

As Sandman shows us, no one really needs to use imports, anything is really possible to make with dummies and patience.

o_O Well than, can I deem that this contest theme was not very successful :p The season ones were more succesful.

I'm looking forward to a future terraining contest, though (Halloween, anyone?).

#1 has action, which is nice, but the terrain isn't very well made.
#2 is rather boring, it's a really nice terrain, but it feels so static that I don't see is being a movie.
#3 looks ugly but by far gets the most creativity points. It also has some action. For the no imports restrictions this is pretty good.

gl to all :)

btw, Why no spoilers? I feel so stretched.

For the sake of Contestor 1, I voted for him.
At least he participated and took some time. I liked the film Startroopers a lot. The other ones are also nice.

Voted for contestant number 3. Even though the scene is a bit static, it seems to be the best atmosphere that directly relates to the movie scene chosen. Also kudos for the innovative skyscraper, I thought it was imported when I first saw it lol.

The first one doesn't have great terrain and it doesn't really give the feel of the movie scene chosen either....
The second one has great terrain, but it doesn't pull off the difficult scene mainly because it was a close-up. Should have chosen a better scene to imitate with that kind of terrain imo :).

GJ to all the participants for participating, unlike me :p.

Having a hard time between deciding between the 2nd and 3rd one. :banghead: The 1st one isn't really that great, though still preety good. HMMMMMMM.. gotta say the third one because while the second one has great terrain unlike the last one, the last one's simplicity seems to capture or relate to its image the best :thup: so yeah the 3rd one but all of them are really worth lokking at...... lol can't mike decent terrain myself:cool:

Help Users
  • 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

  • The Helper The Helper:
    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.
