Weekly Terraining Exercise #142

Hey hey people!

Another late upload due to business on my part, but hopefully the last one for a bit. This week's theme shall be "Enter the Nexus". While we've had the Daelaam Ark exercise, this time I'd like to see what you guys think that specifically the insides of a Protoss Nexus look like. What happens in there and what does it look like?

Good luck, and have fun!

Sounds like a cool one, I will try something a bit more experimental for my submission if I am able to achieve / finish it. :)

Edit: Here is my experimental terrain, it may look like not much at first glance, but then look at it again with the knowledge that the portal is water ;) (making this terrain made my head hurt haha, the camera functions get really funky when you start reversing X Y and Z)

@joecab: Go

Looks pretty cool! How do water??? Lol

@yawnamana: Go

I could not figure out how to move the water to fit in the portal, and I wanted a sort of reflecting portal thing, so I moved the entire structure sideways using pitch and roll ;) so all the floor panels on the ground are placed by using height (Z) , and height (Z) is actually X, and Y is the same.

The Idea originated when I thought how cool it might be if I made a window out of water, put the alpha down, and had a slight reflection to make a massive glass window, then use pitch and roll. but if I am honest I should have designed it normally first, then figure out how to rotate the building, because it is difficult to place anything.

@joecab: Go

Oh goodness gracious! I commend you for the amount of work put in good sir! Once I free up a little bit of time I will design my (mediocre) map!

@joecab: Go

What did you use for the walls of your temple?

@joecab: Go

I was going to say it's not one of your best terrains but knowing that that portal is water just makes it extremely impressive.

@Scbroodsc2: Go

omg yes.....

@DrSuperEvil: Go

because I did not know the model existed ha. (also, it is good to challenge yourself :) )

@joecab: Go

Very nice! I like that watery portal. And looks like a nice interior. Maybe that's what it looks like, good job with the walls.
