Here we go, as others have noticed, making good looking mountains / rocks with the editor isn't really possible, so I used the mountains as a backdrop for a small mountain village, just as chaos is about to break out, the otherwise peaceful town is in panic as a nydus worm (of the larger kind) has emerged from the nearby lake, spewing out invading zerg forces.
Ended up spending a lot of time on "water effects" although I spent a fair amount of time on the mountains as well...
Anyway, here are some shots from the editor, had lots of stuff on the map, so wasn't able to quite decide which screenshots to upload, went with a whole bunch instead. Lots of small details on the map though, so download it if you want to see it all :)
Gurrgel your map looks very good, a lot of detail and attention. Nice mountains.
CC yours have a lot of atmosphere as if taken form a machinima, nice.
Mordrag my favorite, kinda atmospheric (sort of a calm valley trees well placed and everything), if it had sky it would've been perfect.
Wow some awesome terrain work here, i feel guilty because the theme was my suggestion but some recent drama in the family has kept me away from the net for over a week, even tho its a bit late id like to throw something up simply because iv been mentioned =P

Damn - If i didn't have 3 days to finish my map for the competition I'd enter this.. Might even enter once i'm done ;)
EPIC, definitely the best entry just for the idea itself:D
A map currently in development for the Stargate Galaxies project. The use of outline texture technique is to make the mountains more dynamic.
WoW!! Thats a nice way to make some mountains - great job, mate!
Thanks :D
