Interesting idea. As for the ice creams; it isn't as much that kind of advertising, but rather the way it's written. To correct myself, maybe it's more comparable to something like "Il y a des glaces epic, et nous chocolater ses bon!". No offense meant though, please don't take it that way - I thought your video was awesome but would like it to be error free if I'm going to be newsing it.
Rocks in the air, trees on them, water falls, vines, etc. What about trying, I'm sure someone will find out a way to do this haha. At some point we could use Actor to reverse the rocks =P
Awesome! Good work man! Your video pretty much showcases some of the most original and brilliantly engineered terrains I've seen. Lets see if I can get this into a news post...
Thanx. I hope people will like it ;) And I also hope people will come and see what is the "W-T-E...." And think "Oh, why not try if it can helps me ;)" Let's hope.
I'd like to know where you post it too ;) (To see what the people answer)
Also, it was hard to select the pictures, there are so many... but I kept only some, very good, good, normal... I selected them not cause of their "epicness" but cause of their "effectiveness". For example, on picture show an interior with almost no doodads, it is not epic, but it is effective, it is saying something to you when you look at that. You feel the terrain. It's not only epic. Of course though I kept the most epic ones like the recent creation of the uber mothership... Anyway, the WTE are not only epic terrains, you're there to "become better" not to only "show your skills". So I think putting some more normal terrains in the video is fine. I also did not pay attention to the order I show the pictures. It is most likely from the oldest WTE to the newest.
Why not have a WTE that we all make together, one person makes a start, then another person takes over, maybe you time yourself for 10-15 minutes and then someone takes over, but you have to declare you've started editing it so you don't get 2 people working on the same version.
I think this might be a cool Idea, I recently did this in a terrain i posted...
i was thinking maybe something like a drastic change in ecosystem/climate basically having 2 climates and then seperating them and making it look like a drastic transition from one climate to the other
an example would be a desert Meinhoff setting and then on the other side a more forest covered lush area but making the transition between the 2 drastic
There are really good looking terrains in WTEs but unfortunately most of those are absolutely unplayable. So my idea for WTE is to make terrain that is playable :) Melee map for example.
I've got a suggestion for a theme.. not sure if it would be fun/challenging or just a bit annoying but anyway. Inspired by your comments on me making big terrains Mozared.
The theme: 'Micro' - make a terrain on the absolute smallest map size (32x32)
Lol, that would be fun... a bit of data editor... make everything 30% their original size... play Starcraft like if you was unzoom but, without the lag.
well, it could be fun... but you can't polish forever a small map... ya you can.. but you know.. Haha.
Oh and another idea: instead of Pathing -> Painting. Use principally the textures but never in mass or smudged together. Use the textures to "draw" different things on the ground. A really minutious texturing WTE.
Ideas are really easy to find... so, this is another =)
Everyone lives somewhere with object around them right? Except if you live in a blackhole, you're in trouble. So, This WTE would be about recreating an everyday object around you. It could be a piano, a guitar, your headphones, your computer, a statue, a car, your chair, whatever you want that is from real life around you. Then we will have to find out what you created.
This WTE gives another view or use to the editor, not only is it for showing starcraft stuff, but it can be to show some real life stuff =P It's a kind of modeling with pre-made models =P If you're really in, make your house, or your chamber? Haha

Oh got another one =D
The post here (http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/development/terrain/35168-weekly-terraining-exercise-76-listening-post/#p15) took me to think about creating a floating islands environment. Kind of Avatar like this (http://blog.lefigaro.fr/bd/cailloux%20volants%20Avatar.bmp). It could be interesting.... ;)

How would you make that other than some kind of cloud environment, though?
Rocks in the air, trees on them, water falls, vines, etc. What about trying, I'm sure someone will find out a way to do this haha. At some point we could use Actor to reverse the rocks =P
And I got the video ;)

Make outlandish terrains based on WoW: BC's Outland/Draenor Continent
GO GO GO
or you could create what you think Mars looks like

This kind of WTE have already been done. But ya, it's cool. We'll see later i guess.

heres a pic of kinda what i'm talking about:
So next week terrain exercise will be 3rd or first person view styled environment?

Wasn't specifically planning that, but hey, why the hell not? Fits the TT and could be interesting.

We've had melee map style terrains, but you do make an interesting point... I've got something cooked up for you soon.
Just being bored for 5 quick minutes in the editor.
What can I say? ¯\_( ツ)_/¯
