Howdy folks! I saw the texture lottery was a WTE many people liked, but for those who didn't, here's a more usual WTE for a change.
Weekly Terraining Exercise #33
This week's theme will be Eye of the Storm. What this means is any kind of terrain that conveys a message of calmth and loneliness inside a huge 'storm'. Simple example: two Zealots standing back to back as Zerglings are approaching from all sides. Anything that basically offsets 'quietness' against a circle of 'rumble' around it - feel free to get creative!
Heres something i threw together real quick. It's supposed be like this big metropol and a tiny litttle spot of normal terran huts and grass, trees and all that, youll see...
well this kinda reminded me of a calm before the storm. I like to call it " get the f%^& in the house the dogs look hungry" haha ss from a map im working on hope thats ok
I lol'd... The nuke was SO unexpected. I was just sitting here going "the eye of the storm is the.... beautiful pond in the middle of a wild jungle, or what?", and then suddenly KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, everything gone. It looks like slapstick =P
Wow, this is alot more interesting than your first picture. I like the way you put some (I don't remember the name...) gate, closing, whatever, the blue laser thing that folow the road. It's pretty nice. The elavated building with pub between them also is kinda good. But, I think the air baloon with pub should be more in the air... At the moment, it looks more like a crashing air baloon. It looks to fill a place that is already filled with the cars...
Anyway, I like the 4th picture with the global view. I just want to say, it is a very nice city, but... even if the camera is focussing on the green spot, it is not this that we see first. The green spot looks include in the city when we want the opposite. Am I wrong?
Sure! And i know some of the triggers for a video (Check my "swamp" #31), send me PM maybe with the details?
About my terrain by the way, i was going for that like idyllic suburban house cramped between two skyscrapers didn't quite succeed though. I'm pretty happy about the surrounding city but i agree with that it seems pretty included.
I really want to do this. My idea is a terran base on Char very similar to the cut scene where Raynor gives his inspirational speech. I think it would be perfect but I am having a little trouble. This is what I have so far. At least I think I nailed the lighting.
Well it's an interesting view. I would say that you could zoom out the camera a little and add more details like more terrain/doodads. Then again, that's just me. I don't find the view amazing but that's just me. I really like it but it still could use...something. I'm sure you'll figure it out ;)
I like it. Well done. Kept the middle empty in the latter screenshot and added detail to the sides.
That said, you can simply upload images to your post by clicking 'Add attachment' below the box you type your reply in. Alternatively, after you make a post, click the 'Attach' button hovering over it in the top right corner of the post.
Fair enough; what I dislike most about what you created is that it's empty. It needs filling in right now. Aside from that, it uses the same texture all over the map and the cliffs are on the straight side (they can be all over the place, in both location and height). Add more Zergs! Add more plants, buildings, trees, just things, overall - that would be my main comment.
I lurk at SC2Mapster and I love checking out the WTE. I just figured I'd let everyone know I enjoy the work put into this, it's really cool and inspiring. :)

@Mozared: Go
15minutes. Just felt like pointing out something you should all realise :-(
@Dresnia: Go
That... there's trees that grow huge fruit? Or that sepia is the shit?
I don't get it. Plus, I can't see what's in the middle of that second pic. It seems to be a person or such but it's hard to make out.
@Mozared: Go
Something calm and lonely inside a huge storm.
A little farm that got eaten by a dirty town.
Yeah I didn't bother resizing models or stuff. And yes the person stayed on his farm and died by the toxics pumping out town :(
@Dresnia: Go
oh hahahahahahahahha I get it.

SheogorathSC, you want to help me with the terrain for a video? And if you know the triggers a little bit, this would be cool. =P http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/terrain/14658-terraining-exercises-global-information-idea-thread/?page=3#p46
