Weekly Terraining Exercise #100

For the 100th time: hey hey folks!

This week is the 100th episode of the WTE, which means I wanted to do something slightly special and look back on all we have done. With this week's subject being "Far ahead the road has gone", the idea is that you guys pick any assignment from any previous WTE and follow it. Basically recreate what you want. Don't mention what WTE you've picked so others can guess! All previous WTE's can be found in the global WTE thread linked down below.

Good luck, and have a drink on me!

@Scbroodsc2: Go

Check the frontpage, my man ;)

Here's an industrial city-thing.

@FruitNinjazz: Go

Nice atmosphere! It could perhaps use a little bit more definition to make things stand out more, but else that'd be a wonderful melee map border as is.

I'm having a really hard time guessing what WTE that is. Is is #30, Two-tone?

Gonna make something epic for this one :D

@FruitNinjazz: Go

Also, might that be the "City of Fire" one?

It was actually inspired by Telthalion's entry for #99, but I got carried away with the rest of the map and forgot to screenshot the part with the giant vents.

It doesn't really work with city of fire (maybe it does, since there's pollution from burning stuff), but I plan to add lava later on to different parts of the map.

It should be pretty easy to figure out which one I picked. :) (Though, really, it fits neatly into at least 3 of the previous topics.)

EDIT: Also, a few screenshots of my process, for those who are interested: http://imgur.com/a/gh86d#0

EDIT 2: Map now attached. Requires my custom tileset found here: http://www.sc2mapster.com/assets/sirocco-tileset/

Have we ever had a "randomly generated terrain" WTE? If not, would you mind to throw it once? I met some ppl in chat who have some cool terrain generating algorithms. I understand, it's not about terraining in common sence, but it's still about terrains. And it could show how powerful the idea of terrain generating is, it's not just randomly put trees everywhere, but it can realy compete with "painted manually by humans" terrains.

@Telthalion: Go

Atlantis ;) Nice job btw.

@Zolden: Go

We had one where you had a random chance of getting some terrain samples, you then had to make stuff within those limitations. So that fits your questions pretty well.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

The domes are made of a bunch of Y-scaled Temple Gates rotated around a central point.

@Scbroodsc2: Go

I figured it's deep enough that the caustics won't be visible, so I left those out intentionally. And I'm not a big fan of camera blur effects, so I usually don't use those for anything.

For my bubbles I have a giant biodome hidden under the ground that shoots bubbles everywhere. Can't see it very well in the screenshots, but it's really noticeable in motion.

Map attached to my original post.

@Scbroodsc2: Go

You need my Sirocco tileset in your SC2InstallDirectory/Mods/ folder.

So, I was browsing through my old WTE's (one in particular ;) ;) ;) ) and decided to try and remake a centrepiece of one of them. Try and guess which one it is!

holy shit
