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
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.
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.
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
Well, whatever. And yes I think an ice vendor could try to interest you by saying that his ice cream has alot of chocolate in it and it will blow your mind how tasty this is... etc etc. That would be pretty funny though.
As a side idea for a WTE; "what will you do this summer?" You have to create a terrain that shows what you will do and people will have to find out what you will do. So, if you play soccer, baseball, swim, moutain walk, etc. You can all terrain that.
I do have the backup file to save again with modifications. If you like, I can change what doesn't work like the mistakes I don't see.... So, correct me and I'll re-upload of course ;)
Wait... got a better idea. Make a bridge, but unallowing the doodads that were used for all the other bridges. You'll have to use imagination to find a way to do it.
I propose a WTE based on Scale. Playing with the scale effects. Trying to make something big look small, or something small look big or whatever. Play with illusions haha ;)
I've got an idea. Open the Data. Go to units tab, look for any kind of units that speaks in english in sound, pissed, and create or inspire you from what he says. Alot of terran units say funny things.
For example, you could make a Battlecruiser interior in which you can see the commander from shoulder view looking at his crew members with a weird view. This would be the funny sentence: "I have an announcement! I am drunk!"
So you represent what it says. From there, we could try to find out what it is represented, the sound, or just say it and see what could have been change to make it funnier or fit better. It represent some search into the sound, but it's for the fun, always funny to see how stupid some things are.
Eh ya, another idea again. Take whichever you want. Haha.
So, since we are many to participate and we mostly all got at less 3 participations at WTEs, we could try to do a feedback on one of our creation. I mean by that, to find what we had done, and improve our creation. Then, you post at the WTE your "before / after". It gives a week to continue working on a map, instead of always restarting from beginning.
Though, this might not be the best one because new people might just want to creat something randomly and some other might not have keep their maps. Meaning he won't be able to improve that terrain.
But, it could be a kind of dual theme meaning. Like, "the future of past". What could it means? It could be reworking on old map, or creating something that could mix things together that shouldn't. For example, seeing a car in the year 1400, would be kinda weird... So, a spaceship landed to a very old house, or things like that could be interesting.
Are there any kind of "Master thread" where it shows the Major topics on Sc2mapster like the WTE or WDE or whatever exists.

I'm here so I'm going to post another idea.

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

And I got the video ;)
Working on projects:
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.... ;)

Anyway, I'll see about that, maybe tomorrow or later this week. Aw, you make me want to eat some Drumstick, you know, some "epic tasty ice cream" Haha. http://www.nestle.ca/NR/rdonlyres/866E38AA-FABC-48F4-B265-A04B03CB4783/0/SupDS_TripChoc_Mar11.jpg

Here is the result of the video I just created that I spoke about in the WTE 75. Like it?

I wonder if we could make a post with many possibilities and vote for next week's WTE. Hehe.
