Aye, I know the tileset is horrible, which is exactly why I picked it - If we see multiple variations of the same thing, we can compare how people managed to fill up their stuff and in what way doodads were used. Shakuras and the other weird-coloured-planets are normally indeed horrible to deal with.
Morning/afternoon/evening to you all folks! I've been busy with some stuff regarding the WTE, and I can promise you I've got some cool stuff coming up regarding the theme, style and global format of the WTE's. It's starting this week, with a whole new type of WTE that caters to the completely new terrainers out there. The idea is courtesy of KineMorto. But lets hear it, I think you guys will like this.
Weekly Terraining Exercise #6
This weeks theme is going to be "Bridging the Gap". What that means is this - I've made a really basic terrain on the Shakuras tileset (attached to the post), and I want you to open up that terrain and turn it into a creation of your own. The only catch is that you can't modify any of the terrain already in place - so no removing the cliffs, river, or path I laid down. As you'll see, the path goes straight through the river, which makes the name of this WTE two-sided; it's up to you to find a way to make a good looking bridge across this river. Aside from that, you can do whatever you want. Use it to play around with textures, try out different doodad combinations - pretty this terrain up in your own style, and see how it differs from that of others. Good luck!

You may, if you really want to. I prefer having them myself, but eh :)

The deadline is one week, as usual - that's when the next WTE goes up.
