Reminder: Terraining Contest still seeking entries

Through the "StarCraft II Editor.exe" in your StarCraft II folder ;)

Good suggestions, n00bonic :)

Post a terran editor contest with a tutorial on how to use the darn thing, then you'll probably see more entries. I'm slowing figuring it out bit by bit, but if you wanna see maps equalling the sample you posted, honestly you may be left holding your breath.

Oh, that was more a direction to aim for, we're not looking for perfection :) It's just another form of canvas that some people can find out how to paint with. Don't fret too much

Entry submitted. Do I get DQ'd for having the staff hold my hand as I figure out the editor? :p

I made mine in four hours last night from 1-5.

I'm sure whoevers reading the emails knows that. Time sent. 5:47 AM.

(I need to sleep).


Also: Question....since it's before the deadline, can I resubmit my entry? I was too sleepy and forgot to turn up my resolution for the shot so i have crappy resolution on my image sent. Plus, just noticed a some issues with it's layout, the crashed ship is positioned in a way that overclutters the shot and detracts from the beauty of the skyline.

:D

Tons more issues I have with the shot. Kept on changing thematic styles halfway through some doodads and the feel of the terrain mismatches with the later stuff I added. Started out just wanting to capture the mournful landscape of a dieing world, not in some grand cataclysm but of slow atrophy, a noble, serene death, and then I got carried away and made a small vignette of a "plot".

(Original shot was just a closeup of the coastline, which is why it's so inordinately detailed compared to the rest of the shot, and the stuff in the front)

Still, it was a pretty nice intro to aesthetic terraining. Never really did that before, not much of an artist. Though I'm pretty familiar with level design.

Also, getting units to pose in the Editor is a bitch -_-.

Shit, didn't think of that. Yeah, I should turn up the quality on mine too. Can I resubmit mine as well?

Also the rock on the mountain on the left kinda looks like a monkey head. Wanna fix that xD.

I miss the news forum waaaah.

And this sucks, I'm in Hong Kong with no access to SC2 and crappy internet. Else I totally would have entered in this contest.

I will personally say that Resubmissions are allowed at this point but I'm not an administrator. I'll get you guys an answer soon if an admin doesn't come here first.

Yeah - resubmit away - just please put in the subject. Resubmission:

:)
