Glad you like it. More grass, 'eh? The hard thing is the trees. Its to hard to make a realistic tree when i cant have many leaves, or my system shuts down. I had to render this in 3 stages just to keep times down to an acceptable level ( *shakes fist* damn you trees!!)

So people could just copy their lost at sea entries and enter them here. That way it wouldn't be something they had made before this compo started and the sea is nature after all. Are you going to enter Dodic?

NOOO I will miss out on your compos for making my own work in something that only provides textures, and requires you to do the rest of the work. Boohoo. I am going to post it anyway.

Please use 3d modeling programs in witch you have to model the whole thing , or else your entry won`t be accept as long as ANY other entry you post from NOW ON.

edit :Undercover Noob`s entry is incuded in that restriction....

No, they are scaled up. The map has over 1 tril poly with just the terrain. The Trees are super tiny because of that.

SWEET! Thanks dodic. I modelled it all. I didnt texture it, but I made the tree model thanks to the plant editor, and I edited the Terrian Hightmap, and I created the 3 plains. Thanks. Also here is the new render.

Are you sure you did the mountains, Its just looks like a default random fractal generation to me, but thats just me. and really programs like that do the sky and sunlight for you, also they do the fog you just change values...I jut think its like using bryce just a better version...

no, vue de espirit, and it has the options of adding cracks, trees, ect to the mountains. I did it all. Seriously, do research. I didnt do the sky, but that is just a texture, doesnt matter. He said modelling, nothing about texturing. And if he does, this compo will be basically gone, because I doubt most people could do modelling, and good textures. Seriously, lighten up. Bryce sucks horribly. WOuld never use that can of crap. The fog doesnt affect polygons, making the 3d. That was just the render. I am far mor clever than most people would imply. No DODIC, you arent going to change the compo rules to fit that, because it was just a render. Not the 3d model. the 3d model is perfectly fine. Settled?

tell me why? If it is because I am using preset tools to modify a mountain I made with simple raise and lower tools, then I will have to tell you that the preset tools are brushes, so i had to do all the work. Not filter modelling. Face the facts, it is modelling, and it is as simple as that.

Souped up version of bryce, all it is same terrain making interface and vegetation generation styles.
Virtually does all the atmospherics for you too. You could give it to a 6 year old and he could mak something half decent, without even knowing hw to model or texture.

riiight. So because I select the field of view, and change type of rendering, can select cloud types, make clouds, make cloud textures, select all the details of the atmosphere (which I did), it is generating? I bought the plant editor extension, which creates plants through your own textures. Then I edited the landscape through the landscape editor(hieghtmap), and then edited the material based on height change. It is a 3d modeller. Man, I dont even care, but it is fun to do this, because people cant seem to get it across, that this thing was my work.

@undercover noob:
That would render all the programs Dodic said you cannot use viable then, as you can edit the terrain and all those features in some way and can modify the heightmaps of the terrain and modify the textures so bryce, mojoworld, terragen according to this are all able to participate in the compo.

I don't call that modelling. Its like the 3d game maker. You choose all the options, but you didn't make the components. Generally, the less work you have to put into something, the less it is your work.
Quote: "I bought the plant editor extension, which creates plants through your own textures"


You didn't model the plants. By modelling, i mean creating a plant from scratch, poly by poly, box modelling whatever. Frankly, i think that all of these competitions should include texturing. Its part of the job. Maybe in larger companies there will be an extra guy to do the texturing but in small companies you gotta do a lot more. In a basic terrain + water nature scene, the modelling makes up for about 20% of the scene. Anyone can move some verts up and down to make mountains. More than half of this compo is about texturing, atmosphere, lighting, sky, ect. All of that was done for you, so I don't think that the entry should count.
Certainly its a useful tool, but i don't think its fair to use it in a contest
Keep in mind that people here are using things like wings, milkshape, blender, ect. Blender does have a terrain generator, but all it does is make some mountains, and color them solid colors(not photo-realistic textures) according to height. I would say even that is not okay either, as you didn't model the mountain. The defining factor in a competition like this should be skill..not the amount of money you have to spend.

Fine, just saying that in all technical terms, I dont care. Never did. Infact, I posted all that to see how pissed people would get. I actually understood from the beginning, and if I wanted to, I could make a real scene. But Dodic said "YOU WILL BE PUNISHED" so I thought it would be funny to do all this. Maybe I will get off my lazy butt and actually try and model something. Not likely.

Posting something that you never intended for a valid entry and just
Quote: "to see how pissed people would get"
in my opinion is really low and you should not have wasted everyones time and the threads space. I mean it may well have
Quote: "thought it would be funny to do all this"
, but noone else did..

Some of use did everything ourselves from modelling and texturing to atmosphere, so stuff like this makes me dissappointed. Apart from the sky texture which i intend to change once my digital camera if fixed, my entry will be 100% homemade. yay this is going to be great fun, too bad i have to start doing much homework real soon

Doing it just to piss us off is worse than doing it cuz you think that it counts as modelling.
You mean it was funny?! hahahahahah.....no.

Time for a 'your not comedian' comment?

@Dodic: In future I think you should sort out the rules before starting a competition instead of changing them when a lot of people may have already started on their entry. The only thing worse than changing rules halfway thorugh, in my opinion, is offering a prize and then suddenly telling everyone that you're not going to be giving the winner a prize anymore and you've done that aswell.

I'm not flaming you, I'm just offering some honest advice.

I AM A MORON
and won't change my sig until I get off my oversized behind and finish a project.

Hey its not bad. All you need is a meshsmooth on terrain and a higher res sky image and itll be good!!

@Smoked: Nature at its most extreme i gather. I dont know how realistic that is because i pity the fool who had to go into a lava tunnel and take a picture!! . Now im going to have to google lava tunnel and compare yours to a photo if there is any.

Good job on all he new entries.

[edit]@ Quoththeraven: thats great ocean on the second pic. If you did that in max as well you should try dreating more realistic water on your entry

another thing i dont know if those trees and shrubs are allowed since they are generated by max. I have max trees in mine but for placeholders until i have time to make my own.[/edit]
