[center]City Scape Contest[/center]

---

To raise activity in our terrain forum I've decided to host a little terrain content. The theme will be city scape on badlands. I've done most of the known city scape methods till day and I would like to see any new blends or concepts. While some may think that everything has been done in badlands, it's so not true. I believe I've proven the opposite once already with this topic, and I think there are loads of more stuff to discover.

Guidelines

• Terrain must be made by you. Steal terrain and Moose will eat your children.
• Must submit terrain either in images(.jpg or .png) or the whole map.
• Images must be in the original zoom from editor or from ingame. But it is good to show how it looks in editor and ingame.
• Images must be in best possible quality. If you're not sure how to get good quality out of .jpg, use .png instead. I don't need lame .jpg blurs over your blends.
• You can submit as many images as you want to show the city scape you've made from many views. But you may submit only 1 city scape(1 map).
• No entry fees.
• You don't have to make a full working city, it would take weeks to make. A small piece of a city is enough. Like few streets crossing between like 5 or 6 buildings. You have to show all you skill and concepts in this piece of city. You can expand it if you fell like you need more.
• Either PM me the images/map or post them up in this topic.
• You can use units to improve the city environment.
• You can use sprites, but by any means don't cover your blends with sprites. If I won't see the blends, I will consider that there are no blends under sprites.

Judging Criteria
There will be 2 judges. I and one volunteer hired by me. You can sign up for the spot but I will choose it at the end. I will judge everything.

• Known blend usage. (0-10)
• New concepts and blends. (0-15)
• City-like environment (0-8)
• City scape content and layout. (buildings, streets, yards, parking lots..) (0-10)
• Building composition. (Shops, different window tiles, other decorations..) (0-7)

-----------------------------
= 5,192

Um Dead.... did you ever go to maths?

*wacks calculater*

I still get a total of 5,192... is this british or somthing? Is the extra 2,795 my bonus? We should run thiscontest more often.

I bet no one can out-donate me. Come on, prove me wrong!

Yes and now you have no minerals left. Now you just have to win the contest to get them back.

ADDITION:
I have made my donation now I win the magic boxes then donate it.

The only problem now is to get a real contest of it so the money can be distributed.

Y'know, never in my life has there been a twenty-fourst of December.

Count me in. Ill work my ass off for this one.

Do you see the +what I get from posts in that. Which probably means that DEAD is going to be giving minerals to the pot as well. I think he is adding that in there.

I just copy/paste my mineral count before I post.

+600 from me. I have no use for them anyway

EDIT: make that 780

Nice.

we sure have more donators than contestants lol.

I'm poor, but you can have 25 of my 30 minerals... gee. I should post a wee bit more. Maybe I should also spam posts too. Yes... that would be great. >:)- Oh, the donations! Enjoy the dinky amount of money though.

for some reason i cant donate kiwis

Still prime donator (This, DEAD, is apparently a contest as well - who can donate the most.).

can two people work on one city and yuo split? or just 2 people work on 1 city anyway and you just give it to that person.

I would love to see this idea
have a building->sidewalk->street->dotted line for middle
If anyone could pull that off they would be one of the best for this contest.

Also some suggestions
parking spots with cars in them, have them facing the right way using triggers
cars on the roads
fire hydrants

It doesn't have to be a full city, just a little piece of city that shows all your skill. But yea, you can team-work, still it's only 1 entry.

Wow! I'm in ... uh ... what's the word to describe it...
The white flag is out and this contest is under way!

Can anyone knock me off my feet anymore?

funny, i already have a realy good "city scape" done, but i have no way way of getting it off the computer its on...

Remake it then lol.

Put it on a blank CD?

city scape has to be badlands?

Not really, you can try other tilesets as long as you follow the guidelines.

Maybe I should give this a try, but don't expect much, I've never tried to make a terrain before
