[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. thumbup.gif


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)


Prizes

I think the pot system will do just fine in there. I as the host will give away all my minerals I will have at the moment. Fell free to donate minerals by sending the to me. Because you know the system, "bigger pot = bigger prizes". happy.gif

Current pot - 12,360 minerals + minerals I get from posts

1st place winner aka "Best City Scape 2006" - 60% of the pot

That would be DEAD, not Doodan. In reference to the pot, he's using the minerals he already had as well.

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. tongue.gif

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.

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.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by lll on 2006-11-27 at 21:52:34
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.
