TERRAINING CLAN!!!! (Dont Vote Yet)

I think the screenshot is good. Really it just needs more details. (shrubs would be a good addition. Oh and one little thing. I don't think I've ever seen coral grow in a stream before.

Anyway, you are in.

To All Members: Read the first post again. I've made some adjustments.


For a name, Guild of Warcraft Worldscapes, or Warcraft Worldscapes Guild both sound ok.

Yeah I had to do it really fast before band practice. Thanks though that I'm in. That's one of the reasons I joined was to get tips from you guys. Also one thing I would like to know is do you know how to make an invisible bridge. (I saw that screen shot of the guys crossing the waterfall).

hey no one ever told me if i was in.

also, i posted the not illegal until your caught, but im talking about like, real life stuff (drugs)(stealing)(other stuff we wont go into). If you steal other peoples WORK however, your a loser.

my bnet name is 13d-evilwolf

Dont know y you wouldnt, but like im not the president or anything you want I cant really decide

Heres a screen shot i made tell me what you think about?

can we please just chose a name? I'm starting to stop caring. Evils right, or maybe it was petrey. Something simple. No other languages. Also i should be on bnet within a month *plz god*

With Dark Angel's permission, I would like to set some things in stone.
I think it's time one of us decided on a name; A name is the highest priority right now, and it seems simple enough.

Can we officially call the clan:

'Warcraft's Guild Of Worldscapes'

It is simple, with the major pieces covered. It is important that "Warcraft" is somewhere in the name to distinguish what 'worldscapes' we create. Guild is a great 'union' kind of word. It is simple and has a good midevil ring to it. Worldscapes is what we work on, simple as that. The clan name can can be abbreviated WGW or WGoW.

Can we all agree on THIS clan name? If you have any comments, we can adjust what we have here in anyway, but this should be a group decision. This way we can all decide and have input on what our affilitation will be.
If nobody sees a problem with WGW, we can start to Tag our members with titles and make some sort of unification in our signatures. Perhaps we can find somebody to make a small image in Photoshop that we can all share. I can make a banner as soon as I get photoshop back to life. Like I said earlier, any form of unification will help us get underway with as little confusion as possible. With that said, does anybody have any arguments or alterations they would like to make with my suggestion, feel free.

Perhaps we are not just terrainers but 'scapers' ?

:D

EDIT: Note to Dark Angel- I just reworded what you had for the clan name, it seemed to me that the 2 W's (Warcraft-Worldscapers) made the name a bit of a tongue-twister, Using 'guild' as a seperation makes it flow better. Also, Prolly better if it doesn't sound related to "world of warcraft" :) I read over your first post again, thanks for making the changes, but perhaps now we can start establishing a formal Membership Post?

EvilWolf-I know what you mean about it not being 'illegal', I agree, just see that as reinforcing my argument that people will justify things that are just not cool. :D

Lastly, I don't want anybody to think that I'm trying to steal the show here with any fancy-shmancy posts, I would just like to add some of input. I'm fine with any decisions/disagreements that are made. I don't care if you can or can't 'terrain', your input is still valid.
-Thank You-

Ok I agree with this name and every other name! In truth I dont care about the name...

And why are you saying no other language toxic, else we would call this
Les createurs de monde
Les paysagistes de warcraft loll!!!
la guilde des paysagiste
les tueurs de corbeaux paysagistes!!!!!lol
Ive got tones of Idea! lol

and we could even have a son related to our theme...

Comme un sage,
Monte dans les nuages,
Monte d'un étage,
Viens voir les paysages....
loll
I am really crazy
:ggani:
seriously don't think english is the world language...

What language do the majority of the members on this board speak? I'm aware that English isn't the ONLY option. But yeah, It's good you are thinking about it. :D

(Oh, nice screenshot) :D

(Have an idea- Since different people want different levels of criticism for their work, each member should post some value of tolerance they want for their work. I myself want as much helpful criticism as i can get to advance. I would be (let's say, on a 1-3 scale) A '3'. If you don't want people to be Harsh on you, you can say you're a 1. This number will be somewhere in your signature. A 2 is neutral; You don't want people to Pick on every last detail, but you would like some insight. Keep in mind, This system should be honored, if implicated: Remember that their is no Bashing or Flaming of people's work. This system is to keep people happy and interested, not discourage or anything else like that. Does anybody have thoughts on this? My CL (Criticism level) is a 3)

*See Signature* (:D or :nono:)

I think that WGW is just fine.

I think we should just get a professional sig designer to make an insignia for us.


I'll be making a member list, as well as scope out the counselors.

^any thoughts on the Criticism Level?

Invisible Bridge

You can use pathing blockers, and just set their pathing to "Walkable". But I don't know if that will make the units look like they're at the right height.

What I did was just for show. You can't really do that in-game. I simply changed the footman and archer's movement to fly and then adjusted their fly height.

I'm glad to see Terrainers banding together.. since it really is the most fundamental and deceptively hard part about map making. I certainly hope that by making this clan it will help to get more Good Terraining out into the public.

meh lets just go with that. Lets not take too much time on this name thingy. And Phantasy.... Have you ever considered how literate i am? i may be one of the smartest kids in honors but i LITTERALY read and write like a five year old *hence pet arena HAR HAR HAR*

Just finished an image (special screenshot, just for the site)
I used a pier as a bridge. Thanks a lot for the bridge idea Dark Angel, it really turned out well (along with the big waterfall ;)) It is full of doodads. Some might find it to be cluttered. Keep in mind, this was made for a screenshot, It was very hard to find a good camera location that wasn't blocked by huge trees, this one is the best I could get. I tried to use the keeper statue/fountain as my focal point for the image, while still having the bridge and waterfall showing. If you have any questions on technique, feel free to ask! If you see anything that physically doesn't work, please tell me.

(I suggest people tag their work)
