Good morning/afternoon/day my friends, wherever you're all from. I apologize for the lateness, I got caught up yesterday night when I was supposed to be posting it and ended up forgetting to do it. Here's a new one, though!
Weekly Terraining Exercise #2
This week, the theme will be "To be king you don't need a castle" (cookie for the reference). What does this mean, you ask? Well, it means you're supposed to make the house, camp, spawning place or what-have-you of the leader/boss of a faction. This can be a home of a mining operations' overseer, the 'home' of an embedded Zerg cerebrate or the temple of a highly-ranked Protoss templar. Or even Mengsk's palace, if you feel so inclined. Go wild, I'd love to see what you make of this.
This is something I threw together, I didn't have time to join the last time, so I thought I'd do something quick for this time, and if I have time I'll try to do something more.
Some information on my take on the theme.
I instantly thought about someone who isn't significant at all, but when he is in the company of some who are less significant, he feels like a king.
Hence: "To be a king you don't need a castle"
(To point out the obvious: The Urubu feels like a king next to small crows (and also the things on his head (feathers?) are similar to a crown :P))
That's pretty awesome Zarakk. It's not what I had in mind, but you got quite creative. Also, your terrain looks really awesome. The whole farming thing works really well and even the background with the highway does the trick. This could be a place that really exists, I reckon.
To take screenshots, print screen should do the job. If you want to do it in game, you need to add a trigger that says "turn cinematic mode on".
At Dracoknight; I think there's actually potential there. Try and place the eggs in clusters on the side, it makes no sense for them to ruin the Ultralisks movement. Additionally, see if you can enlarge the Ultralisk so it's less of an anti-climax. Past that, it could use some more details.
This was supposed to be the evil lair of DR. Hanson(Zerged), wich she used to make experiments on zerg and return to normal.
But for the love of myself i couldn't scale the unit to make it look up to scale. If anyone can help me there ill apreciate it. I saved the map and did with hydras and it worked on my friends pc for hydras but not for hason, it doesn't work for hydras or hanson in my pc though.
But whatever here are my pics, let's just imagine she is outside picking new zerg specimens.

aHmmm you might want to add some characters in their :)
maybe some scientists? Also i like the idea, but give it more of a Security place, cause i dont get the feel that im there, if you know what i mean, cause something that big of a Ultralisk would require alot of guards.

Woo, can't wait to get started!
I'm already working on three projects now. :x I better stop while I'm ahead :O
oooo I like :D off to the editor

Hmmmmm sounds interesting :) Hmmm i have an idea for this. Just gotta put it on to terrain :D
My interpretation was a the lab of a scientist: I hope you like it :)
Quick question guys, how or what are you using to take these screenshots? Like, without the UI and everything.
Is it in the editor?
@Pandonetho: Go
I would imagine they're just disabling the UI with a trigger
ctrl + prtscr makes a "Terrain" screenshot so you dont need to fix it...
my contribution: Ultralisk lair ( yes i suck... >_< )

Here's my first try at terraining in the sc2 editor. putting the settings on high just about killed my poor laptop. any suggestions are welcome.
I think Im gonna participate this time. We have time til next week right ?
Nevermind saw a way to work it out
still need to find a way how to rotate stuff or copy the direction to more dodads
Hmmmm. i thought i might as well get use to entering in these contests/ i think their should be a prize at the end of it ;)
Anyways here is the start of my Ultralisk Lair. WIP.
This was supposed to be the evil lair of DR. Hanson(Zerged), wich she used to make experiments on zerg and return to normal.

But whatever here are my pics, let's just imagine she is outside picking new zerg specimens.
It might not be perfect, but this is deff the house to live in.
Really like it im impressed with the small changes you made, they really meant a lot to the map.
Funny, the lighting is great and i liked the simple idea.
Did you know there is a zergling called SM Zergling in character wich is really detalied it might help for that pic.
Here is my entry.
And the big temple in the middle with the mothership on top of it is the little "king castle". lol
See those blue lines? Those are like roads for protoss. And those little buildings are like houses and whatever humans have.
And i want able to take a picture in-game because my comp specs were horrible so i took a picture using the editor.
aHmmm you might want to add some characters in their :)
maybe some scientists? Also i like the idea, but give it more of a Security place, cause i dont get the feel that im there, if you know what i mean, cause something that big of a Ultralisk would require alot of guards.
