someone define eye candy for wbiro because i'm not gonna waste my time.

I got tons more you guys want to see?

Eye-candy is done through the scenario editor, and not in-game screenshots, unless its from a scenario.

K sorry.

heh thanks kumar didn't think someone actually would..

You seem to have a bit of an attitude Devil, lighten up.

Anyways great pics everyone! I'm lookin forward to more!

Yes, good work.
I am looking forward to seeing the final scenarios/campaigns that will be storming this forum the upcoming months..

And I'm looking forward to a downloads section....

To give some constructive critisism: What the screenies like the Battle Tactics Scene needs is some ambients. No stream or grass is that bare.

Thank you, Kumar Shah, for defining eye candy for me.

BUT... in spit of LicensedDevil's observation, my shot fits the definition for two reasons:

(1) it is an Empires- Dawn scenario that I made, by me, all by myself... (download now!) Battle Tactics for Underdogs

(2) it displays triggered graphics effects (put on your glasses and you will see lightening, fire, and smoke), which is why I submitted it in the first place- eye candy! -thank you very much!!

Here is another, and you won't find this in a stock Empires- Dawn scenario:

Empires- Dawn: Battle Tactics Battle Scene 03_13

interesting, though that technically still isn't eye candy...

but why exactly is it raining fire? has doomsday come while I wasn't looking?

What reasoning brings you to that conclusion

It's really posting a beatiful crafted map, a nice terrain mixing with nice buildings, a city for example, or a enchanted village, or any of the kind.

made this in like 5 minutes, theres plenty of room for improvement

Yes, the first part being adding grass, rocks and elevation.

@wbiro, although it might be from a scenario, it still stands as an action screenshot more than a eye-candy screenshot.

Kumar, I wanted to make a topic where people could post there in-game screenies that aren't eye candy. Should I post that in the SD forum or General forum?

*Steals Kumar's body*
General Forum. This is for SD.

I think we should rename this thread the Scenario Design Screenshots, or something else.

No eye candy thread is just fine, that way only the people who should post in here will.

Doomsday!?

No, Talon! It's not Armageddon, either! its... its... mind-blowing EYE CANDY! Yea, that's what it is! (sorry about the action in the scene- I guess it got in the way! For your info, that isn't stock fire and smoke...

But you did just give me a nice idea to put into a scenario... in the form of a space-time continuum... where- wait, if it works I'll ruin the surprise...

ok, OK!, I think I have it now, so let me try to put Eye Candy into it's proper (and respectible) perspective:

Eye Candy (Pronounced- ieeeee - caaaan - deeeee):

Definition: Eye Candy
"Elements and ideas researched and developed by the blood, sweat, tears, hard work, good will, and just plain genius of scenario designers intended for the benefit of other scenario designers,

ideally consisting of three elements: (1) use of stock scenario elements in standard ways (a basic how-to), (2) use of stock scenario elements in creative ways (eye candy proper), and,

(3) the most advanced aspect- use of stock scenario elements in unforeseen, unintended, and unexpected ways (quirks, if you will, (see Treebeard Quirk) (courtesy of iNtRePiD) (you can keep it a secret)."

Usage:

Noun: "That is really great eye candy, I think I'll put that in my scenario and give it's creator due credit..."
Adjective: "Now that is pure eye candy!"
Adverb: "Eye-candy THIS!"
Pronoun: "Eye Candy want ice cream. Eye Candy want it NOW!"
Proper Noun: "Meet Eye Candy, linebacker for the Miami Dolphins."

heh thanks to whoever stickied it

And Socvazius used my image in the News. I feel so elated that I think I'll make another one.

lol, is eye candy the linebacker's real name, or just his nickname?
