My only concern is the ground texture is a lot, but It is really pretty in general. We need of this kind of thing.

LEAcres · Dec 1, 2023 9:49 AM

Ammit - is this one still too much texture?
(I'm starting to get the AI prompts to listen to what im asking for finally)

Edit - I didn't like the drapes on the one above but I was able to take the OG drapes and add the minimal sand texture of the 2nd attempt

Edit 2 - I'm working on dulling down ground texture on the other 2

Ammit · Dec 1, 2023 10:15 AM

These are great! :)

LEAcres · Dec 1, 2023 3:31 PM

Worked with the current Colosseum background and added an interactive pillar for a trophy

Edit : cleaner versions

I was thinking about what showing in December would look like, and it has to look like different things depending on where you live. I don't know if there are any horse shows during the snowy season, but you could always do something at your riding barn.

Something to note about this image, is the windows are actually blank. And you can put any image in the background.

Winter-Arena

I added some strings of fairy lights. I thought about making them colored, and maybe adding some wreaths, but it was looking kinda tacky lol. If it's something you'd like to see, I can do it.

Ammit · Dec 3, 2023 4:54 AM

So keep in mind that the only thing that can be in the windows is what you put in them because backgrounds in the game can't have blank areas. So feel free to submit the image with several different things in the windows if you want. Or as is is great too!

CheshireFarms · Dec 3, 2023 7:49 AM

@Ammit I was thinking more along the lines of if you wanted to edit them, you'd have that option (specially with all the other Winter stuff people are submitting) But I can upload them with a bunch of stuff no problem.

Ammit · Dec 3, 2023 8:00 AM

Who is the you in this? Not sure if you are thinking of stacking multiple backgrounds in the tack editor. The game isn't set up to do that so it would not work.

I liked the suggestion @Humbolt had about a gazebo so wanted to give it a shot. I can also change it up for a more spring or summer look.

Ammit · Dec 3, 2023 9:30 AM

I would very much rather have a spring/summer look. We have too many winter entries.

Ammit · Dec 3, 2023 10:27 AM

Still tons of time to enter but I have tossed some of my favorites in a gallery for people to check out. This does not mean anything will or won't win I just grabbed some decent ones as examples.

Please note how everything here as a good clean ground area

@Ammit sorry the "you" in this was YOU lol. I just assumed you had some editing software and you could change it to what ever you wanted. But I'm guessing that's not the case lol. So I'll find some game backgrounds or make my own to use.

Also, you said you wanted "December at the Showgrounds" and "December holiday-themed" backgrounds. This Florida girl was wracking her brain to try and give you winter time stuff lol.

Ammit · Dec 3, 2023 11:44 AM

It's more that realistically we don't have the bandwidth to make a bunch of backgrounds to put in it.

LEAcres · Dec 3, 2023 1:22 PM

Disregard

LEAcres · Dec 3, 2023 3:41 PM

Disregard this... I've been coming back to it for the last 2 days and decided it didn't look that great

kgstable · Dec 3, 2023 6:25 PM

@AlAsseelStable You've inspired me to procrastinate on adult things and start getting creative :)

CheshireFarms · Dec 3, 2023 7:04 PM

@kgstable right? I blame Ammit and everyone here for my adulting not getting done. What horrible influences you all are LOL

GoldenHeartAcres · Dec 3, 2023 8:13 PM

@LEAcres, I love the dressage one!

LEAcres · Dec 5, 2023 9:10 AM

Fiddler · Dec 5, 2023 10:35 AM

@LEAcres, i love your autumn trees!

LEAcres · Dec 5, 2023 1:12 PM

@Fiddler me too but I also know ammit is looking for spring/summer so I made another version just in case :x

MackZ · Dec 5, 2023 2:05 PM

@LEAcres I am loving your backgrounds! To me, they're just the right balance of realistic and artistic.

Starstruck2 · Dec 5, 2023 7:53 PM

@LEAcres I love these!

RKO · Dec 6, 2023 6:56 AM

Yep I love them too

LEAcres · Dec 6, 2023 9:20 AM

Thank you..

Cross country course (took a bit to figure out how to get this concept to present properly)

annismyrph · Dec 6, 2023 2:46 PM

WOW! LEAcres you are creating some amazing work !

bluchrystals · Dec 11, 2023 9:35 AM

Oops. I misread.

Ammit · Dec 11, 2023 9:40 AM

I am looking for show grounds stuff not spring summer stuff :)

Ammit · Dec 12, 2023 6:46 AM

This is your reminder that things are winding down. Entries will close at some point on Friday morning game time.

Ammit · Dec 14, 2023 6:24 PM

Just an FYI for everyone There is no need to post a horse in your images. I will have to do that with every single one to test it anyways. Great thing to do for your own testing but I don't need it. :)

paradoxphoenix · Dec 14, 2023 7:07 PM

I love the snowy birch one!

OopsDotCom · Dec 14, 2023 8:53 PM

Yes, it's beautiful. But I also like the trophy room. Unique.

bluchrystals · Dec 15, 2023 4:08 AM

There's a lot of images on this post that I'd love to see with my horses! :x

Ammit · Dec 15, 2023 8:40 AM

Entries now now closed. Thank you everyone for your entries. I will go through all these entries as soon as possible.

Ammit · Dec 16, 2023 7:09 AM

Winners have been selected but Jenx returned to Bulgaria with a dead PC. After a week of repair shops and buying a new one he is setting up his new rig this weekend. We expect to be able to share the uploaded winner files on Monday.

Ammit · Dec 18, 2023 7:41 AM

Winners have been uploaded!

Thanks so much to everyone who submitted an entry. it was a ton of fun seeing all your creativity, and it was a lot of work for Jenx and I go through them all and pick out our winner. Our number 1 criteria was how well it fit the theme and then number two was how good the horse looked in the image.

FYI for transparency's sake: We made some very minor alterations to a few images like flipping the image, or fixing some cropping. Some winners also submitted alternative versions. I am sending out 10 GMTs for each unique background that won and 2 additional GMTs for each variant of the background we included.

I will post the winning images and send out the GMTs but this is a giant mountain of work so please give me some time to get to it.

ETA: GMTS have been sent on all servers and images added!
