Modeling Contest 17 - Air Units

[chilla_killa]

@Mr. Bob: What's the poly count?

@M0rbid: You're talking about the Conrad advertising, where a jet is overtaken by a little emote controlled play plane controlled by a little boy?

 

[M0rbid]

Yes I am

Reminds me a lot of it

WIP of the plane itself:

the stars are team colour.

Plane has got 185 polies atm.

Rat-Head has got 340 polies atm.

 

[D a w n]

nice use of the orc car texture. but the mouse needs some more work( the googles and the ears).
but an adorable idea

 

[M0rbid]

This it is

 

[Deolrin]

Haha! Very cute.
Will you add a propeller in the front, a cockpit on top of it, and a tail, though? It seems kind of basic so far.

The ears on the rat kind of suck(should be much bigger), and you could borrow the gyrocopter's googles with an added-in leather strip going through them. Also, perhaps consider changing the eyes(pupils) a bit, they look strange.

 

[PROXY]

Thanks for the comments

Yes, I will work on the mouse/rat head ofc. Will see what I can do
Oh, and thx to you for the orc-car texture, I checked all my models for some cool ideas I could mix up, and found the orccar model you gave me once and when I saw the texture I got the idea

And, yes I will add a propeller in the front, and the cockpit will be like in this pic:

only with one seat though.
and, what exactly do you mean by "tail"?

 

[Deolrin]

Great.
By 'Tail' I mean that thing in the back. Like a wing, only horizontal and small.

New WIPS:

Hidden

Mesh of the plane is finished.

Still need to give animations and finish the mouse

301 polies :3

 

[Deolrin]

Personal opinion, but I don't really like the "double wings", and I think the back part of the plane should be more "round".

 

[D a w n]

I think the "wings" should be a bit bigger. Oh and the glass looks messy right now.

well, the screenshot shoes the back part really bad, it's rounder normally :/ and, what do you suggest to do with the back wings? should I delete them or scale or anything?

I think the "wings" should be a bit bigger. Oh and the glass looks messy right now.

Wich ones? And...do you mean wider/longer or general bigger? And yes, I also noticed it now, will correct the wrap later :3

Thanks for the critics. Will work on it later

 

[Mr.Goblin]

This it is

when he breaks the sound barrier = lovely!

-------------------------

Great great stuff everyone! but not enough goblin machinery >

 

[HailFireer]

Well, I was making a goblin flying thing. I think I did anyway. On hold currently cuz I'm busy >.>

 

[PROXY]

New WIP: improved the wrap here and there and "changed" the wings

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, it looks awesome now!

 

[Rui]

It's looking great, Fan!
Are you going to use that mouse you showed previously? He'll fit in nicely! I loved his scarf!

 

[Mr. Bob]

K I removed the two shield things in the front. Hopefully it looks better now.

Oh and btw, the poly count of the ship is 2500. But, there will be another 500 polies or so for the other stuff I'll put on it.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

That toy plane looks fucking epic, Fan. And the rat pilot will be a great addition to it as well.

 

[Mr. Bob]

lol I'll just keep spamming wip entires if that's ok. XD

Anyway, wrap is pretty much done.

 

[Just_Spectating]

and i'll post after you so you can keep posting

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

umm right. since i am not doing much anything right now, i got list of all the wips and entries that people have shown.
make sure you give them more feedback and such. even for ones that have been shown way at the beginning because people would have forgotten about them.

Thanks to you too
And yes, ofc I will use him. I will finish him next, then merge everything together and give everything the right animations

Thanks for the feedback guys

Oh and, nice WIP Mr.Bob

EDIT:

New WIP :3
Fixed some of the Wrap, gave the mouse new glasses, (thanks to Debode for the gyrocopter texture idea :3) and merged everything together. The chest and the hands of the mouse are still missing though, as well as particles and animations

- 565 polies atm. I think it will go to ~650 or so.

 

[Devine]

Thanks

Spoiler for big img

Cool concept, although I think Steward Little already flew an airplane but I'm not so sure.

 

[Deolrin]

I think the googles should be bigger, and he should get a back to his head.
Also the pupils look weird - he looks evil.

 

[Rui]

Yeah, perhaps you could give him some blue or green iris and white sclera (the white part of the human eye). He'd look cute!

Damned, you got me :3

Ok, will make the googles bigger, but, he has got a back at his head. It's just unseeable here.

Ok, will see what I can do with the eyes Thanks for the feedback

 

[Fingolfin]

@Fan: The wrap on the back of the fusilage still needs some work. It looks stretched and twisted in an unnatural way.
Other than that, great mesh and great use of ingame resources!

 

[chilla_killa]

Erm Pyra, you forgot me in your WIP list.
Here's my last WIP:

Mhm yes, I already thought about the wrap of it, but since the texture is so small (the plane part) that this is the best I could pull outa it :/ but I will see what I can do

 

[D a w n]

you could still use a bigger part of the textre for your wrap

 

[PROXY]

Omg, I'm so dumb^^ I completly ignored that part lol Thanks, will fix the wrap asap

 

[Mr. Bob]

This is probably the 6th or 7th wip. D:

Anyway, just showing the redone front area, and a new weapon. And yes, you can switch weapons via "upgrade" anims.

 

[PROXY]

Mr.Bob: Awsome Very creative texture choice

 

[tee.dubs]

Rhinolox Coleoidus

I'm submitting this as it is now just in case something happens and i don't get to finish it properly.

The name comes from the latin terms for 'nose', 'elephant' and 'squid', basically that means 'big-horned elephoctapus' despite the fact that it flies somehow.


*things left to add:

-event objects
-origin of species

 

[Tails96]

Thanks! also that's an awesome idea, i'll only update that post in that case.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

._. oh, im sorry tee.dubs, i thought you were done with it. If you edit the model and resubmit it ill change the link to the new post, you dont have to edit the post

You really know how to animate... so many tentacles. and still, so good looking

WIP

Lets see how far I get before I give up as usual

 

[Midnighters]

Screw it, I ain't even gonna try anymore.....

 

[chilla_killa]

My model is now wrapped and animated.
I just need now Particles and Sound Effects etc.
Unfortunately I made a big mistake at animating.
The anims are okay, but they're backwards if you understand.
How can I rotate all bones, without having to redo all animations?
I somewhere read about adding a Root bone, but I don't understand what that means.
Can I do it in Magos?

Been ages since I've touched magos, but I think this is how you do it:
- Make a new bone
- Make all of your "top level" bones be children of that new bone
- Add some sort of sequence to it so it is always rotated

 

[HailFireer]

Pyramidhe@d mentioned it. He said you just rotate the root bone 180 degrees. Don't know if it works tho.


And about my model, idk if I will finish it by the deadline...

looks like that one pokemon

hoppip

 

[Pyritie]

hoppip

HMM I WONDER WHYl

 

[HailFireer]

Must be accident. There is no way that you took the idea from that Pokemon. Absolutely no way, not in any galaxy, universe or dimension. Just simply no way.
