Mini-Modeling contest #4 - TOWERS

[-Peper-]

Oh yeah?
To me that is a futuristic space station.....
And like Goolygot said, why the faces aren't connected?

 

[Revilo]

Well I did say i would make something futuristic.

As to the faces I'll join them when I'm ready.

 

[darkdeathknight]

I have a new Wip(pretty messy WiP), Nothing pretty extraordinary, except i have started on the front now. I have to put some more triangles on some of the red flesh bit (fig2), and I have to fill the bottom of the fleshtower (fig3) but apart from that I'm doing pretty well.

 

[RED BARON]

My first wip not sure if i'll stick with it.

Reminds me of some sort of crystal thing.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Small update:
Added skulls on the tower, and the glowing eyes will be teamcoloured.

Notes:
- The skulls will have some colour tinting when the mesh is completed and exported.
- The glowing eyes are made of square planes, thus you see the awkward look on the image. It will look better when the model is exported.
- You could say that the skulls came from monsters with big nostrils, thus you see the nose hole part being huge. =P
- Still need to add more accessories before I can start on the demon.

 

[Mr. Bob]

K well here is my submission. This is a mortar tower. Have fun!

And yes...this time the preview is an ingame screeny.

(BTW the particles in magoes look nothing like the particles in game. Like at all.)

THE CLIFF TEXTURE CHANGES AUTOMATICALLY DEPENDING ON WHAT MAP TILESET YOU USE.

 

[-Peper-]

Wow, i'm totally addicted with the dead anim!

 

[Titania]

Great model ! I hope you post that to the model resource!

 

[Revilo]

............................wow, just wow

 

[The_Silent]

I'm going to participate

 

[RED BARON]

Its awesome Mr Bob, really nice work and the texture cliff detail just adds to the overall greatness. The only thing would be that some more animations, since that would make the model so sweet. Right now its only has those few animations and one of them is just particle's + up and down movements. If some more stand animations with the canon moving or something happening with the barrels, perhaps with the rocks getting scattered in multiple directions when it dies, to give a greater impression of a armoury/gunpowder depot that explodes under the structure.

 

[Ikithe]

I don't think I can learn to animate fast enough. D:

 

[Zealon]

@Mr bob, that is definatly the best model so far ......sorry sham

 

[SetaSouji]

is it possible for me to join in?

 

[The_Silent]

A very Early Wip No i need a lot of work yet, but just wanted to update people ^^ Its some kind of advanced Tesla/Plasma Tower

 

[Zealon]

Wow that looks really good; I can't wait to see the final result, it'll be epic ;D

 

[Jaret]

Wow, The_Silent, your tower is awesome. Nice and futuristic.. Meh likes it!

 

[AIagremm]

The tower is simply awesome, +rep ^^

Cant wait to see the final version, it can be used for some many things... reactor, slime/plague tank, tesla/plasma tower and on and on...

 

[The_Silent]

Okay, Almost Finished Only needs animations, a fueltank at the side, fix the door, Attack, Stand Ready, Stand, Death and Birth Animation xD Hope you still like ^^

And also, what do you think about making the top spin right before it sends a lightning/plasma bolt against its target? ^^

Dosen't really looks like a slime tank anymore :/ but well, will do a slime tank afterward then xD

 

[Revilo]

New design, the last one was annoying me >.>

 

[darkdeathknight]

Just to encourage myself I made another Wip, this time its the hand! The hand not overly important, and each finger will not be animated.

 

[The World Is Flat]

The_Silent:

Some steam coming up from the base, and the top part spinning would be sexy, Damn i wish you were on my team. I can't even model close to this.

 

[AIagremm]

The_Silent:

Totally agree with The World Is Flat, though I think that instead of steam you should have cold air coming out from the base.

 

[RED BARON]

Nice looking the silent. Though if you utilize the steam idea, I believe you should make it more like green oozing fog or something. Like in the movies when a cryo-chamber opens.

 

[The_Silent]

Sounds like an nice idea, allthough the "chamber" currently are team colored which makes it hard to make team colored paticle emitters that looks anything like steam or gas xD

Well might just remove the team color anyway ^^ will se what looks the best

Edit: When it comes to it, I actually think it might be a good idea with team colored fog, since all of those idears would be possible at once

Another minor update
Construction:

Mind you that this is a picture taken inside milkshape so in the finished version: the black parts wil be alphaed away, that the fence will be visible on all sides and you won't be able to see the bones ^^

 

[RED BARON]

Edit: When it comes to it, I actually think it might be a good idea with team colored fog, since all of those ideas would be possible at once

HeHe teamcolored fog gotta be the next thing to be "In", and maybe team colored attacks afterwards

TeamColor TD here I go.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Okay Im up to animation now, But I need an opinion on something, Do you think the base of the SkinTower should be left nice and clean like in the WIp below or Messy with extra skin like in my Concept?
Wip

And Concept

It's a big Pic

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

If you are planing on making up an Undead fleshy tower, I suggest you to add more rotten skin to it. Like on abominations. More blood could be useful as well, and the dark-spectral purple would look good for scuttled blood.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

what is wrong with the hive in making such gory stuff?
Not only you, but pyramidhead with his leach drawing etc. HAHA


anyway the concept is lovely, but I suggest you to make it more gory, add more stiches and blood etc.

 

[HappyCockroach]

a little wip.



this is my concept

I like the concept picture better.. gives of a better feeling of "being a skin tower" which also appear somewhat alive.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Hey I put some extra flesh on the bottom, Thats the model finished, Now Ill do some texturing! I wonder if theres a "how to draw dead skin" tutorial...

 

[The_Silent]

Finished




Updates:
Animations (Stand 1-3, Birth, Death, Attack, and Stand Ready)
Camera
Sounds
Attachment Points
Particles and spawn objects
Added team Color

Recommendations:
Use a tweeked version of lightning attack with mana burn lightning for attacks.
Use Ziggurat shadow

Enjoy

 

[chilla_killa]

Awesome mesh and awesome birth animation.
Only thing I don't like too much is the death animation.

Let's see if can make some tower for this contest, too.
Will be something alien-like.

"Shamanyerbutthole" <<<

 

[Mr. Bob]

Awesome model the silent. Definitely gets my vote.

 

[Zealon]

@The_Silent, your tower OWNZ!! I hope you'll upload this in the model section.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Hmmm?

[-Peper-]

What the?! It's the combination of tentacle and scary face!! Too scary for me.....
EDIT:
WiP, now the mesh completed. Begin to wrap......

 

[Just_Spectating]

[D a w n]

don't worry.
i did that last night at like 2 am.

[iAcce]

Silent, what programs are you using to make your models?
And also, can you link them so i can Dl em?

 

[Just_Spectating]

a better, scarier wrap.
still need to rework the face/ find a different texture
and add details

 

[Zealon]

@Just_Spectating, I aree with peper, that is just WAY too scary for me...

it comes out of the ground and smacks you in the face...

 

[Just_Spectating]
