Modeling Contest 22 - Mimic

[GhostThruster]

I withdraw from this contest. Too lazy.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Bummer.

 

[skrab]

Attack animation.

EDIT: Here are both Attack animations

 

[eubz]

Why are the roots look like they are being detached from its other during the attack animation?

 

[shamanyouranus]

Cause...they are?

 

[eubz]

Question is, is this intentionally done to be detached?

 

[skrab]

eubz, I use 3Ds max 5 for animating and exporting models to Wc3. This was recorded in 3D max view and not in the Wc3 render. Later when you attach pieces of mesh to the baked bone the things get connected in the final render and export to mdl/x.

 

[Arisato]

Why dont you guy try and see how i can handle this?
Beside, there're some personal reasons again me around here

that ain't personal bro.. i see things in objective ways :/

and i'll be working with -Peper-

 

[-Peper-]

Uhh, we can't get the transformer image out of our heads.

O, my. So here's the reason. Sorry I don't know 'bout this thing Because I use gmax, mdlvis and model editor in creating models.

that, agreed

 

[eubz]

Some updates on emitters.

 

[Xian]

Some updates on emitters.

Emitters are nice,the wrap has improved,but it still looks pretty lacking

 

[eubz]

Thanks, I'm still working on it.

 

[Wandering Soul]

Drop me OFF from the contest...
I have too many task in hand to participate in this contest...
To the rest of the contestants, GOOD LUCK!

 

[Dionesiist]

Rest... of the contestants...? You, sir, are a funny!

 

[rysnt11]

I can't participate (oh... Well..., my mesh going to be unused...)
Gotta recover from my seminoma...
T.T

 

[eubz]

Why is everyone not participating?

 

[PROXY]

I'd love to work on my model, but my milkshape just doesn't work, nothing I tried helped

 

[Deolrin]

I'd love to work on my model, but I'm lazy, and I cannot find a good leather texture. ><

 

[-Peper-]

Transform-able into a car. I know the texture really needs some more love, but there is no matching car texture.

Thanks you, but if I still have time I might still edit the model. 8 days to go dude.

 

[-Grendel]

thats a shitload of creativity right there.

 

[judash137]

What 's the matter with this contest?
- First there are tons of contestant.
- When the deadline nearby, only a few left?
Take first place in a contest with only two contestants is a good example.

 

[-Peper-]

People are busy, duh.

 

[Deolrin]

people are lazy, duh.

FTFY a

 

[judash137]

Damn right!
BTW what's "FTFY"?

[judash137]

P.S. What's up mrs. Judash?

evil, man eating book.

 

[diosilva16]

i ended up using ingame textures because i've been uninspired and the deadline is aproaching. i'm missing the portraits and am still unsatisfied with some animations, but i haven't forgot about this, and i assure you i'll have something to upload in the last minute

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Oh well, here's mine.

I'd be surprised if it were even remotely passable, as such, it's my first piece of scratch work.


Oh well... I'd be satisfied if people agree this is terribly below par.

Just remove war3mapimported for texture pathing.

Now go reject this.

 

[Deolrin]

Well, here's a Work in Progress. Before anyone says I'm copying -Grendel, here's a post from 3\12. I'm thinking that it will fly around magically(particles, if I can pull them off) and bite people. The eye will shoot laser beams or something in Spell.
I'd love to hear some feedback, especially if it includes ideas for teamcolor. Ideas that -Grendel didn't use. (I thought about just making the book use the Human Mage texture with teamcolor instead of the Human Mage + the loading screen leather bit, but that's a lame and boring idea, so it's down in my "only if there isn't a better idea" list).
Also, any sort of ideas for details and improvements will be welcome. Like, for example, how to add text. I do have an idea in mind, but it would be rather high-poly.

You could use "objects\InventoryItems\TreasureChest.blp" for the gold, instead of using a custom texture. The quality difference shouldn't be too big, seeing how the gold is already blurry, on your model.

actually, it looked much worse, i tried hard to make it work

i have that texture in much higher definition, though, but i don't think it's worth the extra kb that don't make that much difference ingame

 

[Deolrin]

Alrighty, next WIP.
I think that'll be the final version of the actual book(before transforming). Also included is a screenshot of the runic inscriptions inside the book, but in order to take that screenshot, I had to remove some details(the glowy eye, the teeth from the sides, etc). Also, that screenshot was taken in Milkshape, so it is darker than it should be.

 

[diosilva16]

my model was rejected in the models section, i've updated my model with the modifications suggested by Frankster, a better portrait and footprint events, custom created using particle emitters though, because i didn't find any fitting to this model's type of walking.
otherwise the model keeps it's appearance so i'm not updating the screenshots

 

[skrab]

Here is my entry. Once again I am disappointed with the result. It did not turn out as I expected.
I did not add teamcolor because I like it without teamcolor.
I'm sorry for the huge file size I'm too lazy to reduce it right now.
I posted .max file. Feel free to edit it.
