Model Contest Idea Thread

[Cavman]

Ok, as the name says, this is the thread where people suggest what they want for the next modeling competition. The contest isn't gonna be for a while though, so we have plenty of time to argue, flame, and vote on a theme. Ok? lets start.
I say:
Flying Unit
Gnome/Dwarf Stuff
Creep Caster Unit or
Creep Warrior Unit

what do you guys say?

 

[ike_ike]

Morphing units.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I say bacon! But I always say that.

Food item doodads?

 

[Callahan]

I'm ok for caster or warrior units.

 

[HappyTauren]

Skeletons or Demons!

 

[Dionesiist]

I say Vampires! :B

 

[communist_orc]

Bacon sounds very tempting... But im for Flying/mechanical Units ^^ Gnome Flying Fortress!!!

 

[donut3.5]

Old theme ideas I remember being set aside:
Ward
Elemental
Double unit
Some other ones I forgot.
New ideas:
Critter
(have we already done weapon pack?)
Some sort of Defense Tower (guard tower, arcane tower, burrow, etc.)
Chimera (unit hybrid, e.g. centaur, mermaid, etc.)
And I wont be hosting this next one.

[HappyTauren]

Elemental! Suggested many times, never done

 

[Cavman]

why not Donut, your a good host!

 

[Just_Spectating]

a race mega unit.

 

[donut3.5]

why not Donut, your a good host!

Because I'm leaving on the 16th of June for pretty much the entire summer, and wont have a WC3-installed laptop with me.
But ty for the compliment!

[Rao Dao Zao]

Didn't we do elemental last time, or the time before?

Oh, wait, that was siege machines. Ehehe. Heh. Heh.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

My idea is:
Realistic human model (male or female)

 

[Just_Spectating]

how bout a funny theme.

 

[DwarfZealot]

no..... Im for flying or mechanical!

 

[gohan43]

i think video game characters would be cool (minus all anime/manga stuff(naruto/dbz/bleach/etc..))

 

[Callahan]

a race mega unit.

I approve.
Let's make a race titan unit type.

 

[Dionesiist]

I approve.
Let's make a race titan unit type.

This meets my unimportant approval.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Sounds like an excuse for a free-for-all?

I mean, the only binding thing I can see about the word 'titan' is epic size. And considering what WC3 likes to do with culling and extents at large scales, I'm not even sure that's a very good idea...

 

[LiOneSS]

i suggest a wow-like theme. or a free theme with only using in-game textures

 

[Just_Spectating]

in-game textures was used before for a doodad model packing, for anything you wish.

we could go for "a New unit for a race"

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

A super unit, kinda like in Supreme Commander they have this huge spider against lots of small weak robots? We should do that.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Bah, Galactic Collossus pwns Monkeylord every day of the week.

 

[Pyritie]

Elementals!

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

Because I'm leaving on the 16th of June for pretty much the entire summer, and wont have a WC3-installed laptop with me.
But ty for the compliment!
--donut3.5--

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

there would be just one Gobinking left!

oh and please no elementals i have no idea what kind elemental would be goblinish

 

[Pyritie]

oh and please no elementals i have no idea what kind elemental would be goblinish

Uhh... robot elemental? I dunno.

 

[frostwhisper]

Elementals, definitely.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

Mass elementals would be boring imo... i would rather go with the game characters idea.

 

[Callahan]

I totally loath game character theme because there is absolutly no room for imagination.

 

[Lord_T]

I think,,,, NEW UNIT FOR AN EXISTING RACE!

 

[Callahan]

I think,,,, NEW UNIT FOR AN EXISTING RACE!

It's ok for me though i don't like any of existing races
By races you mean Human,Orcs,NE and UD? or does it include creeps?.

 

[Lord_T]

Including creeps. Instead of race, Let's say... faction. (Including Bloodelves, diff. denominations of dwarves, That stuff, snow trolls)

 

[Just_Spectating]

ok, heres a good theme. Usees MUCH imagination here.

Create your OWN race, and create ONE unit from your race.

 

[donut3.5]

Way too broad.
Anyways, elementals seems like the most common theme here.
As Elenai is currently gone, DvO or GF will have to step up to the plate.
If neither can, I will, as I'll have WC3 from the 10th-12th of July, so if we get this contest started by June 10th at latest, I could do all my evaluations then.
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

Or you could host it (unless you want to participate)
You don't need WC3 to host a modeling competition, just to judge, and the competition would be over way after you get WC3

 

[donut3.5]

HT said he would if Ralle would let him.
He's a very qualified person to host, but I'm hoping his minimodship wont get in the way.
--donut3.5--

 

[Pyritie]

Minimodship? There's nothing left to minimod, if all he is is models!

 

[HappyTauren]

Pyritie, look at the model section...

 

[LiOneSS]

please no elementals that is boring D: and afaik wc3c already had one D:

 

[frostwhisper]

No. They had a skinning session on elementals, which Obviously, failed.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

What are you talking about? It worked fine at Wc3c.

I'd like super-units, but at the same time, making elementals would give me a reason to start a challenge I've been thinkg about for a long time: making a unit with only particle emmitters.

No way I'd be able to do that, I'll take super-units.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Elemental isnt so broad, not much different you could do besides have it like a rock golem/water elemental, but have attachments and particles.

 

[HappyTauren]

Believe or not, you can go crazy when making elementals. You just have to get an unique concept.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i had an idea but i forgot. for the theme.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

The theme should be Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up -- model one of the characters from the hit video.

 

[JetFangInferno]

The theme should be Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up -- model one of the characters from the hit video.

Lmao. You guys really should try elementals and for us who specialize in sfx, we could attempt to create an elemental entirely out of particles. That would be a plus lol.

 

[donut3.5]

Note: Elementals isn't constrained to particle abuse, for those who think it is.
Stone golems are an example of very solid elementals.
Pretty much an elemental should be a construct of a commonly recurring theme, that is all.
For example: You could have an elemental created out of many pencils, and it would qualify.
Just putting that out there to perhaps shift more positive reviews towards the most likely theme.

[Rao Dao Zao]

Bacon Elemental

 

[ike_ike]

Rig the monster lure to a Golem skeleton >_>
