Modeling Contest 16 - TANKS

[HappyCockroach]

1. we have already had a "siege weapon" contest, and we do not want to broaden the contest constraints so far as to repeat a theme.

Yes sir, we HAD, centuries ago. Even if we start repeating contest themes, they won't be the same, since the modeling community is totally different. It's a shame that this dumb consistency is among our concerns...

Anyhow, I'll think about something different to model.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

well... better start the wips coming!

as you can see only the turret part of the tank is done so far

[HappyCockroach]

May I use the Fetish texture, which I had already done before the contest?
Just for the little buddies that will ride my tank.

Rao Dao Zao was allowed many contests ago, so I guess you are too.

 

[Time-to-die]

This is my wip.

 

[Devine]

This is my wip.

Looks good so far. Keep it up.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

christ pyramidhead, using such incredible custom texture is cheating D:
no fair .....
looks amazing

 

[Time-to-die]

Looks good so far. Keep it up.

Thanks, it probably looks really weird right now, cause I am going to just copy certain objects after I texture them, so I dont have to UV map ever single one if they are the same shape.

does a battering ram counts as a tank?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

A battering ram is a siege weapon, and as i have said, there was already a siege weapon contest. You are free to make a tank with a melee weapon of a sort, but it has to be mechanical. So it has to have an type of engine to power it.

 

[HappyCockroach]

does a battering ram counts as a tank?

If it is heavily armored and has some other weapons to fight with, I guess it can be considered a tank.

 

[pangahas]

Just to be sure I'm posting it here..can I use this concept?Da vinci inspired turtle tank.What's the poly limit?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Yes, your concept is ok for this contest. good luck with your model

6. You must make the model for this competition, which means that you cannot use old works.

[Sheephunter]

Busted!

 

[pangahas]

I was merely asking if I can use the concept, I never mentioned I'm using the same model moreso stated that it's a wip.

 

[skrab]

oh I didn't saw the "can I use this concept?" sentence

 

[PROXY]

puh, soo many kickass "tank" modellers joined the contest, I think I haven't got even a liiiiitle bit of a chance... D:

Anyway before I join I wanted to ask if this concept would be ok for a tank ( Don't think so D: ) nargh, maybe I find another concept if this isn't acceptable...

PS: Don't see this as a "contest joining"!!

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Pangahas, please do not try to submit old work in this contest, you will be disqualified if we find that you have re-used geosets or started modeling before the contest.

Fan, the picture you have posted would be considered a "jeep" it is not a tank. Sorry, but good luck finding another concept.

 

[Pyritie]

Yeah that doesn't really look like a tank, more like a light assault vehicle or something

 

[Tleno]

It looks like combat buggy...

 

[PROXY]

kk, I will look for another concept thx anyway soo, I think I'll join

 

[Mechanical Man]

About pangahas, thats only bunch of cylinders which can be replicated easily in 3 minutes.

Tanks truly aren't the geometrically complicated anyways

 

[HappyCockroach]

Tanks truly aren't the geometrically complicated anyways

nor texturing complicated. even less complicated in animations...
What is complicated in tanks is making an original concept.

btw, wip time:

It's gonna turn out as a tank, believe me.

 

[Kimbo]

Dude, you should make your own concepts :/

 

[Time-to-die]

lolwut? Dont ask me!

 

[anarchianbedlam]

 

[ike_ike]

If everyone who's posted in this thread reps me now, I guarantee that I will submit something. Something. something ... _{something ....}

OH GOD IM SO SORRY PLEASE DONT HURT MEEE

EDIT:

yes. just realised that i can't export the damned thing.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

While not necessarily addressed in the contest guidelines, i would like to ask that the contestants to please refrain from "rep-whoring".... with this said, i would like to add, that your concepts look promising Ike_Ike, and we would like it very much if you decided to join. I am sure that any model you make would be deserving of rep.

 

[hell gate]

lolwut? Dont ask me!

WTF? what makes a tree inside a tank
is animation transfer allowed? if yes may i can try it

 

[vAnKaTa_G.G.]

lolwut? Dont ask me!

10/10 for the tank I died laughing

 

[Gyrosphinx]

I´d like to join, however, don´t expect wips anytime soon, my laptop is dead :´(

I think I´ll do something in between a T18 Boarhound, a LemanRuss and a Lasher Tank.

 

[Paladon]

I'm more than excited to see some results.

 

[Amigurumi]

wip:
concept is almost finished, only missing some minor details.
oh, and it might look easy, but there is something hidden >D

WIP

 

[PROXY]

Dude, you should make your own concepts :/

don't worry, It wasn't meant to be exactly like my concept, just as inspiration, basic idea etc. I would just take it as basic "idea"

anyway nice things you've already got here

 

[Devine]

lolwut? Dont ask me!

You do realize I was being sarcastic when I said it looked good just a few days ago right?
But this actually looks cool. One question though, how will the rifle rotate?
It's stuck in a tree D=

 

[HappyCockroach]

How does it need to rotate, if bone_turret's only work with buildings?

 

[The World Is Flat]

Is there and distinction between HOWITZERS and TANKS in this contest?

Would this qualify? Not acually going to do anything, just wanting to clarify.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

It has to be a mobile weapon for siege that can fire while it moves - so if it has to stop to shoot it doesn't qualify

warcraft 3 doesn't support attacking while moving.

Triggers. Lolnoob. Ask TriggerHappy, he knows of a map that has rotating rifles on the tanks.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

we had this discussion in chat, an artillery is something on the backline, not necessarily needing armour and such, a tank is a large(relative to a cavalry) front-line combat vehicle

however....
"And please keep in mind that the point of a tank is to be used in battle, so your submission MUST have a weapon of some sort, be it a catapult, a cannon, a mortar, a machine gun, Gatling gun, laser, missile launcher, grenade launcher, or melee weapon, ETC ETC."
anarchian did say mortar. isnt mortar and artillery pretty much the same idea?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Triggers. Lolnoob. Ask TriggerHappy, he knows of a map that has rotating rifles on the tanks.

lolnoob you are. that would require 2 different models and that's not what this contest is about.

 

[Devine]

lolnoob you are. that would require 2 different models and that's not what this contest is about.

Lolnoob. It wouldn't. xDDDDDDDD You so nooby.
I don't think so. "Make bone_turret face targeted unit" I think. Lets ask someone who knows what he's talking about.

ololol dat guy isnt u 4 shure! that function-thing doesnt even exist.

what would be possible is a trigger that makes the tank make a body-part facing to some point, then instead of bone_turret you should name the weapon bone as bone_head. But I guess that body-part facing can't be done if the unit isn't standing still, so, 1 model itself wouldn't get rid of this.
It'd be awesome to make SC-like siege tanks, but it's pretty much not possible using modeling alone.

and i know what im talking about

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I will accept any of those models as an entry, they are not necessarily considered "tanks" but i would allow those to give us some more variety. I have allowed tires and legs ALONG with treads for this reason. The weapon is up to you. Sometimes models just need a little imagination to work with.

To clarify i will accept tanks with mortars on them. (for example, the wraith tank in halo fires "plasma" mortars)

As i have said in the first post feel free to use your imagination.

It has to be a mobile weapon for siege that can fire while it moves - so if it has to stop to shoot it doesn't qualify

Amigurami is correct, wc3 does not and has never supported attacking while moving, please wait for either pyritie or me to clarify any and all questions during the contest before making assumptions.

To Devine, Yes, some people have made turreting (fire while moving systems), but I will in no way require anyone to use a turreting system for this contest.

Pyramidhe@d, meh, for tanks, i am going to say that a tank should ideally be versatile, so it could be on the front or rear lines of a conflict, like, for example, in Halo, there are missions where the scorpion are frontline and some where scorpions are backup.

..... and to everyone else, please stop caling others "lolnoob", i dont want this to turn into flaming/spamming, stay on topic, yada yada yada. :/

anywho, good luck to the contestants
