Modeling Contest #20 - Campaign Screens

[darkdeathknight]

That's going pretty well.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I REALLY want to do a model for this contest. I'll finish my uni shit this weekend if I can and start something.
don't wanna do a static campaign screen... got some ideas boiling in my head

 

[skrab]

Here is a new work in progress on ground mesh and Orc battering ram team.
Good night.

[darkdeathknight]

who are you talking to?

 

[Thrikodius]

A rough (and by rough i mean real rough) WIP of the SGC gate room.

WIP

I haven't yet decided how much detail to put in the stuff behind the gate. Magos doesn't really illuminate it the way I want.
Also trying to find a better texture for the concrete.

good WIPs everyone

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Looking Epic Thrikodius!

 

[Deolrin]

Thrikodius, that looks very nice. The texture could use some work, though.

Well actually there is no texture for the power supplies and siesmic dampeners. Yet...

 

[darkdeathknight]

Just a Wip, since you have to post one.

Poops

 

[NhazUl]

I will downrate your model just because it's communist.

Lol jk, awesome texture work.

 

[Thrikodius]

And now for the interesting bit... The KAWOOSH!!!

EDIT:

Kawoosh!

A lil particle job. Not much from that angle but it looks fine from the camera. Either way I'm gonna warp the mesh of the eventhorizon and make it extend into the kawoosh in order to bring a lil more substance to it.

 

[Adiktuz]

wow, awesome contest...

 

[darkdeathknight]

Hey, I know there isnt a limit on filesize (well i think there isnt), what should the average filesize be? How much are the ones on Warcraft?
And finally, how much triangles/polies is your campaign screen Thriko?

 

[skrab]

@darkdeathknight, well my screen atm has 29k triangles. Human campaign screen has around 10k

@Malcous I don't know yet, maybe I'll just make them stand there and prepare or maybe i can make the animation few minutes long and make them siege the castle.

 

[darkdeathknight]

thanks. I doubt mine would go to 30k like yours no matter what i do

 

[Thrikodius]

And finally, how much triangles/polies is your campaign screen Thriko?

Mine currently has 7375 polies.

EDIT:
Ok I'm officially dropping out. Reason beeing:

I have no idea why but shit don't work. The chevron markers drop their texture and the event horizon goes black for some unknown reason.
Suffice to say, I can't submit what doesn't work and I can't fix what I don't understand.

Aww thats too bad . tried for asking for help around the problem?..
Your's is one of the best bthw!.
I think people need that.. :/.. but i guess u could still submit it after the competition is over.. :'(

 

[Thrikodius]

Well it doesn't work as a campaign screen so that's out of the question. However I'm turning it into a building model for in-game use.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Please do, that would be so useful, i have asked the makers of the other star-gate model files to add animations, no replies though.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I think you guys should add the 10-point ATMOSPHERE criterium to this specific contest.

it is very important to make a quality campaign screen

 

[Thrikodius]

Please do, that would be so useful, i have asked the makers of the other star-gate model files to add animations, no replies though.

I'm not sure what you meant by that but I'm fully capable of animating my own models.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

I meant, the other star-gate models on the hive, have absolutely no animations, last time i checked, so yours, seeing as the quality of it is awesome anyway, with animations, it would be unbelievably useful

 

[HappyCockroach]

try changing the pivot point of the objects that don't appear... to somewhere in the camera's target...

btw...
WIP time

playing around with possibilities... a prison cell may be one

 

[Gausslander]

HappyCockroach, that's by far my favorite scenario of the ones that have come out so far. May I suggest adding barrels and other interior objects?

 

[darkdeathknight]

I think that a bit too bright for a prison.

 

[HappyCockroach]

it's a basement actually... I don't even know if I'll stick to it, everything there is placeholder... testing effects.....

 

[mischief123]

maybe i can judge.

Nice campaign screen you have there. Shame if something happens to it.

 

[darkdeathknight]

You have to prove how good you are to be judge. Since you joined last month, I doubt you are a likely candidate. Sorry to burst your bubble.

 

[mischief123]

It's ok. At least, It MAY be hard to judge whether you are an expert in looking between Good Artworks and Bad artworks.

The Modelers must be extremely busy. Which is a good thing. A few WIPS would bring the thread back to life, i'm sure of it.

Thats my point man, i wanna see some work they have done! cos this is, by far a complicated contest, and surely it will have some great results!
Im hoping after guys finish their models, there will be some software to change the campaign screen to any you want

 

[D a w n]

I say: add 1 more month to this and while waiting for a finished entry we could just make another mini modeling contest

oh and I'm still up for judging in case 1 of the current ones would drop

 

[anarchianbedlam]

i guess it's up to the bobhost
*shrugs* im impartial either way

 

[NhazUl]

If it's 3 days to the deadline, I drop out. Shouldn't have taken part in a contest when I had to study for an exam. -.- Silly me.

... if anyone cares.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well nobody has finished and isnt the rules a contest will keep going until at least 3 people have finished?

 

[Mr. Bob]

I would not be opposed to extending the contest for about 3 weeks, in lieu of such a time consuming theme.

Is anyone opposed the idea? In this case, it wouldn't be unfair to those who have finished because, well... no one has finished lol.

The 3 entry rule was established to prevent any unfairness or unnecessary drag. This is a special case though, as we literally have no entries.

If the current deadline is reached and less than 2 people have submitted a finished entry, I will extend it to the end of May.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

so if someone finished within the next 3 days, it would be unfair to them and the extension would be canceled?.....
.../me starts to work on his model

 

[Mr. Bob]

less than two people*

If we just had one, than I think the lack of entries outweighs the unfairness. Its hard for something to be unfair when there is literally no competition.

 

[darkdeathknight]

I better hurry up. I was gonna take my time

 

[Mr. Bob]

Well if it gets extended to the end of May, then you will be able to take lots of time lol.

 

[HappyCockroach]

we still have a lot of time to make something good... until we have 3 entries, that's a plenty of time.

_{now excuse me but I got to procrastinate a little bit more, thank you......}

 

[skrab]

I will need more time to finish my entry.

Wandering Soul - WIP

This is my progress so far, there's still work and refinement to be done.

NOTE : This is only the Landscape/Interior Design of a tavern.


Currently making people to 'populate' the tavern. There will be an Archmage 'storytelling' to the other elder version of Human heroes (Mountain King, Paladin & Bloodmage). So far the Archmage and Mountain King is nearly ready.

MAY NOT INSERT THESE HEROES IF TIME IS INSUFFICIENT.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Looking really good! I love the idea too.
