Modeling Contest #27 - Colossus\Final Boss

[Heinvers]

I think he looks very thin to be a giant.

I'm not sure that I agree. While we can be fooled by that I'm not sure that it applies to all giants.

Some may be thin.
Let's think outside the box for now and just say that he's more of a lean looking giant.

 

[Paulus]

Just like the skinny giants from skyrim

 

[WhiteFang]

Just like the skinny giants from skyrim

They may be skinny,but they make you fly very high

 

[Blood Raven]

They may be skinny,but they make you fly very high

Do you get to the cloud district very often? xD

By the way, I may or may not participate in this contest, due to exams and stuff. Still, good luck to all the contestants. :]

 

[-Grendel]

i suggest using the campaign rexxar texture PROXY.

 

[Hantoo]

Is Asking for Advice Against the Rule?

 

[-Grendel]

no. even deolrin is giving advices. so its not against the rules.

 

[Hantoo]

"Asking For Advice"
is lil different with Accepting Advice tho

 

[-Grendel]

dude, giving advice, accepting advice, asking for advice, non of those is against the rules.

 

[Hantoo]

why are you always trying to sound like a smartass

Complain by Giving Rep? XD
well... Avoiding to Do Wrong things xd

 

[Deolrin]

Ask whatever you feel like, Hayate.

 

[Chen]

Made progress with this one, it's not a pitlord but mayb it's better. Next is a city hat above him. What's better texture anyway?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Depends on the look you are going for. So far I like the one on the Right better (though it's more obvious where it's from).

 

[icewolf055]

Okay my 1st wip (making his head and his other arm):

 

[WhiteFang]

Okay my 1st wip (making his head and his other arm):

Now that...that looks perfect for what i need in my map

 

[Direfury]

Pretty much done with Amonrath, I think.

 

[Paulus]

Im excited about this one! GL with it.

 

[Pvt.Toma]

Change of plans.

Uses a 256^2 custom texture of 52 kb.

Update 1:

54kb texture.

Update 2:

56kb texture. Most likely final look, so gonna animate and what not.

Change the shape of that dangling thing into a strawberry and call it the STRAWBERRY BEHEMOTH. ;D

It already has a catchy name, you can't lose!

 

[Heinvers]

Angler fish gone on land and growing legs while being colored into a rainbow, love it

 

[Pvt.Toma]

A question here tho, do we animate it with a classical wc3 unit in mind or a boss for maps like Impossible bosses?

 

[Deolrin]

I'm not sure what Impossible Bosses is like. Either way, animate it in whichever way you feel is right.

 

[Pvt.Toma]

Well basically all of the Bosses in Impossible Bosses are triggered. So the attack animations aren't that useful to those bosses that they would implement. Just like, they use Spell animation and then fires a huge beam and it moves in circles(an example).

TLR Every attack in game is triggered, therefore the animations it would need would differ from a classical model.

 

[-Grendel]

@Pvt.Toma, KAWAIIIIIII!!! <3

 

[CreatorD3292]

How much is too much polymesh?
Btw, this is my WIP.

WIP

 

[Kyrbi0]

That's pretty sick, man. It's got like, Samus-level shoulder-pads.

 

[Misha]

that just doesn't look colossal or detailed enough to me.. you'd probably need to up the polys.. or somehow add more details in

right now i'm merely seeing it as the size of a kitty

edit: oops, quoted the wrong post.. but still.. the meaning stays

 

[Heinvers]

You're such haters.

 

[Misha]

since when is comparing Toma's model with a kitty, 'hating' ? it's a really cool model, just not a colossus, imo

 

[MiniMage]

Things that could make it look more collosal could be more detailed feet and possibly a long tail. But eh, I don't want to ruin a concept. Do as you will, Pvt.Toma

 

[Direfury]

Hey, someones doing giant insects, and nobody had any complaints about that. If you can make it work, do it. Let him do his thing.

 

[Pvt.Toma]

New WIP:
Still in the progress of painting the flesh.

WIP 1:

Update:
An upload of the model. It's finished, and it's not finished, but it's something.

Update 2:
Added the 2nd version.

Update 3:
Removed.

 

[Hantoo]

Ok? this is really Epic

The Arm is dead zzz I really really can't finish it in time,
I will Finish it somehow in the Future, but It won't be in the Contest...
(Since Deolrin haven't put my name in, So I will just quit... )sorry guys

 

[HappyCockroach]

New WIP:

i like creatures that have that aberration feel... but i'd recommend watching out for the colour scheme, too saturated colors are off wc3 context. and dunno if it's because it's a wip, but you could put more contrast in your painting

@Hayate: the way you say it kinda sounds like you quit because your name wasn't put in the list :v

Well.. Im Glad that my name is not in the list, I had said and posted some WIP, so many People Joined, And Only 3 is on the list O.O

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, crap. I forgot about that list. I'll update it later today or in a couple of days. Sorry about that!

 

[Hantoo]

Remember to not add my name

 

[Heinvers]

Remember to not add my name

Shut up, remember that it's for your own progress if you take part in these contests...and having fun in the meanwhile

 

[MiniMage]

That's the good thing about contests. It's not about progressing, it's about showing yourself and others where you currently are.
Maybe you realize that you need practice, then clearly, the contest has helped you as the challenge of a contest made you face yourself and realize something.

Progress comes with time but not with a deadline. Like modding itself, it's a pastime. It's supposed to be fun. I'm still waiting for a Co-op contest. XD
When you feel you have become experienced enough to crank out models within a time frame, then just enjoy yourself.

I think I will need a Co-op Contest too XD
Im Not good enough yet to be here i think xd, haha too bad

 

[Deolrin]

There's no such thing as "not good enough" for contests. Don't shy away from participating just because you don't think you'll win.

 

[MiniMage]

Really? I've felt that many times. My complete and utter inability has resulted in folders with gigs worth of models, static and unmoving. I'll never complete any of these in any time soon.

Talking from experience, participating back in the past, the huge gap between my level and the others participating was discouraging. It always just felt like showcasing something inferior to a polished diamond that would clearly outshine yours no matter how much you polished your model.

I'm not saying people can't participate, I have just felt that it's much more fun to have a shot at the price, it imbues the experience with a giddy tone of optimism. That's why I thought the Co-Op concept sounds so fun. Because as a rookie, you dedicate yourself to a core thing first that you enjoy more. For example, I just loved making mesh when first starting up. But animating, it was tedious and annoying. Still think so, actually.

 

[Direfury]

I always felt that contests were more about popularity, as only a specific group of people would tend to win, because of their fanboys backing them, regardless of the quality of their work.

Funny, though, how that ended when a bunch of those toxic trolls left the Hive.

 

[PROXY]

I always learned SO much from participating in contests, in every aspect of modelling. Maybe it's the pressure and the urge to create something good and to show off to keep you on it.

 

[stonneash]

I think you can count me out of this since I'll never get to finish my model until I get time to which may be up to spring break or even the summer, but if anyone is intreasted in looking at it and using it for something (not this contest because that would be cheating) you can vm/pm me

 

[Deolrin]

There may be an extension. Don't lose hope yet!

 

[Paulus]

Try to finish it in spare time. Otherwise share it after the contest. Its a shame but understandable.

 

[yawar]

alguien me puede decir como me inscribo

 

[stonneash]

well if i find free time before the deadline I'll make sure to try and finish my submission

I disagree. those more skilled would win more frequently, isn't it obvious? as far as I remember, I myself only won contests in which one of those almost professional artists diddn't enter... (i.e. pyramid head, supa, etc) or contests with really few entries ._.
it's logical, many of them were professional artists and had a lot of skill.

well, some bias is inevitable. I agree sometimes results are kinda unfair due to the popularity bias. but we had many contests won by people who weren't known around. Freddyk, for instance, was a great surprise. I remember a contest tee.dubs won, too (and i didn't even check the contest archive). the community does recognize good entries disregarding popularity... anyways.. if we agree that bias isn't very much present anymore we're ok.



and... i thought i'd have time to do a lot of modelling and i hadn't... an extension might be great, since we are having difficulty in hosting contests, let us extend the one that's going on instead of closing it and doing another one...
