Entry

My entry for the Texturing Competition #17.


A Transition of the Dalaran Towers into futuristic Towers.
This skin applies for the three models that are shown below, so they can be used to build up a complete futuristic city.
I hope this will turn out to be a useful doodad building for many terrainers, even in days of SC2.
The skin does not include Teamcolour, because the standard does not too (is it even possible?) and the best use for it seems to be as a doodad anyways
Enjoy!

Preview Skin

Unwrap

Real View

Import the skin to the following path:
Textures\DalaranBuildings.blp

The skin will replace the following unit/doodad/texture/interface:
Dalaran Buildings

My god these elven houses have lazy-assed wraps.



I'll see if I can fix the contrast in the later versions, if I bother finishing the skin that is.

EDIT:
Update!

 

[Cweener]

All 3 of these entries look really good so far Keep them coming

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The houses with weird chimneys

Here's my entry!



Well, what more can you say that these building are just regular houses, but with weird looking chimneys. Yeah, yeah, I couldn't come up with a more creative name.

This entry is just one skin that applies on all the elven houses. Too bad these models have lazy-assed wraps and normals.

Texture path:
Textures\ElvenFarm.blp


YOU MUST GIVE ME CREDITS IF YOU USE THIS SKIN IN YOUR MAP!!!

Please DO NOT distribute and/or modify this resource without my permission.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[-Kobas-]

Oh I hope I made in time...
Here is my skin so far I will fix few bugs like that one with window! Well I don't have time, just small wip because of rules!

 

[-Kobas-]

Oh sry for double post I don't want to edit my last one, just to show that above texture is mine (rules)...

Ok here it is my submission!
Human Farm building into New Age House!
Textures used ingame: buildings\human\Farm\House.blp

*note:
-Some houses are doodads (no team color [blue/yellow]) just to show building from many angles at same time...
-Flowers and units are re sized from normal to 0.5 just to look more better because Farm (New Age Building is normal scaled)
-Units don't have shadows, I removed them, no time to edit each one sry!

 

[thisruoy]

Houses with weird chimneys is my vote
and also, that house looks so awesome and realistic.

 

[Stanakin]

That's great. I can't open the .psd file of my building anymore, it says it's not compatible with my version of photoshop. I have an earlier version as .bmp, but I'm not sure if I can get myself to draw the stuff I'd done after that over again.

btw, I really like the entries so far.

 

[M0rbid]

That's sad to hear, that a great skinner won't be able to participate because of computer problems is really annoying.


BTW, 9 hours remain, if I'm correct

 

[Deolrin]

I vote for an extension, as I know that some people were busy with their finals\exams these weeks and about this time is when exams end. I know of at least one person who is still working on his skin albeit not having much time due to exams.

I think that just a week or two for an extension would be nice, no? Would get a few more entries in.

I'd be willing to extend the deadline a little, so far I'm counting 6 entries. How much extra time does everyone need? I don't think I'd extend the deadline beyond 1 week.

 

[M0rbid]

In fact, do you count the entry's of red shift and others?
Because some did not include blp's yet.

 

[Stanakin]

I should be able to finish mine with a few extra days.

I only have 6 .blps so far, and those are from M0rbid, Just_Spectating, Dentothor, thisruoy, Dan van Ohllus, and -Kobas-. Those are the six I'm counting.

Still waiting on FrIkY, L0w Kwality, Ampharos 222, Cash42, Red Shift, Dionesiist, X.e.r.e.X, Crazed Seal, and Kazzo. And anyone else that wants to participate but I haven't got a wip from yet, like Stanakin Skywalker.

I'd say in most texturing contests I've witnessed only about half the participants finish, so I don't honestly expect everyone I mentioned to finish this contest. It would be nice if there was closer to ten entries though.

 

[M0rbid]

But I guess extending would only make sense if some of the users at least confirm that they are still working on it like stanakin did!


BTW, @- kobas - am I allowed to ask, how you could get those freaking realistic stones by freehand work?

 

[Kwaliti]

A week should be enough.

 

[Kazzo]

So we have 1 moar week?
sorry i haven't time to do the entry cuz my final tests and final projetcs but now i finished that so i can do the skin now

Well I just edited this one Click
Is that ok?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Well I just edited this one Click
Is that ok?

nope it's not.. you can't CNP a texture, each textures should be 75% free-handed at least.. and for a competition it's even less... to make sure you don't loose point for nothing..

Free-handed = draw by hands, from Blank square to a nice texture. (not drew over something, not edited something else..)

in fact, you better remake your hole texture right away to not be disqualifyed or to loose even more time.

Awesome entry! Good job Red Shift!

 

[Dentothor]

ughh a whole week? I didn't try at all making my entry just so i could get it in. oh well, ill do a bit of snazzing up here and there.

 

[Red]

Shit happens when you don't read the thread I guess, huh?

 

[The WoW Masta]

Where can i see the textures?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

All over this thread. You just need to search through the pages.

 

[-Kobas-]

Ok guys I didn't know for that CnP stuff etc etc, this one is whole created freehand in Paint and Adobe Photoshop CS4 by me

Ok here it is my submission, not final I still want to hear critics because this is also my first serious texture!
Human Farm building into New Age House (made in stone -.^)!
Textures used ingame: buildings\human\Farm\House.blp
World Editor size: 73 KB (Can be reduced or increased ofc)

*note about pictures:
-Some houses are doodads (no team color [blue/yellow]) just to show building from many angles at same time...
-Flowers and units are re sized from normal to 0.5 just to look more better because Farm (New Age Building is normal scaled)
-Units don't have shadows, I removed them, no time to edit each one sry!

All right, pyritie already adjusted the contest deadline.

@ thisruoy; you should add some shading and highlights to your skin, it seems really flat right now. It shouldn't take to long and with the extension you might as well.

@ -Kobas- that is really good if it's your first attempt, just about everyone starts out with something that looks horrendous. I'd recommend re-working the chimney so it looks like it is constructed out of brick or rocks stuck together with mortar. You could make the outside covered in wood siding to, but I think rock/brick would look more attractive, and you seem to be going in that direction anyways.

 

[Dentothor]

-Kobas- is disqualified. He admitted to using more than 25% of the skin in filters, and creating its texture with filters.

Thanks but I must disappoint you, well I didn't know about filters so my skin isn't good, I will desert contest, sry I don't have time to create whole skin again!
Sorry again...

lol next time give my chance to write that myself, grrr don't be so fast

 

[Deolrin]

Kobas, next time DRAW your skin with the Brush Tool.

Hey can i join this contest?

 

[THE_END]

I'm liking all the entries folks, very nice

 

[M0rbid]

Hey can i join this contest?

Look at first post and you'll see how much time remains for you to participate

 

[Kazzo]

Congragulations,my brain is dead i don't have any ideas

 

[Stanakin]

wip-time.

It's pretty simple and not that creative but I hope it'll be useful.

 

[Arowanna]

Useful indeed
But what sucks about the Gnoll Tent is the "back" :S
I hate that the door is shown there as well :S

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Well, deadline is coming close. You all got your extension so you better hurry up. =P

 

[Arowanna]

I just started on a idea... I'll never finish in time, but I might post a WIP later, just for the fun!

 

[Deolrin]

FrIkY wasn't online since the 18/6...

 

[Kazzo]

I gave up
Don't have any idea also i don't like that theme :3

 

[Stanakin]

I can't get rid of the blur on my building.. If I resize the texture to 512x512 (it's 256x256 atm), does that cost me points in the judging?
