Modeling Contest #19 - Water Units

[darkdeathknight]

gonna use it in my map 5/5 +repppppp!~

 

[rcshaggy]

Would be awesome to see this made for the contest, but anyway looking good so far the water-based units I mean.

 

[ike_ike]

I suggest a kraken that looks like from WoW squid-like. Neptulon the Tidehunter model or Deep Sea Murloc model.

you're in luck it's already been done!

also kingky action going on here

 

[Deolrin]

He's just suggesting something, seriously, ike_ike. Suggestions are always good, they give ideas.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I agree with ike, people who simply run into contest threads to post requests are irritating. Its a contest thread, not the request forum.

 

[Deolrin]

What makes you think he's requesting something? Mainly Warlord Ajerloir I mean. There already is a wc2-like Goblin Turtle model in our section, and he's doing a WC2 conversion, so I'm not so sure this is a request as much as it is a suggestion. Besides, no one actually does requests anymore asides from Cavman, and Cavman is incredibly inactive.

Sorry for the misunderstanding and I just loved Warcraft II and its navy units and the giant sea turtles as well in the game and the Gnome submarine.
Just wanting them to be brought back in the Warcraft III realm and probably some ideas for the contest.

Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

 

[Thrikodius]

I guess this is my shape (not MY shape but the shape of my model). Eventuall changes can always be expected.

The thought with the spine-mohawk thing is Kelp (which is the models project-name)
Somewhat like this:

This will be the wings aswell but they will be using alpha instead of seperate meshes.

Now I just have to get the texture to turn out good. Otherwhise I'll have to change the concept. It's a challenge to say the least.

Debode, quit trolling. If you want to rant about something go to off-topic.
Nice entries so far btw guys.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

a fine example of that would be animalpower who has been told not to do that in one of the past contest but still did anyway in this contest.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Looking good Thriko, but I think the back spine should be big planes and alphaed when you're making the texture. If you are using ingame, dont worry.

I was actually thinking of putting something in my sig to tell people not to spam me with request PMs and stuff, as it's starting to get really annoying. Getting a ton from like, animalpower, and naratuxssasuke or some bull shit.

On the topic of contest though, everything looks awsome so far.
I might actually join, been hankering to model. Wont win with some of the modelers in here, but will be fun.

 

[Pyritie]

The truly soul crushing part of that is that you werent kidding about the vaporeon thing....

[reaction=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1619596/Misc/pokemon/eevees/1286189491914.png]it's true though[/reaction]

@Pyritie: Make Marill instead! You could use those legendary facial expressions you used on the hoppip model. But, yeah you already proved you can do that, so go for the lanturn one, it will have the most interesting animations for sure. I could only consider something like Quilfish to have the facial animations aswell as some cool attack/spell animations (shoot stings/blow up etc)

I could do the expressions on any of them though

 

[darkdeathknight]

Vaporeon is disgusting. It is a fish-cat. or cat-fish or whatever.

 

[Ganondorf]

@pyritie: make a vaporeon... At least it IS cute and sexy :3

 

[Tleno]

What is that creaute exactly? Another of your pokemons?

 

[Ganondorf]

just like that.

 

[D a w n]

watch the anatomy... that neck should make sense with the creature's spine and tail... existing animals anatomy as references are always good (even if they're different references to each bodypart)

yeah, will take care for it, was just a paint doodle

deciding between a vaporeon, lanturn, or gastrodon

vaporeon because sexy
lanturn because favourite
gastrodon because that could either be fun as hell to animate or hell to animate

though on the other hand I want to make sure I get it done

Spoiler

I'm leaning towards either the slug or the angler fish

I'm for Lanturn, because it's my favourite of those 3 and fits best into the theme,

you're in luck it's already been done!

also kingky action going on here

 

[Walle]

This contest seems like fun, i'm in!
here is my concept:

 

[M0rbid]

If I should find the time to finish that and don't get tooo addicted to add to many polys I might be able to finish this for the contest. Early WiP, lots of stuff still missing

 

[darkdeathknight]

What that cylinder doing there?

 

[The Weird Human]

Yes Finally a another Modeling Contest!!!

Mine will be unique..kinda look like this.

[anarchianbedlam]

I updated the contestant list, and im going to try to do that up-to-date WIP link thing that i had in the paired contest, i think people liked that last time.

That's not that unique. It just a diver with a hammer.

Yeah like if we would have any models like that...

hmm.. mine looks quite similar/is going to be quite similar..

 

[Direfury]

It's unique, and I have a picture someone else made of it!

 

[darkdeathknight]

Why dont you fan make one with a speargun or something? And the weird human can do a hammer. Also if your making divers you might need custom animations (since they also have to swim)

 

[Direfury]

The only thing he really needs to do is give his diver transition-lowered Peasant animations for Swim, and maybe the Blademaster Attack Slam animation (Translation edited) for Submerging and resurfacing.

 

[waveseeker]

I would love to see a shark or octopus in this contest, i don't even think there are any squid or octopi on this site. just think of all the animation possibilities! xD

You have to search up the right stuff to find what you want.

Oh and by the way how long until judging?
Sorry for asking this, but yeah and will the naval units be released on the Hive as downloadable use so people can use them?
The other way is fine too mind you.

*sigh* I'm pretty sure that the contestants have to finish their models before they can be judged.... ALSO there is this lovely little deadline in red text on the front page of this thread. And If the contestants dont take the time to upload them officially to the model resource section, you can just download them from this thread directly.

TWH, you put a URL link in an tag, it should have either been

Sorry.... its the first time ive been to a contest

It has nothing to do with being in a contest, the

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well good. Then you won't lose massive amounts on originality.

Head Finished But I still need suggestions if I should add a real "head" inside of the helmet, or leave the glasses nonetransparent.

[Thrikodius]

Make tha glass untranserant in the normal unit.
Then for the portrait add the head within and put the camera right outside the glass, facing the head. And make some bubble emitters.

Well it looks a bit low polysh... probably that's because you zoomed closer to it...

Right, will do that. thx

Jeah, it's a kinda bad angle, I realised that too atm. From another angle, and most ingame, it looks way better.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well, the old diving helmets were very "primitive" so it would be very hazy to see through, meaning you wouldnt be able to see the face.
Also, the glass should be smaller like this

[Direfury]

Well, I've got the texture down, all I need to do now is work on the mesh and animate it.

 

[HappyCockroach]

well... you need to work on the texture a little bit too. some stuff is too pixelized or depth-less... overall not quite the wc3 texture style/quality

I'm liking what I'm seeing there. Better than the Eldritch by far I can imagine.

Gonna stop on my diver. I just don't like it anymore, and as TWH creates one anyway, I have better chances doing something else.

 

[Direfury]

Any examples?

I'm planning on a Mer-person/Azshara type character, with a squid-like lower body,a large, beastly, toothed claw and some sort of chained Sickle-Trident weapon.

Here are some examples for you to make it look better, and it doesn't mean its not good, but I wouldn't be the one who would use that in the water. LOL...

 

[Direfury]

Here's my progress so far.

 

[Dionesiist]

A daunting task, but you'll probably need to shade each scale individually. Either that, or just leave a couple of strategic areas of scales. If memory serves, nagas in-game don't have evident scales all over...
