Modeling Contest #11 - Chimeras

[Xatoga]

The horse(deer?) part seems kind of wide, which doesnt make it quite fit with the human part. What's that part of the texture from too?

 

[Dionesiist]

That might be the Hippogryph.

 

[Devine]

that is one fat deer.

 

[D a w n]

yes it´s the Hippogryph^^

hm....I think I´ll have to fix the dear/horse part now D:

Edit: Is it ok now??

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

New wip.

I fixed the face, made the shape of the wings. I've still to work on its limbs (its back ones aren't made yet), and add a tail.

 

[XS-Archangel]

hm...we don't have Pegasus in war Maybe it can be good model

 

[Dionesiist]

What the fuck, a goddamn basic humanoid model and I ended up with 18k faces!?

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Manticore is coming!

I guess the mesh is over.

Poly count: 582 so far.

 

[Devine]

the wings could be done with less polygons. rest looks really cool though.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Oh, it's Grifoo'!

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

It can't be, it doesn't have the face of a Foo'.

And those aren't angel-wings either.

 

[slawter]

nice w.i.p.s i wish i could model as good as that

 

[D a w n]

some new WIP

what I´ve still have to do:
-adding a skeleton
-adding some visual effects( a moon necklace,a floating moon at the front of the weapon, particles and some eye candy for spell channel^^)

 

[LiOneSS]

The staff is more like blood elvish...

 

[TDR]

I made the torso a bit bulkier and started texturing:

Too bad it won't fit wc3 that well......I can't make shit wc3-style.

 

[LiOneSS]

That legs are fucking awesome. Try making a chicken model one day

 

[SuPa-]

Looks sweet, TDR
I might get started on a model of my own soon... if I can get a solid idea

 

[Hawkwing]

Yes, the torso and legs are nice. I'm not loving the tail so much though.

 

[Devine]

Remade mesh.
and 336 pollies.


.... lost it in a computer crash -_-'
GODDAMNIT!

.... meh no problem i'l remake it one of these days.

 

[Pitakebab]

Manticore is coming!

I guess the mesh is over.

Poly count: 582 so far.

Doesn't manticore have a scorpion tail?

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Doesn't manticore have a scorpion tail?

Well, mine doesn't. It's based on the concept of the manticore we can see on warhammer: Concept art

But i'll consider adding one, maybe

Btw, here are some wips. Textures is being made. There are still much to do / fix:

To do:
feet, tail, teeth (i've to add it on the model), wing claws

To fix:
teh mane, the body (especially the front limbs), wings joints, adding some highlights to the "poping" hair (from the mane) and to the wing skin, the inner mouth.

 

[Devine]

the texture and wrap of the body could use work but the wings are awesome.

new WIP of mine. Did the dragon face texture + made the spiderlegs.

262 pollies

 

[TDR]

Burning_Dragoon5, his face looks more like an ape than a lion :/

And the modeling video is now online:
Chimera - modeling on Vimeo
Soon I'll make it an official post and explain a couple of things about it, like tools and stuff in hopes of making it less confusing. I repeat again, this is not for beginners. Of course you can watch it if you're a beginner, but you won't get much from it.

I'm not a modeller, so it is true, I ain't gaining shit from this movie, more than a reason to confirm a fact: You Own.

.... WTF? what polycount does the model have D:?

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Well, manticores are suppose to have human face, so I made a mix of both human and lion.... ok, the result is not that good, I think it's because of the mane, which is not close enough to the face.

 

[TDR]

It's not the mane, it's the upper lip...it's too long, and it makes it look like a chimp.
Oh, and always remember when texturing: light comes from above!(skylight)

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Ok, I fixed the upper lip. Indeed, it's better now.

About the light, thanks for the tip, i'll try to do my best (remember i'm not that good at making skins :/ )

 

[Dionesiist]

TDR, you should've kept a version with blocky legs, it looks like something directly from DOOM to me for some reason. XD

 

[Callahan]

Nice video TDR.
I guess modeling is easy if you know how to use your tools.
But you're adding a lot of needless vertice for a Wc3 model.

 

[Dionesiist]

Well, here's me writhing in pain as I modeled in Vertex Modifier again... managed to get a pretty usable mesh though. Only problem now is rigging... It's a combination of a spider and a bat.

 

[TDR]

But you're adding a lot of needless vertice for a Wc3 model.

Indeed I do ...doesn't serve it's purpose, but I get carried away.

 

[D a w n]

Ok I just finished my entry, but I will update my model if I get some more ideas .

Edit1: updated
Edit2: updated again
Edit3: and again
Edit4: and 1 more time

 

[Pyritie]

I want to model this guy, but I dunno if it'll be allowed.

 

[Hawkwing]

Are you not the host?

 

[HappyTauren]

Is he a judge?

 

[Hawkwing]

I had assumed that he'd be host/judge. But apparently not.

 

[Lord_T]

Roar!
Scorpikin WiP!

 

[mario_64]

"hello i'm mario_64, and welcome to jackass"

[Callahan]

Don dustin you forgot the ears on your nighteflmoonguard.

 

[D a w n]

hm....I did not really forgot it, but I think i´ll add them

Edit1: added ears and Inoticed that it still had all the pitlord sounds and stuff
Edit2:Added tail^^

 

[Pyritie]

Concept thingy.

Now to start on the mesh!

What version of 3ds max do you use?

 

[Devine]

Concept thingy.

Now to start on the mesh!




What version of 3ds max do you use?

I believe we already have a blind character in WC3.
... so much for the originality >.> ...
seriously, why doesn"t it have eyes?

 

[Pyritie]

See these.

 

[Devine]

... freaky ...

D:

 

[TDR]

What version of 3ds max do you use?

3ds max 9. I'll use 5 for wc3 animation & export.

 

[Pyritie]

Hmm, 8 doesn't seem to have either the symmetry or the face creator thingy like yours had. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

 

[TDR]

You must be looking in the REALLY wrong place. Symmetry is a modifier and the face creator thingy is the Bridge tool under Editable Poly.

 

[Pyritie]

Oh THERE it is!

 

[HappyTauren]

TDR, how did you make horns like that? Spline, then?
