Modeling Competition #5 - Neutral Structure

K, here it is ingame.
I tried adding flames to it for its death but they dont appears to show ingame =/

ignore its name atm.

Very inspired works people, keep it up


Frank, if your model is unreleased and recent, I should think you can enter it if you work on it for the comp.

WIP gate, will adapt into bonus bridge destructible later.

I'm doing all this with about three very small blocks on the merc camp skin.

Don't worry, will include appropriate pathing maps.

WIP on my Expensive Goblin Merchant xD

Added another model. It's a little plain though, imo


Models are looking really great, people!


HT.... IZ TEH SHINEY OMGZORXZ!!!11

It looks like a giant goblet, with a little hut on the top.

Hmm it may now, but it will probably get some sweet mechanical anims, like the ladder shooting out smoke at teh seams and teh whole top thing shaking.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuge house.

Rao, what exactly is it going to be ?

It's a pagoda. -_-

Looks nice RDZ.

Well, I decided to throw somthing in, so here's my wip. I'll probably add more stuff to it, like furs of somthing.

Here is my WIP for the Elven Cathedral.

Its not even close to complete so.

Okay, here's my pack so far.

There's a few more minor things like pot-plants and a bench that don't warrant being shown right now.

More buildings and asides will be added.

You like those two textures eh? Some nice bits, but try variation.

Indeed. You need more than just shapes and sizes.

nice rdz, although looking very repetitive on some o.0

Ok, got me three Huts now. The look simular so they fit in with eachother.

The first one is just a basic hut. The scond one is like a butchers/food storage hut. And the third one his a chiefton/shaman/warrior's hut. Ans the thing in the corners of the last two are close ups of some of the stuff.

Im gettin some weird things...

I test in WE and when i place them and in display window for the model...transparent versions of the model flash everywhere..any help?

It's called the three Cs to success. The more variations I provide, the more fun people can have with them at the end.

i maked dis modul cuz ned fro meh map

Amazing Rao, i love the pack when i see it in its entirety.

2 textures? amazing.

mine used 2 textures too -.-

Here is the progress so far, no new ones, i just managed to fix them after asking py.

I may need to re-adjust the open tomb one as its down on the axis i think and needs fire or such coming out of it.

Correction: two small sections of one texture.

I'm making a superb family food restaurant and call it "Papa Kodo's Happy Food House".

Here is a WIP of this building. I'll add a Kodo beast statue (with a smile) on the roof later.

I would think a restaurant would either need smaller pillars, or a bigger space, because those pillars are huge!

k, i got the others working:
Cup
fire cup
Blood Pool
Pillar
Gate (not like.. a open close gate)

and i fixed the tomb2. (moved its axis up)

Rofl. But I agree, maybe you should add a little more space by thinning the blocks holding up the roof. (Technically, they shouldn't be called "Pillars" because they aren't cylinders.)

Made the "pillars" thinner, and added a Kodo statue (will make it statue-like when modified in Magos). Started giving textures on the model.

One question. Is it possible to give the building model the ability to use more than one texture? If yes, how?

Adding ability to a MODEL?

Tell me specificly what do you mean

Take off that damn kodo! At least make it impaled or something...

I think the roof looks kinda silly or something. Rain would never drain off of that.

As to your texture thingy, I think you just have to have two objects. I don't think you can have one object use two textures.

Using multiple textures

Well all you have to do is to copy the model and make the copy use another texture. (Just like the Mountain King has been done)

Then you must make a geoset animation for those models. When model 1 is visible, model 2 is invisible and vice versa.

Or if you mean that you want to use 2 textures at the same time, you must just split the model in 2 geosets and then assign both geosets their own materials and textures.

I hope that helped

Mountain King swaps material layers, not geosets.

Here is my WIP picture.

Started as an early English gothic cathedral, but that was too big (4000+ faces) and Gmax screwed it up so I can't open it anymore.

After reinstalling Gmax, I tried to make a simpler and more friendly cathedral. By that I mean that the lot of peaks on the buildings makes it look like it can "reach the sky", but it also makesit look like it "hurts" the sky somehow.

So I wanted to make a cathedral with no, or only a few peaks to make it look friendly.


Uses the old Cathedral texture.
1536 faces.
I don't plan adding more models, only if they are needed to qualify.

Only the re-texturing some faces and the exporting remains.

PS.: The shape of the towers is a tribute to a great architect and one of his buildings. Guess who is he, what's the name of his building and where it is? (First one who tells me the correct answers gains some rep from me)

Okay, iv just finished mine.
The issues are stated in the readme.
Zip and rar versions.

I like the chair. :3

Thats a really nice set, it's a shame they don't come in black , they'd be perfect for my Necromancer School

you can easily do it just by retexuring the ingame texture.

Indeed. The chair is 1337.

I NEEEED THESE! I would give you massive credit and my deepest graditude if you allow me to use these in my map I'm making. Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Its RDZs intention to submit them to the competition lol when theyre submitted you will be able to download them.

Err well IF they are released.

He cancelled his last submission. Oh well.

Life's a bitch, huh?

As soon as I find a way to make the team color tower tops, house parts, and the central catheral structure I should be able to finish this High Elf cathedral, then I'll focus on the doodads.

........but of course I am not having much luck with the tower tops and central structure.

Katu, stop doing that, this is not polycount competition, point is to create an usefull model with AS LESS AS POSSIBLE polies.

1500 is not much for a building.

but it is for a wc3 building, mine had around 200 triangles.

Blizz buildings reach even 2000 polies.
