Concept Competition of Doom - Mechanics

Shaynne · Nov 6, 2007

RDZ, to be clear, when you mean 4 legs only do you really mean 4 limbs or can we have something like 2 legs and 4 arms or would that count as a thing way to hard to animate?

Xatoga · Nov 7, 2007

He's shaping up now. Got his robo-space-sea legs. I think I should make him a little pet robot parrot.

Direfury · Nov 7, 2007

Serpentus Kaamos:Revised

ohh,make the parrot with a huge ass beak,it would make it an awesome add on to a spell animation (bird opens its giant mouth and shoots fire or something

)

And Rao,the anims I was talking about,something vaguely close to those.

EDIT:
Since I don't have a scanner and can't find a pencil or pen here,not gonna do a drawing,will revise my concept in a second.

Xatgo taht looks freaking awesome
As i said, looks something out of futurama

Pyritie · Nov 7, 2007

Aww I was just going to do some cute little probe thingy.

thisruoy · Nov 7, 2007

Any way, xatoga what program did you use to make it?

I think he used Adobe Illustrator.

Pyritie · Nov 7, 2007

Or photoshop, perhaps.

Kuhneghetz · Nov 7, 2007

Adobe Illustrator is very good when drawing vector graphics (graphics that will not get blurry when the image get's bigger). Same for Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash).

Xatoga · Nov 7, 2007

I used Flash. After I line it and fill in the colors I usually use photoshop to do shading and whatnot. Or I just give it some flat shading-ness with Flash some more.

Yeah, Futurama and silly Sci-Fi cartoons was the basis for his style. If you ever saw that space-y version of Treasure Island that disney made, I originally was thinking of the captain with the robot arm when I thought of this guy.

Pyritie · Nov 7, 2007

Yes, I made my candle avatar in illustrator.

Vector stuff is confusing.

I mean four legs; you can have as many subsidiary limbs as you like. As long as the item stands on only four appendages, and only these four appendages are involved in its propulsion.

*Draws a four legged megabot with five BILLION arms*

Kwaliti · Nov 7, 2007

Make that a googolplex of arms

That would be to hard to draw....stick with a measly few billion..

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 7, 2007

I assume Milkshape and Warcraft would crash at the polycount. I suppose I should have put in a clause about the model not being so complex that it might kill the game...

Direfury · Nov 7, 2007

Rao,I think the maximum for extra appendages should be like...Something close to Baal,his 4 tentacles on his back,his two arms and his 4 legs.

thisruoy · Nov 8, 2007

Oh, flash!
Then converted, thats why it gave that paint look
You do know, you can shade with flash, not just use paint buket

Xatoga · Nov 8, 2007

Um, read above. I did mention I could make shading in flash, though thats just cell shading stuff. It fits with this guy's cartoonyness tho so its what I'm using.

thisruoy · Nov 9, 2007

I see no shading except some paint crappiness on the cape

Pyritie · Nov 9, 2007

The shading would make it harder for RDZ and kharma to pick out the details. I say leave it unshaded.

Kwaliti · Nov 9, 2007

Meh, I'm gonna shade this guy in Photoshop, just as soon as I get my scanner working.

Xatoga · Nov 9, 2007

could make shading in flash

could

Read for once Thisruoy. Did I say I shaded it? No... It's like talking to a four year old. Sorry if I'm harsh, I just can't stand incompetence.

Kwaliti · Nov 9, 2007

Pwned

Direfury · Nov 9, 2007

Lol,well put...
Pwned

thisruoy · Nov 10, 2007

When i say "i see no shading except some paint crappiness
It is implying that you havent shaded, not the fact that you tried to shade

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

All right peeps, cool it or I'll disqualify the lot of you.

As we all know from having read the intro, this competition is not about your drawing skill.

Shaynne · Nov 10, 2007

He said he'll pick the one easiest to model and presentation... I think... right?

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

Contest Judging And Voting

The winner shall be determined by the results of a public poll.

I will encourage the public to vote on coolness of idea and clarity of presentation rather than by how perfect the curves are or how straight the lines are.

Remember that the "worse" your presentation is, the more I will have to "interpret" myself in building the model -- which means it may well stray from your concept. The model will be constructed solely from your final submission.

Dark Hunter1357 · Nov 10, 2007

i will try to do samethink :wink:

This is my WIP, a robot driller :fp:

Bah, the final verson is super ugly :ugly:

I give up, doh, just wanted to try....

Pyritie · Nov 10, 2007

It looks retarded.

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

Pyritie, you have no right to comment until you begin work on your own entry. Robo-dragon, please, I've been dying to make one for ages.

Pyritie · Nov 10, 2007

*Cough* Sure you have.

Besides, I'd rather make something I'd at least use.

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

You haven't seen the shit that's been adorning my uni notes recently.

And, you selfish bastard.

Pyritie · Nov 10, 2007

Well it'd be more selfish if you made something that nobody would ever want. Best to make it worth it.

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

I'm not being selfish at all, the public decide entirely what gets made. So if the people voted, they would presumably have need -- or would be capable of creating need because of the awesomeness factor.

Pyritie · Nov 10, 2007

Oh. True.

And if you're that desperate about the robo-dragon, can't you make it without me having to use up my entry?

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

No, because I lack the will to live.

Pyritie · Nov 10, 2007

That's... mildly disturbing.

Rao Dao Zao · Nov 10, 2007

Regardless, I require motivation. A contest such as this is the ideal opportunity to do something.

Direfury · Nov 10, 2007

Rao,i'll mod my submission a bit,make it like a robotic chinese dragon.

Kinda got side tracked there,its gonna be more like a dragonoid demonbot or something.Looks AWESOME from some angles.

And to remind everyone else:
No scanner,can't draw what I have in mind.
Can't use paint to express it.
Can't use 3Dmax worth a shit.
Current 3D program is incompatible with Wc3

EDIT:

Here we are,I have some new ideas for extra animations:
Spell Slam - Alternate:
Swing the torso enough to get the wings close enough to do a melee attack-type animation (Use the wings as a weapon?)Would work for a Roar animation too)
Spell - Alternate:
Use the same Spell animation as the normal form,just with the morphed head instead of the normal head.
Morph:
Head 1 goes down into a slot,Head 2 (The Hood) rolls up.
Morph - Alternate:
Head 2 rolls back into position,Head 1 slides back up.

Pyritie · Nov 11, 2007

It looks like it's already modeled.

Tyrael_IM · Nov 11, 2007

I think im in... I have made until now this :slp:

how that is good for something its not totally mechanical but it can be used as a tower or Power generator :infl_thumbs_up:

Goliath Shard

Pyritie · Nov 11, 2007

What the heck is it?

So it's not a viable submission.

Elenai · Nov 11, 2007

Latest WIP pic.

I am teetering on whether or not to make the gun;

A: A laser beam rifle.

B: A long flame rifle.

And I also dont quite know what to do with the face...But It is getting there.

iristle · Nov 11, 2007

Can I have a go?
5.2 Devestator Spider WIP

Something really simple and easy to model. :witch_doc_sad:

Elenai · Nov 11, 2007

Hmmmz...Perhaps like the Wraith Guard?

iristle · Nov 11, 2007

Egh, scrap my earlier idea, If you wants a Robo Dragon so much, then why not have a go?
Ugh, its gonna take awhile to complete...
