  • Hello Astaroth, do you plan on participating in the HD Modeling Contest #5?

    Hello, I didn't notice it was the HD version of the contest. I am eager to participate in another Modelling Contest though I don't know how to create HD models, specially the new extra texture layers for shadows and stuff.
    Mmmm, I guess you shoudn't count my vote on the current HD contest#5, but pls sign me in for the next classic modelling contest.
    Hey, you using Milkshape for your models?
    Astaroth Zion
    Astaroth Zion
    Hello, yeah.
    I'm still using Milkshape, though only doing half the animations in that program. For other half (straight and simple movements) of the animations I just use Magos and edit the bones.
    Hey Astaroth, whatchupto

    edit: hey you know what I just realized? You were the first person to comment on my profile. I've been going through my chat history to chat with some old friends and acquaintances and stumbled upon this interesting fact :cgrin: Huh... Cool! :D
    Hey Astaroth,
    This would be pretty far down the road as I'm still working system designs but could I please get your permission to do minor edits on your gauntlets/gloves?

    Just want a little bit more variation for characters in the map in equippable stuff. Edits would be mostly be limited to color changing, and scaling to fit a few different models.
    I would be essentially making several copies of your model and change color/scaling for variety. None of them would be distributed outside my map.

    Thanks for your time

    Yes, go ahead and make the modifications mentioned (re-sizing, coloring, and even mesh editing or texture swap), giving credit is enough. You got my approval, and the only thing that I ask is that you send me the link of your map when its done. :D (I would enjoy to see the models in action)

    PS: if you have models with 1 extra attachment point (placed between elbow and hand) I can adjust my gauntlets so they fit waaay better. Right now they are so huge in the back because regular villager models have only the "Hand" attachment, and that point moves so much that if the gauntlet is made thinner it glitches threw the arm.

    Ah, I see. I have been getting models (that I am allowed to edit) and making them use villager animations and scaling how their attachments fit so they don't look stupid (wanted for player to pick race/gender)

    For a better look, you suggest I should make this new attachment point on all of them? I believe I can scale the attachments going to the newly created attachment point close enough that it doesn't look too silly.

    And thank you for your permission it is appreciated
    Hello Astaroth I was pondering if you can make a chainmail chest armor, it would really help with my campaign I am currently making.

    Hello Hazop, yeah I got some models in the DO List, but I will gladly add to the line the chainamail armour. It will take months tough.

    That's is unfortunate but thanks a lot :D
    Hey. I think it would be appreciated if you move the WIPs at the first page of the contest,so that everyone can see it as it is right now,but stacks. Also,keep updating 'em. Juajaja, Ironhide X)
    Astaroth Zion

    I will update the post to keep track of the entries. Also message the owner of first post to put updates.
    It could prove to be extraordinary useful, I for one think it's a good idea and that someone should do it, given that your shields are one of the best I've seen maybe you will get to try it?
    (Double post because too few characters)
    Astaroth, was wondering if you've made any progress on those shields and chesplates? Or even the Kettle?

    Also what's your opinion on shields with replaceable textures? Pretty much like the "Replaceable Banner/Flag" made by Illidan(Evil)X.
    If you could in the future post the message on my profile page, as I don't seem to get the notification if you post it here.
    Thanks.
    Wow that was fast, New Contest huh

    We got good numbers of interested people. Let have as many contests as people want to.
    Besides now is time to discuss the themes before the choosing poll is even made. (Good time to add or remove themes)

    Good numbers? Currently there are only five and it seems like I'm the only one keeping the thread active so far {:T
    Did you delete your forum post about armour and such? Or something the new Hive did, either way I have no idea how to reply anymore.
    Astaroth Zion

    Nope I haven't deleted the thread. It's in the same forum just a bit lower. I haven't worked so much on my attachments focussing on the next Techtree Contest, but fear not that I will complete that "To Do List".
    I truly don't know if you are the right person to ask, but you seem to know your craft.
    I noticed that the Hive is lacking heavily in realistic and historical Helmets.
    Would you be inclined to fill the gap? If not I fully understand but if you could spread the word I would be much greatful as this is something that the hive could really use.
    For example the hive lacks the iconic "Kettle Helm" (which is like a Brodie Helmet).

    Some nice examples of the kettle helmet with and without mail aventail.
