🗿HD Modeling Contest #5 - Creep Camp

[Symphoneum]

Another WIP. I sculpted a hat in Blender, here's the result on the model

 

[Mr. Paupiette]

Had some stuff IRL so I couldn't really work on the contest for a moment.

Anyway, here's a WIP for 2 different creeps :

The Spidertank is to be interpreted as some sort of mount, just like the Bandit Lord

Very nice! Leper Gnomes do make great creeps indeed, lots of cool robots or rifle armed gnomes.

 

[Wlarius]

Only good gnome is a leper gnome, because they die sooner.

How creative! Reminds me a bit about erwtenpeller's Mortimer, the Wizard's Stove concept art. Thumbs up if anyone remember that one.

 

[Symphoneum]

Here's another WIP for my arquebussier. Still need to add some dirt and dust but then the textures will be ready for export

Update:

Here is some further progress (now I'm ready to export the textures)! I added a dirt layer in the following pictures.

To tie the textures together and get rid of a bit of the saturation, I also added a gradient layer that adds shadows from the bottom and highlights from the top. This brought everything together nicely

 

[Raddazong]

The first three models of my cult are optically finished... for now.
I might decide to rework them completely... who knows?
Just wanted to leave a second WIP picture there...

Here we have a Disciple (which is also a small tribute to SD's original Warlock model)
flanked by two Fanatics.
(If you're wondering, where are the team colors?
The Fanatic's arm-tattoos are team-colored and Disciple's skull paintings are team-colored)

I have not uploaded my progress for a long time, here is the second concept for my tuskar. Necromancer

Disciple looks like he skipped leg day.

[Symphoneum]

I have three more WIPs for the arquebussier. I went back into the textures and cleaned them up a bit, used a different silk pattern that complements the colors better, and added the badge that I placed on the Captain's pauldron (both a clean version and a defaced version). I also have everything working in RMS, so I wanted to share a WIP for that as well.

 

[Daliox1]

Jeez, the work you all participants are doing is ... insane²³³³²²² ! Well done to everyone !

 

[Symphoneum]

Started work on the pikeman. First order of business: sculpt and texture a pike!

Next step will be getting the custom armor in order (need to sculpt/texture another helmet) and then kitbash the pikeman. I'll be using the militia unit as a base.

 

[Archian]

The deadline is fast approaching (August 7).

How is everybody doing?

@Barorque @Symphoneum @Tamplier @Raddazong @Mr Ogre man @Superfrycook @vindorei @Mr. Paupiette @Taylor Mouse @ZoomMan @Rukhmar @Malmgrev

Good, although it’s going to be down to the wire. I still need to do portraits and finalize animations. I also have to finish a pikeman and at least one other unit (maybe a priest or battlefield doctor). It will release, though.

 

[Malmgrev]

Here is another WIP, probably what the final bundle will look like. In next video I will try to showcase particle effects, animations ect.

@Barorque @Symphoneum @Tamplier @Raddazong @Mr Ogre man @Superfrycook @vindorei @Mr. Paupiette @Taylor Mouse @ZoomMan @Rukhmar @Malmgrev

Just updating the models using RMS 4.4.

 

[Symphoneum]

Here's some animations I put together for the pikeman:

 

[Mr. Paupiette]

Here's another WIP of my creep camp :
The Defender and the Spidertank are nearly finished.
I'm still working hard on the rifleman, trying to have nearly perfect animations before starting the texturing process.

 

[Mr Ogre man]

I doubt I'll be able to finish them on time. Downsides of 24/7 jobs.

 

[Raddazong]

I have one more model to finish... will be difficult due to work.

 

[Archian]

@Mr Ogre man We can always grant an extension, so the contestants who've shown progress before the deadline can get the time they need to finish.

Usually 2 weeks.

 

[Symphoneum]

Modeled and textured a cuirass for my Pikeman:

 

[Wlarius]

I bet the participants are off vacationing somewhere abroad when they are supposed to be working on their projects. The audacity. They all lack discipline. Well, I guess one could grant their lazy asses those 2 extra weeks of extension.

 

[ZoomMan]

Here the other two models almost finished. It would already be 3 tuskar that I have made. I'll be uploading them soon.

 

[Symphoneum]

Tonight I sculpted a morion for my pikeman. Next up, texturing. Then I'll put everything together in RMS and we'll have a finished pikeman!

 

[Malmgrev]

I'm all for 2 a weeks extension.

 

[Archian]

Awesome WIP guys!

Updated deadline August 23.

 

[Malmgrev]

Here is another WIP:

 

[ZoomMan]

Here is the last image of my creation. The models are already uploaded.

 

[Malmgrev]

Uploaded my pack now. I could not get the alpha values or sound to work properly in the Emerald Watcher death animation which is a shame, and without any help (which is not allowed) I think this is the best I could do. Good luck everyone!

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Good Luck to you all, I've seen some amazing stuff here !!

Since life/work/D&D have had some priorities to hobby, I will not be entering, if ( a big if) I finish my jackal, I'll post it in the models!

 

[Symphoneum]

So I've had some feedback that the Alterac theme that I've been using is not very useful outside of some specific applications, which is a good point. Therefore, I will also be releasing a generic version of the pack (since we have an extension I figure an extra texture set may be feasible, if not that's ok too). Here's the generic pikeman:

Notice that the deadline was extended to August 23. I hope that gives you the time you need to finish your entry

 

[Symphoneum]

Finished the portrait and icon for the Pikeman, the Captain, and the Arquebussier, now just need to finish the Captain and Arquebussier. Maybe (since we still have time) I'll add one more unit based on the villager woman. We'll see if I have time!

@Archian I believe @Rukhmar has uploaded a submission but it has not been added to the list. Perhaps it was not tagged.

 

[Archian]

Updated first post!

@Barorque @Symphoneum @Tamplier @Raddazong @Mr Ogre man @Superfrycook @Mr. Paupiette @Taylor Mouse

Only a few days remaining. Let me know in the comments if you need more time.

Not sure about the others but I have three models ready to go. However, if you do extend it (note I am not requesting that but I would be ok with another extension) I have started kitbashing a fourth model! Below is an early WIP for my Surgeon, who will have a plague doctor outfit

Update:

Here's an early WIP animation kitbash for her spell and attack animations! She raises her lantern to cast a spell and waves her wand/cane to attack

 

[Raddazong]

I'm sorry, but I'm withdrawing my participation for this contest.
I'm currently having too many private problems and can't get around to completing my models.

I don't want any more time either, because I don't know when I'll have the nerve to take care of the modeling here. Sry boyz!

 

[Mr. Paupiette]

Finished my work for the contest and uploaded the models in the HD ressources section.

Leper Gnomes

Entry for the 5th HD Modeling Contest For my first contest, decided to go with the Leper Gnomes : Leper gnomes are a diseased, twisted, violent and mutated race of gnomes who wander through the irradiated halls of Gnomeregan. Their minds left crazed by the irradiation of their city, the leper...

[Symphoneum]

I may finish the Surgeon before Wednesday's due date! Here's a WIP, just need to sculpt a hat, rig her cape, and do a portrait model

EDIT: I have run into a major error with my models. Everything works fine in RMS, most of the models even work fine in the WE, but the Captain is not texturing properly in game. See picture below. I am concerned I will not be able to submit in time due to this error. I will submit without him if I cannot figure out the error, this is very disappointing.

False alarm, there was a stray SD texture in the emissive slot. All is well!

 

[Archian]

The deadline has been extended by two weeks.

 

[Symphoneum]

The deadline has been extended by two weeks.

Thank you, even though the major bug was easily resolved, this will let me get the rest of the bugs done in a stress free manner. I sure hope this lets other people complete their entries, too!

Here is my completed entry:

Hath's Highlanders

Stunning entries so far folks!

@Barorque @Tamplier @Raddazong @Mr Ogre man @Superfrycook @Mr. Paupiette @Taylor Mouse There is still time to enter!

Many people, myself included, are hoping to see your artwork in the contest poll choice

 

[Mr Ogre man]

I have 5 free days, from 2 to 6 of september; it largely depends on if I go somewhere or I stay at home

[Archian]

Alright guys, I need to know how many contestants plan to finish their entry, if an extension is granted. Note that only contestants who have shown WIP images before the deadline are eligible to enter after an extension.

I also need to hear the other contestants, who've already submitted their entry, if they agree.

By my count these contestants have yet to submit their final entry:

@Barorque
@Raddazong
@Mr Ogre man
@Taylor Mouse

 

[Symphoneum]

If anyone else would like an extension I think it's alright. I know everyone is very busy, most of us do this as a hobby in our free time (what little we have) so deadlines are hard to meet.

 

[vindorei]

Sure, we need models more than competitions.
