Attachment Modelling Contest [Approved for next modeling mini]

[real138]

hahah k. hmm ok everyone say how many models it should be. i think 4 min is good?

 

[syltman]

Haven't we already had this?

 

[Gyrosphinx]

It would have been nice of we were allowed to make some of them use the same attachement points, as a belt, twin shoulderpads and a chestpiece would all use the chest attachement point.

 

[real138]

you can just different types of attachments.

That seems to defeat the purpose though. In terms of a competition, trying to make the most creative model possible is the idea rather than lots of little ones. For the resource archive it would make sense to upload them separately for public use, but for competition time impressing the judges is the goal, and no one will be impressed with a bunch of small parts that could combine into one.

Oh yeah and you can just go ahead and add me to the contestants list please, i'm getting pretty pumped.

 

[real138]

hmm ok ill let them use same attachment point but i doubt it will go over well with judges so i wouldnt recommend it.

 

[tee.dubs]

wow you're really open to suggestion, i'm liking that. i think i'll really enjoy this competition when it comes out, i'd rep again but the police won't let me out of my rep coma (spread).

 

[real138]

ha ya well im open to suggestions cuz im not the one thats participating just organizing. so keep the ideas coming guys.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Ye! well, sounds nice, can't wait to start... (but to not break the rulkes I'll have to...)

 

[real138]

haha ya wouldnt want that. well cant wait for some moderators to comment on this...

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Maybe try to contact pyritie?

 

[real138]

hmm ill wait till he looks at it. if you want thought ask him to look here. well guys still need judges. anyone wanna sign up?

 

[Pyritie]

Wasn't the first modeling contest for attachments?

 

[real138]

im not sure. just thought this was a good idea so i submitted it.

 

[Slaydon]

i could join, but do i stand a chance? ;D

 

[real138]

the more the merrier theres no penalty so join. any suggestions on judges guys?

 

[Mulgrim]

maybe we need a specific theme on the attachments cause of modelling competition 1, like making them a set.

Wasn't the first modeling contest for attachments?

oh plzplzplz *puppy eyes*

 

[real138]

they do. the theme will match the unit you pick. there will be about 5 units to pick from to make a set for. each a different class. Tank Assassin Ranger Mage so on.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

I believe I'm going to make Partisan/Militia/Guerillia Items

 

[D a w n]

I always wanted to create an attachment so it would be the perfect opportunity for me =P

 

[Deolrin]

I'll join if it gets hosted.

 

[real138]

awesome ill add you guys to the list. lookin good but i need judges still. anyone got an idea for good fair judges?

 

[D a w n]

judges always come up sooner or later

 

[real138]

ha ok well just needs approval from mods, judges signup, and set length of contest.

 

[The Panda]

Nice contest but fix the contest information page up it seems messy. Page 1

 

[ACdestinydream]

[Forgotten_Warlord]

With that kind of spirit you won't! Trust me you'll be amazed at what you can create!

 

[ACdestinydream]

nah. chilla or u will win.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I still need practice

 

[real138]

ha ok well adding you to list. hopefully this will become a official contest soon. already like 10 contestants.

 

[diosilva16]

10 is enough for a sword... and you need at least 100 for a helmet

i think it is dumb to specify that every attachement should be for a different point, the use of attachements is that they can be swaped. a shield pack or a sword pack or a helmet pack should be as fine as an armour set... besides there arent that many attachement points so it would be really limiting

i'd say 3 to 10 attachements with a combined limit of triangles at 700

but attachment sets are matching and go together

 

[real138]

ya i want it so one unit has a matching set of attachments. like a peasant would get armor, a sword, helmet, boots, gloves, belt, shield.

 

[diosilva16]

then i'm out

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

then i'm out

thats fine less compitition for me xD

 

[real138]

lol ok sorry to hear that. hmm im gonna msg pyrite about this. just look at the poll 30-2-3 popular

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol yeah xDI could break out with an entire attachment set in a day, once I know what units it has to fit, and what the theme is has that been specified yet?

 

[real138]

the theme will be whatever fits the unit that will probably be one of the categorys

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well I'm terrible at modeling but trying this seems fun - hope it gets approved.

 

[real138]

i talked to pyrite and he/she said it might so lets all hope

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

i talked to pyrite and he/she said it might so lets all hope

I'm pretty sure its a he

and yeah I want to make a mind blowing model

 

[real138]

haha well ive been told he and she so im gonna just put it that way till pyrite tells me otherwise
lol i hope to see alot of them so theres competition

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol i hope to see alot of them so theres competition

well I'm sure you've noticed that my meshes at least have been drastically increasing in quality along with textures/skins

 

[real138]

ya i think you can could texture that skeleton warrior yourself now hmm any other participant or suggestions?

lol just wish there was a way to flatten the wrap

 

[Teaspoon]

Hey maybe I could join, just made an attachment that I think is pretty good, I'll do it for the fun and practice. Maybe I even have a chance to be second last Oh and was it only in-game textures? If so then I'm definately in.
Edit: A suggestion for one of the themes would be Gladiator style, I got some pretty nice ideas for that.

 

[real138]

ah ok ill add you to the list
im not gonna make it ingame textures only since i want to see the best attachments around but im sure most ppl will only use ingame-textures.\
the themese will be up to you as long as they match the unit you are making the attachments for.
so lets say for a grunt: you want to replace the axe with something else. replace the helm. add some chest armor. and maybe make him have a tattered cape or such. but make sure that all the attachments are of the same theme and go on the same unit.
what i was thinking with the units would be allow any wc3 original unit. but you can also edit out weapons and such from the original model AS LONG AS you dont edit the actual organic parts of the unit.

Phew! thank god for that!
Edit: do the chosen units animations have to fit for the attachments?

 

[real138]

oo haven't thought of that hmm. No i dont think so. or maybe i could make it so you have to edit the animations also so it me unit? hmm tell me what you guys think.!!!

 

[Teaspoon]

After all it's an attachment contest and I think that the animations don't have to match at all. Oh and I vote for only in-game textures, I agree with chilla; otherwise it'll be a bit of a texturing contest.
Oh and for filesize and such I'd like 1000polies maximum total, and 10kb per attachment maximum
