Concept Competition of Doom - Mechanics

[Shaynne]

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]

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

 

[Direfury]

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.

[thisruoy]

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

 

[Pyritie]

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

 

[thisruoy]

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

 

[Kuhneghetz]

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

I think he used Adobe Illustrator.

 

[Pyritie]

Or photoshop, perhaps.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

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]

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]

Yes, I made my candle avatar in illustrator.

Vector stuff is confusing.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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?

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]

Make that a googolplex of arms

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Make that a googolplex of arms

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

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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]

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]

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]

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]

I see no shading except some paint crappiness on the cape

 

[Pyritie]

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

 

[Kwaliti]

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

 

[Xatoga]

I see no shading except some paint crappiness on the cape

I did mention I could make shading in flash

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]

Pwned

 

[Direfury]

Lol,well put...
Pwned

 

[thisruoy]

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]

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]

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

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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]

i will try to do samethink

This is my WIP, a robot driller

Bah, the final verson is super ugly

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

 

[Pyritie]

It looks retarded.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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]

*Cough* Sure you have.

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

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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

And, you selfish bastard.

 

[Pyritie]

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

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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]

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]

No, because I lack the will to live.

 

[Pyritie]

That's... mildly disturbing.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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

 

[Direfury]

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]

It looks like it's already modeled.

 

[Tyrael_IM]

I think im in... I have made until now this how that is good for something its not totally mechanical but it can be used as a tower or Power generator Goliath Shard

 

[Pyritie]

What the heck is it?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

... something its not totally mechanical ...

So it's not a viable submission.

 

[Elenai]

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]

Can I have a go?
5.2 Devestator Spider WIP

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

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

Something really simple and easy to model.

 

[Elenai]

Hmmmz...Perhaps like the Wraith Guard?

http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/eldar/catalog/ELD_wraithguard.htm

 

[iristle]

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...
