Mini-Modeling Contest #2 - Critters

[Mulgrim]

Dunno if that's really a critter then - the other dragon whelps in wc3 are creeps, not critters

ah hell, i swear these were passive pets, in the end it looks completely inoffensive, it's a baby lol. besides it'll be small

edit: proof! http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=683#screenshots don't kill me!

@HappyCockraoch: well this would seem like the perfect opportunity to make a cockroach, but i can't make skins to save my life and can't find any suitable in-game ones, so it's not gonna happen... yet.

 

[Mulgrim]

That is a lovely snail you got there...

it's almost like you expect it to sing.

 

[Just_Spectating]

we already have a snail model in existence

 

[tee.dubs]

well here's my first whip, its some sort of gross amphibious cave weasel cricket thing. i would've used the shark texture but DvO already has it, not a good look to share textures.

Heh, I used to have the red one of those back when I played WoW

 

[Mulgrim]

pyritie played WoW ? :O

so does that mean i can finish it and not get disqualified ?

 

[Pyritie]

meh, fine

 

[ACdestinydream]

hey look ACdestinydream is joining this compettition too! im post some wips later. i saw that THW needs more fish models for aquarium maps... so im making one.
edit: here are the wips. looks ugly, im fixing them.

 

[Deolrin]

Does a mechanical unit counts as a critter? A really small one with no firepower stronger than a kid's toy gun.

 

[Mulgrim]

that fish should be nemo

meh, fine

yay

 

[HappyCockroach]

Does a mechanical unit counts as a critter? A really small one with no firepower stronger than a kid's toy gun.

As long as it can be used as an extra to the game environment, yes.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I'm really liking the whelp
Idk if I should join, and if I do idk what i'd make

 

[Pyritie]

yay

Just make sure it looks harmless

 

[Mulgrim]

that screenshot didnt do it enough justice, here u go

now to begin the texture.

 

[Amigurumi]

looks nice.
hows the current face count?

 

[Mulgrim]

358 triangles. dont know if thats ok or not for a critter.

 

[Deolrin]

Mulgrim, critters in Warcraft 3 range from 70 to 470 polycount-wise, so you're just fine.

 

[Slaydon]

your gonna do ehm, Fx, i dont remember what its called, but effects like blue flame inside it? xD

 

[Mulgrim]

was considering it, so possibly for a more awesome effect, not sure yet cause of the size. chat kept me distracted today, but i got the head texture started, tomorrow I'm working with internet off lol. 10 days will be enough to turn it in at the last minute (Im that slow...)

called a particle emitter by the way

 

[Deolrin]

Harmless, animated, flating magical objects work, right?

 

[Pyritie]

Harmless, animated, flating magical objects work, right?

If they're creatures of some sort, yeah

 

[Deolrin]

Musical instruments are considered creatures...? :/

Well, a good example of what I mean is the Blood Elven animated brooms from WoW. And yes, they are considered critters in there.

 

[Mulgrim]

those brooms were as creepy as hell when put in the right places

 

[Coinblin]

TURTLE!! Called it 8) I don't think that's been taken yet, right?

 

[Just_Spectating]

TURTLE!! Called it 8) I don't think that's been taken yet, right?

no, but i think we already have one

 

[Coinblin]

no, but i think we already have one

LAME! I'll keep on thinking of something. Thanks for the heads up man

 

[ACdestinydream]

omg i dont think i stand a chance already. my angelfish will get crap results for sure...

 

[D a w n]

got a new concept i guess. Will post some WIPs soon

 

[Devine]

UNICORN IS MINE.
inb4 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Also, I already started it and the mesh is as good as done. Needs some tweaking.
166 polies so far.

Yeah but, Unicorn 1 Unicorn 2.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

First one is a complete joke, and the second one is just an undead variant.

Seems I'll have to try scratch animate my stingray model, since there aren't any wc3 rigs that fit on this model. Tried the Couatl (aka Wind Serpent) and the result looked like shit.

 

[Mulgrim]

Yeah but, Unicorn 1 Unicorn 2.

don't forget the most important of all, http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...icorn-143986/?prev=search=charlie&d=list&r=20

edit: fail

 

[Devine]

Yeah but, Unicorn 1 Unicorn 2.

We still think you're awesome though.
Should get photoshop again =/.
Unless someone knows a good wc3 texture I can use?

 

[Mulgrim]

a horse texture maybe? the one for gandalf or w.e his name is

edit: antonidas! or the human hero mage

 

[D a w n]

magnataur blue or malfurion's stag maybe??

Oh and here is a WIP of my new concept. Will do a walrus. 154 faces for now and I only have to finish the legs and the face.

Edit: here is a wrapped version.

 

[Dionesiist]

Is that a human heart?

 

[Pyritie]

I don't see the walrus

 

[D a w n]

uhm.... that might be because I haven't made work on the proportions yet and because there is a lack of fitting textures. Yeah I could take the tuskarr for the head, but the rest of it is covered by cloth. And the razormane was pretty much the one with the most fitting skin :/
....Oh I completely forgot about the seal texture. that might work ...

 

[Dionesiist]

No, what the fuck IS that?

 

[Mulgrim]

give it time, it's still an early WIP >.>

 

[Just_Spectating]

This is my submission

very simple.
maybe its too simple but whatever, it was fun.


Its a flying Skull Spirit
completely harmless

good critter for dungeon maps or something.


EDIT: wait,
changed the internal name

EDIT2:
Removed some useless stuff

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Ok here is my WIP so far (flat shaded view works better so can re-arange the faces ...)

I'll let you guess what it is xD

 

[Just_Spectating]

a bear?

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

ok now try

 

[tee.dubs]

It a pig!

 

[Just_Spectating]

or a pug

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

its a pug making a lot of progress on it too

 

[tee.dubs]

NO, IT A OINKER. HWAAAAA maybe i'll mine a pig nose...

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol here it is almost done with mesh needs ears tail paws and some minor adjustments :

)
