Mini-Modeling Contest #2 - Critters

[Pyritie]

Contest Theme: Critters

Contestants are to make a model of a critter. This is any sort of animal or whatnot that does not (usually ) attack, like rabbits, deer, bats, etc.

1. Your model must contain a stand, walk, and death anim
2. There is no poly limit but please keep it reasonable
3. You can use either ingame or custom textures (just be sure to submit them along with your entry)

• No submission may violate any Hive Workshop site rules.
• The model must follow the current theme. If any model does not fit, a moderator will tell you ASAP as to avoid confusion.
• You have to make sure the model is fully and correctly functional in-game.
• You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
• You may make as many models as you want, however pick only one for the final judge's evaluation.
• To qualify for entry, you must post your model(s) in .mdx format, and an in-game screenshot of the model.
• You must post your entry before the deadline expires and attach it to a post.
• You must make the model for this competition, which means that you cannot use old works.

• First Place: 20 reputation points and your entry on an award icon.
• Second Place: 12 reputation points
• Third Place: 6 reputation points

• Need judges!

All submissions must be complete and submitted 2 weeks after the contest is started.

[Mechanical Man]

Wasn't supposed to be tanks?

 

[Dionesiist]

No, non-believer!

 

[Pyritie]

Wasn't supposed to be tanks?

That's for the next main contest

 

[Dionesiist]

Giraffe ist mein, bitchez!

 

[Mulgrim]

do all animals count as critters?

if so im making the little squirrel from ice age, but as you all know me, i will make up some lame excuse and never make it into the poll.

sigh

 

[Slaydon]

that was fast

 

[Boneknight]

i might make a monkey

 

[Amigurumi]

I really want to participate, but I'm only a beginner in modeling, and I don't think
that I can model just a small critter.
And since it needs animations, I'm totally out

but good luck to those who taking part in this contest!

@Dionesiist: win...

 

[Slaydon]

i might make a monkey

i was gonna say that, also looking in a mirror count as cheating

Goggie

Im entering IF i learn to animate xD

 

[Mulgrim]

transfer animations.

 

[Pyritie]

do all animals count as critters?

The kind that don't really attack, yeah. So like a wolf isn't a critter but a squirrel is.

 

[Mulgrim]

is courage a critter?

 

[D a w n]

questions:
-would something cute would count as a critter even if it is not a real animal??
-is there a face limit??

 

[Mulgrim]

add these facts to the op or we'll have unnecessary spamage

 

[Pyritie]

is courage a critter?

No

questions:
-would something cute would count as a critter even if it is not a real animal??

Well most of the things in WC3 aren't real so sure. As long as it's sorta something that's more of an environment "extra" and not a creep, then it fits.
-is there a face limit??[/QUOTE]

That's in the first post I think

 

[D a w n]

first wip :>

 

[Kitabatake]

Hahah I'll join

I'll be making a porcupine!

WiP

Reference picture:

Work in Progress picture:

• In-game textures
• Custom animations

Still need to add a few more spikes and a couple of animations

I hope I didn't go too artistic with it...

 

[Wintermute]

You really should upload it ;D

 

[Vengeancekael]

I want cinematic contest!!! But good luck to the contestants

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I will make Cthulhu.

 

[Mulgrim]

forget about that ice age thing, im going to be doing a frostwyrm cub, WIP:

i find it disturbing that its a man and not a brown furry creature

 

[Crazy Cow]

forget about that ice age thing, im going to be doing a frostwyrm cub, WIP:

A baby dragon is actually a whelp, but that sounds like a great idea. I need an idea as good as that before I join, but I will keep my mind open for any inspiration. Perhaps a maggot, or a fish...

Kitabatake, your WIP is not a cuddly porcupine, but a vicious blood-soaked zombie. I really, really hope that isn't your vision of a porcupine, for the sake of your sanity.

Will, isn't Chthulhu the complete opposite of a critter? When I think of Chthulhu, I imagine death and destruction and horror...

 

[Vengeancekael]

i find it disturbing that its a man and not a brown furry creature

I was going to say the same thing xD

 

[Mulgrim]

more WIP's, thats as far as ive come today, done with the head.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Narf!

 

[Mulgrim]

is that a RAYFISH?!

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The creature who killed Steve Irwin, yes.

Though stingrays are usually harmless and tend to swim away or hide when they notice a threat. They only use their stingers for defense.

 

[Mulgrim]

if they have that on film it'd be worth watching

 

[Mulgrim]

moar wips

on second though, i think that looks kind of bad, i might remake that

 

[Pyritie]

What is it?

 

[Sephalo]

What is it?

Looks like a seahorse or dragon withoud wings imo

 

[SasuhKun]

Courage would be a critter since he's a dog, but he did banished some ghosts there, finished with that assasin granny there, dealed with the assasins by there... not a critter, for shuzah. Though a model (perhaps a map ) would be interesting. Yeah, it looks a sea horse. (Because of the lack of the other parts of the body. Is there any seahorse model for war? Like a night elf using magic to breathe under water and battle mounted on a sea horse against the naga? )

Edit: Does that Giraffe have rabies? :O

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Here's another W.I.P. from me.

 

[Lag_Reviews]

Good luck!

Good luck to all the modelers out there at HiveWorkShop.

Hope to see some good models in the competition and may the best 3 models/modelers win!

Can't wait to see what people have to put up,

PS: Will there be a vote system for the puplic to have a say on who should win?

 

[Mulgrim]

nevermind about changing it, but as of now that head is too high poly for a unit (specially a critter) so I'll just make a whoop-ass texture and lower the current one, i'll use that as a portrait. here's a pic of a concept, i remember these could be passive pets in WoW http://warcraftpets.com/news/images/big/frosty_big.jpg

What is it?

your child turned undead, a frostwyrm whelp *cackle*

i wasn't going to do it anyways, but the reason it's not a critter is because it's a main character.

 

[tee.dubs]

So what's happening with the attachment modelling compo?

 

[Mulgrim]

obviously scrapped, theme is too similar to the 1st modelling contest. instead the tank modelling contest will be hosted soon.

 

[tee.dubs]

shaaaaad, i was looking forward to it. guess i'll just make my ideas anyway and give it to the resources.

i wonder what i'll do for this...

 

[Mulgrim]

ice age squirrel

do it

 

[Deolrin]

moar wips

on second though, i think that looks kind of bad, i might remake that

Looks like the WoW whelp, kinda.

 

[Malcous]

The rayfish is sweet

 

[MistAssass]

Ok i think i'll be in for this one ... and my idea of critter is a snail so i can keep it ... so that about all !
~MA

 

[Mulgrim]

WIP: done with the body, won't be changing that anymore, but i'll be closing the mouth for the unit, it will be opened in the portrait though for better effect. and that thing on its chest will be alphad to make the ribs.

i changed my UI btw

 

[Slaydon]

smooth shaded plox

 

[MistAssass]

Ok here's my first wip ... currently its kinda high poly ...

[Pyritie]

your child turned undead, a frostwyrm whelp *cackle*

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

 

[Hjorleif]

A frostwyrm critter would be sweet for a Northrend map. Have them flying around and such. If you're not allowed to enter it here, you should still release it. =p

 

[HappyCockroach]

Ok here's my first wip ... currently its kinda high poly ...
~MA

That is a lovely snail you got there...
