Mini-Modeling Contest #2 - Critters

[chilla_killa]

Ah yes, you're right, I fixed it a bit, but it has to be a little bit weird, because otherwise the animations fail (sheep is fat and jumps, amadillo is thin and lazy)
But you don't see it ingame.

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol I didn't see this..

Anyway I join. I'll work up somethin' quick.

EDIT: ok is 20 minutes quick enough?

here's my WIP for my new pumpkin monster.

looks just like the wow one

 

[Mr. Bob]

looks just like the wow one

Wow has one? Well, before you guys get any ideas about me ripping off a game I don't even own...

It uses ingame textures. I used a spline, and the shapemerge modifier to cut the face into it. Oh and btw, now it has a hat instead of leaves. : )

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol I know I was just saying it looks like it

 

[Malcous]

Nice model Mr.Bob

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Textured but going to rework the texture of the face later

 

[karland90]

mesh finished and bear texture wrapped:

looks nice (btw the otter really really resembles that mammal from "walking with dinosaurs" last episode. didn't find any good picture sadly

)

 

[Just_Spectating]

i hope it's just the screenshot that makes it look kind of flat

cause it's wrapped very nicely, i like it.

 

[67chrome]

mesh finished and bear texture wrapped:

otters eh? Good. Good. XD

A little disappointed no one is doing a laden swallow though

 

[HappyCockroach]

otters eh? Good. Good. XD

me lieks otterz


Btw, what in-game texture could I use to make its mustache thing?
It's already rigged and got a few anims, but I can still add it.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Presto.

I know it aint much, but It's good enough to submit anyway.

It's a pumpkin... That is creepy. It walks around in spooky places.

Enjoy.

And, feel free to edit. I do recommend attaching your own shadow model to "Origin". (The walk animation is like the zergling's.) Don't bother giving me credit if you use it either.

EDIT: Wow I'm an idiot. I thought the theme was creeps. GRRRR. Anyway that explains the attack anim and the poly count.

DANG IT.

 

[Hawkwing]

LOL. This contest is awesome.

Keep up the good work everyone! Forgotten_Warlord, don't forget to shove some worms up that dog's butt.

He has worms... (0:39)

 

[Devine]

I haven't done shit since my last post but screw it.
Final entry. Low polycount and low filesize (it's only 8kb ingame if I recall correctly). It's a unicorn just imagine the eyes...

Important fact

I know "horse" isn't spelled "hors".

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

your hors is missing something

 

[Just_Spectating]

like EEEEyEEEEs?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I gave the Naga Wind Serpent animations a second try, and finally made a success. Though it was really tedious to attach the stingray mesh to the rig.

However, I made two versions of the stingray, one with different ingame shark textures. And I'm not sure which version I should submit as a contest entry.

The left one, or the right one?

 

[Just_Spectating]

either one looks awesome

like different species of mantaray or something

but for the sake of the contest, i say go with left.

 

[M0rbid]

I agree, both good looking, but the left one looks a little more realistic than the right one!! Nice Job!

 

[D a w n]

left one

 

[Kuhneghetz]

After a few votes, both from this thread and in the chat, I decided to submit the stingray on the left.

Here comes my entry for this contest.

Stingray

Model by: Dan van Ohllus (aka Kuhneghetz)

Descriptions:
A shark-related rayfish that are commonly located in tropical
and subtropical marine waters throughout the world.
When they notice a threat, they tend to swim away or cover themselves
in sand. They only use their barbed stingers for self-defense.
More about the stingrays can be found on Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stingray

Model descriptions:
Mesh is 100% made from scratch.
Uses the ingame purple shark texture.
Animations taken from the Couatl (aka Wind Serpent).

[Mulgrim]

[Devine]

NO.
I'm not changing it. Besides, you should check it ingame.

 

[Just_Spectating]

[shamanyouranus]

[Mulgrim]

sure makes me feel left out D: i hope in a year or so I can be as quick and efficient.

 

[D a w n]

so I herd u liek mudkipz walroosez

I suggest a scaling of 2 (or even more) when you test/use it

 

[Malcous]

Awesome model DonDustin !

 

[tee.dubs]

yea its fair tasty, but the death anim makes me lol. he just kinda tips.

 

[Just_Spectating]

don't walrus's have really big tusks?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Perhaps it's a young walrus?

Wise use of the seal animations, Dust. And the walrus model looks great.

 

[D a w n]

I have looked at many different photos and they usually had the tusks between this and this

I tried different sizes, but the longer tusks were quite difficult to place and did not looked that good :>

 

[tee.dubs]

Ok here's mine.



It's an amphibious lizard-fish hybrid that has a pseudo head for a tail to distract from predators. Enjoy!

 

[Just_Spectating]

looks too dangerous to be a critter

 

[tee.dubs]

most of the critters submitted here are extremely dangerous. this guy doesn't even have teeth he's pretty much bird food. just look at his innocent splashing about and cheesy grin!

 

[Just_Spectating]

ah,

your screenshot just made it look big.

im guessing its more of a frog size?

 

[tee.dubs]

no, it actually is quite big... about as tall as a peasant. but friendly like a kodo.

 

[Just_Spectating]

great model nonetheless

 

[tee.dubs]

thanks, that's all i really wanted to hear. lol.

 

[chilla_killa]

most of the critters submitted here are extremely dangerous.

Ah you're right, my Amadillo frightens everybody to hell and will kill us all!!

 

[tee.dubs]

exactly

 

[Kitabatake]

I nearly forgot mah porcupine
well here it is...

A common porcupine happily basking in the sunlight

 

[Amigurumi]

Btw, will there be a public vote and/or a proper judging/results for this contest, or will the judges be as quick and lazy as they were in the previous mini-contest?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

wip is for proof or for improvement?
