Mini-Modelling Contest Theme Discussion

[Tarrasque]

Peon unit + transferred animations anyone?

 

[Deolrin]

Hardly sounds like a modeling contest to me.

Pharaoh_, there are plenty of popular ones. I suggest a poll.

decent theme.

 

[bisnar13]

decent theme.

The problem with that is only few know how to animate

 

[HammerFist]

I think we have a lot of ancient kind models, and that means cannons, catapults, farm, so I was thinking somethink new like metro or jeep, airplane, military base, ferari, special agent, mostly that kinda models will require to be done from scratch.

Ships?
They don't require a lot of animating. Maybe just Death or small details.

EDIT:
Or another low poly contest. Maybe 400 triangles only or less (better).

Something that is truly missing on the hive:

Robot Base + Attachment Pack Mini Models!


Suggested Rules:

1) Base Model - Chassis (Main component, can be on wheels, a walker, etc.)
Must have those attachment points: Arms- 1-4 / Armor)

2) Attachments 1-4 - Arms (weapons, tools, shields, etc.)

3) Body - Armor (Stands on the Chassis, and holds the Arms)


Tell me what you think.
Could make a hella fun bot arena game with this after !

well thats why its says transfered animations, I think theres a even a tool to make animation transfers you just need the bones to have the same names.



I like ThisPOT theme too but thats probably too much for a mini contest.

 

[HappyTauren]

it's actually fine, the hardest thing about it is th concept. And a couple of technical quirks... Yeah, not so easy.

 

[bisnar13]

any updates?

Have a "Hero Version of Existing Unit" contest. Contestants can choose any unit from anywhere in Melee TFT (i.e. not just the existing four melee factions, but any creep unit or what-not)..

This idea is cool. Creating a hero from existing units/creeps will be good for mini-modeling.

 

[lokoxDZz]

Some kind of god minion? Like a uber servant from the godlike creatures,born from creeps or whatever will be.

 

[Engkanto]

Worker?

 

[stonneash]

I Guess the hive needs "Buildings"

 

[darkside9199]

mmm Maybe other game characters ?

Quote, cool^3

Edit: Go for "Hero Version of Existing Unit", it will be awesome!!!

 

[Kwaliti]

So, you all cool with the Hero from existing unit theme or any other suggestions?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Wow, this is exciting. *crosses fingers*

.

I could go with ships

or I would suggest electronic part based model (real life stuff)

Or Steam engine based models

 

[eubz]

ships or the like are cool but I'd stay on none-hero to hero units.
