Mini-Texturing Contest - Halloween

[Misha]

Highlights added
Whatcha think, folks, is that enough for war3?

 

[Heinvers]

A bit on the overused highlights part if you'd ask me. You lack a transitory shading work all over. If you ask yourself what, then take a look at Traggey's skin to see what I mean.

 

[Archian]

Nice wip @Sclammerz ! Looks promising

Also, great to see people are using A.R.'s unit wrap project

well if it is alright to be at least a decent war3 texture, i would like to go ahead and post the finished skin. I really can't see what i'm missing unless one directly paints it for me, which would probably be cheating.. this here is the main reason why i didn't really join any contest before x3

I'm not looking to win, ya know x3

 

[Kyrbi0]

You're doing fine. Just a bit of constructive critique.

Is it a pumpkin/jack-o-lantern skin for your fishie?

 

[Murlocologist]

New concept, but still can't get it smooth.

I recommend you use this then: WC3 Unit Wrap Compilation Project

 

[Traggey]

That thing is going straight up lovecraftian now! I sort of adore it!

I'm really not sure what you mean by transitory shading.. my model doesn't exactly follow the war3's 'light shines directly from above' deal, just because i made the model itself 3-sided, all using the same wrap

yep it is

 

[Just_Spectating]

It's Alive.. IT'S ALIIIIVEEE!

 

[Misha]

Ho-kay '~' new WIP

i dropped down both shading and lighlighting by a notch, but added more around the lines that were sharper, i dunno if that is what you were pointing at, @Heinvers '~'

 

[Heinvers]

@Just_Spectating and @Misha great wip's so far. Same for Murlocologist. 'loving that horror feel of it.

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers But does it have that 'thing' you're looking for? Ouo

 

[Heinvers]

Almost there Misha.

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers , how about now?

 

[Heinvers]

Now you could tweak those eyes and think of something more fitting for those mesh parts. I think that looking at ~Nightmare's avatar might spark some ideas for those.

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers oO i thought the eyes were good. they're like carved bits on top of the pumpkin, with some glow underneath

 

[Murlocologist]

I officially got no idea what I'm doing.

You are fun to watch.

Just, like, make a Forsaken dude(tte).

 

[Misha]

@Heinvers , I hope it looks good now .. after completely reworking the eyes to more-less line up with the body, I really think i'm done

*closes the suggestion box*

 

[Murlocologist]

Head is more less done.
I'm in temptation to give him one of those dresses Heinvers suggested.

 

[Misha]

Much eldritch xD

 

[Just_Spectating]

the wrap is atrocious but the creation is used to being called a monster.

 

[Misha]

There's the pumpkinfish ingame

the path is just ' cutefish.blp '

added the blp in a zip file, because i don't exactly know if hive still makes images into jpg or not <.<

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Pumpfish, a distant cousin of Blowfish

 

[Archian]

It's Alive.. IT'S ALIIIIVEEE!

Awesome WIP! Hope you will finnish this Nice choice of model!

 

[Traggey]

Latest WIP from me! Don't mind the gross looking alpha edges, that is to be cleaned up later.

 

[Misha]

@Traggey you should release that sword separately, it's awesome

well, also the rest of the skin is shaping up nicely

 

[Traggey]

Slowly getting there.

 

[NightStalker]

Here's my WIP. He's going to be a messy creature soon ^^

Spoiler: wip1

Here's my reference btw;

Spoiler: ref

And awesome work everyone, you've got many inspiring things going, that's what made me try my chance at this, even if I'm not a texturer or anything else

 

[Traggey]

Neat idea NightStalker! Looking forward to the final result.

 

[NightStalker]

Thanks Traggey ^^ I hope itll be good as you guys' textures

 

[Just_Spectating]

Final Submission:
Frankenstein's Monster

 

[Moy]

Impressive and creative!

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Nice outcome, Just_Spectating! Creative, indeed!

 

[Misha]

Hmm.. i'd say that frankenstein needs little more highlights

edit: and fixed 'above-forehead' area.. it just seems odd to me as green

 

[Traggey]

Ugh, something is being weird with Arthas, the bottom parts of the cloth where there is normally teamcolour in the alphad areas is being made completely greyscale in-game, so looks like I'll have to repaint those to be team coloured.


I could use some input from you lot!

So originaly I alphad out the horns, however this also removes the tail, as for some reason they thought sharing the horns and tail on the same UV space was a good idea.

This means that removing the horns will remove the tail, and leave a big bumhole on the horse itself. So I've added the horns and tail back in, not a super big fan of the result though. Luckily enough Arthas cape covers the bum for the most part, but when you zoom in, the hole is clearly visible.

Which verision would you prefer? No horns with bumhole, or horns and tail?

 

[Just_Spectating]

i like the horns

 

[Kyrbi0]

The horns really 'set it off', aesthetically... But I don't see that big of a bum-hole, nor that it is much of an issue.

 

[Traggey]

Hmmm yeaah. I do believe the horns ruin the look the horseman aswell, I could possibly upload two different verisions.

 

[Misha]

Honestly @Traggey , with how derp the deathknight/arthas models are, the horse's horns are really not the worst thing.. I'm sure you can make them better suited to the theme

 

[Murlocologist]

Final entry. Alien gladiator.

 

[Misha]

@Murlocologist ..why is his head having that 'patch of moss' on top? so to say

 

[Murlocologist]

I had to do something with that part of his hair, so this patch of moss is actually a visor of his helmet.

 

[NightStalker]

I've got a question guys. In photoshop my skin looks darker and it seems a lot bright on the model itself. Is this normal?

EDIT: new WIP

Spoiler: wip2

Open for any feedback/comments ^^

 

[Just_Spectating]

it's normal, but it will also be slightly darker in-game, which is what really matters, so if you have doubts, check it in-game

 

[Mr.Goblin]

just posting a quick WIP to show I'm the author... ya know. just following the rules

Jack O Lantern kid... person. scarecrow thingy.

Might post the final texture either later tonight or tomorow.

Nothing fancy, I'm two days away from the deadline.... so going for simple.

 

[Misha]

@Mr.Goblin that's fancy already =P

 

[Archian]

No horns with bumhole

FTW!

As with all texturing contests, how you handled the wrap will be taken into consideration

Nice preview, @Mr.Goblin
