Modeling Competition #1 - Attachment Pack

The Hive Workshops' First:

Modeling Competition #1

The Hive Workshop is hosting it's first modeling competition!

Deadline: 15th of March 2007 - with possible extension. Winner(s) will be decided by the final votes of a public poll.

For this contest you will have to create your very own attachment pack.
Base idea from TDR's modeling contest theme.

In case you don't know, an attachment is a model that can be attached in-game to a certain point on a unit. Such as a sword can be attached to the hand, so it looks like he now wields a weapon. Attachments also work on heads and other places of a unit.

The number of models you create for your pack does not matter, however, people might find a pack with more models more useful than those with two or three. Also, the type of attachments is not limited to weapons only. Either way, it is up to the creator.

Rules and Guidelines:

• You have to make sure the attachments are fully and correctly functional in-game.
• No extracting attachments from in-game models.
• The models must be textured, either in-game textures, or custom textures.
• You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
• To qualify for entry, you must post your models/skins in .mdx and .blp format, and an in-game screenshot of every model.
• You must post your entry before the deadline expires.
• You must make the models/textures for this competition. Which means that you cannot use old works.
• Keep the polycount quite low, as these are supposed to be useful attachments as a pack.

Prizes - The winner will receive +75 Reputation Points and a Special Award Icon.
Second place will receive +50 Reputation Points.
Third place will receive + 25 Reputation Points.

Sounds fun. I may join if I have enough time.

 

[rober artua]

I am in sure . I have already 2 models , which I made by my self . One is war claws and second is warhammer space marine helmet . By the way where I need to put them ?

 

[Deckboy]

I'm not really a modeler. . .but sure as heck will I be using all of the models! I was actually gonna request something like this. . .=D

 

[Xlightscreen]

Hey me and Sven would like to co-op together on are entry if that is allowed since we kinda both reley on each other from some aspect of the models. so would that be cool if we could or not? then we would just split the rep 50/50 if we won.

 

[Kimbo]

god dammit, why did this have to happen when i cant export using milkshape since it ended..gragh.. ill try to get max5 running and see what i can do.

 

[Bob27]

Yea I think i'll try and join this, they probably won't be any good though since i'll have to make them in Vertex Modifier.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Rober, you can't use models you have already made, they must me made new for this competition.

And Xlight, I don't think co-op teams will be allowed, it wouldn't be fair to others working alone, and the prize would be difficult to give. Sorry.

 

[Sven]

Deal me in.


Also, here is my first piece. I will be making a set of armor and weapon attachments based on this.

Update: Added shield piece, shoulders

Axe: 129 polygons. Total time: about 2 hours
Shield: 142 polygons. Total time: about 1 hour
Shoulders: 2x210 polygons. Total time: about 2 hours

 

[Kimbo]

Looking nice and clean sven, reminds me of the green glass set stuff from morrowind.

Here is mine so far, not textured yet (the render is ew.)

 

[Sansui]

Sven nice work.


looks nice Wulfy.




and mine! well some of mine.

 

[rober artua]

Rober, you can't use models you have already made, they must me made new for this competition.

And Xlight, I don't think co-op teams will be allowed, it wouldn't be fair to others working alone, and the prize would be difficult to give. Sorry.

I made them But I didnt post them anywhere , so what is the problem ?

 

[Kimbo]

sign*...

dont double post. do it again and ill warn you.(not sounding mean)
aura's arnt exactly attachments, they are more like effects IMHO.

But chriz means you cant bring in old ones, they must be made recently, after you heard of the comp, not before.

 

[rober artua]

Ok I ll delete my old models and make new space marine helmet , sure

 

[THE_END]

Sven very nice starting model for the item pack
Reminds me of a Blood Elf staff from Burning Crusade

 

[rober artua]

Ok here is my first attachment

 

[Sansui]

now i go to sleep. do another sword tomorrow.
Finish 5 shields 5 maces and hammers, 5 spears/staffs, 5 helms, and 5 miscs.

35 models... maybe ill move it to 6 each. 42 sounds nice.

YAY

 

[GoldenRam]

I wish I could join

 

[Mechanical Man]

When I saw the theme I had no interest in it. But I decided to show something anyway although it is not serious threat for others in this kompetishun. Here is my favourite weapon.

 

[MR. FJ]

is it against the rles to post a link to a crack of max9?

 

[Herio-san]

I would assume so seeing as its illegal and all...

 

[GoldenRam]

Ok here is my first attachment

Dawn of war helmet? Very erm... Yeah...

 

[GoldenRam]

It just seems a bit "too" much like the DoW helm... like maybe it was cut off the body... I dunno...

 

[Dionesiist]

Prepare for teh crap!
@Rober Artua: Helmet attachments are generally useless as Wc3 models have different sized heads
EDIT: Crap overdose anyone?

 

[rober artua]

It just seems a bit "too" much like the DoW helm... like maybe it was cut off the body... I dunno...

Thank u ! It is a very good complement to me , coz I really made this

 

[Sven]

Dio: Good use of ingame textures, but the models all seem very thin....

 

[Dionesiist]

Dio: Good use of ingame textures, but the models all seem very thin....

Thin? What does thin reffer to? The fact that they're just ugly primitives or what? (And no, I was not offended and not mad)

 

[Sven]

Well on pics 3 and 4, the alphaed textures make the blades seem hollow like shells or something.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well.... I might learn how to model and throw together some crap for your enjoyment xD We'll see

 

[Kimbo]

rober artua, that warhammer is helm isnt new.its..VERY old, i remember since you pmed me the file like...1-2 months ago...

 

[rober artua]

rober artua, that warhammer is helm isnt new.its..VERY old, i remember since you pmed me the file like...1-2 months ago...

Actually it wasnt ready then and it is not ready yet , few days ago I optimazed it coz it was about 1000 polys . So it can not be old because it is not ready yet .

P.S. doesnt work in wc3 yet !

 

[Sven]

But you started it BEFORE the competition, correct?

 

[rober artua]

But you started it BEFORE the competition, correct?

I deleted it and made low poly version few days ago , CORRECT ??!!

 

[SlickR]

I deleted it and made low poly version few days ago , CORRECT ??!!

give the guy a break. Basicly he needed to remake the models, like taking off polygons, finishing it, optimizing it and polishing it and it's not yet ready so i think it can be taken as a new model!

 

[Kimbo]

"You must make the models/textures for this competition. Which means that you cannot use old works."
You must make NEW,you cant edit old ones and make them look like new. Everyone *should* be starting from from scratch (unless they are a model-editor). Its just unfair to other people...
And Slickr, hes showing the model, he cannot enter that one, it is old., it doesnt matter if it isnt finished.

Correct me if im wrong fella.

 

[rober artua]

As I said I deleted the old model and made new one from 0 yesterday , so I dont understand what is the matter . And I am planning to make textures tommorow .

P.S. I think its unfair if u decide that it is an old . U dont have any facts !!!!
If I can not post my models , which I made by my self and spent lots of time on it , I wont take part in ur unfair competiton .

 

[PrinceofIce]

I believe you.They look great and i don't think you should quit.You have great potential and so far they look great personaly i would use them in a heartbeat there great.

 

[Kimbo]

I never accused, i suspected, there is a difference and i said correct me if so.

and its abit hard to figure out when you say this:

Actually it wasnt ready then and it is not ready yet , few days ago I optimized it coz it was about 1000 polys . So it can not be old because it is not ready yet .

then you said you deleted the old one..and my brain skips and it kinda caused confusion.

Anyway, still enter, i'm actually surprised there are so many entries already....i hope to see more and ill work on mine later, might add more stuff.

Im going for a barbarian spiky feel, spiky as in ragnaros spiky, and barbarian as in tauren/orc/dragonish kinda feel.

 

[Xlightscreen]

I might enter this...Didn't really wan't to do items...But I might throw in a set just for fun.

 

[Sansui]

update....

 

[Nefarian]

Are you gonna release the models after the competition?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Rober, Wulf is correct. But as long as you restarted this one from scratch for this competition, then it is acceptable.

Dio, I saw these on Wc3campaigns months ago, you can't enter them.

Impressive stuff all of you.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I'm entering this competition as well.

 

[PrinceofIce]

If illidan enters hes probably gonna win.I've seen his work and hes good.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Nice ones there Illidan. If I were you I'd use the texture from the goblin shredder's buzz-saw hand for that chainsaw blade. Would fit perfectly, and make it look very deadly. Will you give it a passive animation where it is constantly spinning?

First one:

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Hehe. Deadly enough?
And yes, the blade are constantly spinning.

 

[Kimbo]

wow, nice work illidan and very cool chriz.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Ah, can't believe I forgot to mention particles! Nice touch.

 

[Tool For Hire]

i...........MUST.........HAVE...........CHAIN SAW(awsome job)

 

[The guy who needs help]

Can i edit a model (marine) delete everything cept his armplates shoulderpads an d leg platesand weld a gun on them? Or do i have to start from scratch if i enter?
