Modeling Competition #10 - Elementals

[Just_Spectating]

Lol Famous. you should do more detailed textures.

 

[FamousPker49]

I am going to once I get more done. Lol. Gimme a break lol. Just a basic outline.

 

[Gausslander]

I'm surprised no one did a mountain elemental, like a giant island-like ancient creature that rolls on the ground, with palm trees on its back, and two giant clay hands. And it could make boulders with those hands, and toss them. Abilities would be hurl boulder, bash, etc.

A good idea, it would be nice if someone did it.

By the way, how do you guys take a wireframe-like Unwrap image from a model, so you can do the texture from a scratch, but based on the wrap? (I use 3dsmax 5)

 

[FamousPker49]

Moar texture and slight model workz.

 

[Hawkwing]

I can now see a 'body' forming.

 

[Just_Spectating]

haha.

btw

Golf club is huge
microwave is tiny
reminds me of the "Full of Stuff Giant" on that one commercial.

Here's another WIP of my model, the Element of Fear.

My plans to it are now unknown, it has 1508 polies so far, and I'm not adding much more...(Or is it okay?)
I wanted to add an animated texture to a flying messy hair, but I don't know if it would look cool. The tentacles will be black and yellow. I'm going to make particle effects on the tentacles to emmit this 'black tint' they exhale usually...
I'm having a huuuge problem to do a completely custom texture and make it wrap correctly, I mean, I can't guess the right resolution to each face. Is there a tool that link all the faces in a "wireframe" image, so I can do the texture correctly?

 

[Elenai]

A WIP...and yes..IT IS! an elemental.

 

[Dionesiist]

The idea behind it looks cool, mesh could be better.

 

[Elenai]

Final Mesh WIP: Proceeding to rigging, animating, and unwrap.

 

[Dionesiist]

A logical order would've been unwrapping, then rigging and animating, but suite yourself.

 

[Elenai]

Well...it wasn't in any specific order, just whatever came to mind first.

 

[HappyTauren]

Chest area of the mesh is just horrible, please fix it.

 

[Elenai]

its fine...it'll hardly be noticeable when textured.

 

[HappyTauren]

But you will never learn 2 topologize D:

An idea for Brutality Elemental

yes there is, its called Texporter

 

[TDR]

where the hell did you pile up 1500 polys in there man?! That thing should have around 600 at most by how it looks...

 

[Lestat(br)]

Thank you skrab...

About the polies...
I was really careful with that, I did it by box-modeling, and I thought it was going to be quite small, but when I saw the polycount I couldn't believe it. Even selecting only the meshes I was going to use. I did some booleans to do her boobz, booleans leave a looot of useless vertices, but I can't see any, I am now trying to solve this.

 

[AirHead]

An idea for Brutality Elemental

HOLY... or rather, UNHOLY!! thats awesome. if you follow the concept art as well as TDR than i will start replacing the abomination model, in all of my maps, with this!

 

[Just_Spectating]

is that the concept for those things in Halo?

 

[Hawkwing]

Hunters? I doubt it, they look a lot different. But the Arm-shield thing is similar.

 

[AirHead]

i think he means the flood infected hunters in halo 3, if so thats exactly what i was thinking. anyway it would be cool to have a model of it.

 

[Hawkwing]

I haven't played the Halo 3 single player, so I wouldn't know. Now, let's try not to go too far off-topic.

 

[donut3.5]

Guys, stop talking about what would be cool, the cool thing you discuss should be your model
--donut3.5--

 

[Lestat(br)]

Totally agree, I was waiting for a feedback, or a suggestion to solve my high poly problems, but the subject was lost in useless topics...
I still ask:

[Pyramidhe@d]

the tentacle seems to have a lot of polys. cant you just make them 3 sided cos it looks about 6 sided to me. it might help or it might not. just suggesting
mines 1480. does it really matter? as long as it is not obscenely large like 2 k +...

 

[skrab]

here is my WIP i made it last night

its some sort of lava (rock) golem
the parts where the edges are red there will be a liquid lava and fire particles bursts
hes going to have a small head on front and the fire and smoke will burst from the head to the spine...

 

[Mechanical Man]

where the hell did you pile up 1500 polys in there man?! That thing should have around 600 at most by how it looks...

Tentacles are at least 300, the head 200, each arm because fingers at least 100, ... Is pretty obvious that is 1000+

 

[Elenai]

Redid it

 

[Kyrbi0]

May just be the robes, but he looks much... stouter than he did previously.

What's your element again? Perhaps this is a more correct look for him, I dunno...

 

[Elenai]

He is shorter...and he is an Elemental of Light

 

[Kyrbi0]

Light?!

Looks more like a Lich to me; I'd say "Death" or "Corruption". Although I guess we'd have to see particles and stuff, will probably look better then.

 

[FamousPker49]

He looks fatter. He looked better taller and thinner.

 

[Elenai]

The finished mesh, for THIS version...>.>

 

[Kyrbi0]

Lol yeah, that scythe definitely makes me think "Holy Light". Yeah, can't believe I missed it the first few times.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Elenai, watch out for the ngons (look at the blade part of the scythe) as they can give some nasty results.

 

[Elenai]

ah my bad, fixed ^^

 

[Pyritie]

Some of the parts on his hat thing could be textured on instead of modeled on.

 

[Elenai]

And lose a crucial neat detail on the mask? BLASPHEMY!

 

[Lestat(br)]

This headdress looks perfect, but his scythe looks WAY too big.

 

[Dionesiist]

I'm in again just for kicks.

 

[Linaze]

Dionesisst, looks like a good start, a.... metal elemental?

 

[Dionesiist]

Doesn't red and evil-looking armour automatically suggest a fire elemental?

 

[Jaakko]

I definetly want to put that to my zombie map. You know it might be cool if it had a spin animation thing where it spins around and those chains could then do aoe damage. Or maybe that thing is too slow and heavy to spin around.

And this one looks awesome too. I'm guessing it will have those lizzard animations with also that swim animation?

 

[Pyritie]

And this one looks awesome too. I'm guessing it will have those lizzard animations with also that swim animation?

Scratch anims, of course.

 

[Dionesiist]

Final Submission

Oh my, I dropped out and later did a new model and I'm second to submit his entry?
Anyway, here's the model, fit with fire particles. Path is: "Shit.blp"

 

[frostwhisper]

It's pretty awesome actually.
