Modeling Competition #10 - Elementals

[Just_Spectating]

So far this thing doesn't look like an elemental at all
--donut3.5--

still true.

 

[SuPa-]

Donut, I've changed it to where the bottom parts of his legs are going to be that dark color with green, glowing cracks going up them, as well as runes going the rest of the way up his legs

 

[donut3.5]

Alright.. just make sure it looks more elementally than lizardy in the end, or else I'll have to request you modify to fit the theme.
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

This looking better?
And like I said, the bottom of the legs will be all cracks and such, as well as have particles. There will also be particles on the eyes and tentacles

 

[Mr.Goblin]

dude .. your just insane ...

 

[frostwhisper]

Looks pretty good.

 

[donut3.5]

It is getting better.. you said poison elemental, right? I'll see what you do with the particles.
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

donut, here's a quick paint-over of what the particles will be like

 

[donut3.5]

That looks pretty good.. Ooh, an animated texture might look nice on the horns or something
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

The green things on his head are tentacles. And I don't know how to make animated textures D:

 

[donut3.5]

Alright. I will say I'm being quite lenient here, just try and make it as poisonous as possible.
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

Just because my model doesn't float, pfft. If it stood upright and had no lower body and instead just spurted particles from the bottom, it'd be perfectly fine
But thanks

 

[FamousPker49]

My first scratch model, beware the shittyness of my JUNK ELEMENTAL. Moar junk to come!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

this is totally random ... Make Walle! and call it a Metal element! dude .. sometimes i feel like this contest is bullshit..

 

[FamousPker49]

Oh no, it will be composed of an oven, muffler golf club, wheel, some piping, a microwave, some gears, a rim, and a croquet mallet! I have it planned out.

 

[TDR]

supa, you make me want to quit...or change my model...a chunk of meat with chains attached to it vs. a badass lizard-like elemental...so yeah, back to the drawing board.

 

[frostwhisper]

No, wait, don't! Damnit.

 

[SuPa-]

TDR, no! Your model is awesome, dude
And if you do change concepts and model, at least finish the pain elemental

Oh, and top view

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i think your pain element was a great idea. the chain and the floating foot and the mask, all of it fit the character you are creating perfectly. for a "chunk of meat with chains attached to it", it is really cool.
(although my opinion may be bias since i am attracted to all things grotesque)

 

[Kyrbi0]

Holy cow, that Lizard-elemental thing is freakin' awexome. I mean, not saying anything that hasn't been said, but WOW! You seem to be a pretty accomplished modeller, Supa!

And TDR, don't give up! Your amazingly-intuitive entry just makes things all the more interesting! It'll be a big showdown; Pain Guy vs. Baron von Poison!

 

[TDR]

hehe, ok then...I guess I'll just have to rely on some badass animations. Yet if I won't succeed, I will make another model...or not...depends on my mood.

 

[HappyTauren]

Remember TDR, supa's animations will suck, so blow him with IK

 

[Callahan]

Cool model Supa.
Although you made his rear legs thiner than his front legs again.

 

[Dionesiist]

Remember TDR, supa's animations will suck, so blow him with IK

Qft.

 

[SuPa-]

Depends... does IK tools work with Max 9? XD
Then again I don't know how to use IK anyway...

 

[Dionesiist]

I'm dropping out, not that my model generated any interest anyway, because even the second rig was bad enough to make me /wrist.

 

[SuPa-]

Remember TDR, supa's animations will suck, so blow him with IK

Qft.

 

[TDR]

Dio, I could rig it for you if you want (or if it's allowed).
Oh and there's a high chance that my animations will suck too, it's been a long time since I animated anything

 

[SuPa-]

TDR, nah, I offered to rig it for him as well D: He denied

 

[Lestat(br)]

Im gonna use tentacles at my entry... (fear elemental)
Is there a way to use IK to animate it? It's hard to animate those tentacles with no IK chain.
If not, is there a way to convert the IK bones in a way to act each one alone?

 

[Dionesiist]

Dio, I could rig it for you if you want (or if it's allowed).
Oh and there's a high chance that my animations will suck too, it's been a long time since I animated anything

You have experience in rigging models with more polies than wc3 standards?

 

[TDR]

You have experience in rigging models with more polies than wc3 standards?

...what do you think?!

And here's my first stand animation:

In the second stand I plan on making him stab himself.

@Lestat(br): Spline IK. Look into it.

 

[Kwaliti]

Fucking awesome! D:

 

[donut3.5]

Damn those chains have smooth animations.
Very well done.
--donut3.5--

 

[Gausslander]

I think the death animation should be slow, like that of the revenant. Maybe blood could start pouring out of his mouth, and he could stab himself with his claws and sword hand, ripping himself in half and displacing a massive amount of blood. His feet could become bone and fade away into the ground, the spines on his back could suck back into his body and blood would shoot like that of a fountain's spray, adding to the puddle of blood. Then, basically he would just be a puddle of ominous blood, and then the blood would slowly fade away. That would be 1337.

 

[TDR]

holy shit, that's intense Scyth-Master...
Though I don't think of making him stab himself during death, because pain only makes him stronger. You have to kill him by other means :O. You must cure him in order to kill him.
Maybe I could actually make like his pain goes away and then poof, he's fucked up.

donut...where the heck's that from :O...I fail...

 

[donut3.5]

And TDR, that was something I made, supposed to be posted in the Olympics thread, but I superfail.
--donut3.5--

 

[TDR]

oh, I thought it was something from another game or something

 

[SuPa-]

Looks nice, TDR, but the animation is a little jerky on the loop

 

[TDR]

that's because the first frame = the last frame. I'll fix it though.

 

[Lestat(br)]

This is a very early WIP and my plans to finish it. But this is not definitive, I will probably change it.

 

[Just_Spectating]

TDR, death animation should be,

His (torture) helmet falls off. body parts fall to the ground, and Boom, soul comes out but goes to hell XD

 

[Lestat(br)]

I just have a question...
Would a 'Fear Elemental' be a valid entry for this contest?
I think that, if a pain (feeling) elemental is valid, a fear one should be as well.

 

[donut3.5]

The idea sounds fine, the execution is what matters.
--donut3.5--

 

[Just_Spectating]

the Element of fear.

the Element of Pain

the Element of Laughter

the Element of Anger

the Element of Laziness

the Element of Sadness


these would all be acceptable.

think.. Pokemon..

 

[Masiah]

TDR Wow that is strong indeed... Excellent for some kind of zombie survival map!

 

[AirHead]

all look epic so far but TDR what about the large amount of blood where his legs would be? well i don't know how you model so i guess i should shut up before i feel stuped about when you put in particles. well mine is coming along pretty well but this is the first time i've done a walk animation and it is SO HARD to get it right the first time. the rest is comeing along good though. he still doesn't bubble yet or make burn craters in the ground when he steps, although when he dies he turns into a gas and dispurses xD it's pretty awesome. i am also having trouble with the texture, it works in magos' ME and WC3Viewer but not in WC3, the appears in the WE but just full team color no texture but not in WC3 at all.

EDIT: oh yeah and yesterday my power just came back on! i live in south louisiana you see and huricane Gustav just hit me and so my power has been out for 6 days and my internet got on today. (Cox my ISP just got up and running again)

EDIT: Lestat(br), reminds me a lot of Midna from The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

 

[Oziris]

I think that is a fire elemental anyway they are all good!

 

[FamousPker49]

Here is the third edition of my Junk Elemental, I will be starting to connect everything together and still have some left to add. I might switch my idea to a blade elemental....

 

[Lestat(br)]

Looks cool, I'm hoping it has funny animations.

How do you take an Unwrap image from a model, so you can do the texture from a scratch? (I use 3dsmax 5)
