Modeling Competition #10 - Elementals

[SeRviLy]

i agree with Will on his last post.
Now lets see some more Elementals!

**** that definition. We don't go by definition. This is fantasy stuff, not science. Shit is not an element. A ROBOT CANNOT BE AN ELEMENTAL.

If we'd actually go by that this'd be the "Make whatever the fuck you want" competition, not the "Elemental-themed competition".

thats what i said.

I never said a robot was an elemental In fact, I wouldn't consider a robot one.
Why? A robot is made up of gears, metal, fuel, etc., whatever, which isn't just one thing.
The idea is to stick to one basic component, and the things closely associated with it, and make a creature out of it.
Sticking to only 6 elements would get very boring, the idea is to branch out of what a person would normally think "elemental".
If you don't like it, you don't have to participate, however I like your model immensely.

omg crap may not be an element but niehter is water, hydrogen is one, oxygen is an element, but not water, much less water with iron in it like what we commonly use so a crao elemental is just as much an elemental as a water elemental and a dirt rock or nature elemental fire is the only exception because its an energy so if you want to be technical then you are wrong and generaly you are wrong. just make you're elemental and hope that everyone in the contest is a good sport.

well put

 

[FamousPker49]

I may try and enter, I have been dinking around with SuPas favorite tool.

 

[Just_Spectating]

The Element. oF Surprise!

 

[FamousPker49]

How'd you know my idea?!?

But I will probably need to get sum moar practice.

 

[Hawkwing]

The Element. oF Surprise!

Oh, you've heard of him too?

 

[Xatoga]

More progress on mine. Couldn't find a decent arcane-looking ingame texture, so he ended up becoming a voidwalker, aka shadow/nether elemental. Gotta give him a portrait and then I think I'm done.

 

[Hawkwing]

I was going to do something like that, originally. But I changed my idea.

 

[TDR]

Xatoga, that looks really awesome!
I'm still going to make a pain elemental though. I almost finished the concept, I'll post it soon, you'll se that he's made out of pain....and brings you pain.

 

[Callahan]

I've made a model but i won't show pic cause it's against the rules and stupid...

 

[SuPa-]

Looks nice, Xatoga

OMG L0W POLIEZ!!!!

 

[TDR]

omg wtf's with that face?! It could use some simplification.

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah, I thought so D: (thanks)
I guess I'll do that now

K, reduced it a little, it's now 986 polys (updated last picture)
I'll model accessories, UV Map it, and start the texture on it later today

 

[Callahan]

It's a shit elemental summoned by skatomancer.
I don't know if it's against the rules though.

 

[frostwhisper]

Excuse me as I roll on the floor laughing.

 

[AirHead]

hahahahaha, thats awesomely hilarious. anyway gj to all so far they are coming out great i think im a slow modeler (or at least from scratch) because i am still working. and so nobody takes my idea mine is the Mud Elemental of the Swamp so be ready and yes dirt is an elemental thing and water is an elemental thing (acording to Blizzard hehhe)

 

[LiOneSS]

it is said before it is against the rules sorry =( looks awesome though xD i'd love to see it winning xD

 

[Callahan]

Damn...No way!The shit elemental is stronger than rules!

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Considering you're taking in elementals of "nature", shit is perfectly acceptable.

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Here's a new wip of the Ice elemental

It looks like the Inferno in the concept, but when animated you'll see it has nothing to do with it

It just need "legs" and the overall shape of the mesh is done. Got to improve the polies, then UW mapping etc...

 

[AirHead]

nice, its really cool and icy looking. well here is my first WIP its un-textured and is just the basic mesh. no hands yet. he is mainly made of mud but has a large algae and fungus mat on his back.

 

[TDR]

OMG It's Mr. Hankey!!!!!!! (@Callahan)

 

[Callahan]

@RDZ : Yep true.Anyway I'm was more worried about the rule 'no offense material'.
@TDR : Now I know what it was remembering me.

I've plenty of idea for the animation.
to start the birth anim :the poo pop out painfully from the arse hole and roar.

 

[LiOneSS]

*ahem*

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Xatoga's looks awesome. Very nice work.

As for Callahan... whoever didn't see that one coming from miles away is blind.

@Lioness: Well, I'm not really the authority here, we'd have to ask the modelling compo starter or something like that if the entry is legit.

 

[TDR]

Here's my idea for a freakin elemental. Pain Elemental:

 

[AirHead]

... ouch, nice nails in the feat

 

[Dionesiist]

I love you. Now model it!

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Hmm, I should do a "metal" elemental that is basically a robot. Mmm, rule-fudging.

Elementals are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The rest of you are faggots.

 

[Dionesiist]

I'm virtually committing suicide by making the model this way, since I probably wont be able to rig it in all it's complexity. But, whatever.
Yes, I got so pissed over some max glitches that I Shift+Del'd the first model.

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Here's a little update.

The mesh is almost done, it just need some plans to make special effects. But i'm working under 3dsmax9 cause i'm on my laptop. I'll import it into 3ds5 when i'm done with the texture.

It has 552 polies so far (adding about 30 for the plans)

 

[Hawkwing]

I was actually going to do something almost exactly like that. But now I'm doing more of a Rock/Mineral Elemental.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

lol poor Hawkwing.. you changed idea how many times .. like 5 times?

 

[Hawkwing]

No, once.

 

[Pyritie]

Looks nice, Xatoga

OMG L0W POLIEZ!!!!

How'd ya do that? D:

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Burning_Dragoon5's looks the business. I worry that WC3 is full of rubbish when it comes to icy textures, though.

 

[SuPa-]

Pyritie, magikz.
(Look up ZBrush retopology on youtube)
Bah, looks like I won't be able to model the rest of the stuff yet. My brother is using my work computer for his stupid MMORPG -_-

 

[Hawkwing]

Slap him for me, will you?

 

[Xatoga]

TDR, that guy is a masochist's best friend. Lol. Really liking the ice elemental, I'm sure you could rip the texture from some of the Northrend Doodads. Not so sure what yours is Dionesiist, did you post a concept or something earlier so I can figure out it's weird folds?

Oh, and Callahan: Make some big hands during the birth animation. YOU MUST WORK IN GOATSE!!!

 

[SeRviLy]

please no, don't encourage goatse -.- lol

 

[AirHead]

ok, so i got another WIP the mesh is basically the same but i added a very, very basic version of the texture so you can see what it will look like kinda and i added the stubs that it will use for hands. brown is mud green is algae except on the mushroom.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

If I could have finished mine it really would have been more elemental like, not a robot. You would have had to seen my texture and particle emitter ideas, but it will not be finished now.

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, I've finally got some inspiration and started up my model. I'm going for that 'Firelord' version of the Earth Elemental. I still need to add the head, arms, hands, particles, ribbons, bones, and animations.

 

[Ebrik Elitel]

This is my WIP. it's a Dwarf Elemental! It's the cooliest Elemental of them all!!!



P.S. I'm joking.

 

[Hawkwing]

A Dwarf Elemental? You're kidding right?

On the upside, the model is nice.

 

[donut3.5]

[Hawkwing]

Sorry, got confused. That's what I get for multi tasking.

 

[Xatoga]

Technically, an Earthen would count, I suppose.
