Modeling Competition #2 - Creep Hero

[Deleted member 126647]

Modeling Competition #2

Deadline: 30th of April 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 Creep Hero. Let me explain:

There are plenty of diverse creep races, as we know. Your goal would be to create a cooler, badder, meaner, and just plain more awesome unit for that race, and produce it in hero form. Also, try to be creative, not just plop some big armor on a troll and say "LOL TROLL HERO."

Models would require, of course:

• Hero Glows
• Dissipate animation
• Proper portrait camera
• All standard animations (Stand, Stand Ready, Walk, Death, Attack)
• Spell animations of course being a nice touch to the hero idea, but not necessary.
• Must be for a creep race featured in Warcraft III, not one you made up, or taken from DnD or WoW.
• Not taken from a main race (ie. Human, Orc, Undead, Night Elf) Though, can be from one of the sub-races, such as Dwarf, Nerubian, Tauren etc.

No, this does not require you to scratch animate your model (though that would be nice too.) Proper animation transferring can be a lifesaver. Geomerging is also allowed, but try to be creative as I said before. And try not to all take the same race, try even more difficult races, such as Faceless Ones or Magnataurs.

Rules and Guidelines:

• Follow requirements above.
• You may only enter one submission.
• You have to make sure the model is fully and correctly functional in-game.
• The model must be textured, either in-game textures, or custom textures. If custom, made by yourself.
• You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
• To qualify for entry, you must post your model/skin in .mdx and .blp format, and an in-game screenshot of the model.
• You must post your entry before the deadline expires.
• You must make the model/texture for this competition. Which means that you cannot use old works.
• Keep the polycount under 1200.

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.

Chriz YOU OWNJ!

 

[General Frank]

Do pandaren count as a creep race ?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Yes, of course.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I think I want to do something with BansheeGhost.mdx, but I'm damned if I know what.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Humans would go? Because in warcraft are some human bandits and mages as creeps.

 

[Dionesiist]

I think I'll edit a model, since I won't bother scratch-modelling Blizzard's ideas and I wouldn't be able to rig it Sooo, yeah, model edit Can the reward be given on Wc3c? I so fucking want my rep back T-T

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Humans would go? Because in warcraft are some human bandits and mages as creeps.

In that sense, would have to be a bandit-type hero.

And Di, no, the award will be exclusive for the Hive.

 

[Dionesiist]

But it was unfair of Vex to murder our rep :"(

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

It's going to involve the Paladin, because his skeletal structure is beautiful.

 

[camel's_hump]

So this means that if I scratch modelled something for this I would also have to skin and animate it? That's a lot of work to do.

 

[TDR]

eeeeeeek, warcraft race, nooo!.....heh, whatever I'm in. I want to practice some simple animation.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I'm going to use in-game textures for mine.

Good to see you joining TDR, will be nice to see your work here.

 

[Jaakko]

Do pandaren count as a creep race ?

Yes, of course.

Yeah, go Pandas!

Also I would like a bandit hero.

 

[Kam]

I would suggest one change to the guidelines: that you not separate the model into a portrait and a regular model. This is to accommodate the mdx squisher, as it breaks the model when it is in more than one mdx file.

 

[Moloch]

nice Competition idea, gogo someone make a Forrest Troll Hero

 

[Jaakko]

nice Competition idea, gogo someone make a Forrest Troll Hero

That would be nice too.

 

[TDR]

I suppose elementals go in the creep category too, right? I mean I know there's this lava-like hero that you can buy from a tavern or something and he looked pretty elemental to me.

 

[Moloch]

in the Dalaran Creep section are some Water elementals

 

[Skeloman]

lol i wish i could join, but the last time i tried to model a sword i got a headahce... and a very interesting squiggle on my computer... but where will the entrys be posted?

 

[General Frank]

Burning Legion will come... for my model of course.

 

[Pyritie]

Oh dang it! I have no idea what to do...

I'll probably just whip up something using magos' thingy, since I can't even make a cube anywhere else, or even know how to make a single animation...

Do critters count as creeps?

 

[Callahan]

Can we use a death animation that alrdy dissipate the hero (like lich,dreadlord,warlock) or we have to make a dissipate animation even if it's a dummy?

 

[camel's_hump]

Started on my entry, 222 polies so far.

 

[HappyTauren]

whats it gonna be? and good thing u enabled geomerging, some work for us n00bs like me

 

[Piranha]

it's going to be a furbolg right?

 

[camel's_hump]

Yes, it's going to be a furbolg.

 

[Dionesiist]

Can we bet Camel's will be the only contestant? I can't rig and probably can't ask someone else to, so I'm kind of out

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

yes you can rig. its easy as hell. Get gmax, looks at the tutorial on thehelper.net.

The entries will be posted in this thread.

A critter Hero? Needs attacks and all the proper animations still.

Can we use a death animation that alrdy dissipate the hero (like lich,dreadlord,warlock) or we have to make a dissipate animation even if it's a dummy?

it should be fitting to the theme of the model. Not a troll being dissipated by flying purple spirits.

I suppose elementals go in the creep category too, right? I mean I know there's this lava-like hero that you can buy from a tavern or something and he looked pretty elemental to me.

Yes.


Nice furbolg hump.

 

[Archian]

I will be looking forward to see the end results of this competition Hope to see many entries folks, as I cannot participate myself

 

[Xlightscreen]

ehh I was hoping for a second you could make your own creep race oww well.

 

[Jaakko]

@camel's_hump Yeah go Furbolgs! I hope you will make it a strength warrior. I really need that kind of model and I look forward to your progress. I hope you can do your best, because I will most likely use this. This competition is very good. I think I will find use to most of your models.

 

[Cavman]

I think I might try out, scince It dosn't have to be completly from scratch, so I don't have to animate organic animations.

 

[Radagast]

okey.. my first Contest

here it comes. its a dwarf..

 

[Dionesiist]

For god's sake, give him an open helmet, not one that covers his nose... if it were like that, it would hide the moustache, so.

 

[The guy who needs help]

im in for sure
im gonna do something like a male banshee

 

[Jaakko]

im in for sure
im gonna do something like a male banshee

A nice idea.

 

[Fulla]

Similiar to that Ghost Necro?

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

skeleton king

he'll hopefully hve the BloodMage anims in the end....

well, its not good, but i guess good enough... c&c plz

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Skeleton Lord

he'll hopefully hve the BloodMage anims in the end....

well, its not good, but i guess good enough... c&c plz

Nice.
I'm making a skeleton hero too

 

[Dionesiist]

You are, but please finish! Many start stuff and say they'll finish, yet they don't

 

[TDR]

morph...is that really you? I'm sorry but the quality of what you made there seems way under your capabilities.

 

[Callahan]

i thought undead were forbidden.

 

[Kitabatake]

[*]Not taken from a main race (ie. Human, Orc, Undead, Night Elf) Though, can be from one of the sub-races, such as Dwarf, Nerubian, Tauren etc.

I think skeletons aren't really a sub-race to undead. They are quite pure undead, but they can also be seen as creeps, so I guess they're all allowed.

I might join the competition if I have enough spare time...

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

morph...is that really you? I'm sorry but the quality of what you made there seems way under your capabilities.

that bad? oi, i actually like it a bit.... it's still WIP, that is... some suggestions?

btw, UPDATE!

 

[TDR]

well let's just say I saw way better stuff made by you.

 

[Bookskill]

aww i want to make a model but i cant model cause i dont have any modeling tools...... tht r free.....

 

[HappyTauren]
