Modeling Competition #2 - Creep Hero

[Dionesiist]

Hmm, it looks kinda' funny, dunno :/
Morpheus, the chest area on your skeleton is messy :|

 

[TDR]

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

and who cares about that? you're just spamming.
I'll make a concept now, will post it soon.

 

[Dionesiist]

www.oinkerwinkle.com maybe? Anyway, gogo TDR \o/!

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

tdr, instead of just saying that the model isnt as nice as much other work i have done (i never released a unit so far) could you tell me whats wrong? i mean thats why i am competing here...

 

[TDR]

Well, it looks very simple and plain to me. I mean it's just a skeleton with a cape so far, it's kinda insignificant for a hero if you ask me. But I don't know what you'll be doing next, maybe you'll add some effects on it or some sort of weapon, making him stand out you know.
As a technical aspect, I don't like that pelvis, it doesn't really have the right volume. But that's my opinion.

Here's a quick sketch I made just to have as a rough reference. It's some sort of efreet.

 

[SuPa-]

morpheus ur model looks a little blocky like a lego skeleton, mainly the hips

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

uh, the hips.. yeah i orientated myself on the already existing wc3 skeleton there as the exact moddeling of the bones there would have been too many polys.
i think the chest is ok, i'll let it that way!
another update...

andsure, it will have some effects, i dunno how to make them yet, but it will!

 

[camel's_hump]

His shoulder pads look ridiculous, make them smaller, and don't have them stick off to the sides so much.

 

[Piranha]

The skeleton's head texture don't fit the chest's one....

 

[brad.dude03]

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

uh, dude, it's called Gmax. Look into it.

I can't WAIT to see the final submissions, they will be really awesome, and a really good idea for the competition too

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

i know, but it fits the head...
does anybody know how to merge this with the anims of the Bloodmage?

@camls: i already made them smaller...

@piranha: i'm trying to make it yellowish with tinting colour...

 

[TDR]

does anybody know how to merge this with the anims of the Bloodmage?

I think you could use prophet's new importer script and delete everything but the bones and attach your mesh to the bones. I think it could work.

 

[camel's_hump]

@camel's: i already made them smaller...

Do you mean that you shrunk them since you took that picture? If not, who cares if you've made them smaller once, that is irrelevant. Make them smaller again.

 

[TDR]

here's my early wip

 

[Cokemonkey11]

damn i thought this was a world edit contest (spells etc) im only a beginner modeler... =/ Perhaps next time.

People need to stop making posts like these, these are completely useless posts. The thread should be cleaned of all posts like these.

 

[brad.dude03]

I agree, this thread is for people to showcase their work and ask questions relevant to their contest entry. Everybody else needs to piss off >.>

 

[Deleted member 126647]

For the record, skeletons are allowed, since there are a lot of skeletons in the Warcraft world.

Looking really neat TDR. If you can make it match the concept, I'm really going to need to bug you for some modeling lessons.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

very early WIP. its going to be a goblin pyrotechnic.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

update, so far it doesn't look much like a goblin pyrotechnic...

 

[Gauntlet2021]

The goblin looks a bit odd to me as it is...seems a bit tall, but that just me.
As for Illidans, I like it but maybe make the hero glow affect the weapon aswell.

 

[Callahan]

I can only geomerge so i'll probably be beaten anyway here is my wip:
The trutle fisherman
Some feature:
-It use GiantSeaTurtleDeath sound
-Deepfootstep on walk anim
-ClovenLarge as footprint.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Invalid attachment.

 

[Callahan]

ok i've fixed it thx.

 

[Dionesiist]

Make the body the same colour as his head/feet please

 

[Callahan]

Ther's no proper ingame textures for that and it's a hero so it suppose to wear clothes and not a primitive nude creep.
So it wear some sort of diving suit to fish.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I like the idea, but yes, it needs a different texture for the body, that grey looks too out of place.

Perhaps the thunder lizard has something useful, or one of the orc models.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Here's a WIP preview (xD) to get you lot off my back so I can work properly.

So far, I call him 'Faceless Two' as a hilaaaaaaarious pun. I know, I said I wanted to do something with BansheeGhost.mdx, but the geometry turned out to be too poo to use.

So far, not many changes on the actual model, working on squidging his general outline into the Paladin's skeletal structure for later grafting.

The goal here is not necessarily to create something exciting, new and/or interesting, but to create an efficient, logical, effective and practial hero for in-game use.

 

[Dionesiist]

Umm, yeah... pretty good I suppose...

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

If you squint, you can just about see the bones he's being rigged to.

 

[Dionesiist]

Teach me how to rig, please?

 

[Callahan]

I've made the portrait.
I'm sorry to all of you who dislike his diving suit but i don't plane to change it.he is supposed to be an evolved being so he don't live entirely nude.
Btw can you tell me if i have to do some manipulation to link the portrait to the unit model or i just have to name it xxx_portrait.mdx and it's will be linked automatly?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Teach me how to rig, please?

Do you own a legal copy of Milkshape? *smiles sweetly*

Btw can you tell me if i have to do some manipulation to link he portrait to the unit model or i just have to name it xxx_portrait.mdx and it's will be linked automatly?

Aye, it's all in the paths. Bacon\Model.mdx and Bacon\Model_Portrait.mdx.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

The Skeleton Lord just got pwned..

 

[DwarfZealot]

Here is my dwarf engineer. Kinda lame I know but i am new to this. now to add a portrait.

 

[camel's_hump]

I don't think the furbolg animations are very good for that model because of how fast they are, and how not fast turtles are although there aren't any slow animations besides the ancients, but maybe try those if they work?

 

[Fulla]

Looking awesome so far

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I reiterate - the paladin's skeletal structure is beautiful.

Had this man successfully squidged and rigged in a good half hour or so.

Still in the process of beefing/appending extras, then got to twiddle the animation effects and add some choice emitters.

Don't really intend to win, just bulking out the entries for a larf. Callahan's deffo going to snatch it (in my eyes) so far.

And yes, you bastards, that is hero glow and team colour.

 

[Fulla]

Is that meant to be a turtle Hero?
I agree with RDZ, its got a good chance of stealing the spotlight.

 

[Sansui]

eh, not much done yet. But I will try to finish this time i Have a ll more free time and i do have till april 30th...
ill post a wire shot sometime im just too lazy to do the render
yaya my polies are a bit higher than i want atm...

 

[Radagast]

I Love It Sansui!!!

 

[Cba81]

Whatsit going to be?

Looks kinda like a Orc Peon with a pet Pigbear thing lol.

looks interesting and really detailed can't wait for a skin

 

[Radagast]

ok IM not gonna use my dwarf "hero"

im gonna use this penquin hero

uh and i added a crown

 

[TDR]

skull wip...

 

[Dionesiist]

Ahem, won't your model be kinda' high poly?

 

[TDR]

ahem, isn't 1200 the limit?
the polyconut in the skull pic is overall, not just the skull.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Rules and Guidelines:

• Keep the polycount under 1200.

TDR is correct. But I assume Di misunderstood the polycount in the picture.

 

[Dionesiist]

Do you own a legal copy of Milkshape? *smiles sweetly*

As a matter of fact, I do

 

[TDR]

almost there...

 

[Cba81]

That looks flippin sweet TDR keep up the good work its starting to take shape
