[Pyritie]

[Kiun]

GUYS POST IMAGES OF UR CITADELS!!!!

 

[Katu]

C'mon TDR, where is your uber-pwnage floating citadel? I want to see

 

[TheSecretArts]

well, the modeling part on mine is done, now i get to texture, animate, merge several hundred goesets, and write geoset anims

 

[TDR]

yeah, well I won't be able to make anything for this challenge. I'm way too busy and exam month is coming in june so I'll be back in the next challenge or maybe the one after the next one.

In the mean time, good luck to everyone and where's my little award icon?

That's sad to hear. One of the few reasons why I joined this challenge was that I hoped that your entry may inspire me.

I made it and sent it to Archian a while ago, waiting on an admin to give it to you.

 

[TheSecretArts]

ok, textureing on the keep is almost all done, team color on keep and texturing the castle is all that is left for me to do in GMAX, cause i added the camera.

 

[Pyritie]

Whatever happened to Werewulf's model? Is it done?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Last I checked it only need a little geoset animation tweaking.

 

[Kimbo]

I had all the anims done but the anim bar was too ..squished so i had to delete the anims (save the old ones of course) make the rest then save as diff, then i tried to anim transfer..but it didnt work..so the turtle is my enemy.

 

[Katu]

This is where I am now, texturing is a pain in the ass for me. It doesn't even have bones. I don't know when I'll finish.

EDIT: Of course I hided untextured meshes. There are some unmapped faces (for example the stairs) on the textured meshes. The roof is all red because I still have to find a good roof texture for it. It's importan because I'll use only the roof for team color.

 

[TheSecretArts]

update time, also attaching the building timeline.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Two days until deadline, but if I only get one, or no entries, I'll extend the deadline. Only once though.

 

[Jaakko]

This is not looking good... No entries before deadline? And where is that Goblin Airship?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Too much homework and prior commitments.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

School year is ending soon and exams are coming close.

Its normal people don't have as much time to finish. Next contest should be after school year.

 

[TheSecretArts]

ugh, attachment problems, no way i can finish in two days (prolly)

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Keep working. If that's the case, it'll just be extended anyway.

 

[Celestea]

I made a High Elven citadel on its early stage, go check at wc3c

-Tessarrr

 

[Jaakko]

Too much homework and prior commitments.

Do you think you could do it later? I really waited to see this.

And Celestea wc3campaigns isn't working.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I don't know if I'll be able to finish it in time, but.. meh

 

[Deleted member 126647]

One week from the original deadline. New deadline is then Monday June 11th.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Yay! Then I'll be able to actually finish this thing!

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Wow, thats an awesom model!

 

[Pyritie]

Heehee June 11th is my birthday ^_^

 

[TheSecretArts]

Id post my wip but the its a bmp and the dimensions are too big, nvm fixed!

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Looking cool Illidan.

Nobody appreciates my photoshop skills on that objection picture.... T_T : P

EDIT: Also impressive, SecretArts

 

[Chaos Overlord]

I have a question: Whenever Illidan models and shows pics, they look they are made out of clay. Is that how it looks while he is making it, or does he do something to it to make it look that way?

lol Secret I thought you had put a skull on your castle (it looks that way until you actually clck the picture.)

 

[Deleted member 126647]

It's called a render.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

You cant do that in GMAX right?

BTW, here's a wip of a goblin "citadel"... I might add a nuclear silo with missile, depends on my mood.

 

[SuPa-]

very nice textures on that model! gj so far

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Those are ingame textures, BTW. Don't start thinking I made those.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

No, you can't render in GMax.

I might add a nuclear silo with missile

lol.
Goblins started to produce nuclear missiles now?

 

[SuPa-]

oOoOoOoO nice
Goblins have always known how to produce nuclear missiles
It's there diabolical conspiracy secret that no ones knows about
How do I know, then?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

lol.
Goblins started to produce nuclear missiles now?

In my mind, yes.

Actually, I have a nice idea on a nuke missile. The roof on the circular room thingy will raise and a missile will come out... Either that, or I make an underground silo and a giant missile comes out.

Oh, and when this thing dies, it will explode like a nuke would.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Nice use of textures both of you!

Keep up the hard work guys, we may still have a competition yet!

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Oh, and when this thing dies, it will explode like a nuke would.

Blowing up the entire map?

 

[Jaakko]

Wil I like the goblin citadel so far. Don't make it too Starcraft. A missile silo would be fun.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol WILL your middle thing looks like a power plant from command and conquer dawn. I like the idea of teh giant missle coming out of the ground.. that would be fun. I don't know how oyu would do it, but maybe have the middle thing split in half and a missle come out between the two sides?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Thats a little too much.

I'm having trouble rearanging different parts... I might remove a few and redo some other sections.

 

[TDR]

Illidan's model rocks.

 

[TheSecretArts]

Yea, it does, well from now on, my texturing sucks because my photoshop trial just expired and now I cant use photoshop and the gimp sucks... realy bad, i nearly threw my computer because gimp textures werent converting right.
Fun Fact: If you look at my taskbar in my latest screenshots (not the townhall), youll notice that starcraft is open. lol, jus pointing something pointless out!
Edit: Well, i merged the meshes, now i have a mesh for each part, plus a team color mesh for each one seperate
What Programs can u render with?
I get an A for recreating Warcraft 2, but an F for creativity

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Use in game textures like Illidan, I'm sure there are more tan enough to choose from that would suit your models.

 

[Pyritie]

Phoenix Wrong?

Ooo, and will, I could really use a nuke silo for me campaign.

Don't ask why. You don't wanna know.

 

[TheSecretArts]

Use in game textures like Illidan, I'm sure there are more tan enough to choose from that would suit your models.

I have to merge peicees of textures together so i can use merged meshes, and gimp sux so bad, i cant transfer the alpha layers w/o problems...
im sure you already know that, but, GIMP just pisses my off so much.
Hey illidan, cant wait to see the other stages

Woah, Gimp does not suck... I never have problems like these, and I am sure it can be fixed.

And you don't use layers in GIMP... you just alpha out stuff. GMAX doesn't show alpha BTW... Well, unless you change a certain parameter, which I have no idea where it is. You can change the material filter later in the model editor.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Don't ask why. You don't wanna know.

Is it because you have a Nuclear Missle Silo building and now need a model ? Also, I was just brainstorming WILL, trying to get ideas out for how the missle will work, becuase it definately needs a missle.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Make it a rickety wooden firework-styled missile.

The death animation could be that it launches, but then stops midair and drops onto the building itself, and *SPLODE*.

Abit like that falling rocket that barely got off the ground in that smosh "easy step" video.

Very nice idea. I am totally stealing it.
