Modeling Competition #5 - Neutral Structure

[Elenai]

The town hall had quite a few polies.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I think computers nowadays can stand a few more polies, mkay?

 

[HappyTauren]

Computers do, but wc3? Also higher poly = takes more memory etc...

 

[Mechanical Man]

Human barracks has 1600 polies.

 

[Elenai]

Yes a little more poly count wont kill the WE or the map, now if its a rediculous amount of polies in useless places and a Doom3's bucket of graphics and other such things NOW THAT would be way too far. All and all I think that for a building higher polies than normal, (not over doing it) would be fine. same goes for units, a small to medium margin of more polies wont hurt us.

 

[HappyTauren]

human barracks has birth anim

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Bear in mind that you have to fit in with the general Warcraft style here; a higher-poly building will stand out.

And half the barracks' triangles are in the scaffolds and such during the birth animation; what you see, nine-to-five in-game, is far less.

 

[Xatoga]

Even so, it's a large cathedral building, and you'd probly only have one or so in a given map. Plus, lots of buildings are aroung that, and many units too. 1500 is pretty low to me. Over 2000 and its pushing it but it fits fine atm.

EDIT: Here's the first work on my entry. I'll be making futuristic city stuff, mostly Starcraft/Star Wars based. Here's a big tower building.

 

[DesKaladA]

I would give it a try but every free moduling tool dosen't work on vista
Tool makers i give you your next changeable thingey

 

[Pyritie]

Here's the first work on my entry. I'll be making futuristic city stuff, mostly Starcraft/Star Wars based. Here's a big tower building.

Ooo fancy! Make a whole set! With birth anims!

 

[Katu]

I CARE about the poly number, I usually spend a lot of time on reducing the polycount as much as possible. But aesthetics and the power of the shapes, are always above polycount for me.

On: Retextured almost all the faces on my cathedral... and added 8 more towers... but finalized it. 2490 faces.



The shape of the roofs and the towers, the color of the cupolas and the roofs are symbolizing the forest - the home of the Elves. Also, the textures, I think, make it look Elven. So I named it "Cathedral of the Forest".

And I changed my mind about the extra doodads and started to make some.
First, here is a fence piece:



(as you can see I'm mapping it atm)

PS.: No ideas about my question in my previous post?

 

[Elenai]

My second Cathedral WIP pic. Doodad pics should come soon. (when I make the doodads that is )

 

[Massive_attack]

nice job Elenai, would be nice with a few larger spires/towers on the outer fence. Other than that i cant imagine how i would improve it keep it up !

Katu: beautiful. This is going to work out fine right, not like the other few...

Edit: just thought of something, add an entrance also: woud be nice with a nice big tower in the middle area there.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Some very nice work guys, keep up the good work. I especially like yours so far, Katu.

 

[Massive_attack]

Rao would have won

 

[Jaakko]

Those Werewulf's models should be very useful for Outland.

 

[Xatoga]

Heres a few more. The last one is Proudmoore edited to be Mengsk in the holographs and stuff in a few pictures of Terran worlds in SC2. What type of material is the semi-transparent/glowy one again though?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Which textures will you use?

 

[Xatoga]

The cathedral and a few village textures mostly. May work in some from the Dungeon tileset or goblin stuff where needed. Here's another skyscraper. I'll try and find a good picture of the artwork I'm basing most on, it's a concept art thing for Korhal. I have it as my desktop but I don't know how to hide icons

 

[Gausslander]

Delete them, and then restore them. That's the only way I know how ( : (Icons)
And I hope you make them futuristic, or they'll look quite strange.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Additive.

 

[Katu]

Still no idea? Then I sould tell, if anyone interested.

My cathedral is a tribute to Antoni Gaudi and his cathedral - the Sagrada Familia (Saint Family) catheral. It's in Barcelona, and I think even if it's not fully built yet, it's the most beautiful cathedral in the world.

 

[Gausslander]

Hah, the Sagrada Familia is not yet finished Katu, and it is brown not green. Also it isn't very wide, just tall. And it has towers with fruit statues on top of them. Not only that, but it has thousands of statues of Jesus Christ. I've stood there, climbed up it's 3000 stairs, and payed the 40$ admission fee, I know this stuff.

 

[Xatoga]

That's the one that reminds me of Geonosis whenever I see it

 

[Just_Spectating]

i'll try my best

Naga Theme?


Ingame Fortress i Made using my models

 

[Katu]

Hah, the Sagrada Familia is not yet finished Katu, and it is brown not green. Also it isn't very wide, just tall. And it has towers with fruit statues on top of them. Not only that, but it has thousands of statues of Jesus Christ. I've stood there, climbed up it's 3000 stairs, and payed the 40$ admission fee, I know this stuff.

Did I wrote that my model "is" the Sagrada Familia? I just wanted to make something that reminds me of it. I ALSO know these stuff you mentioned. You know, I wanna be an architect one day... only because I've seen that temple (not cathedral, hah)

One more note: Someone modeled the full Sagrada Familia, and it was 35 million polies, not 2490.

 

[Xatoga]

Here's the first one of mine done, provided I don't opt for animations. It uses the Power Generator and Cathedral textures. And I got a pic of what I pased it on now.

And Just_Spectating, there's a stone-textured naga skin on one of the naga building's textures, you might want to use that instead of the current one you have on it from the seahorse statue.

 

[Just_Spectating]

kay.

 

[Xatoga]

Update. 2 models down, also I decided to make the tower use just one skin, which do u think's better guys? This version or the older one?

EDIT: And another, albeit small model. This is a track piece for a monorail. I'm also making a station for it, and maybe a train, though I dunno how you'd get it to go down the rails.

 

[Massive_attack]

Xatoga, the older ones better

On the other models: friggin sweet ! keep it up dude these are fantastic, i cant wait to make my maps with these !

 

[Just_Spectating]

Update. Used the skin Xatoga said would be better, looks kinda gothic now lol

 

[Elenai]

WAIT is that skin custom or is it a naga building skin?.....cause if it is custom you are not allowed to use custom skins.

Xatoga...You might be able to make a train go down the rail if you set the rail to a walkable destructable and make the train a wandering critter and set it to run on the rail. or you could use the invisible walkable pathing blocks on the rail.

 

[Just_Spectating]

It is NOT custom, it is INGAME skin, Update. 3 new.

 

[Kimbo]

umm..how is that quad arch unique? you can just rotate 2 arches in WE..

 

[Just_Spectating]

there not regular arches, they're longated, but i kinda see your point. ill make it different

 

[Kofi_Banan]

A WIP of my Quarry , i think ill make stand,work,birth and death animations so it can be used as building.
Like 500 polys so far , i know i have to fix the rocks

 

[Jaakko]

@Just_Spectating
I like your naga statue, the water vase and the idea of that lantern but it looks a bit strange maybe from that angle. Also there's nothing special in the wall I can just rotate the normal naga circle to do that. I think I would like to use your naga, water and lantern in my campaign so keep it up and I'll look forward to test them. Also for Outland I will find Werewulf models useful.

Katu those grey circle thing at the top of your church look strange and I don't like that skin either.

 

[Redeemer59]

Just_Spectating, I'd download that just for the myrmidon statue. It looks awesome.

 

[Xatoga]

I should have never told you of that skin, Just_Spectating. They might vote you higher than me now

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I like your statue of the Myrmidon, the other ones you made I don't really like, Just_Spectating. But the statue one is really sweet.

 

[Xatoga]

Here's the Monorail Station, it uses the Dalaran Building texture.

 

[Elenai]

Here is a sample of the Silvermoon Doodads that will accompany my elven cathedral.

 

[Just_Spectating]

I should have never told you of that skin, Just_Spectating. They might vote you higher than me now

lol thanks anyway

 

[Massive_attack]

dayum Xatoga, nice work !

 

[Just_Spectating]

Xatoga, you using Gmax?

 

[Cavman]

Xatoga, that stuff is freaking awsome. I really wanna make some dysotopian, SciFi map now.

Been a while since I posted. So here,I got some new stuff.

Three new WoW inspired doodads. I've really been playing to much lately.

First is a Human Church, second is one of those Giant Tuskarr head Statues seen in the new Wrath of the Lichking concept art, and the third, which I'm not sure is aloud, is a Orc Wagon, like the kind you see all around in Orc controled lands.

For the Church I'm contimplating whether or not to Color the roof, and even so which color I should use.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

awesome church cav !

i resigned of making quarry , ill make some modern stuff

 

[Massive_attack]

Preety cool apartment kofi ! nice job !

 

[Xatoga]

Xatoga, you using Gmax?

Milkshape. I can't figure out Gmax at all
Thanks for the comments guys I thinkI'll make the train next.

Cavman, I love that caravan, looks great.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I diss the Kodo logo:ed Food Restaurant and resigned to make some kind of a Demon King Statue structure with pillars. It might have various usefulness.
Model 100% made in scratch.

Demon body polycount: 334
Polycount per pillars: 120
Total polycount: 934

I have one question, should the demon statue have wings or spikes on it's back?

Here's a WIP of it. The demon body will have some dark effects when exported from 3DS Max.
