Modeling Competition #5 - Neutral Structure

[Redeemer59]

I vote wings.

 

[frostwhisper]

Spikes... wings wouldn't look quite good on a pillar like that. Also adding fiery effects at the main pillar's top (the demon statue base) would be awesome.

 

[Massive_attack]

This demon model is 100x better than what you had before.

 

[SuPa-]

It's hands are made weirdly, it's like it has 5 fingers instead of 4 fingers and a thumb. But that might be different when you animate it, idk

 

[Elenai]

Spikes.....make it like Diablo THE LORD OF TERROR.

 

[Cavman]

Both, Wings and spikes. No, spikes on wings on spikes!

 

[Xatoga]

On wings?

 

[Cavman]

Now thats thats just going over board.

 

[Dionesiist]

I'd say you give him tentacles. And also make the torso somewhat smaller...

 

[Katu]

Smaller? Bigger!

I like that statue anyway. But I think it's too close to Werewulf's theme.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Personaly, I think wings (bat/dragon/demonic-like) would fit him better now that I've added more stuffs to him, like horns, eyes and shoulder pads. Shoulder pads and the patterns on the horns will be teamcoloured.
Please do not care about the black border on the eyes as I will give it the Additive (or Add Alpha) after the model is exported as MDX.

Spikes.....make it like Diablo THE LORD OF TERROR.

I want to be a bit creative in this competition instead of making models of game characters.

It's hands are made weirdly, it's like it has 5 fingers instead of 4 fingers and a thumb. But that might be different when you animate it, idk

Hope I've made the thumbs more thumb-like now in this version.
And I can't scratch animate, so I'll have to steal in-game buiding animations when this model is exported.

I'd say you give him tentacles. And also make the torso somewhat smaller...

Tentacles would make the demon look out of place. And I don't want to make him look too thin.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Looks neat Dan! I really like this, all the skins fit in very nicely.

 

[Elenai]

Oh I wasnt suggesting making it Diablo...I was merely pointing out a sample. Wings seem a bit overdone when it comes to demons. Spikes on its back (similar to diablo's back) would be more original and actually it would be easier on polycount and easier to make. Thus its original, practical, and it would still look good.

 

[Elenai]

Here is another sample of my High Elven Doodads.

These are just the first set of walls and collumns and arches however.

PS: Would it be ok if we had an extension of time like perhaps to the end of September. I have school and stuff and I have alot to do along with alot of models to geomake. Its a little time consuming and the deadline is worrying me a little.

 

[Pyritie]

Make the blue floaty things seperate geosets and make them Additive. Oh, and Dan, how many polies? And I don't like what you did with those eyes. Unless you were planning to make the black part additive, no?

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Elenai how big are those models?

Sorry but no. This started before August, which means by the deadline it will have been a month. A two month long contest is ridiculous. Perhaps I can extend it a week so more can manage to finish, but no more.

 

[Massive_attack]

Yess a week extension would be very kind Chriz, thanks.

 

[Xatoga]

I'm good with a week, though I wouldn't say its needed.

 

[Pyritie]

The reuirements are at least one model, so you only really need the extention if you can't get one done before then.

 

[Cavman]

Ok, so here's my entry. The Orc wagon has two versions, onethats red and one thats TC, sense it's based off the catapult. The Church has three versions, Black roof, Blue Roof, and TC roof. Everything else is pretty straight forward.

The teal ones are thoes ones with TC

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I always thought that some of the Undead building textures had some decidedly Daedric elements.

So since Morrowind is one form of awesomeness incarnate, I thought I'd start off with a... uh... Daedric signpost?

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Looks pretty cool but now you need to replace the brown tints with red tints for the deadric stuff

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Rules and Guidelines:

• Follow requirements above.
• You may enter more than one model, but all together they count as one submission.
• You have to make sure the model(s) is fully and correctly functional in-game.
• The model must be textured using in-game textures and be correctly pathed to use them without importing the used textures.
• You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
• To qualify for entry, you must post your model(s) in .mdx format, and an in-game screenshot of the model.
• You must post your entry before the deadline expires.
• You must make the model for this competition. Which means that you cannot use old works.

Everyone pay attention when submitting, like you Cavman, we need the in game shot of everything in the submission post.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i havent been working lately. imma little busy at the moment, but i have some great ideas

 

[Cavman]

blank

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Yeah well I think it needs to be in the same post, Cavman

 

[Cavman]

blank

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Please do not care about the black border on the eyes as I will give it the Additive (or Add Alpha) after the model is exported as MDX.

Plus I haven't counted the polies, but I'm pretty sure its a little more than 1000.


My Demon King Statue has been exported. And I've added spikes on the back, since it did look better than having wings. And I've also made the demon part darker to match the colors with the pillars.
Animations are taken from the ingame Human Shipyard model (not shown in the screeny), though I've added a duplicate of it's Stand Work to make a birth animation.

Here are some ingame shots on the model. Any last comments and/or feedbacks before I submit it?

 

[Gausslander]

looks great.

 

[donut3.5]

Maybe make fire ontop of his hands?
--donut3.5--

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Looks really great, but the head looks empty in some odd way, like bald men where the head shines, you know? Couldn't "something" be added there? Or make the face less human like.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Maybe make fire ontop of his hands?
--donut3.5--

He has green sparkling things ontop of his hands when Stand Work animation is played, so I can't add fire effects there unless I place the sparkling things above the head and give the hands rooms for fire.

Looks really great, but the head looks empty in some odd way, like bald men where the head shines, you know? Couldn't "something" be added there? Or make the face less human like.

A hair or any type of hat or helmet would make the demon look stupid. I'm quite satisfied of having him the baldy look....and with horns. It's just I find it appropriate.
And the face is pretty less human like since it has no ears and no nose.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Ofcourse hair or helmet would be dumb, I just meant changing the head form or yes, making horns.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Horns are already at the back of the head, making him look different from other demons.

 

[Massive_attack]

Those are both nice

*hopes RDZ wont drop out, again*

 

[Pyritie]

RDZ only dropped out that once, I think. Remember the citadel competition?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I finished the Hero one, and the citadel.

But I think I will drop out again, there's no space for OPTIMUS PRIME in this competition.

 

[Pyritie]

You and your transformers. There's no real reason to drop out now, is there? You could end up getting some rep for your work if people like them. Which they do.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Bugger that, Optimus Prime is worth more than rep and award icons.

 

[Pyritie]

So how does you and your "Prime Time" have anything to do with your dropping out of the competition?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Because I spend all my time pouring every ounce of awesomeness into him; if I didn't, then I'd fail in my duty to represent him appropriately.

And that means no time to cook random doodads -- which may be fun for ten minutes, but doesn't have the lasting appeal of a good Prime well done.

 

[SuPa-]

The thing is people, and you're going to have to accept this... Yeah, I know it's hard to think about, and might be a little too much for you, but... He doesn't have to release them if he doesn't want to :O

I'd personally prefer a sechsy Optimus, even though I'd never use it XP

 

[Pyritie]

And that means no time to cook random doodads -- which may be fun for ten minutes, but doesn't have the lasting appeal of a good Prime well done.

You could at least release the ones you have made so far.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I could do a lot of things.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

And i hope you do alot of thing things, because i still need a payload of models

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

So maybe it's only a little Daedric.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Meh, try out and replace the brown tints with red tints to make it really deadric

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Dude, fuck off, I don't give a shit how Daedric it actually is.

Now, for my main building submission...

Before time began, there was… the cube. We know not where it came from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them… with life.

 

[SuPa-]

lol... Cube from Transformers
