[Gausslander]

Wow, what a great idea. Maybe somebody will look to Nightmare before Christmas for some inspiration. Seems like an excellent idea for a modeling contest, next we'll cover thanksgiving and make cowboys and indians.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah, ive suggested that and they just crushed my ideas..

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

Hmm... allright Im in this time

[ragingspeedhorn]

[Kimbo]

You need to also make some candys!

pfft, candy? Candy is for little kids and i like little kids, thus I make candy.

 

[Dionesiist]

Do a model edit if you don't want to animate Sam =P

 

[Cavman]

[*]Use of in game textures.

Dose that mean ONLY ingame textures, or can you use custom textures aswell?

Either way I'm in.

 

[donut3.5]

• Custom or in game textures are allowed.

That answers your question.
I'll probably be making the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow.
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

I'm in I'm gonna be making a skeleton/zombie

 

[Elenai]

I'll probably be making the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow.

That was what I was going to make......

 

[donut3.5]

Ok fine you take that. I have better ideas...
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

Effort is futile, mortals of the surface ground

 

[Deleted member 126647]

...mortals of the surface ground...?

 

[Xatoga]

Lol. I'll enter, maybe. Either some suicide jack o lantern guy, or something really crazy.

 

[Gausslander]

Not every friggin country Celebrates thanks giving =_=, it's mainly just a US thing to my knowledge.

Don't forget Mexico... they celebrate it too. And that was a joke.

 

[Just_Spectating]

shouldnt the rules include that you cant be a winner of a previous contest XD?

give some people a chance

 

[donut3.5]

First WIP: Pumpkin Nightmare Soldier

He's going to have a bloody sword and ax eventually. And feet.
I might also make the texture darker and rusted, although I love using only custom textures
The front plate will also be modified so the UV doesn't look like crap.
--donut3.5--

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

Here we go!
this is the basic WIP-Picture from my model.
Its a Goblin with a giant chainsawlike weapon and an steeljaw. Also I'll add some trophies on his back and change his amor so far.
No the saw isnt finished on this picture, imagine 5 sharp, rusty sawblades. Well back to work.

I know you think: Damn not again a Goblin. But what did you expected from me?

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Jack-O-Lantern wip

 

[Dionesiist]

Fat mutated turd from me.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Rizz I can see your golbin turning into something like this guy.
LITTLE KIDS DO NOT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE IT IS NOT THE NICEST THING YOU WILL EVER SEE IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

donut your guy is awesome so far keep it up.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Hmmm... too bad I can't animate for crap and don't know how to geomerge...

So I have to ask:
How do you geomerge? Do you just add a geoset through one of Oinker's tools? Do you have to rewrap it? Or do you import it via Magos or something?

Seriously, I've been asking myself that for a long time.

 

[SuPa-]

That fat turd looks asian

The pumpkin head's texture on the warrior has way too black, fat lines in my opinion. Overall it's looking pretty nice

 

[Just_Spectating]

mm, im doing the texturing contest also XD

 

[Chaos Overlord]

WILL Geomerging is very easy. Just edit the geosets you want to merge,getting rid of stuff you dont want, and then put a marker on a few of the vertexes of the geoset. Edit the second one, then position it so it is in the correct version based on where your markers are (If you are attaching a sword, for instance, put a marker or two on the hand and then move the sword geoset until it is in position corresponding to the markers you placed). Then open up Geoset merger and just find the base file and the second file, and do some of that editing stuff, and its merged. Ill PM you more details, I think I went too off-topic already, sorry guys.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Thanks for the info.

But Rizz_Boomer beat you to it.
And to be honest, it was slightly easier to read.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Yeah tahts why I gave you some official tuts instead of my crap. Lol I know I am bad at summarizing.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I was mostly reffering to the fact he used paragraphs.

Back to the compo please.

 

[Josh]

Hey donut3.5, does your pumpkin warrior use the shadow strike face, from the warden's spell? The little laughing shadow thing? Or is it that flame one? Just wondering.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it looks like the shadow strike face

 

[donut3.5]

Both are the same, I just used the shadow strike face.
Now it's rewrapped to a different texture.
Anyways, here's WIP #2. I think this may be it for the mesh.

--donut3.5--

 

[Josh]

Looks cool Donut3.5

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Lol, donut, that's badass.

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

Well second WIP from me as you can see main changes are the Backpack (wich isnt finished yet), the jaw and the chainsaw.

 

[thisruoy]

Why did we expect it to be a goblin?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Awesome model. Seriously, chainsaw goblin = win.

And what's that pumpkin texture from?

 

[Xatoga]

Great models both of you. That backpack thing looks great

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

That's one kickass goblin Rizz, it looks much better than what I had imagined, that chainsaws skin fits perfectly.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I present you... The Great Pumpkin Monster!

The pumpkin head is the only thing made by me, and it will be darkened... And yes, I know the legs are crap right now. It'll be fixed soon, hopefully.

Uses spider anims (duh).

 

[donut3.5]

And what's that pumpkin texture from?

It was going to be my secret weapon, but I decided there's no reason for it to be.
War3x.mpq\Textures\MegaBlast.blp
It took me a while to find this texture, but it had outstanding results.
--donut3.5--

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Oh I remember that texture... I once tried to use it as a particle, and it had terrible results.

Anyways, I like my texture better.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Update. Now darker, and less round (more like a pumpkin).

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

Hmm Pumpkin-spider? Damn it i shouldnt have tell him how to geomerge ^^
