[TDR]

holy shit! time passes pretty damn quick nowadays.

 

[Pyritie]

Holy crap I need to work faster.

This is some water cannon-y thingy. It shoots water out of the big tub on its back :>

Yes I know, I will get rid of the excess polies later.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Did you know if you make it green, you got a chemical tank x,x

Try to make it more e-real.

 

[Pyritie]

...

It's not textured yet.

 

[skrab]

Pyritie how much polys

 

[Pyritie]

Yes I know, I will get rid of the excess polies later.

Having lots of polies to begin with and removing them later is easier than adding polies when you realize you don't have enough.

 

[SuPa-]

Eek, 12 days left... must texture... but... TOO LAZY

Maybe I should use shitty, in-game textures... pfft, nah, those are gay

 

[TDR]

no offense, but that's a pretty retarded way of thinking. You should add polygons just where you need them, removing them afterwards could result in a loss of a shape you liked much, and would require more time to re-make the topology around that spot in order to keep that shape.

I mean removing ones on the flat top and sides.

 

[TDR]

still, it's a bad workflow and I advise you to find a way around it quickly.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I started that way too, plane modeling is better and more efficient.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

omg 10 days left. hmm... too bad i cant do anything to my one when it seems everyone is doing so much. i dont have my laptop. (T_T)

good luck to everyone. and i think today is chinese new year so if ur azn, happy new year too.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Meh, maybe I will be making this instead

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Maybe a triangled body would do it MM.

 

[donut3.5]

Besides the abrupt texture swap on the barrel, I like that one a lot better.

So win. A steam powered cannon=awesome idea. No need for someone to push it but also, looks cool and is like... a cannon.

Siege Engine.........

 

[Kofi_Banan]

I was bored and decided to make Mech with huge siege cannon on his arm. (cannon not added yet.)

Nice Mechanical_Man, try to add crew to the cannon maybe

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah. A peasant and a dwarf or something like that would rule.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Dwarf or peasant on the Mech?

Where would they sit?

 

[frostwhisper]

No... a dwarf and a peasant on the cannon. In the back.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

Noter WIP , ofc texture and mesh still needs work.

 

[Lord_T]

Hi all, My Grunt's done, but I ran into a problem with his spell slam animation... It shows perfectly in Magos', but it won't play in warcraft... All of his geoset animations go haywire and he goes back into the default mesh posture.
It looks like how a model would look if multiple animations used the same frame, But I double checked, and it doesnt... Can someone help?

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Too skinny, Kofi. And it looks like he got a boner xD

Put more heavy-duty armor on it and the cannon needs even more attention.

'Nuff said.

 

[donut3.5]

I had my day counter off before... Now, we currently have about 1 week remaining!
We will see about an extension if under 3 models have been posted by next week.

My Entry

Kofi Banans Entry

Peon-Pong Tank

Advanced siege weapon. After Peons started contesting in Azeroth Ping Pong Championships, their engenieers figued that this sport has great military potential. Powerfull ping pong machinery can tear down any wall. Nothing can survive Ping-Ball hit.


WE settings:
Launch Animation : 0.650

Projectile Launch: Y: -60
Z: 180

 

[TheDivineBoss]

That ball was way past the line!

Awasome! =D

*Plays pingpong with it =3*

 

[Callahan]

Kofi banan this is exactly that kind of fancy model i like.
Though add some event object to your model.
There is no sound.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

Ok, thx Callahan. I updated model with event objects (sounds and foot prints).

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

kofi's model is the very essence of Warcraft. Huzzah to him, I say.

 

[ColdStar]

That Peon-Pong Tank is totally awesome. Great work Kofi, that totally made my day.

 

[Pyritie]

Two days left! Get in your submissions soon!

 

[skrab]

i'm working on this model whole week , i made stand, walk, attack and attack 2 animations with a lot of bugs >.>
i'm not good at unwrap so model looks ugly

i hope i will finish it till 17th

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Fix and/or improve:
- The neck of the guy
- Some edges at the spikes of the mace
- Nothing else, it looks quite cool :]

 

[Pyritie]

Skrab, it looks good except the mallet could do with a better unwrap. The rest is fine.

 

[Spammy]

Skrab, Nice model, reminds me of one of them evil henchmen on crash bandicoot!! lol Good Work People

 

[Mechanical Man]

Hmm, it should be finished, although this is an experimental model. When animating vertices you have to be very careful, it can reach monstrous size. Before removing some unneded keys the size was 50% bigger.

For best performance make the scaling value of 1.5 to 2, attack animation field around .750, and walk animation a 200 or below.

I am still undecided which model to choose.

 

[HappyTauren]

Mechanical man, I think it needs better portrait

 

[Mechanical Man]

Portrait? And how it could look like? Is a machine, it does not need something special.

 

[HappyTauren]

You Could Frame A Bigger Part Of It.

 

[Xatoga]

I'd say the portrait should be at that angle but of the front of the cannon.

 

[skrab]

ok here is the model >_>

 

[Lord_T]

My GruntMolisher

Hey everyone, My model, Abiet abridged. I had a slamming spell animation, but it won't play in-game... So i had to scratch it.

So: My sexy GruntMolisher.

 

[frostwhisper]

Lolwut? Thousands of funny models using demolisher textures xD

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i havent posted in a while so here it is.
Kofi's pingpong thing is like ofmg-good. i love the idea except i dont know if pingpong balls would hurt. could have made it so its like baseball and baseball bat. like that machine from mythbusters. and also because baseballs hurt a LOT.
i will have to say skrab's model is pretty cool except i dont like the death animation. looks like he is kinda a melting, not falling apart. i love the spiky mace hand
Lord_T's GruntMolisher is a kickass concept, its so good, i wonder nobody thought of it before.
Mechanical man's flame cannon looks great too but it lacks the recoil motion when attacking. i dont know if that was intentional or not. but it is still good.

and one more thing. is mine still in the competition? cos i didnt get any replies about it. please comment if it looks shit or not. i would like to know.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I updated the portrait. And yes, no much recoil was intentional. After all is a flamethrower not an ordinary cannon.

 

[donut3.5]

I deem any models submitted after this invalid for review and polling.
Wolverabid: When you see this, close this thread, and can I make the poll? Or do you have to?

[Lord_T]

=O I made it!!! WOOO!!!
Good luck to all Contestants!
