Modeling Competition #7 - Siege Weapons

[MadseN]

believe me TDR i tried but i couldn't make the plane transparent, the alpha channels didn't work...

Also i got this error when i were about to animate the death. So i couldn't cont..

You know how to solve this ?

/MadseN

 

[HappyTauren]

Madsen, just make planes on wheels, don't worry what it looks like in max, once it is exported, you can change material blending type to transparent in mdl or in magos so it will be transparent.

 

[Ice]

Just started and well heres a WIP pic of a futuristic tank.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

cool. i like the third tank best
anyways, not trying to be an idiot or anything but where do i hand in the model?

 

[Pyritie]

You just post an ingame screenshot and your .mdx model. (+ any textures it might need, in .blp form)

 

[Ice]

LOL, those arn't different tanks just more done and 4rth 1 is just a side shot of the 3rd 1.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I will be posting this now, as I do not know how much time I will have to model in the future. Tell me about the bugs.

 

[TDR]

yeah, well I couldn't squeeze a clear concept from my head, so I'll just improvise while modeling and see where that goes. So far I made this big guy that will be pulling the siege engine around.

 

[Elenai]

Here is my WIP.

A Space Quel'Dorei gunship.

This flying machine has long been under the forge hammers of the mighty High Elves...Long have they seen, that air superiority on the battle field, could not be won, merely with light fighters, quick and deft..darting about..

They needed massive firepower.

From the heavens they send down upon the enemy a raining hail of fire and destruction from their arcane fist...

The Infernatae X1 Anti-Material Arcane Cannon, "The Sunflare".

 

[DwarfZealot]

yeah after those two amazing things mine looks like crap but anyway here is the battering ram/siege tower thing. And tdr my idea was to have someone pushing this and like pull the battering ran back but i am not good enough to do that

 

[Kimbo]

bleh. its messy but its something. I wasted far too many polies but bleh. I might fi that issue later (wasted alot on the front part)

 

[madcat2]

Looks cool but what is it a skull wagon ?

 

[Sansui]

yeah, well I couldn't squeeze a clear concept from my head, so I'll just improvise while modeling and see where that goes. So far I made this big guy that will be pulling the siege engine around.

WOW way to steal my idea and concept I was working on.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Anyways here it is.

My
Iron Dog of War

Anyways its a crazy machine of war. It bite and shell its way through the enemy lines and when it reaches the wall, it will blast the **** out of it
its partly inspired by my defiler i made (with the cannon, gun and melee attack) and partly by those freaky little robots called mousers in TMNT

The Spell Animation is artillery fire
Spell channel is sustained artillery fire
Spell slam is like the ulti where you fire at the wall or enemy troops and youre like
!!!~LOLIOWNYOU~!!!

take no heed to the petty peasant stats.
i tried all the animations on the editor and in the game. the only weird one is the death animation but its not too bad.
oh.. and when it dies it does a thunderclap effect on the ground. that is not a bug. i was trying to simulate a fissure and earthquake.
anyways here it is
View attachment Dog Of War.mdx
i am experimenting with the event objects and will put updated versions if possible

and to Werewolf
is it a cannon?it doesnt matter. i really like that model. not to mention it reminds me of my favourite toy in my childhood(^_^)

 

[DwarfZealot]

no comments on mine?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Mine neither? Say at least if it is acceptable, I do not want my model excluded from the poll without any explanations.

 

[Lord_T]

Looks like it's GG for us newbies now, TDR, Elenai AND Werewulf are going hard.
<--------------- Is not giving up hope. | will fight to the end!

[donut3.5]

Looks good mechman, my only suggestion is zoom the camera out for the portrait. I'm a little confused as to what it is, but it is pretty cool.
--donut3.5--

 

[Sansui]

Ehh i like your giant better tdr... I was going to wait when till I finished the little girl that guides him but whatever.

 

[Dionesiist]

Everyone let's it out now =D

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

to DwarfZealot
i think the your models pretty good except its a bit tall for a ram and bit too short for a siege tower i cant say much because its only from one angle. although the texture is sure cool. is that a custom texture? if it isnt, doesnt really matter because you used it really well

To Mechanical Man
yours look pretty good too. i never seen anything like it so i cant compare it with anything. the blue crystals looks so advanced compared to the wooden body. the effects and the glow are really good tho.
one thing i would comment on is that you could make it 4 wheeled because that thing looks big and it has only two wheels to support it.
as an extra, maybe you could put a driver on it, like the goblin shredder

 

[donut3.5]

Haha Sans, first time I saw that I thought it was a gorilla wearing a tie
It's good to see some activity here though.
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

Sansui, that better end up being a teddy bear!

 

[DwarfZealot]

yes that is a custom texture 100% freehand by me

 

[Kimbo]

Alright, im done, some slight errors like missed some uv wrap parts and some holes in the middle but meh, its done.

This is SkullSeige, a Skeletal Dragon like head that can be used to shoot fireballs, frostbreath or be used as biting/ramming. I was going to add particles but I cant get them to work, enjoy.

 

[TDR]

why can't you get particles to work? what's the problem?

 

[Kimbo]

Trying to use magos model editor to do it, i apply them and they dont show up in the display.

 

[TDR]

...magos? I thought you had max 5.

 

[Pyritie]

Wulf, did you follow WILL's tutorial?

 

[Mechanical Man]

If I remember correctly, particles made in magos won't show in magos. At least Ham Ham told me so.

 

[Pyritie]

I make all my particles in magos and I can see them just fine.

The only things magos can't show are Tail particles and Ribbons. And ParticleEmitter1's.

 

[Dionesiist]

Just to throw in some signs of life, I finished animating my model and I'm now doing another skin, that one sucks...

 

[Kuhneghetz]

"Particle Emitter 2" would show up in Magos fine if "head" is on, I think.
Though you need to see it ingame to show the tail effect.

 

[LiOneSS]

oh.. i'm so out of this one... i have exams now and i am in two more compos :S

 

[Dionesiist]

Here's a new 'WIP' from me... Gave him a new head, which isn't as low-poly and also finished reskinning the organic areas.

 

[frostwhisper]

Lovin' the face.

 

[General Frank]

Here's a new 'WIP' from me... Gave him a new head, which isn't as low-poly and also finished reskinning the organic areas.

Am I the only one who resembles this thing the Nihilanth from Half life ?
Anyway, if awesome an really Dio-like !

 

[SuPa-]

Werewulf has Max 7, I think. Also, particles show up fine in Magos, it's ribbons that don't show up in it.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Dio: The head is excellent. The texture on the body needs to be blended more though.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Here's a new 'WIP' from me... Gave him a new head, which isn't as low-poly and also finished reskinning the organic areas.

Hmmm yeah... it looks pretty good and all but what does he attack with? and does he float around like a hovercraft because i cant tell how he moves from the picture. but from this picture, i sure can tell the head looks great.

oh yeah, its the weekend! now i have some time to do some modelstuff. does anybody have a comment on my model so i could make it better?

 

[Dionesiist]

What the fuck is wrong with you? He attacks with the cannon which replaces his right arm and has three fucking wheels! lol...

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

ohhh... so that was a cannon. i thought it was just a metal arm. hehehe(^_^

 

[TDR]

early wip of the siege machine itself. I'm thinking of dropping the idea with that dude that pulls this thing around 'cause I'm too lazy to animate the bastard.

 

[Sansui]

TDR thats what I started thinking a while back and why im ditching the little girl that pulls him around i think.

btw looks nice.

 

[Dionesiist]

The thing with the little girl was awesome though.. =<

 

[SuPa-]

Jebus, how many polys do those cylinders have? It looks like they have 12 or more slices each. They don't need to be that high

 

[DwarfZealot]

The thing with the little girl was awesome though.. =<

/agree..........

 

[TDR]

Jebus, how many polys do those cylinders have? It looks like they have 12 or more slices each. They don't need to be that high

they won't be that high man, they're placeholders...

 

[Ice]

heres another WIP pic skin far from done trying to fined good colors for the body of the tank because i dont want it all red

 

[Elenai]

Hmmz..I certainly hope my problem will not get in the way of my model competition entry.
