Modeling Competition - Chess Pieces

[Rao Dao Zao]

Imagine, an RDZ Industries chess set...

 

[Pyritie]

... which would never be released, knowing you.

 

[Kwaliti]

C'mon people, this competition will never see the light of day. Leave the thread as it was; dead.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Of course it would never be released, but imagine it anyway.

 

[HappyTauren]

Well, it can always be done like WoW statues

 

[Mechanical Man]

Bah, you can use wc3 models as chess pieces :/

Let's make something which will actually be used in maps, not just nice looking models.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Or how about models from other games? So you'd be making Starcraft units, Halo units, or any other game. Just not Warcraft.

 

[Mechanical Man]

That sounds better, but it somewhat limits the creativity, I mean the models are not something original.

 

[HappyTauren]

What about diablo models? It'd be fun as there are not many diablo creeps and would be usefull too

 

[YoshiRyu]

and what about futurist models?
human, elf, dwarf, orc, troll, gob, ogar, night elf, and undead of the futur...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Night elves of the future? They're bonded with nature, how much "future" can you get in there?

I'm mostly interested as to how well people can redo a concept from another game.

SPACE QUEL'DOREI!!!!!! I still need to find time to make those models. ACK!!! If only I had some inspiration besides the over done Eldar.

that's where something called imagination could be usefull
they could have discovered a powerfull eco-energy

and do you have forgotten that humans (irl) were bonded with nature too a long time ago? it hadn't prevented them to advance.

I'm mostly interested as to how well people can redo a concept from another game.

Sorry, but i think that it has no more use than the chess units...
and it doesn't allow any creativity
but that's just my view point

 

[Elenai]

Hmmmz...Futuristic druids use the power of the planet's spirit to wage war upon those who would defile their glade worlds. While the priestesses of the moon use the vast energies of the stars to smite enemies. Traveling aboard great space faring Ancients as vessals blessed with the energies of the planet.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Elenai, you should check also Star wars universe for your inspiration, not only Warhammer 40k.

 

[NovaBlade]

Okay, with the turn this is taking why don't we just have a modeling competition were the objective is to make one very good model from any other Blizzard game? (Diablo, Warcraft I or II, Starcraft) It would have to be custom modeled, skinned, and animated. The winner gets rep, and then all the models are put up for download so that we can add to the Warcraft III modding community's model's database?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

If it becomes a 'model from Starcraft' contest, ever, I am out of this place.

Seriously.

 

[Mechanical Man]

NovaBlade, you can still make a model from those game if it fits the theme.

 

[NovaBlade]

i was just saying, considering that thats pretty much what everyone is changing this contest into we might as well give the units more animations than stand, death and 1 attack...
