Modeling Compo #8 Brainstorming

[frostwhisper]

Hell, I know the poll hasn't concluded yet, but the earlier we start those ideas rolling the better.

My vote goes for double unit models (like the mortar team).

 

[LiOneSS]

My vote goes for a paired modelling compo

 

[skrab]

paired modelling "double unit models" lol

double units that will be a new challenge

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Hmmz... What about town halls?

 

[frostwhisper]

We've done Citadels/Halls/Whatever already. Results were horrid (2 entries).

 

[Callahan]

What about making an hybrid human/animal that has its very own civilzation/culture?
Like aztec lizard,ameridian bison or oriental fennec...

 

[Mechanical Man]

Maybe cavalry? A humanoid creature riding a beast.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Outland theme. Make a beast/doodad/structure/mechanical that would fit in Outland.

 

[Kofi_Banan]

Maybe cavalry? A humanoid creature riding a beast.

I support that idea

 

[SuPa-]

I agree with the hybrid idea, but we shouldn't need to come up with a whole civilization concept, seems rather unnecessary, but it wouldn't be hard

 

[Cavman]

Hybrid or Cavalry, I like both ideas.

 

[SuPa-]

Indeed, so do I

I might actually like the cavalry idea more

 

[Mechanical Man]

Cavalry can be classified as double models, too.

 

[DwarfZealot]

cavalry ftw.......

 

[Dionesiist]

I have to agree with cavalry myself.

 

[brad.dude03]

I personally like the first idea, besides the mortar team, I don't know of any other paired-unit models out there, so surely this would be a great idea for a contest, no? I'm sure the results would be very useful to the WC3 community as well.

 

[frostwhisper]

Yeah, there's a difference between cavalry and double unit models.
But cavalry seems to be the public favorite, so perhaps it is best to use that theme instead.

 

[Callahan]

Yeah, there's a difference between cavalry and double unit models.

It depend what is the mount.Goblin alchemist is a double unit.

 

[Pyritie]

Elementals!

message length

 

[Elenai]

No Elementals...seems a little easy.

Double Units, and/or Cavalry.

Essentially, make any models that are two or more creatures in one.

That is a good idea.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Although...I have discovered that I have a phobia of making Cavalry..ever since that elf knight..*shudders*

 

[Xatoga]

My vote goes for cavalry... and I can just use anims from the knight or raider then, but re model all the stuff around it... since animating is when I always drop out

 

[Mechanical Man]

Cavalry is just a subcategory of double models. And I vote for SuPa as a judge.

 

[donut3.5]

I think they have to be a moderator
And if its cavalry, I'm probably gonna be judge because I hate animating 4 legs..
--donut3.5--

 

[Pyritie]

I guess double-units it is then.

And if its cavalry, I'm probably gonna be judge because I hate animating 4 legs..
--donut3.5--

Don't worry. Mine will be the last you'll have to do.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

A giant robot... Riding a giant robot?

And would a centaur-like being count as 'cavalry' (consider it IS a man and a horse, just... fused... together...)?

 

[Callahan]

I think they have to be a moderator
And if its cavalry, I'm probably gonna be judge because I hate animating 4 legs..
--donut3.5--

Huh?Modeling contest needs judges?

 

[DwarfZealot]

lol its by votes there is no need for judges

 

[brad.dude03]

As you may know, judges are indeed needed. Modelling Competition 7 Polls indicate that users are voting for things that they like best, not things that are the best made. So, in order to bring justice to all, judging is indeed needed.

 

[SuPa-]

Elementals are not easy to make :O

 

[Pyritie]

An elemental dual-unit? D:

But how is the ping pong peon launcher not a product of divine inspiration?

 

[donut3.5]

Rao, I'd say with a four legged horse being like a centaur for a cavalry unit would be acceptable.
And I don't know about the other judges, but I like to judge models to give the ones with "hidden" quality a chance so that the common voter wont pass a blind eye over them.
--donut3.5--

 

[brad.dude03]

That's what I said, but certain people with far more knowledge of modelling than I, insist that the other entries may contain higher quality workmanship, if less luls.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

And what about a man riding a bicycle? Or a tricycle? Or a quad-bike? Or a surf-board?

 

[frostwhisper]

Dunno. That counts as cavalry in a way...

 

[donut3.5]

It is unit riding unit, but I would allow centaurs and other hybrids, just as long as they are half humanoid and then half a mount of some sort.
--donut3.5--

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Donutty, that doesn't address the concern of motorbikes and surfboards.

 

[donut3.5]

Sure it does, its a unit (humanoid) riding a unit (more open, could be a horse, could be mechanical, could be a surfboard).
--donut3.5--

 

[Xatoga]

They're a mounted unit. It depends, are we doing 'cavalry' or 'doubles?' My vote goes for cavalry since there can be more options like that than if it was doubles.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

What about, say, a man ass-raping a donkey? Since the man would ... be... mounting... it...

 

[frostwhisper]

Rao has a point there.

 

[donut3.5]

It would be legal by the contest rules, but not so legal with the site rules..
--donut3.5--

 

[Xatoga]

LOL

It'd be legal by my rules...

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

It'd be legal by my rules...

Yes, Xatty, but you're a complete weirdo.

 

[brad.dude03]

Hey, hey, hey now.

Just because he's Jewish doesn't mean you can discriminate.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Does it have to be ass raping?

I mean, can't it be romantic? Anal sex with a monkey has it's... yeah... right, never mind.

 

[Xatoga]

Hey, hey, hey now.

Just because he's Jewish doesn't mean you can discriminate.

Lol oh yeahs... I still have my holiday-theme going on... better change that... sometime.

And RDZ, I take pried in being a weirdo

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I wasn't discriminating, I was stating fact. :<

 

[Callahan]

So this is cavalery?It's ok for me.
Why the constest didn't started yet, my holiday are nearly finished...

 

[donut3.5]

The first one should probably come to a close, which is on the 9th of March.. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it will probably start mid-march.
--donut3.5--

 

[LiOneSS]

paired modelling "double unit models" lol

double units that will be a new challenge

no i meant to people in a team making a model
