Modeling Contest #11 - Chimeras

[Pyritie]

Hive Workshop Modeling Contest #11!


Contest Theme: Chimeras

A chimera is a creature that is composed of or has features of two or more creatures.
An example of a chimera is a gryphon, which is composed of an eagle, lion and sometimes horse. Just so long as your submission clearly has features from two or more creatures it will be valid.

Contest Rules And Conditions

1. No submission may violate any Hive Workshop site rules.
2. The model must follow the current theme. If any model does not fit, a moderator will tell you ASAP as to avoid confusion.
3. Must contain at minimum the following animations, the rest is up to you:
   • Stand
   • Attack
   • Walk
   • Death
   • Portrait Animation (whether it's for a camera or a separate portrait model)
4. You have to make sure the model is fully and correctly functional in-game.
5. You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
6. You may make as many models as you want, however pick only one for the final judge's evaluation.
7. To qualify for entry, you must post your model(s) in .mdx format, and an in-game screenshot of the model.
8. You must post your entry before the deadline expires and attach it to a post.
9. You must make the model for this competition, which means that you cannot use old works.
10. Please PM your FINAL model to me once you are done. This makes it a lot easier for me to pick out the finished models from the WIPs.

[Hawkwing]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Is there a max on Animal parts?

I.e. Would a Griph/Gryph with scorpion tail be diqualified.?

 

[Hawkwing]

As long as there's at least two and less than infinite. If you put in too many your submission will be accepted, but it will probably not get a lot of votes or a good score in judging. I would say too many is more than seven, but that's just me. And don't quote me on this because it's not the official rules, it's just my assumption.

 

[Xatoga]

Ooohooo, I am in.

 

[skrab]

lulz? already started?

 

[Hawkwing]

The previous one ended quite some time ago.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Hawk, i would never quote somebody whos not acting stupid.

..So less than 7 and more than 2 animals in one..

 

[Hawkwing]

Something like that.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

This is gonna be... complicated.

 

[SuPa-]

Yay! Let's all celebrate...
Before I kill you all ^.^

Lol, anyway, good luck to everybody

 

[Devine]

WIP
still needs arms and a head.
(nerubian + dread lord)
of course i'll do some stuff by my self

 

[Hawkwing]

The wings could be longer. I like the idea though.

 

[Devine]

The wings could be longer. I like the idea though.

They are long ... but they're almost standing horizontal so they appear short ...
anyway ... since the deadline only is december i think i'll remake it whenever this is finished. Then i'll make the skin (but .. i don't know about that) and i might even animate it myself ... instead of stealing bits of blizz anims.

EDIT: WIP 2

EDIT 2: WIP 3

EDIT 3: WIP of the back and front off his human part.

 

[~Void~]

I would learn to model in a week just to make my idea.

Nether Drake + Obsidian Destroyer

 

[D a w n]

Yay

I´m in

good luck everybody

Edit1:

Edit2: changed my concept ( a new centaur nightelf unit)

[Callahan]

Nether Drake + Obsidian Destroyer

Awesome idea.It's doable ,seriously you can do it.Very easy since netherdrake use monochrome textures.

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

I'm in

 

[Xatoga]

I'm thinking up some weird chimeras right now, but if I can't decide on an exceptionally bizarre but doable one, I'm going for the deepcrow.

 

[Devine]

Okay.
Now I started on the mesh.
did the torso however it needs some wrap fixes.

 

[Hawkwing]

I say it needs a bit more contrast. Otherwise it's lovely.

 

[Xatoga]

Here's some progress on the crow.

 

[D a w n]

WIP of my current progress:

 

[Devine]

WIP of my current progress:

[Lord_T]

[Xatoga]

i like the chest. What texture did you use on it? or did you make it yourself ...?

 

[donut3.5]

I'm so in. WIP of mesh soon.
--donut3.5--

 

[D a w n]

nice WIPs so far

 

[Devine]

i've searched for .. like times for a naked human torso in the MPQ's D:!
anyways WIP. still needs too texture the legs. Unshaded part on the spider body will be TC.

EDIT: oh forgot to mention: 250 polies so far
now i go to sleep.

 

[Lord_T]

Yeah, I used campaign Bloodelf.

You forgot about Rexxar/Beastmaster?

 

[Devine]

Yeah, I used campaign Bloodelf.

meh ... that one is to dirty

 

[donut3.5]

It's a squid! It's a turtle! It's a lobster!
It's SQUIDOBSTURTLE MAN!

Still need to rig and animate.
--donut3.5--

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I wonder what kind of geomerge I could do... geomerge being the only good thing that would work.

Would a cyborg qualify?

 

[donut3.5]

Not really, that would be more of a robotic theme. I think animals would work better.
--donut3.5--

 

[FamousPker49]

I officially call Man-Bear-Pig.

 

[Linaze]

I like it donut, although his legs look as though they couldn't bear his whole weight, as they look "fishy".

 

[Xatoga]

Animated now. I might add some walking animations though, right now he just has flying ones. And something's buggy on his death anim, it repeats 2-3 times when he dies.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I love the entries so far. That crow is sweet. I also REALLY like yours donut. I might try geomerging something since that is the only modeling tool I have access to/can afford. I want the next texturing contest to start, since I can actually make somethin cool for those. Keep up the good work people.

 

[SuPa-]

I r doingz rhino-bear-pig xD

 

[Lord_T]

Open the model in magos' open the death sequence, and check the "Non-looping" box.

You don't like mine? T.T

 

[LiOneSS]

I'm in, I'll do a pegasus

 

[Dionesiist]

Give it a heart on the buttocks <3

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Is Nerubiman allowed?

 

[HappyTauren]

Nerutman. Awesome.

 

[Dionesiist]

Give him some wings and more arms and consider a yes.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Spiders don't have wings -> Nerubians don't have wings -> Nerubiman doesn't have wings.

Spiders don't have arms -> Nerubians have two arms -> Nerubiman has two arms.

Don't get me started on legs.

 

[Dionesiist]

He might need more to make him a chimera though.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Hence why I was asking if he was okay.
