Modeling Contest #13 - Buildings

[Pyritie]

TO THE MODS: My final model entry is indeed the Chinese temple. Thanks for all of your suggestions etc.

PM me please. I am going to forget that.

 

[Thrikodius]

This is my model in game. I only need to make the death animation and I'll be pretty much done.

 

[Just_Spectating]

looks familiar..

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

WIP:

I'm currently doing both skin and wrap. I know I should do the wrap first then the skin, but I had no choice.

The wrap is currently messy on the main building (the front roof isn't defined yet as for the chimney). The nipper is done.
As i'm working on my laptop, I'm using 3dsmax9. I'll export to 3dsmax5 later (when the wrap and the skin are done)

The red part is supposed to be team color. Alpha is not well rendered.

I'll post another screen when the wrap and the skin are done.

 

[Just_Spectating]

can i ask if you are going to change the ground texture as well? (if that IS part of the model.)

 

[Mechanical Man]

Meh, you could use ingame textures. They look so close to goblin tinker stuff...

 

[Just_Spectating]

lol.



thats what i was thinking.

 

[BlinkBoy]

By the way guys, I still need judges.

need judges? I'll do it, but I'm an Evil one, >.

 

[Mr. Bob]

need judges? I'll do it, but I'm an Evil one, >.

Oh no. D: I'm in trouble now.

 

[skrab]

OMG OMG ^^ go go go!!!

 

[Mechanical Man]

Oh no. D: I'm in trouble now.

Not really. The most strict teachers (to you) are then more biased for you in the end.

 

[Pyritie]

need judges? I'll do it, but I'm an Evil one, >.

Critical judges are always better than praisy judges. >:3

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Well, first of, I wanted to use IG textures (and I started the wrap with it) but I really wanted to build my own texture.

But if you think it'll be better, i'll do so.

by the way, the ground is going to change of course. i didn't work on it yet.

 

[s4nji]

After waves of school tests, I decided to change my entry model, herez WIP, I must do it all in around 15 days!
It's Called Zerg Lair

 

[HappyTauren]

wireframe plz

 

[s4nji]

wireframe plz

Here it iz

 

[HappyTauren]

Man, that's horrible, too many segments on... just everything, you need to cut it down, a lot.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Yeah, instead you could have easily getting away with having each spiked shapes 4 sides, or maybe even 3 sides.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

cant wait to see it textured s4nji. after you reduce the polys that is

 

[Xatoga]

Well, I think I'm going to attempt a custom skin for this thing. I tried fitting it to some ingame texture, but unless anyone has a suggestion for another suitable one to try, this is how it's looking now, with Northrend Doodad texture. I didnt get to unwrapping all of it onto it yet, but see for yourself how 'ugh' it looks.

 

[frostwhisper]

The ingames look messy. Go custom.
You have the power, I suggest you use it to accomplish your concept fully.

 

[Xatoga]

Well I decided to finish unwrapping it to that, in case i get lazy or my failskills in texturing defeat me. It looks adequate, but I'll be attempting a custom skin preferably.

 

[frostwhisper]

It's messy and stretched. I'd place my bet on your "failskills".

 

[HappyTauren]

Xatoga, we both know you can do better than this D:

 

[syltman]

Well, first of, I wanted to use IG textures (and I started the wrap with it) but I really wanted to build my own texture.

But if you think it'll be better, i'll do so.

by the way, the ground is going to change of course. i didn't work on it yet.

Don't add a ground to it, I think it'll look dumb (Unless... it's like metal floor)

 

[Burning_Dragoon5]

Don't add a ground to it, I think it'll look dumb (Unless... it's like metal floor)

I did just remember this, in fact. it doesn't need a ground

 

[s4nji]

New WIP.
Just spamming. XD

Dude, you need to reduce that by A LOT

 

[TDR]

I could be the second judge. Pyritie don't forget to remind me about this when the time comes via steam please, 'cause I'm not that active around here anymore.

 

[skrab]

Holy shit D:

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yep. And the shit is that I made almost no progress D: I was just experimenting with the roof, but it doesn't seem to be that good. And I still have no idea about birth animation, it was supposed to be also some special effect, but I sux at them D:

Will do.

 

[TDR]

Thanks

 

[skrab]

Here is the WIP of my barracks.
Thats just a basic shape now but i will add more stuff later.

I...NEED...MORE POLYGON-s!!!

 

[frostwhisper]

Pretty nice actually.

 

[HappyTauren]

Unwrap is flawless, It's just that it's sorta too monotone. but I guess you can get around that if you add more stuff.

thats an F-ing Zerg Lair

 

[Xatoga]

Well, hatchery, really. Which is what he said... so I dunno your point.

But you totally need to work on the wireframe of that thing.

 

[Just_Spectating]

well it's not creative. .

 

[Dionesiist]

Skrab, that's pretty badass.

 

[s4nji]

Nah, you discovered it , but I still wanna make it, but Three tiers + particles + some more things...
--Edit--
After remaking some parts, my model's faces and vertices reduced by around 1000!

 

[skrab]

Here is the second version of my barracks.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Bloody hell, Skrab! That's awsome! I think I know where to put my vote
Looks way better now that you added some more variation to the skin (Although the floor on the top of the walls, why would it be wood? )

 

[skrab]

Although the floor on the top of the walls, why would it be wood?

I think it looks better then the stone and i really like it D:

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Then keep it wood It looks good either way ^^

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

say... 4600 poly isnt disqualified right...?
Edit: 3800 now.

 

[skrab]

~3000 is ok if the building has 2 upgrades

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

more tier= more anim. (-_- ) and here i was thinking i could get away with 4 anims

 

[Traxamillion]

Wow Skrab that is fucking sexy.

 

[BlinkBoy]

Critical judges are always better than praisy judges. >:3

okay, call me when you need me then.
