Modeling Contest #13 - Buildings

[Thrikodius]

I guess this is my final Submission.

Model Info

Name: Shrine of the Deathwalker View attachment Shrine3.mdx
Poly Count: 1620
File Size: Aprox. 97 Kb

Story

You might find out if you play my campaign (if I finish it)

Animations

This is the first time I attempt serious animating so they are pretty simple.

Birth

The shrine rises from the ground, forming a stair along the way. Once it's risen the pool is filled with burning lava and then the bones on the sides grow out. At the end the skull rises from the pool of lava.

Stand Portrait

Simply an animation where the model stands still.

Stand Work

The skulls speaks a spell, quite to himself to summon whatever dreadfull creature he intends to unleash upon the world.

Attack

The Shrine channels flames through the four bones around the pool to join at a specific point where they form a fireball that is launched toward a nearby enemy.

Death

Three somewhat massive explotions burst out of the Shrine, forcing the skull to withdraw in pain. Once the shrine has lost it's only mind it sinks into the ground and the bones decay.

Decay

The Bones continue to twist and deform untill they are no longer existing.

Screenshot

EDIT: I changed the texture on the bones and added Team Color on them. shamanyouranus asked me to so that he could aprove the model in the model section. I think it looks more evil now so I go with it.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

well here is my ~3800 poly of joy.

Shrine of Khorne
Khorne is the bloodthirsty god of war from WH40k


the only animation that i really put detail to was death upgrade second. others are pretty bleugh!!!
i think i will just scrap the rest of the anim, redeo another birth anim and upload it in the model section

View attachment Shrine of Khorne.rar

the good thing is that the file size is mild because i used ingame textures. the bad news is that it is as mentioned around 3800 polys but as far as i know the amount of polys does not significantly affect the game performance.

i had a more interesting design but it required me to use animated texture (which i dont know how to)

 

[skrab]

I suggest you to delete the polygons under the stack of skulls :/

EDIT: And also make the parts that are under the ground invisible until the upgrade starts.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

*sigh. i really didnt want to delete polygon by polygon but if you say so...

 

[Linaze]

Awesome models.
(The one who makes a wc2 building get's a kiss.)

 

[FrIkY]

Yes, now give me a kiss?

 

[Pyritie]

Don't forget to PM me with your submissions, everyone. Easier to keep track of people that way. (Although yes I will do a run-through of the thread when it's done)

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yes, now give me a kiss?

Model of that building already exists...

 

[Thrikodius]

Model of that building already exists...

It was a joke. Check the post above the one you quoted.

 

[skrab]

Here is the picture of how should the birth(second) structure look like.

 

[Mechanical Man]

If skrab can post screenshot about birth animations, I guess I can do it too.

I know it's crappy, but this is my first birth animation with particles and special effect and I'm not good with them :/ Also it's not good as unanimated.

 

[Linaze]

Yes, now give me a kiss?

That's a sprite, not a model.

Anyways, so far it looks good to me Mechanical Man.

 

[Ghost765]

wahoo...shrine of khorne.

 

[skrab]

Ok here is the model with the birth animation.
I'm still working on it

 

[Mr. Bob]

I am guessing that either skrab or HT are going to win.

I have lost all hope. D;

 

[Mechanical Man]

skrab's barracks reminds me the one from Armies of Exigo

 

[Dionesiist]

You played that game? :O

 

[frostwhisper]

Awesome game, actually.

 

[skrab]

Yes. It is way better then Wc3 but the online servers were shotdown in 2006.

 

[FrIkY]

That's a sprite, not a model.

Anyways, so far it looks good to me Mechanical Man.

no kiss then... Uh... anyway. Looking good so far, guys! I like what you made skrab, and you too Mechanical Man!

 

[HappyTauren]

Damn, skrab, that birth animation JUST MIGHT win my vote for you
mechanical man: actually, those particles aren't that bad.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Meh, this is what I created so far, not sure if finished, I know is pretty crappy, but that's because the boss wasn't avalaible much, so I made on my way. I know that hat wanker awesome guy will go like 'no, no, not like that, it's fugly and doesn't fit', so I will probably have to work further on it. Also the name it isn't final, it will be chosen by him.

 

[Linaze]

I don't think it's bad at all Mechanical Man, I think it's quite good, actually.

 

[skrab]

The birth animations is too fast MM. I think it must be 60 seconds from frame 10 to 1810. Yours is like 20 seconds.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Meh, then the track below becomes too zoomed out and is hard to work with keys then. Maybe I will fix that later, plenty of time left.

 

[HappyTauren]

It doesn't matter, wc3 will scale it itself. Anyway, it's actually looking quite awesome. The particles are fine, though not totally sexy.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Well, it's my first model where I focused more on the particles. Until now I was making mostly death explosions of the vehicles and buildings, and smoke from guns.

 

[skrab]

Almost done D:

 

[s4nji]

My exams made me have no time for my model, so I'm out of this contest, Good Luck Everybody, it seems that HappyTauren or skrab is going to win...

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Pyramid Head, I think you could shorten the middle part of the Khorne Symbol. Looks too long.

 

[Pyritie]

Nine days left!

 

[Mechanical Man]

Thats plenty of time.

 

[NiX_GR_]

i'm in(kinda late though )

 

[skrab]

i'm in(kinda late though )

No WIP?


Is there anything i should fix, add or remove on my model?

 

[Pyritie]

Eh, those statues in the front look kinda out of place. They're a different color than the castle walls. Would coloring those geosets do anything?

 

[NiX_GR_]

WiP

just started mine, got a WiP image, i got lot more stuff to add

 

[Avator]

A naga Moon Well on Guard Tower poles?

 

[s4nji]

Nix GR, You should change the texture on the poles to Naga-like texture, And I think, that's rly cool if u add something unique, but, you must do it in 4 days ^^

 

[NiX_GR_]

A naga Moon Well on Guard Tower poles?

don't worry got a lot of changes to make




btw does anyone know the path of sunken ruins doodads cuz i'm having a bit of trouble finding them XD

They're in wc3x.mpq.

Also you might want to merge your posts.

thanks, and sorry for double-posting

 

[Pyritie]

[frostwhisper]

Skrab's entry is awesome model-wise, yet the textures DO NOT work with each other.

 

[Xatoga]

Yeah, seeing it in game now, Skrab, I'd suggest you use the town hall or barracks texture. The bluish bricks font really work.

 

[NiX_GR_]

2nd WiP

almost done

 

[HappyTauren]

Egh, it sucks, looks like you just jammed different shit into one model.

 

[frostwhisper]

This particle action is way to intense.
+ the well looked better when it didn't have a giant box on top.

 

[Traxamillion]

Nix you have way too much shit crammed together.

 

[Thrikodius]

This particle action is way to intense.
+ the well looked better when it didn't have a giant box on top.

Double post.

And also I kind off agree. With that glow on the bottom it looks like birth anim. And replace the box with some kind of Murloc Hut roof.

 

[skrab]

The towers look good with garrison texture but the gateway sux :/
Damn i'll have to make a new mesh..

 

[HappyTauren]

just fix the unwrap

 

[NiX_GR_]

Nix you have way too much shit crammed together.

.. you're right, fuck it, it also doesn't seems to work in-game(waste of time), even though everything looked ok in Magos' Editor
