Modeling Contest #14 - Morphing Units

[Pyramidhe@d]

maybe we should have chosen creeps... would have been all done over 2 weeks

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

RDZ, my only beef with it is in the textures and texture variation. The gun barrels are the same texture as the struts in between segments and the whole thing could use more lighting and shading.

If you saw the UV... Yeah. It's not really a "Warcraft" model. One day I will find an engine that does lighting properly and everything will be fine.

I'd like to see some lights or particle emitters, maybe. Is the alternate form going to have a Turret bone so the cannons can swivel like the ingame towers?

I always add a Bone_Turret. Even if there is no turret.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Do not tell me what you know that I can or cannot do. I will make my models as I see fit; you are quite welcome to make your models as you see fit.

And this is why I never post anything at the Hive. You're all too stuck up to understand that there is more to life than your own viewpoint, that other people might have completely different objectives from you. If I wanted to make a model covered in bullshit, don't you think that I would have done that?

Actually, don't answer that until you've pulled your head out of your arse.

Lol. Merely joking with you. Lighten up a bit. D:

 

[Mr. Bob]

Here it is.

I know, I know, the screeny is utter crap. Why? Because, I am not a damn photographer. Just download the model. THAT MEANS NOW.

Anyway, it has all the stuff it needs. So, I shall tell you what it is.

Basically, it is a building from the famed "Area-51". It is a warehouse that unleashes a large space machine of death and destruction!

Enjoy.

 

[wereguy2]

Wait, so when it unmorphs, the building will just appear?

 

[Misha]

Wait, so when it unmorphs, the building will just appear?

indeed? Owo also when it morphs back it crashes trough the sliding roof XD

EDIT: It is too static in the "attack alternate". can i recomend some turning around there as well?

 

[Mr. Bob]

Wait, so when it unmorphs, the building will just appear?

I only made the 'unmorph' because it was required.

 

[xp3r009]

Mr. Bob's model is great, with the connections between the building and the alternative. Excellent, I don't see anything wrong with it, so 5/5. Good combination with the building releasing out the UFO, unique model types I see.

Good with the way you morphed it, and the separation is great. Keep up the good work.

 

[Misha]

.. Yet the attack, at least, could use a lill spin

 

[Pyritie]

That's why we wanted smaller contest theme for this period.
Where everyone can join even with exams. But they picked the hardest theme ever where you have to make everything double mesh/animations/texture...

That's what you guys chose ;D

 

[skrab]

That's what you guys chose ;D

Heheh the guys who don't care about good grades. ;D
I'll see hmmm maybe i'll give it a shot D:

 

[Xatoga]

Has anyone suggested a werewolf or anything like that? Could be neat. I think I've developed Warcraft-apathy though, since every time I open a modeling program I give it about 5 minutes and then close it all up with no real progress.

 

[Kwah]

Has anyone suggested a werewolf or anything like that?

It's my plan, if I ever get 'round to it.

 

[Deolrin]

I wanted to make a vampire but I don't feel like making it anymore... +Some exams still left. So, I withdraw from this contest. Good luck all.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I'll do a kind of a 'Demon Huntress'. You'll get the concept better as i post wips...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Im working on a rather large model submission at the moment, I have the mesh done, and it just needs animation and particles, ill have WIP pictures up in a few days

 

[Xatoga]

I've started something and it's progressed a bit. I'll hopefully finish this. It's a goblin watchtower/mech.

 

[Hawkwing]

You know what would be awesome? A transformer-type model that turns into a Porta-Potty.

 

[Xatoga]

Starting to animate. It's a bitch...

 

[Mr. Bob]

You know what would be awesome? A transformer-type model that turns into a Porta-Potty.

Heck, that would be awesome....

Or how about, a tank/porta-potty. A machine the reigns sewage and destruction on all! LONG LIVE THE LORD OF THE POOP!

...

/me goes to make teh model...

[HappyCockroach]

Screw it. I didn't know that existed, but that's just a name coincidence, my idea is different...

 

[bigapple90]

just wanted to give you a heads up

 

[HappyCockroach]

It's ok. thanks

 

[HappyTauren]

I am joining and I will win, cause I am awesome

 

[Kwah]

i am joining and i will win, cause i am awesome :d

qft?

 

[Devine]

I am joining and I will win, cause I am awesome

But ... but ... but ... you were banned :'(
kay so I decided to make an organic unit.

 

[Mr. Bob]

I have joined and I will lose, cause I am noobish D;

 

[HappyTauren]

It seems this contest will fail D:

 

[skrab]

I hope so.
Maybe we'lll see only few noobish entry's just for award icons...

 

[RED BARON]

It seems this contest will fail D:

Why Seems like quite many joined and posted wip's.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Posting wips is easy. Animating and finalizing the model is hard.

 

[RED BARON]

Posting wips is easy. Animating and finalizing the model is hard.

I know, but still gives me the impression that people are working on it... and therefore that the contest haven't failed yet.

Yea post 1900...

 

[HappyTauren]

The fact there were no replies in about a week worried me.

 

[Pyritie]

Why the heck do people vote on themes they don't even like? D:

 

[Kwaliti]

Because they think that the theme is awesome, and then they realize "O SHI-- This is too hard!"

 

[Avator]

No, they think the theme is awesome and expect other people to make what they would like to see. They don't even want to join the contest, but only vote on what they want to see as result, even if the theme is ultra-high quality where even the finger nails are modelled, not skinned.

 

[RED BARON]

Agree.. A shame though.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

maybe no one replied in a week because they were working on their model >.>

i voted for morphing units, and im MAKING a morphing unit. I liked the theme i voted for and im glad that we are finally doing a morphing unit contest. Ya, its a lot of work, but the results will be fantastic.

..... well, im excited anyway ^^

 

[Mr. Bob]

Why the heck do people vote on themes they don't even like? D:

I submitted a model...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Morphing units?

I think this might be too much to ask.

First post of the thread.

Hate to say I told you so.

 

[Mr. Bob]

It isn't that bad... D:

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Morphing units?

I think this might be too much to ask.

Ugh, its summer, people who dont finish even a basic morphing unit haven't been working that long/hard on it then.

:/ My model is arguably, one of the the largest models for this competition (filesize and ingame) its pretty damn complex, 39 bones, 2700 polies.

Im pretty much halfway done, my mesh is done and 6 animations, i need 11 more animations and particles......
while i work on the model, im also talking on the chat

Im sorry if that was a long explanation but im trying to point out that 4 weeks is more than enough time to make a model. unless you are really lazy. come on, stop complaining about "how much work its going to be" and just do it.

I cant wait to see everyone's submission ^^

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

C'mon still 2 Weeks to go. so its still time to work on the models.

 

[Pyritie]

If people need extra time and can show that they actually have something so far, I'd be willing to extend this.

 

[Thrikodius]

Well maybe my timing is pretty shity but... My model failed. Both the mesh and skeleton became wrong so I couldn't make proper anims. And along with all the lesser fails that I thought didn't matter that much I just lost the will to keep working on the model.
So I decided to start over with something, not as advanced as my original idea but still really nice, and I'm sure that I WILL finish it before the deadline.
I'm making and undead Wraith Mage. Just as before the morphed form will be a secret untill submission.

 

[shamanyouranus]

That's what she said!


And to make this post not completely pointless, I think I may start working on my entry, just for shits and giggles.

 

[Pyritie]

By the way I'm still looking for judges.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

lol, if only i could judge...

nah, jk, but pyritie, just to let you know, i am working hard on my model. i dont think ill need an extension, but just a heads up that this contest isnt dead

and its not
< this model

_{its much beter}

 

[D a w n]

By the way I'm still looking for judges.

I don´t think I will be able to finish my model so you could consider me as a judge.

+ I should have vacations when the poll starts :>
