Modeling Contest #15 - Colossus

[Deolrin]

Mr.Bob, it doesn't matter. You can still make a bone that will be the parent of all other bones, if you know what that means. Just create a new bone in Magos and move all of the other bones to the right.

Link fails on me.. check if broken.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Hmmm, nice, but it would be cooler to see a massive kohpesh... or a sythe... and it the forward bit the handle or a hand guard, if itsa handle thats bad. i swordfight IRL, and that would be impossible to use, its too imbalanced.

My colossus is so awesome that it can still use it.

Doesn't looks so Egyptian... Tried making an ankh kinda thing?

Erm...did I say it's a...weapon?
_{Ankh would suck as weapon, I already have the cane to spell anims}

Oh yeah..lol I forgot about that.

Whats funny is, in the time spent before I checked this, I reanimated it in about 30 minutes. It's alot better than the original even now. ;D Thanks though!

I'll submit it tonight.

Now thats one neatly nasty texture in the good way.

 

[Mr. Bob]

"Little Bobby"

K, here it is. My fourth model for this bloody compo. -.-

I think the main reason I scored here more than the others, is because I payed more attention to texture, animation, and general node work. I didn't overdo the mesh this time.

It's a transforming robot.....thing...

BTW, archy, I did the particles especially for you. :3

EDIT: The official name for the model is "Little Bobby" btw.

UPDATE: Added some fire to the death.

 

[Rizz_Boomer]

reminds me in the Technodrome (The base of Craine from the good old "Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles"), nice one Bob!

How good are the particles in your opinion? I have been trying to improve. D:

Looks good so far although I dunno how well your model will fit into WC3. Your texturing style is quite different.

 

[Deolrin]

Mr. Bob, Stand and Walk animations are awfully static. You could at least make it hover, and perhaps animate the Team Colored energy things, so they would scale up\down or something. Maybe even make an animated texture. The morph animations, the Spell Throw and the mesh is really awesome, however.

Trouble is, the thing is so large, when I do stuff like that, it makes it look stupid. D: I may add some ribbons and exhaust effects though. : )

But yeah, your right, it looks kinda bland atm.

 

[Pyritie]

Extended for two weeks

 

[Mr. Bob]

Extended for two weeks

FOR THE RECORD

I finished on time 4 TIMES!

Just so you know.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Extended for two weeks

yay.

Now me will has time 2 finish it gewd.

 

[jojomondag]

Uglug texture

Texturing took alot longer then i anticipated, What one doesent do often he forgets. Anyhow i guess i have about 2 hours left on texturing. Whats bad is that my uws are fucked up So the placment is not as i anticipated, soo will have to unwrap again.

 

[HappyCockroach]

jojomondag, pretty epic, I must say.

One weapon to go. (the proportions on this picture may be wrong and the sword isn't final)

 

[jojomondag]

Nice

The same goes to you! Loving the weapons even though i liked the sword before it looks better now, I still have to figure out what kind of weapon my character will have. Soo far ive only come up with the mighty fart attack wich is more of a spell then a weapon

greets/jojo

Thanks! Your colossus is more likely to wield a massive club or maybe unarmed... An axe could look good too, other than that, whether something exotic and original or unarmed...

 

[RED BARON]

Nah - An axe would not be common for such a beast. I would suggest I giant stone club.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i finished all my animation except one of the global animation is FUBAR for some unknown reason. the next 2 weeks will be fixing that thing

@ jojo: ccant you dupliacte textures for your arms? it looks like a wastee of space just doubling them

 

[Mulgrim]

how the hell do you people model so fast? (mr bob specially)

tips please

 

[Pyritie]

tips please

Practice ;D

 

[Mulgrim]

i can get a mesh done good... it's just how long it takes that's annoying, i don't take like 6 months but i'll take 4 weeks tops on a scatch model (I've never done a model-edit, all scratch models)

 

[Pyritie]

Yeah, if you don't model very often you tend to do it much slower than people who do it all the time. That's normal

 

[Mulgrim]

i need more time -.-" thx though

 

[Mr. Bob]

tips please

Get the concept in your head BEFORE you start. For instance, I think of a concept gradually at work all day, then come home and spend an hour making it.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

we work on the models 24/7
i personally concept while i am eating, resting, sleeping etc and modell whenever i am not playing games on the com

 

[Mulgrim]

.. i never thought of that ..

 

[HappyCockroach]

Weapon set finished:

egyptian cane - kama adaptation - egyptian scimitar - cerimonial axe

eet weeldz 'em

 

[D a w n]

they look a bit too small for my taste :>

 

[RED BARON]

Weapon set finished:

I would prefer the cane to be in a more important position, for some reason that would just appear more "real" to me.. Maybe also a bit larger.

 

[Crazed_seal2]

Looks good Happy cockroach, but that cane looks like a candy cane. Yummy...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Yeah, if you don't model very often you tend to do it much slower than people who do it all the time. That's normal

god, dont i know it :/ i havent made a model in forever and it is taking me a lifetime to work on this damn thing

D: shit you concept fast. Ive been trying to make a concept for weeks now, and i only have a partial. its easy to think of "general" concepts (like weapons or armor pieces) but its a TOTAL bitch to get everything to fit together snug and proportionate .....

anywho... HOPEFULLY i will have a WIP of the UVed and textured mesh by this weekend

 

[Mr. Bob]

To tell you the truth, the fact that there are four different weapons, ruins the model. If every hand had a sword, it would be awesome.

Here's a good example.

Plus, the weapons are all too small.

I thought so too.. but let's see how it turns out after it's animated...

 

[Deolrin]

The cane, kama and axe are too small, and would look better if he'd hold them about in the middle of the handle, and the cane almost at the very top of the handle.

 

[RED BARON]

I thought so too.. but let's see how it turns out after it's animated...

You could make them as attachments Maybe.

 

[HailFireer]

You have to release Egyptian scimitar as attachment, just have to!!

And I think him having 4 of thos scimis would be best.

 

[HappyCockroach]

yeah, I'm gonna give him 4 scimitars. the kama will be like a garment on his waist.

and ill put that fucking cane inside his asshole.

 

[tee.dubs]

like a second colourful tail.

 

[HappyCockroach]

like a second colourful tail.

/me feels better now for mistreating that bastard.

 

[Mulgrim]

Lmao, I had to give him rep! he deserved it!

 

[RED BARON]

/me feels better now for mistreating that bastard.

Weirdly enough it kinda fits - Maybe due to the tail..

 

[jojomondag]

Uglug quick turnaround

Almost fininshed with the base texture wee.

http://www.vimeo.com/7992508

thx for the tip Pyramidhe@d stupid of me too not think of that
But i had too do alot of extrawork to get the texture the way i whanted with the new uw, Anyhow
I found an excellent way too fix seam issues so it was all worth it!

Greets/jojo

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Holy shit! Talents like you come out of nowhere, jojo. That's a very impressive unwrap you're working on.
It's a shame it's too detailed for Warcraft III though.


Anyway, finished texturing the mouth and teeth and included a pic of the furglewurg with and without his teeth. Please bear with the white borders on the teeth. It will be alphaed out when the model will be exported.

And yes, he has a huge uvula.

Next is rigging and animating it.
I'll try to learn from BlinkBoy's in-deph animation tutorial instead of using bipeds first.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Btw guys, I updated the model and added some fire to the death anim.
