Modeling Contest #15 - Colossus

[Slaydon]

Guys, ill actually enter, i got a head wip, no wrap there yet.

I think i will make some sort of Mecha Gnome Robot, wich is a giant thing ;P

 

[HappyCockroach]

lol Slaydon, right now it is just a deformed sphere, as far as I can guess. Good luck, though.

I guess I'm gonna make an alternate form of my model. A statue. When the statue falls apart, the boss comes from its inside.

Mesh finished. Is 1098 polies too much?

 

[Mulgrim]

can we add sound files too?

 

[HappyCockroach]

Yeah. There's no criterium for filesize, by the way.

 

[Mulgrim]

cool thanks, i'll have WIP's soon, I think

 

[Slaydon]

/me wants my MIlkshape

Do you think i got a chance? xD

 

[Pyritie]

Probably not but it's worth a shot anyway

 

[Slaydon]

mesh done, now how to wrap in Gmax

and its a Giant robot with the rings going up and down, the face will be two windows. ;D

 

[chilla_killa]

Oh that's to high poly (for wc3).
You could have made the spheres and rings with much less polies.
But it looks cool.

 

[Mulgrim]

it reminds me of a toy i had when i was a young lad.

this contest is all about high polies

 

[Slaydon]

someone know how to color? and do i need to animate?

 

[Mulgrim]

color the mesh? or you mean add texture?

 

[Pyritie]

Those colors aren't visible in WC3, you know. It'll just replace them with either team color or a completely transparent texture.

As for animating, dex's script can't export animations correctly. So I'd suggest you either get milkshape or learn to use animtransfer.

What about BlinkBoy's NeoDex script? It works fine on current versions of 3DS max.

Oh right, forgot about that one

 

[Slaydon]

is there a program similar to Milkshape, only free? Im asking due Gmax is really hard, i cant manage to wrap

[Mulgrim]

well.. blender, but you need milkshape to turn it into mdx (not sure), and the interface will make you cry.

 

[skrab]

I cried.

 

[Slaydon]

but gmax is so cruel ;/. I wish i had Milkshape registrated

 

[Misha]

My answer :P

 

[Kuhneghetz]

..pic..

More like "DUUUUH!". xD

But yeah, the face looks kinda goofed for the moment.

 

[Pyritie]

I lol'd at the unwrap

 

[The World Is Flat]

Wow, OMG mr.bob that city is perfect for my map right now...

 

[Mulgrim]

My answer :P

;D

@Slaydon

milkshape isn't expensive, you could do some yard work in return

the clock is'a tickin'

 

[HappyCockroach]

I wanted it to look angry...I'll try to fix it.

I lol'd at the unwrap

really that bad?

 

[Kuhneghetz]

@Slaydon, your way to make models are too primitive as you've just created a bunch of spheres, streched the shapes and placed them together.
You should consider look at some basic modeling tutorials from the internet. Maybe this one can be helpful for instance.

@HapyCockroach, I think the spiritwolf texture would fit better due to having a more agressive face expression.

when i was done i (someone told me) that i can make my own poly's xD

 

[HappyCockroach]

I don't think I'll wrap the face over again. I'll try to fix this one and go for a more mysterious concept than an agressive one.

but starting from primitives isn't exactly bad (specially spheres) you just have to be good at it,

i don't like placing the verteces myself... but both techniques have to be combined.

I always start from boxes...

I tried to make a wrap to the chest with the Huntress skin, but...it's been turning out like this:

In case nothing better comes out, which looks better?

 

[Mulgrim]

-.- have some fun with polies for a while, i started from a sphere, divided all it's verteces into 4, then spherified it to have a curvy look, it feels good I tellz ye!

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Second. It has better chest structure.

 

[HailFireer]

I agree.

First one looks like lines on the stomach are going upwards, while on the second one side to side,which is more accurate (well it looks more accurate,cant say if it actually is.)

Chest wrap is awesome on second one if you ask me.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Second, hands down, looks so much more realistic...

 

[Deolrin]

Second. Oh, and, he'll have his mouth shut in the animations... Right?

 

[Pyritie]

Second!

 

[Slaydon]

Second he scares me

 

[Slaydon]

you know this is a collosal unit contest?

 

[ikillforeyou]

you dont think orbiting defense platforms are massive...? this is the size of a space station 0.0

 

[Slaydon]

i wonder how it would be using it as a unit,

 

[ikillforeyou]

Mr. bob's thing was a building, i figured i'd post this, it wont have a birth animation, planets will be able to train these, and they will orbit the planet, (They replace a moon, =P)

 

[Mulgrim]

oh lawd.

i just had a great idea, there should be a spin-off contest for this, for spell makers to give it abilities after it's done maybe a partnership, that would be epic.

 

[computerfreak154]

Colossal Models

Very good theme indeed I'm sure the models will be massively epic!! I am only able to create 3d models with milkshape I would appreciate it if somone could help me on how to animate it and skin it Anyways, good luck to all modders !!!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Wipzorz!

Hidden, massiev skreenie.

... seriously? Add some details, right now it's just terribly ugly.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

ROFL i just realized something. Slaydon has a point... how WOULD it be used as a unit? given the wc3 camera.... i dont think you could see the MAC from the wc3 perspective, that would mean that the planet is either fucking ridiculously huge... or the MAC is ridiculously close to the planet... and like... about to crash-land onto the surface, like a meteor or something. lulz... but i do like the idea... ive been a pretty avid Halo fan >.>_{i dont like a large portion of the fanbase... but i love the game/lore}

 

[Time-to-die]

I think I am going to enter this!

 

[ikillforeyou]

... seriously? Add some details, right now it's just terribly ugly.

Like what? i've added alot of pretty junk onto the barrel of the mac, i added a track for the slider to go up, and i fixed its plainness, i really dont see anything else i can do.

 

[Mulgrim]

make it more curvy, more polies, more effects too. maybe make it look like a space station

 

[chilla_killa]

It looks much more different in Halo, add much more detail, it may have MANY polies. And find better textures, or make a custom texture.
