Modeling Contest #16 - Poll

[HappyCockroach]

How would you feel about me giving it a bit of a judge?

I'd say yes, but anarchy would probably like to know your judging skills before saying so rightaway.

 

[Linaze]

The only one that fits wc3 really well is deolrin's, although I wasn't too fond of some of the anims.
Frank's looks amazing, but it's "just another tank", and not very creative.
Pyramid's looks amazing, is pretty creative, and well, the best tank made for this contest, in my opinion.

 

[RED BARON]

Agreed - And makes me wonder how I ended up voting for Kitabatake's which would actually be my second choice, not the first..

Anyway:

Voted for Kitabatake's due to how different it is and the neatly made animations that allows the user to do a lot of different things. Its also drastically different from the rest and is very cute. So I voted for it, then I noticed that I had forgotten Pyramid's tank So actually I would have voted for his instead due to his great animations and the use of the small pilot to show the different types of animations. The way he leans forward when he stands ready is great!

Good work And hope that Pyramid and Kitabatake will score a lot more points for their models as they really deserve it.

(Last off-topic post, i promise): erm, that tank is the tank you control. One of the enemy tanks looks like yours. If you don't know it, don't worry. It's probably very hard to find these days, never took off big because it had no online multiplayer.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

(off topic) i saw some gameplay on youtube, it looked like a kickass game, flying to tank RTS gameplay, woah, almost ahead of its time.

(on topic) Oh, sorry time-to-die, i guess i forgot yours too , im use to having DvO pull up all the contestants

 

[real138]

wow thats a little unfair to forgot 2 contestants...
I'm not accusing you of doing it increases your chances of winning but someone could take it that way make sure next time cuz i know that would piss me of if i worked on somethings for hours upon hours and then someone forgets to include me in the contest...

 

[kola]

i voted for prowler looks awesome. but the one of general frank is rly rly awesome too... rly didnt know what one to vote.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Lol. To bad for time-to-die. D: He now has to get his votes when there have already been a hundred or more cast.

 

[Billy the Cat]

I went for Kitabatake because I like original concepts and because he had some delay with the votes.

Frank's looks amazing, but it's "just another tank", and not very creative.
Pyramid's looks amazing, is pretty creative, and well, the best tank made for this contest, in my opinion.

Agreed with this although to me it felt like Kitabatake's tank would be a bit more fitting with the Warcraft style.

Anarchianbedlam's tank is still great, but I had to choose.

 

[Scythy Dervish]

[X] Chilla Killa
because I like the theme (and can use it in my actuall map ^^)

 

[VoidLordXtreme]

isnt it a bit unfair, that Time-to-die's TTDTank wasnt on the poll, when the poll was opened ? :/

whatever ...

 

[Traxamillion]

neither was Kita's

 

[D a w n]

voted for PyramidHe@d because his one was creative, well made and simply awesome

 

[moyackx]

I've voted for debode, I liked it alot. The others are good too but I feel this one fits pretty well in WC3 style.

 

[Time-to-die]

isnt it a bit unfair, that Time-to-die's TTDTank wasnt on the poll, when the poll was opened ? :/

whatever ...

Yeah, apparently it was because he figured it looked like a tree and not a tank.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

:/ well, i didnt even realize that it was your final submission... again.... sorry man

 

[Mog_Noob]

Ursa major and prowler are by far the best two.

 

[BanananaHead]

My vote would have to go to anarchianbedlam... though i'll admit it was a 1 hour long debate between myself and I for whether to vote for Kitabatake, General Frank or anarchianbedlam... Within the first 20 minutes Kitabatake's was eliminated due to that his tank seemed TOO green, tanks are combat vehicles not luxury cars (not attempting to be too harsh) and because like he said so himself, it was unpolished, i personally thought the texture could have used a bit more golden swirls, almost blood/high elfish but w/e... Now the hard part began between General Frank and anarchianbedlam with both highly elaborate and nicely designed textures that nicely match up with the models... Based on the screenshots i would've picked General Frank's model, BUT... when i downloaded them to test them out, i found out that General Frank's tank's walk animation was more realistic and well (i'll hate myself later on for saying but...) bland for a tank model in a contest, I was very impressed by anarchianbedlam's nice job on the walk animation for his model. Both modelers were equal in the weapons array that both tanks had, but still, it all came down to the descriptions, I think I was able to understand anarchianbedlam's description more than General Frank's, due to that I for one (A) Love the Warcraft Lore (B) Have absolutely no idea what the United Federal Territories are/is... and (C) anarchianbedlam was all happy and joyous and basically had more humor in his post like with the "Spider Tanks Are Fun!" picture and just basic lol-ness...Good job to all the entries, but again, my vote goes to anarchianbedlam.

 

[Devine]

AAAARG.
I can't decide.
Either pyramidhe@d, Anarchiam or GeneralFrank.
Their entries were all awesome.
My vote goes to pyramidhe@d for his awesome animations, nice concept and mesh.

 

[thisruoy]

my vote for pyrimadh@t because its awesome.

 

[chilla_killa]

Ya 3 votes
lol
time to die had a tank, too?

EDIT:
I tested it ingame ^^
Now it reminds me of a cheat for Age of Empires 1, where composit archers are tarning as trees.
dark rain ftw

 

[real138]

haha i think the tank cheat in Age of empires 2 was better but i remember that one i think chilla.

 

[Windu]

Vote for the goblin tank idea of ikillforyou!

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

It was hard to decide between GF and Anarchianbedlam. But for some reason i like Anarchianbedlam more, so i voted for him. They are both so awesome!

 

[-Grendel]

look like Prowler and Ursa have a close fight

 

[Frunzbob]

that was really hard to decide ... the tanks look great!

 

[Ghost765]

reason i didnt go for franks is cause his tanks are starting to look all the same. he hasnt done anything really different in awhile.

Pyramidhe@d's was nice, very cool animations, and a nice...ghetto/worn down look i suppose. very ork

Anarchian's was cool too, there are some things i personally dont like, but overall the animations were cool, and the mesh simple but elegant.

 

[Teaspoon]

Bah I can't watch :S 46-46 for frank and arch
gotta agree with you ghost and I hope that archian will win

 

[lateris]

I looked at all the tanks. The most interesting one for me was Kitabatake's.

 

[TDR]

General Frank. If anarchianbedlam's had better textures, I would have voted for him. I know you went for in-game textures, and that is a plus of course when it comes to map size, but it looks too bland. Good work nonetheless.

 

[Ghost765]

huh? the textures look rather nice imo. a nice change from the usual overused tinker texture.

 

[General Frank]

Over-using something does not really matter, because how you utilize it is that what counts. Also, I don't think most people can do it better.

Agreed, and after all there is a reason why tinker teuxture is used by many. It kicks ass.

 

[Dr. House]

and my vote go's to...... Anarchianbedlam

 

[Kam]

Voted for Frank... Anarchianbedlam's needs a better skin, more wood and evidence of the steam power goblins use - I imagine it as a goblin contraption.

 

[GoblinShoD]

My vote has to go for Anarchianbedlam's, thought his work was the best. Liked Kitabatake's a lot aswell. Congratulations to the winner, whoever it will be nonetheless!

 

[ikillforeyou]

Voted for Frank... Anarchianbedlam's needs a better skin, more wood and evidence of the steam power goblins use - I imagine it as a goblin contraption.

Um, anarchain's was gnome, not goblin, and that's what the steam vents and pistons are for...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Well... Gnome/dwarf... but just because its using the goblin amo dump texture doesnt mean that it has to be goblin.... in fact, there were no requirements that it had to be based on a wc3 race at all... it could be modern warfare or whatever.

 

[Mr. Bob]

I guess that means my tank is based on orc battleships...

 

[Kam]

It's a personal opinion, not a statement of fact. In my mind it resembles somethings Goblins would make. It's an excellent model none the less, I just felt the skin needed some work.

If you could make a skin like Infinitynexus's for this it would be amazing.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

lol, if i could have i would have.... not everyone is as multi-talented as infinitynexus

 

[Alfagar]

Woah, there's a load of some fine tanks

 

[Mr. Bob]

We should all sit down and take a texturing class. That would be awesome...

EDIT: Btw, archy, you are very multi-skilled. You modeled it, rigged it, animated it, and did the effects. Those are actually 4 different professions!

 

[Razosh]

Mr.Bobs model is just so awsome it´s unlike anything I´ve ever seen and he have really thought about every litle detail. Tho I cant really see why so many players voted for the Prowler it´s like a star wars copy and he havent put verry much time on the details.

The prowler has quite a bit of detail.

The reason mine sucks is because, while yes the detail is incredible, none of it is visible. The prowler's is all visible. I just have a nasty habit of making lots of little invisible details that are only seen in an FPS or something. Plus, mine has very little animation. The only issue I have with the prowler is the texture.

Glad you like it though!

 

[buraxia3]

anarchianbedlam's tank is the best! i vote you

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

.... i would also like to encourage voters to look at the entries ingame... lol, i worked so hard making sure that mine didnt have any glitches ( like my Odin did xD rofl )

which things are likely to cause glitches?
most times when I am trying to make something it is just bugged :/

you got my vote
and I think if Kitabatake didn't make a tank with legs you would have won for sure
however his tank is awesome on a different level
maybe I would have voted for him if it was a nice day with all green grass on the ground with the sun shining down on it from the blue sky x)
I also like Debode's Infernal Behemoth and Pyramidhe@d's Kerberos Tank a lot but there was just one vote to spend

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Well you have to make sure that your model has collision shapes and that you calculate extents, otherwise it will be unclickable ingame. Or you have to make sure that your animations have beginning and ending keyframes, otherwise the animations wont play properly... etc etc

 

[InStars]

Ursa Major FTW!

...cuz its major...

 

[Dentothor]

prowler fer shur. i loved GF's quality, but it lacked the creativity that arch had.
