Modeling Contest 16 - TANKS

[D a w n]

yes, exactly. The animation should play in correct speed

 

[chilla_killa]

-.- Now it doesn't show anything in the decay anim. I guess I will have to remake it completely.
Does anybody how much 60000 frames in Milkshape 3D are?

 

[Slaydon]

ehr.. 60000 frames in milkshape is 60000 frames?

 

[chilla_killa]

Really funny, in Milkshape my death animation is 25 frames big.

 

[General Frank]

24 frames in Milkshape = 1000 frames (1000 frames = 1000 milliseconds = 1 second) in Magos.
Ergo: 60*24 = 1440 frames in MS.

 

[chilla_killa]

Thanks General Frank

 

[General Frank]

Thanks General Frank

My pleasure to help.

 

[chilla_killa]

It still doesn't show. I think I will have to leave the decay animation away.

 

[Pyritie]

:/ ikillforyou has asked me for help in fixing his decay animation. I am unsure though if i am allowed to actually help him in this matter seeing as it is a contest....

helping's fine as long as he does the work

 

[chilla_killa]

So has anyone an idea why my decay animation doesn't work?

 

[Time-to-die]

So why do you just have decay flesh and not decay bone? Not sure how milkshape works with animation stuff, but make sure you got your keyframes in the right places at the start and end of the animation.

 

[ikillforeyou]

Me and chilla will probably have to pull out, oh well.

=D

 

[Mr. Bob]

This is my official entry btw. To avoid confusion. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1517247-post391.html

I'll be back in a few days.

A tank has bones wtf?
Is the animation called decay flesh?
I played around with the names, because I thought it would fix it somehow

Unfortunately I will have to upload my tank without the decay animation.
But didn't anarchianbedlam say he could help us??

 

[Pyritie]

contest ends today guys! About 10 hours left!

 

[Latecat]

Hurry up!
Your running low on time!!

 

[chilla_killa]

Okay, here's my final entry:

Let me present:

The almighty Demon Tank, directly coming out of the Hell.
Created to burn out all life on earth!

The model uses only ingame textures, was created and custom animated in Milkshape 3D.
(thanks to PyramideHe@d, who once helped me learning animating)
Unfortunately the decay animation is bugged and I couldn't fix it.

It has only 684 polies and is 66 kb in file size.
If you use it in your map/campaign, a scaling of 2,0 is recommended.

If you want to test it ingame have a look at my Testmap.

Enough said! Here it is:

Demon Tank by chilla_killa

Enjoy it!

[ikillforeyou]

The Goblin Super heavy tank Revilgaz

Here's my final entry, i managed to fix decay and add particles to death (brazenly stolen from neutral building death) 87kb, fully animated/rigged, 2 different attack animations, 3 stand animations.

Fully optimized.

Story: Enginner gazolwe and his crew were in the midst of the 2nd war, and the hord was asking for more and more firepower, the enginner replied: "We'll give you the biggest gun on a vehicle you could dream of." And so, the Revilgaz was born.

Enginner gazolwe is currently working on extra turrets to be mounted on the sides of the tank.

I hope you like this tank. my first fully functional and finished animated model.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Ya, sorry, i meant to take a look at that decay animation chilla killa, but i haven't gotten a chance yet. right now im on a school computer. I wont be online again until much later tonight. Ill have to submit my own tank then.

Sorry i couldn't help in time :/

 

[chilla_killa]

No problem, it works without the decay animation, too.
I hope I don't lose to much points because of this

It is not needed anyway. But if you really need help just in time I can help.

Boah, that was complicated

anyway I'll present you: NE-Battletank_Nightsaber!

Don't have a interesting story though

-1324 Faces
-1923 Vertices

PS: I'm sorry, but I don't have an actual ingame screenshot, just one from the WE.

 

[Deolrin]

Wait - is an in-game screenshot a requirement for submission? I don't exactly have time to put something like that, but if it's a requirement, I'll do what I can as soon as possible.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Unless I magically finish the particles for the tank in the next 30 minutes, I won't make it.

C'est la vie.

Well it does say an in game shot, but apparently everyone believes model viewer is "in game"

 

[Sheephunter]

You WILL compleate it

 

[General Frank]

Well, debode pointed it out (rep added^^) and I don't think the judges won't be that strict just because it does not have an in-game screen-shot.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Nah, gave up, animation timers not doing what I want them to, leading to buggy death/decay animation and non working attack animation.

Animations are the reason I usually stop working on a model, though everything else is complete.

It's simply not worth the mindnumbingly painful experience it is to work with.

please make that model finished, it look just awesome!!!

 

[ikillforeyou]

3 hours left! (central time)

 

[anarchianbedlam]

EXPLOSM!

BEHOLD, MY TANK IS FINISHED

PICTURE

YEA! I was surprised that there were so few spider tanks in the contest and even fewer on the hive. Walking tanks are fun , but a bitch to animate ( *ಠ_ಠ) BUT! thanks to milkshape, i managed to make them mathematically perfect ! AAAANNNDDD, i even managed to make a missile model and a portrait model. First time I've actually made separate portrait model! \D)/ yay. Hope you guys like it, i had fun working on it.

Description

The Prowler is a marvel if dwarven and gnomish ingenuity, The main cannon is a Rail Gun powered by 2 Hellcat jet engines. The combined charge can fire off a 120mm ferric round at 1580 meters per second. The Rail gun does not need a shell of gunpowder to launch a round, and as such, the extra space lets the Prowler carry twice as many rounds as normal tanks. The Turret also carries an armament of ground-to-air missiles for anti-aircraft capabilities. The lower chassis houses 2 20mm Gatling guns. A v8 engine housed in the lower chassis works the hydraulic pumps that move the legs. and can walk as fast as 44mph

GASP, hidden credits. =o!

 

[Deolrin]

I totally forgot...

To thank General Frank and FrIKy - General Frank for throughout critique and help in the process of the making of the tank, and FrIkY for making the concept.

Good luck everyone!

No! You can't! You... you... you can't!
Oh damn... Your tank was amongst the best, I really waited for it.

 

[Piwlady]

I gotta say I love all those tanks :>

 

[General Frank]

Hmm, actually anarchian's model is 6 hours too late....

But who cares... some might do.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

? what do you mean 6 hours? i submitted it at 9:15, i had like.. 3 hours left

 

[Deolrin]

Actually... Four hours late.
The fact is that the deadline is 31st, 11:59 PM - GMT+0. You submitted today, 1st April, 04:15 AM GMT+0.

 

[General Frank]

debode is right.

 

[PROXY]

mhm, a bad day, really Infinitynexus stopped working on his one and anarchianbedlam submitted too late... bad, bad day

 

[chilla_killa]

I would say anarchianbedlam is out One place better for me
Little joke beside, I would say it's not a problem.
If my decay animation is no problem.

 

[Slaydon]

Guys, you cant expect ppl to wake up in the middle of the night and work on a model for this contest, i would say any GMT

 

[chilla_killa]

We can expect that 1 month time to work is enough to post the model in time and not on the last minute.

 

[shamanyouranus]

What, you mean like not procrastinating? Lol no

 

[Slaydon]

What, you mean like not procrastinating? Lol no

I dont know what that means, but i hope its good

[Infinitynexus]

Didn't actually stop working on it.

Took me like 8 hours of constant rage to finally fix the animation errors, so working on particles now.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Don't be gay, we always give extensions when people ask for. Better 6 hours late than waiting a week more.
shamanyouranus uploaded his entry late in the critter contest. I can recall some others too. There's no big deal about it.

 

[D a w n]

if wouldn't have made any extentions, then I would have already won 1-2 contests because I was the only one who finished in time.

I would say we accept anarchianbedlam's entry and maybe even Infinitynexus' if he finishes fast, because they worked hard for their models. At the end we are just an online community who does the contests for fun, to see how well we can stand against others etc and not for winning 50 rep and a contest icon.

What? You call me gay?
I didn't say we can't accept his late entry.
I said it's okay. You should chill and don't insult other people.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Chilla Killa, he wasnt insulting you.... in that contest it was more of a figure of speech as in "don't be ridiculous"....
