Modeling Contest 16 - TANKS

[Latecat]

Infinity, with texture it looks heck a LOT better! I like it

 

[chilla_killa]

The question is if all those High Quality and High Res models fit into the style of Warcraft 3!

 

[Ghost765]

@infinity

pretty nice tank, i could imagine it coming from a darker/gothic future setting. The texture is pretty awesome. Overall the tank has a nice feel.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Bob has my vote

 

[Mr. Bob]

Updated. Wheels are bigger now. And, there are particles on walk.

 

[ikillforeyou]

Hmm, could somone look at the tank and tell me why the attack one animation doesn't play ingame, and when it does, it doesn't do what it's supposed to?

 

[Time-to-die]

I didn't look at it, but it is possible that the start/end of your animation does not have a keyframe for all the bones that move.

 

[tee.dubs]

with all these entries, who'll be left to judge?

Lore, for those who are interested

The Ursa Major is the crown of super heavy tank development of the United Federal Territories. The Ursa Major, or internally named the X3, was spawned by the successful deployment and testing of the Kodiak Super Heavy Tank.

The Tank is equipped with the heaviest, most expensive and most modern armament seen in the battalions of the UFT. Ursa Major packs two super-heavy 155mm high velocity cannons with armour piercing shells, a twin linked pair of heavy barrage rocket pods and the newly developed fuel ejection system, primarily a heavy twin flame-thrower. The chassis of the tank is plated with the best composite armour plating available to the UFT. Being designed as a highly versatile super-heavy tank, two subsystems can me mounted on the two pond on the turret. Due to the new fusion engines the tank can reach very high speeds for a super-heavy class tank. The tank also features some of the best subsystems available in the galaxy, laser-guides, multi-purpose radar and diction systems and high intensity lights being only few of them.

In case of possible critical damage the tank will leave a wreckage which can, due to the high integrity of the tank's hull, be totally repaired and recovered.

Awesome model @ GF

 

[General Frank]

Awesome model @ GF

Thank you.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Lovely, just lovely!

 

[BlargHonk]

It's even Warcrafty, partially made of wood

 

[HappyCockroach]

If you guys want, I can help judging, since I gave up on my entry.

 

[Kitabatake]

Arrgh didn't have enough time to polish my model.
Anyway...

Beta030
The idea was to make something original that would stand out from other entries while still abiding by the contest rules.
That's why you won't find tinker textures, caterpillar tracks or plain-metal-tube-weapons from Beta.

- File size: 68kb
- Uses only in-game textures
- Has animations for:

• Stand (1, 2, 3)
• Walk
• Attack
• Death
• Decay
• Stand Alternate (dead)
• Stand Channel (regenerating)
• Birth (rises up from from dead)
• Spell (melee attack: stabs with a leg)

In game screenshot

The animated images below are slightly different from the current version.
(I had to remove a texture animation from one of the material layers since it was displayed incorrectly in game)

 

[Paladon]

I like it, it's original and quite inspirational.

 

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Superb Animations!
The last one is cool

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Kerberos Tank

well...its a tank with 3 barrels of cannon.
View attachment Keberos.rar

yeah...finished ages ago but only uploaded now cos i am spiteful.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Quality wise, Pyramid's entry is by far the best.

Reminds me quite a bit of Borderlands, which is nice.

 

[The Panda]

Nice entry's guys.

 

[Ghost765]

reminds me of that one DoW1 ork vehicle... the one with rocket launchers that always knocked your troops around. so annoying. pretty cool tank though, nice animations, i like the searchlight one, could be used to reveal invisible units or something i suppose.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Yes indeed, clever little animations.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

christ, everyone has absolutely superb entries. I dont even stand a chance :O

incredible work

 

[Celaquil]

Damn Pyra, I liked your first WIP and I fucking love the outcome.

Inovative, to say the least. Good work.

But I cannot leave Kitabatake's model out in the dark, as it looks highly inovative and well made.
Same DOES go for nearly all entries though.

 

[chilla_killa]

OMG my decay animation is screwed up.
Anyone knows how to fix it?

BTW: Awesome entries of all of you. The standard is very high. I don't know wether I can hold on with you all.
But making my model was very useful for me. I practised a lot animating and I become better and better.

 

[HappyCockroach]

This tutorial shall help you.

 

[chilla_killa]

Isn't that just only for Blizzard animations?
Also I don't have any Geoset Animations.
But thanks anyway, I learned something new.

 

[Mr. Bob]

haha what the heck...

At first I was like "Yay I'm going to win!"

Infinity comes and then I was like "second is good enough."

Then GF bursts in with this uber wc3ish tank of awesomeness, and I was like "3rd is ok too."

Here comes Kitabatake and I was like "crap then."

And finally pyra comes and then I was like "I really suck at this."

In like 5 days we get all of these AMAZING entires. Really spectacular work everybody. Archy did a great job at making this contest successful.

 

[Pyritie]

And here you guys said this was gonna be a crap contest

 

[chilla_killa]

Please help me with my decay animation.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Please help me with my decay animation.

You should really take a look at that tutorial. It IS what you're looking for. Sorry dude, but the thing is that this thread isn't most appropriate for that kind of discussion... =/

 

[chilla_killa]

Dude, how shall I edit the a Geoset Anim if I don't have any Geoset Anim?
I will just remake the animation.

 

[shamanyouranus]

Guys, I think we need an extension on this contest. By the time Wednesday comes around, I highly doubt any good models are going to be completed and submitted, so the crap models are going to win. I say an extension of three months is in order, so that I have time to finish my Tauren Totem Tank of Terror. Anarchian, hop to it.

lol. Very funny.

 

[Latecat]

If needed an extension, id recommend a week or 2.
Other than that:
Infinity: The tank is not much of 'new and creative' but oh le gawd - it looks stunning!
GFrank: WAY too awesome!
Kita: i cant find words good enough to describe :|
Pyra: LE GAWD! It looks neat!
Mr. Bob: dont worry, you have pretty good chances <.< atleast in my oppinion

The entries are just way too awesome. It will be hard to decide what wins.

LOL mare you were trolled.
He is just kidding.

 

[Latecat]

I know lets just continue now, shall we?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Hrmm... shamanyouranus has a point. No one has finished their tank yet and everyone is much too busy. Plus, i would like to see shamanyouranus' totem tank of tits.

The contest has been extended for 2 years

 

[DarkKnight]

2 years, are you being sarcastic?

 

[chilla_killa]

Noo he's dead serious!!!

 

[ikillforeyou]

D= i have one bug i need to work out, and maybe even a suitable death/decay anim. then i'll be GOOD TO GO!

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/modeling-animation-276/death-decay-not-working-162416/

 

[chilla_killa]

I have problems with my decay animation, too.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

:/ 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....

Pyritie, am i allowed to tell them how to fix their models? I doubt they would get the help they needed in time otherwise.....

Or we could extend this to the end of the weekend, so theyll have time to figure it out.

Otherwise we'll be out 2 contestants...

Pyritie, please advise

 

[chilla_killa]

Does the decay animation need a specific length? I heard 60000 frames. But how much is that in Milkshape 3D?

Why should helping be forbidden? It's not like you do a modelling job for us, or improving the mesh, it's only help to fix it on your own.

why don't you put it to the end of your animations list framewise and then just edit the lenght with magos model editor

 

[chilla_killa]

It's at the end of the animations.
How can I edit the lenghth with Magos Model Editor??

 

[D a w n]

1. take a look at the picture
2. go to node manager, open your root bone (which you should use to let the model sink down in the decay animation), go to translation and change the length of it from X-Y to X-X+60000

It is actually pretty much what Callahan tells in his Dissipate tutorial, only changed a bit to your needs

 

[Argus]

Also, and this is just a suggestion, you might want to consider merging the geosets. It would make geoset animation alot easier.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Everything is looking wonderful!

Though I would probably do a barrelroll down a cliff if Infinitynexus doesen't finish his ûbermegaawesome tank!

Okay this is what I've have:
Do I have to change the 10416 to 69166?
Do I have to change anything else?
