wow, HappyCockroach, looks lovely but why did you changed the old deathknight texture to this one?

I changed it because the other one was stretched in the middle, and this one is prettier, also

meh, I somehow liked the old one better, the tc looked so cool. also the BE_robe one is somehow too overused. but ofc. it's your choice and it also looks great with that texture

 

[Devine]

Yay, even more entries to judge!
I think we should make the prizes bigger or add a 4th and 5th place
Seriously.

 

[viiva]

So much awesome in this thread.

Jeah, I like the idea (Not that I think that I come at the 4th or 5h place but maybe )

 

[anarchianbedlam]

alright, about 15 more hours to go guys. hopefully happycockroach, debode, pyritie and I can finish in time.

Mr. Bob has offered to be the second judge.
If you want to judge you can still offer, 3 judges could be a "tie-breaker", but 2 are sufficient.

Good luck to all participants, it's coming right down to the wire here!

 

[shamanyouranus]

grammar nazi!

Spell alternate:

Good Idea.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I didn't finish yet and I got some things to do, for a few hours, I'll be back around 20:00 GMT - 3, what means 23:00 GMT, and I'll have just an hour to fix everything I want to
a couple-of-hours extension plox?

 

[Linaze]

Just because a contest gets many entrants doesn't mean we need to add more prizes.

 

[Just_Spectating]

but a full on tie would be awesome.


Cockroach, is the carpet TC? thats sweet

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Good Idea.

Terrible idea.

 

[Pyritie]

Is it okay if I post both the regular and the optimized version of my model? The optimization (hermite -> linear) made the stand 2 and death anims look reaaally bad compared to the unoptimized. But the optimized file size is less than 50% of the unoptimized.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Why? 5 is half the entries. And, 3 is already enough winners. Personally, I'd rather just have a first place winner.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I think we will stick with the criteria already put in place. Meaning 1 first place winner with his/her entry on the award icon and then the 50, 35, 20 rep respectively for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. That's what people signed up for.

As for the "small extension" for happycockroach... I personally would be ok with it. But i will leave this decision up to the other contestants.

Guys? I'd like an answer before the deadline D:

Feel free to post both, but only one of them will be judged, otherwise it's too confusing

 

[Pyritie]

okay I'll just post the unoptimized then since it looks a lot better imo

anyway my submission

Hoppip

Skiploom anims kept screwing up when I tried to export them and I never got around to the jumpluff ones. I did learn a ton when working on this though so the next model I do should be a lot better

 

[anarchianbedlam]

we have some excellent entries so far. It's an hour to the deadline. No one has really said anything so i'm just going to say that it's ok for happycockroach to submit his late. Unfortunately for me, i've been having some problems with milkshape exporting animations properly. I dont think i can finish within 50 minutes.

Is it ok with everyone else if i submit mine a couple hours late like Happycockroach?

 

[D a w n]

would be fine fr me, as I could update my model with a better blood effect uppon deth :>

 

[HailFireer]

Few hours won't change anything. Besides, judges wont star to judge the second deadline hits. At least I think they wont Oo

 

[HappyCockroach]

I actually didn't have time to finish. But I'm gonna post what I have:

(gonna edit this with better description later)

Edit by Pyritie: Please use this model instead. The original submission screwed up all lighting when used ingame and has since been fixed.

 

[Devine]

So this contest is extended until Anarchiambedlam finishes his model?
Why have a deadline at all? Why get a judge before the contest ends?
Why would I judge this on my vacation tomorrow (a week long) instead of doing that today at home?

 

[Mr. Bob]

Why have a deadline at all?

I honestly have no idea anymore...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Very well... i sense yet ANOTHER shitstorm building. heaven forbid this be a fun website. You know, because everyone here is here because they are forced to and we all have jobs on these forums etc. It's all srs bznus here on teh interwebs huh?

contest has ended. Milkshape fucked up my anims. it wasnt my fault but APPARENTLY there is nothing i can do about it.

I'm still going to try to finish my model. hopefully people will like it outside of the contest.

good luck to the contestants. I can take solace in the fact that we had some excellent submissions.

 

[Callahan]

Hey guys if there's an extension I might enter doing a model real quick.

Oh and happy coakroach you named the walk animation of your model "walk as fast as you like"
I don't think it would work in game you must add a "-" like this "walk - as fast as you like"

 

[shamanyouranus]

Also, when's the poll going up? Is did shit ova yet o' wat?

Oh yeah, and I totally want an extension so I can finish mine.

Hidden

Imma own all you fools

 

[Devine]

It's obviously our fault your model didn't get finished in time.
Finish the model in like 14 hours from now and I'll judge it.

 

[Deolrin]

I vote for extension until tomorrow

 

[PROXY]

Me too

 

[chilla_killa]

We already had a generous extension.
For anarchianbedlam it should be okay, because I know this problem and it's not his fault.
It's like a higher force.
He would have finished in time.

But for the others. You had A LOT of time. More then enough.
Maybe you should have worked in better time.

 

[Mr. Bob]

I don't care who's fault it is.

We have a deadline. I'm sick of this, "give everyone a chance" attitude. We might as well stop calling this a contest.

I don't find it fun at all when we extend this for slow modelers. Its unfair to people who actually finished. One week was fine because, we voted 3 days prior. But, seriously. More?

Plus, I may not be here for a while if we extend it anymore. Your limit for me being present is like 24 hours or so.

 

[Devine]

Plus, I may not be here for a while if we extend it anymore.

Same here. That's why I said 14h

 

[SuPa-]

Yeah I finished my model in like... two or three days. Peeps had plenty of time to complete their stuff

 

[HappyCockroach]

Well... anarchy and me asked for a couple of hours... I finished mine 1:40 GMT - 3, what's 4:40 GMT... but right now we're far beyond a couple of hours already.

Last contest the winner entry (anarchy's) was uploaded a 'couple of hours' later too, 4 hours later... But if it's for the contest's fairness, I may withdraw my entry and we just count those who finished in time... :/

 

[D a w n]

your entry was completely fine in time HappyCockroach. People who really complain about you being a bit too slow are just afraid that you may win this contest and that they don't get a piece of the award cake

Don't worry about it. Anarchiam has 3 more hours to finish his model if he doesn't finish it in time, I'll ignore it :3

 

[Mr. Bob]

Clearly I'm concerned that my non existent entry is going to lose. NO CAKE FOR U.

Anyway, a couple of hours is fine. Just don't drag it out for another week.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

No, the magnanimous Mr. Bob is correct. I had said that there would be a one week extension with no exceptions. My model went over that grace period. :/ i didn't really like how it came out anyway. Contest is Over, I'll set up the poll now.

EDIT: on second thought, Here is the list of contestants that i have, am i forgetting anyone?

Supa-
HappyCockroach
tee.dubs
Pyramidhe@d
Fan
DonDustin
Chilla_Killa
time-to-die

[Pyramidhe@d]

you didnt like the way it came out?! you are being too modest.

 

[Deleted member 177737]

That's what she said xP

Anyways, at least this contest is finally over!

 

[Cweener]

anyways,
Good luck to all. I really don't know who's going to win, there were so many great modelers here.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Nah :/ the way the bones/animations are set up, there is some "clipping" and awkwardness. I dunno, it looked too bulky in some places and too skinny in others. Ill put up full pics and gifs in my gallery later if anyone was curious about it

EDIT: If anyone wanted to see it, you can find it in my gallery-thread now, first page, under the "MC17:air units" hidden tag
>>Here is the link<<

 

[Fingolfin]

lol anarchian, you are the king of mprphing animations
Anyways, the global anims look nice, even though it all reminds me a lot about your prowler model (which still is never a bad thing!).
The general appearance look a bit flimsy, much thanks to the piston mayhem. Still a nice model though.

 

[Pyritie]

by the way guys, poll's up
