Modeling Contest #20 - Campaign Screens

[Direfury]

Unless theres an extension and my computer gets a rather permanent fix, I'm out.

What a shame, considering how quickly you work, i thought you would have coasted through and done something offhand. taken second place. :/ i was looking forward to the demon hunter campaign screen actually. Deolrin has been telling me that i should make a map or a project and i was hoping i could use it.

Err, did you even start?

 

[Mr. Bob]

Went ahead and extended the deadline, as I wont be here tomorrow to do so.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Piktoure

New Wip-
Meh, it's not the best model in the world, but yeah, I really cbf fixing more on the guy. Ive been tweaking him for like a week and a half.
His head looks huge in the picture, but it'll be better when you look at it in the proper angle.
I need to start making the doodads and all, and I haven't even animated yet...
It's about 1200 triangles.
Oh yeah and he has a neckbeard

 

[D a w n]

have your work on the proportions with the help of reference pictures?? This might really help

 

[PROXY]

First WIP. It's not much, but I think you can guess what I'm trying to archive.

WIPZ

 

[darkdeathknight]

Im good at drawing proportion 'pencil drawing wise', its just it's my first time modelling a humanoid.
If it looks terrible in the finished product then Ill fix it up when Ive done everything else.

Oh yeah and Fan, that reminds me of the start of Oblivion, in the sewers.

 

[Time-to-die]

I may do something for this. We shall see how busy I am. Wips look good so far!

 

[darkdeathknight]

Good luck, and I hope its not time for you to die, or you wouldn't be able to finish the competition

err...you are on the contest blacklist...

 

[Deolrin]

Alright, here's a work-in-progress.
I think it should be fairly obvious what I'm trying to recreate here.
If not, just look down.
I still have the sea and sun to recreate, and possibly the burning ships.

 

[D a w n]

SoC campaign?? :>

 

[Linaze]

No SoC campaign. [/off-topic]

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

the eye slit angle is a bit off

 

[Deolrin]

I realize that.
It's the Human Campaign Footman's helmet, edited very, VERY slightly. Slightly because the wrap is an ass. Everytime I change something on the mesh, it reflects badly with a terrible wrap, and I can't fix it manually either.
Oh well, at least it fits the footman.

 

[darkdeathknight]

The arrows ahould be way bigger. But it's a pretty cool campaign screen

 

[anarchianbedlam]

the helmet is massive and the arrows are too stubby

 

[PROXY]

Deolrin, is it me or is the sky a bit of.. weird? Looks pretty good anyway.

 

[HappyCockroach]

skies fade horizontally.... this one looks like a vertical plane... and the texture doesn't suggest a horizon line. that's why it looks weird

 

[Deolrin]

It's a sphere which will rotate in the animation. There will also be a glowing sun, and a 'sea' of sorts. Due to the angle, I don't think I'll be adding the mountains. I'm also uncertain about the footprint in the sand(since there is actually no sand), as well as the blood.

 

[HappyCockroach]

hmmmm you dont seem to get it.... skies should follow perspective to the horizon. google some landscapes and you'll understand

 

[supertoinkz]

Early wip. Still need to animate the water and add stuff. Also experimenting in making the sea look longer :C. The black "fog" will be fixed later.

 

[PROXY]

Hmm.. I'm having problem with the lights. Is there maybe anyone who can help me out?
I know this has been asked before, but I don't want to fail because of that

Looks awesome, and looks although it will be useful.

Just copy-paste your entire thing into one of Blizzard's campaign screens.

when i saw the thumbnail for a moment i thought it looked like Windows' generic wallpaper

it is good nonetheless

 

[Time-to-die]

First wip I suppose. Not sure what the limits are on these screens, but I hope to have a lot moving.

Don is right, time-to-die was put on the contest blacklist for CnPing a texture in MC17. Sorry man, feel free to make a campaign screen, but we cant accept it for the contest.

 

[Time-to-die]

Well that is dumb, I was in 4 contests before that and use 1 texture that was edited slightly and now I can't enter any more?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

No, it's not dumb, those were the rules, and you broke them. they were on the first post of the contest page, which you obviously did not read, otherwise it would never have been an issue for you.

The CnP you used was not "slightly edited" it was a direct ctrl+C and ctrl+V copypasta of the Teamfortress2 heavy weapons guy as your helicorpter pilot. it wasnt slight, it was hamhanded and obvious.

if you want to be able to join contests again, you have to appeal your case to either the arena moderator or the administration. Dont complain on this forum about how you think you were "wronged"

 

[Time-to-die]

Yes it is dumb, I could understand being DQ for that contest. But not being able to post in other contests is dumb. If you really want to have even less people participating in contests then this is a great way to do it.

 

[Adiktuz]

that would never have happened if you followed the rules...

 

[darkdeathknight]

Well, I doubt the judges want to go through more than enough submissions.

we REALLY want to have even less rulebreakers participating in contests. Like i said, dont come crying around this thread, go appeal your case to the admins.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

why dont we let olympic athletes use steroids because then we can break more world records?

 

[Deolrin]

Here's another work-in-progress picture of the Scars of Conflict campaign screen.
All that's left for me now is to transfer it all to the Human Campaign Screen, remove all the original mesh and animate the sun, clouds and water. Then I'll have to test it in-game and see how the lightning and all works.
EDIT: Actually, wait, Fan, how the hell did you get the lightning to work in-game? :S
EDIT 2: Ugh... This is how it looks like in-game, currently. If anyone has any idea why, or how to fix it, please tell me. I just copied the lightning from the Human Campaign Screen and moved\rotated\scaled around my own campaign screen to fit the angle\scale\location of the human campaign one.

For safety reasons, people would push them self's too far.

I really don't see what the big deal is, there is no money involved, people do it on their own time and will, and it is a modeling contest not a texture contest. But if you guys want to be like that then I am taking my modeling elsewhere.

 

[Adiktuz]

So you will only follow the rules of a contest if it has a prize money? that is a total absurdity... we shouldn't even have created the rules if that was the case... we learn to follow higher rules, by learning how to follow lesser rules first...

@Deolrin - looks cool, I kinda like the in-game one too... ^_^

Simple... If rule-breaking isn't dealt with properly people who find pride in following the rules and doing what is right, will grow tierd of participating since the contests wouldn't be fair.

And then all of a sudden there will only be ripped WoW models and Screenshot textures throughout the modeling contests, and the point of having a contest in the first place would go straight out the window.

 

[Mamma_Pappa]

This will be interesting to watch.
And wow, 20th contest already.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Deolrin, you could probably go nuts with the polies on the helmet, it IS a campaign screen after all.

 

[supertoinkz]

More WiPs.

..

Bench

Palm Tree - Still need to add coconuts

Crab

Coconut Juice - The insides is not seen (supposed to be two-sided, I don't know how to make a two-sided material in milkshape)

Jetski - Currently no texture and wrap

EDIT: WiP 2 of crab
EDIT 2: Finished the crab . Isn't Mr. Crabby cute?

 

[darkdeathknight]

I like the coconut.

Sorry, was away for a week.

Anyway, I didn't get it working in ingame at all. I tried to copy the lights exactly from the human campaign screen to save time, but everything was a mess. I'm at the end of my powers here :/ Anyone else maybe?
Your campaign screen looks bloody awsome btw.

Set all materials to unshaded

 

[darkdeathknight]

Just an update because the thread is really dead. Unfortunately I have exams next week, so I will not be able to do anymore to the actual model. (sorry for sounding so cliched)
I have Exams which finish at the 10th of June. So if there's an extension, it would be the only way to finish.

EDIT-I copied Ampharos with the black line crap on the Opel Blitz.
And also the textures are a rush job.

 

[supertoinkz]

Messed up wip. The coconut and chair appears to be inside out .

 

[knight26]

I will most likely not finish (exams and stuff) but I have a question. I have two ideas about the crest on his chestplate - one Decepticon-styled and one looking more accurately like the model. Which one should I pick?

NhazUl, im just saying if u dont finish it in time for contest, will u still make that and upload it after a while? cos it looks cool.
Answer: U should pick the Decepticon style.

 

[D a w n]

I prefer your own version. Appears much more original.

Oh and I bet you will have a lot lot lot more time to finish.
