Modeling Contest #31 - Spawners and Spawned [Optionally Paired]

[Kyrbi0]

is

it

possible?

A MODELING CONTEST FOR REAL

I'm very excited about all these entries & activity. All of you are doing cool stuff. I'm especially interested in seeing anything drawn by A.R. come to fruition (even if it is a filthy knife-ear... ;P).

~~~

[[IDEAS]] (although all of you seem to be pretty much started already):
- a crafty Jungle Troll 'Medicine Man' who summons a floating Tiki Mask Spirit buddy
- a greedy Goblin 'Tycoon' who hires sneaky Assassins or burly Bouncers from his Steam-Palanquin
- a nimble Air Elemental 'Windfather' who spins off disorienting Vortexes I know it's Vortices but that doesn't look as cool
- a vicious Nerubian 'Matriarch' with Parasite Eggs spawning beneath her constantly
- a ferocious Zandalari Troll 'Dinomancer' who calls his vicious Dinosaur companions (raptor? pterodactyl? anklysaur? etc)
- a nasty Goblin 'Slavedriver' who enslaves lowly Goblin-oids from atop his mechanical harvester
- a stoic Dwarven (Wildhammer) 'Gryphon Guide' who calls his trusty feathered steed from the skies & mounts him
- a stocky Earth Elemental 'Stonemother' who splits off portions of herself in the form of living golem-like Prometheans

And more!

Looking great guys ^^


Well, it should be time to add one. Why don't you try, even with RL sometimes? :]

Partly also because my Max and neodex been hating on each other as of late for some reason, i cant seem to export the animations out anymore without them being broken

I cant wait to see what people come up with the spawned units

 

[Heinvers]

@Freddyk @FerSZ @Misha @MiniMage @SuPa- care to join the contest? :]

 

[NightStalker]

If any modeler wants to help me I'd be glad to be teamed up with! I will surely need help with the modeling especially if anyone feels like teaching/helping I am always open for you :3

@Freddyk @FerSZ @Misha @MiniMage @SuPa- care to join the contest? :]

From what I know, FerSZ is already in, he wants to surprise us all.

 

[Misha]

Hm.. not really having inspiration..

 

[Ether]

Hm.. not really having inspiration..

Aquatic stuff like something that spawns blobs, jellies, tentacles, clams, and worm stuff. Thingies with tendrils and liquidy.
Based on your nagaish taste

C'mon man, didn't you see my list? : P

C'mon man, didn't you see my list? : P

the problem is, that whenever i start a model, i always want to do some custom animations, for flair, and lately i haven't had the inspiration to do any of that, even for my own models. and i'm pretty sure i can't reuse skeletons and anims from models i have

 

[Kyrbi0]

Hm... Well, have you tried not wanting to do custom animations? : ) Not everything needs it, and I mean it's perfectly acceptable; @-Grendel has won many a Modeling Contest & he never does custom animations (in fact, how many times has he used Beastmaster, lol...)

That, or find an animator that wants to pair with you.

not interested, alright? .u.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I wasn't necessarily trying to convince you to use one of my ideas (Ether suggested some, too); I was trying to convince you to join at all. : ) Either way, it's up to you.

 

[PROXY]

Slowly getting there.

 

[Heinvers]

My my my....

It's slowly and steadily getting there. I'm anxious to see what the spawned element will look like :]
Keep up the good work guys ^^

I agree with @Kyrbi0, like @~Grendel, I think PrinceYaser, nightelfbuilder, and TheWarchief or Nightmare might want to team up with you because they aren't into any team-mates yet and can ask them if they want to join contest

Slowly getting there.

That's crazy awesome. Now I want to see a version with the skull mask.

 

[Heinvers]

Anything worth showing @Deolrin ?

 

[Deolrin]

Working on it! Plenty of time left, no pressure.

a whopping nine times, not counting the ones that are not approved.

No volunteer? :'(

Still good. Joining, judging or lurking? ;]

Plenty of time is ahead. Don't give up.

I have already found my super secret weapon teammate! Wait till you see the WIPs!

 

[Archian]

Interesting WIPs so far!

Slowly getting there.

Uhhhh. Very nice. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but that sure does resemble a D3 Necromancer <3

 

[Direfury]

Its been a while, so here's the main units' mesh so far. Lotta little other details that need to be added and wrapped.

Spoiler: MountainGiantMeshWIP

 

[Edy]

Am I allowed to put a concept here so someone can make it, ofc no credit needed just for an inspiration?
Like drawn scetches? Judges?

Good flow so far. Keep it coming :]

 

[Kyrbi0]

@Edy Absolutely. I know of no rules against such a thing, and not only could it inspire someone, but new art is always great. : )

@Direfury C'mon man, where was that marvel when I ran the "Hero-version of unit" Modeling Contest? ;D

Loving the "Summit Colossus"

@Freddyk @FerSZ @Misha @MiniMage @SuPa- care to join the contest? :]

I have started something, hope I will be able to finish it this time ;-)

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Well... I still have two weeks of vacation left, might as well join

Presenting the meat grub.

[-Grendel]

probably joining. as soon as i think of a model that doesnt involve a spider broodmother, then i'm in.

 

[Freddyk]

First WIP:

 

[Kyrbi0]

Heck yeah Freddyk & Gyrosphinx. : )

don't try to fight it~

 

[-Grendel]

beastmaster mount thing

 

[Heinvers]

-Grendel is in the house. Beware!

 

[Ether]

Because all the work in progress are very good I humbly suggest to extend the deadline to october or make 4th and 5th place slots if we reached 10 or more participants.

 

[Heinvers]

No. Thank you for the suggestion however :]

 

[-Grendel]

trying to keep it as low poly as possible.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Oooh, nice. Mega-Rat

 

[The_Silent]

I wonder what the spawned unit will be here...

 

[-Grendel]

I was thinking of bugs 'cos i'm about to change the rider into a plague doctor lookin' dude. one ground unit than can burrow and one flying unit that dive bombs. But we'll see as i'm thinking its a bit meh if i use insects as summons.

 

[Kyrbi0]

No PLZ plague doctor sounds rad.

What about goopy Plaguelings or zombified Plaguebearers?

Why not a swarm of little rats and fleas? :]

Nice.

 

[Direfury]

Well, I've got my primary model rigged and ready to animate, but I'm really not looking forward to texturing it.

I think I might be open to teaming up.

Have you tried to wrap it in in-game textures to see how it looks?

..and if you're looking for a partner, I might be up for grabs.

 

[Direfury]

I'd really much rather stick to custom textures for this guy.

 

[-Grendel]

main guy done. i have a pretty groovy idea for one of his minions
