Modeling: Deolrin vs PROXY

[Deolrin]

IBtw. epic model Deolrin, didn't have time yet to take a look on it earlier, need to do now!

Thanks! Your model is awesome as well. This will be tough.

Deo, I'd suggest you to make those chains a tad darker, they are too bright and stand out.

Well, it's a bit too late for that. The challenge's over.
I think that if I applied a geoset animation color to the chains, it would screw them up anyway. I don't think geoset animations work well with alpha'd out textures. It would just turn the invisible bits into solid color bits. Also, I kind of like the chains as they are. They are very fiery and hot-looking!

wrong. I used that effect in the 'Shame' model. alpha planes that change color even with animation. that mess-up only applies for additive filter, or maybe modulate, or modulate 2x... 2-color or full alpha are unaffected, since geoset animations can change color and alpha out stuff, but there's no ways to "alpha-in" parts of the texture...

when doing an alpha-out animation theres even a dirty trick to make an animated dissolve effect with 2-color alpha filter, since it disappears below 75% and appears above... values vary linearly but change in an boolean principle...

oh look, i got distracted and lost the subject again...

Must be what General Frank used for some of his models. I should probably look into doing something like that myself. ^^
Do you simply go from "1" to "0" in a geoset animation to achieve the dissolve effect?

your alpha channel must be prepared... to give the certain effect.

each pixel shall disappear below 75% opacity and appear above it.

needless to say more. now you should show what you're worth and solve the puzzle yourself

Hey guys. I don't know if this counts now, but I found out that my model had a bugged omni light which caused everything in the map to be coloured in teal :/ Here is the fixed model, if you don't want it to count anymore it's okay for me.

 

[Linaze]

Two mighty fine models, I must say.
I'm not sure which one I prefer, but I'm leaning towards the centaur.

Good work, both of you.

I think i 'll pick the cute witch!

Is the duel over?

 

[Deolrin]

It is. We're waiting for the judges(Kwaliti and HappyTauren).

 

[Kwaliti]

Bleh, finally found the time to do this. Alright, screw the numbers, I'll do this the short and direct way.

Deolrin, the Centaur not only fits the hiearchy well, but it also fits the game perfectly. Amazing use of in-game textures here and KotG animations. The effects could've been somewhat better. The flaming thing on the attack and spell anims feels rather plain. The chains on the eyes seem a bit too bright.

PROXY, as far as I can see you've decimated Jaina's model and made a goblin. It turned out quite well. However, I would never guess that was a goblin if the texture wasn't green. The contours don't feel really lady like. You've put plenty of effort into detailing it though.

A really tough decision, but I'll have to pick a winner.

Both of you made models which fit the theme very well, but the win will have to go to Deolrin just because it's more WC3 styled.

 

[Deolrin]

Thanks for judging, Kwaliti! If PROXY is fine with this, I guess we can end this contest(though I would prefer to find a second judge, and I would prefer if there were numbers and criteria and stuff, but I understand that you don't have time and I don't really mind ).

 

[PROXY]

I'm totally fine with this Thanks for judging Kwaliti and gratz to you Deolrin
Maybe some time in the future we will duell again!
