Modeling mini-contest #1

[Thrikodius]

You should be negrepped for that retarded hiddentag spam. model looks allright though...

Yeah I had some second thoughts about that to and now I got them confirmed.
~Fixed

 

[HappyCockroach]

Well the two sided material thing is not really new and I have already spent some time cutting down on polies in order to finish the mesh. But now that you mention it there might be 4 polies I can remove.

Changes made and here is the model:

At first sight it's awesome but...it's weird when looking closely. First of all the position of its wings while standing looks very bad. With only 2 squares these wings shouldn't bend like that, it looks pointy and paper-like.
Also, the animations aren't smooth. I think it's because they are linear... TCB looks much smoother...
In addition there's a bad resolution conflict between the wings and the body. But that can't be efficiently changed, so it's ok. And you forgot attachments, at least Overhead, Origin and Chest Refs.
Anyhow, this model is pretty funny and cool, thumbs up.

Well the wing problem can easily be explained.

Contestants are to make a model using no more than 128 triangles. The model can be of anything.

About the animations I would like to know what the hell TCB is.
I'll fix the attatchments

 

[HappyCockroach]

I'm complaining about the wings position, not geometry. They look bad that way they are, upwards. Maybe if you don't bend them like that, they will look much better, still with 2 polies. =)

Oh, sorry, TCB is a 3dsmax term I guess. It's non-linear. I guess it's Bezier. But the anims are fine. Linear anims are what make it be 38kb big.

 

[Cavman]

I'm thinking I might try my hand at this here Low Poly mini contest. Got a WIP.

I think you still need to attach it to the post, anarchian,

 

[anarchianbedlam]

good point, thanks HT... edited and fixed

Havent posted in a while. I wanna join this, but I've gotta get milkshape on my new laptop up at school. Can you still download it from the internets?

Also, I don't have Wc3 on the computer. Will I need an in game SS, or will a model viewer one do alright?

Well I think as long as it will work in game?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i can test it if you want

 

[skrab]

Haven't posted a WIP in a while so here is a texture, model and animations WIP.

 

[FlowerofSpeech]

So why hasn't someone done triangle man yet? Err I mean, Pyramid head.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Kickass looking model there skrab, doesnt even look low-poly. I like the texture (but i dont know why his abs are as big as his pectorals, looks a bit odd) But the animations are seriously badass. very smooth very nice, he might need a stand defend animation, like the footman. But anyway, great lookin WIPs there.

 

[Coinblin]

Is there a tool that tells you the # of triangles in Magos? or maybe in milkshape?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Yes.... and both those features are in the respective programs.... not sure if this is the place to ask though, i think this is more of a minicontest thread

 

[Coinblin]

Nah man I needed to know so I could count the triangles on the mesh of my entry for this contest. The place to get info like that would be this thread, wouldn't it? Since it directly relates to the contest?

Edit: Found the properties window in Magos, I think. Faces=triangles, right?

 

[shamanyouranus]

Yes, and in milkshape, if you go to tools/show model statistics, it'll tell you how many triangles it has (tris=polys).

And here's sort of an update on my wormy thing:

Hidden

I added some polys to the shell so the whole thing isn't one big triangle from the front, and made the eyes look a bit less gay. Comments...suggestions....whatever.

I'm going to try to make her mouth less 2D and more awesome-o so i can have her puke acid (how adorable ^^).

 

[anarchianbedlam]

You have strange taste in women shamanyouranus, but looks good

 

[skrab]

Update: I finally finished the Helmet and Boots.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

now that is awesome.

[Deolrin]

YESSSS that is awesome.

Now please add a cannon on his back.

Yes, and make him morph into a megazord-like robot thing

 

[Palaslayer]

and all in 128 triangles

 

[Dionesiist]

And in a can.

 

[Thrikodius]

And a mentally disturbed albatross with its beak through it.

 

[Coinblin]

Here's a WIP of my idea I posted a week ago in this thread. Skinned, uv mapped, head of my scrap robot infantry unit. (eyes are tc)

It'll be about the same height as the villager kid model and a bit wider. thought it would fit well with the goblin race, considering I gave it a huge ran down look. Skins by me as well. Tell me watcha think so far!

BTW about 27 triangles so far.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

put it in as hidden next time plox. looks promising btw

 

[Taylor Mouse]

OK here is my final entry ( changed my idea on what it would be )
Still D3 stuff

Specs:

Model : 128 tris
Texture : 1x 512x512

Concept

W.I.P. 1

W.I.P. 2

And Final

And download of course:
Download Imp Weapon


Good luck to all , and may the best man ( or woman ) win

[Kuhneghetz]

- UV Map done.
- Texture done (it's also in 128x128).
- Mesh attached to a wc3 model rig done. In this case, it's the Mammoth rig, which surprisingly works with some tweaks (but you'll have to change unit size when you use the model ingame, or else you'll have a giant baby).
- It's still 128 tris.
- Baby suit, the colored pacifier and the iris is teamcolored.
- The ears and the pacifier's ring are just textured to keep the 128 limit in the contest. But I'll probably model the ears and the ring later, and add a decay gutz for a resource version.
- Still need to tweak the attachment points.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

put in effing hiddn tag people. my window aint that big D:<

oh and i love makeshift weapons. i love it

 

[Pyritie]

the colored sucky thing (what's it actually called in English?)

Dummy, passifier, something like that

 

[skrab]

Your texture must be 128x128 not 512.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Dummy, passifier, something like that

Thanks, though I found out that it's spelled pacifier.

 

[Palaslayer]

DvO? retired? impossible!

 

[Deolrin]

You might aswell not spam.

Anyone, lookin' great so far! The spartan is awesome!

 

[Pyritie]

Your texture must be 128x128 not 512.

I got rid of that rule because people can just use ingame textures

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Baby is looking good Dan

This will be my final contest entry until further notice.

Baby (contest version)

Made by: Dan van Ohllus

This low-poly baby model is my submission to Hiveworkshop's first Modeling Mini-Contest, where the theme was to limit your entry's tris count to 128 or less.

Mesh and texture are made from scratch, while the animations are taken and tweaked from the Mammoth unit.

IMPORTANT: When applied to a unit, the baby looks huge, so do the following unit settings in order to fix the issue.
1. Change "Art - Scaling Value" to 0.20 (or 0.25).
2. Change both "Art - Animation - Run Speed" and "Art - Animation - Walk Speed" to 500.

YOU MUST GIVE ME CREDITS IF YOU USE THIS MODEL IN YOUR MAP.

Please DO NOT distribute and/or modify this resource without my permission.

 

[Thrikodius]

The attack anims are almost the same.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Ohhh babay... aww yeaa

awesome work

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

say herro to me weeddle fwend

a turret unit

 

[Thrikodius]

Another contribution? Really awesome though.

 

[Wraithling]

Awww... he's cute! Can't wait to see him crawl

And I lol'ed at the stitched up clothing

 

[skrab]

I'm about to reformat my PC so I'll post this as final entry. Maybe I'll update it later.

Undead Spartan
Its a ghost of the dead Spartan warrior.

I know there are many mistakes on the texture but that is my first custom painted texture.

 

[Deolrin]

Imo it would look much nicer with a skeleton inside, or a revenant-esque animated texture thing. But I'd suppose you're out of polies... Meh, you COULD do it in the higher-polygon version, if you're going to make one.

 

[Devine]

morre win models just made it completely impossible for me to win =/
