Modeling mini-contest #1

[Deolrin]

Meh... I'm either entering with an attachment or three floating voodoo masks. :/

 

[Dionesiist]

Fist I thought you were going to make a spaceship. Only the name Baby bothered me.

Lol, I thought it was going to be a headcrap!

 

[D a w n]

Blargh

Edit1: deleted the particles-.-
Edit2: removed some polies and added some particles instead
Edit3: added some texture variation

 

[Deolrin]

Oh well... I'm in with a goblin submarine. 124 triangles and one particle emitter with an emission rate of 2(that makes 128 triangles, amirite?)...

HUGE thanks for FrIkY for the idea and for an awesome concept art("blueprints")

I think I only got to do rigging and animations now.

Only if the maximum amount of particles on the screen at one time is 2. (Edit > Properties > Show debug info > look at "Particle count")

 

[HappyTauren]

Colossus, 128 face model, and melee replacement, 3 in one!

I will be doing a custom 128² texture. I will also delete 4 faces, so I can do particle emitters.

 

[Pyritie]

You can probably turn that spine into a plane

 

[HappyTauren]

rather not.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

lookin good everyone

Lol, eldar farseer

 

[Time-to-die]

Just wondering, but wont you also need the .blp? Or are you just looking at the models?

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Just wondering, but wont you also need the .blp? Or are you just looking at the models?

yeah, but I guess that was obvious, no ?

T.

 

[Time-to-die]

But nobody is attaching the .blp hehe. Just the .mdx and the screen shot like the contest rules said.

 

[D a w n]

because we did not use any custom texture, but ingames.

 

[Time-to-die]

Ahh, well that makes sense I suppose lol.

Guess I am done with mine. Tried to add team colors but i don't have those material options for some reason.

 

[skrab]

Here is another wip. This time its an animation wip..
Instead of a sword I add spear because its more sparta style. >122 triangles<
How about a strike/stab from above or spear throw?

The video is captured in the viewport and I'm using skin modifier in max5 just to show the anim..

 

[Pyritie]

just wondering but you're gonna make that material for the armor two-sided, right? The holes look kinda eeh.

 

[skrab]

That's one of the problems but I'll try to solve it later.

EDIT: Well that's just a ghost and only armor is visible. So the holes are the features. When I add 2sided texture and shade comes in place I hope it will look pretty good.

 

[Mechanical Man]

However I think that making the material two sided, the polygon count basically gets doubled in terms of performance.

 

[HappyTauren]

Actually, it doesn't, it's just that all faces are rendered at all times. If you put a box, and it is not doublesided, it will be rendered as, say 6 faces. If you put it on doublesided, it will be rendered as a 12-faced object, and it has 12 faces.
The conclusion is that doublesided material just shows all faces at all times, not any extra faces, because you can't flip a single face in any way, that it's rendered as two faces. Get it?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

WHAT?! so we cant double side materials now? wtf gay

 

[Mechanical Man]

Actually, it doesn't, it's just that all faces are rendered at all times. If you put a box, and it is not doublesided, it will be rendered as, say 6 faces. If you put it on doublesided, it will be rendered as a 12-faced object, and it has 12 faces.

Still will render as higher face object.

archian, who said that?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Well if i had a model that was 128 faces, could i "double side" the material?

 

[HappyTauren]

Still will render as higher face object.

Not HIGHER, rather EXACT. It renders a 128 face model as a 128 face model, not as a 160 face model.

@anarchian: don't worry, you can.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Oh thank god

 

[Kount]

Tryin this too : )

I'm going to create a Beholder, a demon introduced in WoW:TBC (http://www.wowwiki.com/Beholder)

 

[bboy-tiger-]

It look more like Doom 3 Cocodemon.

 

[Kount]

Yes, thats where Blizzard stole their idea from

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Um... those were in the old DnD books way before Doom.

 

[Kount]

Yes, I just wanted to explain the similarity. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who came up with this in the first place

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

well i has made it lols
Lesser Frill Waver

a smaller subspecies of this

View attachment Lesser Frill Waver.rar

its 125 polys with one particle emitter which should bring the count to 127 :3

hey how many entries are there anyhows?

 

[Pyritie]

The limit is 128 triangles, not polies

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

its still 125 triangles
polys, triangles, same shit to me

 

[skrab]

That's a lot of particles coming out of his mouth.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

emission rate is 30. does that means it count as 60 triangles? :O

 

[skrab]

I think so. Every single particle counts as 2 triangles.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

D: fock taht ARGHHH!!!
i'll just delete the particles then
umm i cant see the video

Edit: View attachment Lesser Frill Waver v2.rar

 

[Dionesiist]

Oh dear, oh my!

 

[Palaslayer]

another model with 2d weapon by you ^^

 

[Coinblin]

I'm gonna do a mini humanoid robot. I'm not gonna get a chance to start meshing/animating until next weekend, so right now I'm going to work on creating a really great design.

 

[Kount]

wip 2

 

[Palaslayer]

not bad. i guess you'll approve the texture ?

edit: not approve, improve xD

 

[Kount]

Yes, I always unwrap the whole model first and then improve the texture step by step

 

[CombatTheWombat]

WIP: Staple-Remover Monster! 108 polies.

 

[Cavman]

Oh dear, oh my!

The Auditor of Reality?

 

[Deolrin]

All of the entries look awesome so far guys!

Meh, here's my final.

The Goblin "Undersea Predator" Submarine is an elite unit in any Trade Prince's navy. The ability to remain absolutely invisible to any kind of revealing magic or technology is one of the most advanced cloaking devices a machine can have. In addition, the sub can dwell underwater for an unlimited amount of time, all thanks to Goblin technology. The Goblins refuse to sell those precious creations for any kind of price, despite their greedy nature, for those amazing devices are one of the most advanced inventions the Goblins have ever thought of so far. A small and almost invisible hole in the sub's front, in the middle of the mouth illustration is used to launch X55 Anti-ship missiles at an amazing speed.

Recommended abilities:

Cluster Rockets
Submerge
True Sight



Special thanks to General Frank for the back-thing idea with the shredder texture. ^^

( Btw, why isn't this in the Arena? :/ )

 

[Linaze]

This isn't in the arena since it's a mini-contest.

 

[Dionesiist]

Justicar

128 tris is such a horrible thing to work with.

 

[Devine]

[drama] no fair... dio can make every model look good because of his texturing skills [/drama] looks good ^^ consider yourself one of the winners.

 

[Dionesiist]

Not after they see how horribly the animations deform him
