Modelling & Animation Mini-Contests ~ Less Is More

[Wandering Soul]

Contest Entry WIP

Count me in! And here is my WIP...
Total Face Count so far is 265, and the model is just the four legs minus the body, head and tail...

 

[SuPa-]

Good progress everyone! I'm almost done animating. I just have to make the portrait stand and portrait talk animations and then I'll be good to go. I should most likely have everything done tonight.

 

[Panda]

Everything looks good so far everyone, some high detailed work here. Ill be watching over the contest, combining each entry together in one post for the judges. Good day!

 

[SuPa-]

Done!

[GhostThruster]

looks nice, love his abs xD

texture wip. i shud stop posting wips andwork on the texture more.

 

[WhiteDeath]

Good goblin texture, but you forgot to add the bony decay stuff.

 

[JesusHipster]

I love those enetires. Good job, people. Hive needs more lowpoly contests

 

[Pharaoh_]

this issue is wrong...

in-game portrait consumes HD, yes.

but they are always separate. the engine will draw 1 model in the model space, and 1 model in the portrait area. so, if my model has 400 polygons and built-in portrait, the engine will draw 800 polygons

so it comes down to having no reason to "sum" portrait + model to reach 400. portrait-less models will go to a maximum of 800 in-game anyway...

it does follow the contest purpose, though, to make that potrait model not exceed 400. (although it doesnt follow functionality, since there will be only 1 portrait model in scene at a time)

I decided to go with this, since the Peasant model is low poly, while the portrait is of higher definition and a portrait makes more sense to be HD.

Portrait is now excluded from the triangles limitation, but should still be in acceptable limits, in terms of our Models' rules.

 

[GhostThruster]

done. -supa's rapes the shit out of mine lol, but halo > lotr so i win.

hd texty text. i also have a rly hd texture thats 5mb, but my internet is slow and i am lazy to upload

Nicely done.

 

[PROXY]

Looks really epic but a bit too high detailed for warcraft IMO. Only the portrait though.

 

[SuPa-]

Thanks guys. Proxy, that's the point. It is HD after all!

 

[Sin'dorei300]

The portrait looks truly epic! Great work on it!

 

[GhostThruster]

forgot the ingame screenie

 

[Panda]

forgot the ingame screenie

Nice!

 

[UgoUgo]

GhostThruster, I dont think attachments need it, but from what I read from rules:

Every model must have calculated extents and a collision shape object.

Anyhow, awesome texture and mesh.

 

[SuPa-]

I finished the portrait. Enjoy.

[Astaroth Zion]

Ohh crap,,, I here is my wip.

I don't think that I can finish this tomorrow (I work most of the day), but I will do my best.

I will have a morph animation where its arm turn into a ballista.

 

[UgoUgo]

I am not sure if its time up, but I have updated my submission. Is that okay? I still have the original version though.

 

[eubz]

I thought the deadline will be on the 26th of January. So sorry to me, I am almost half of my work but the contest is done. I think, I am just going to upload mine at the model section and leave the contest as it is. I am really late for the deadline.

 

[UgoUgo]

I guess if Pharaoh_ hasnt claim the contest is over, it isnt over right? You still have time mate

 

[Wandering Soul]

My Contest Submission

Here is my model submission (Shadow Cat)...
The model uses 399 triangle/face and in-game texture...
Tested on a map and (almost) everything works fine...
The only problem is the Particle Emitter doesn't show up as expected...
The model is more suitable as a 'Summon' unit...

 

[PROXY]

Thought I read 26th as well.

Next time maybe.

Right, next time as well.

 

[bisnar13]

Can I still submit? I've been quite gone for a while, but I might still be able to make a good enough model

 

[UgoUgo]

Once again I have updated my model. I wonder if that is alright? Or I need to upload the first version here?

Damn, that's pretty awesome. Once the particle emitter works, it'll be even more awesome.
Why did you call it cat btw? It just kinda looks like a wolf with pointy ears imo.

 

[DESTROYER123]

It is awsome when you see people do their best when having limits!
You rock!

 

[SuPa-]

So no judges yet? If there are no judges found soon, I'd be willing to drop out of the competition to judge.

 

[Pharaoh_]

The contest has ended and you will soon be informed about the status of the reviewing period. Thanks everyone for participating

 

[Deolrin]

Who's gonna judge?

 

[eubz]

deolrin should judge.

 

[Deolrin]

I never signed up for this. I'm just curious.

 

[UgoUgo]

So whats happening now?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Deolrin has accepted to judge

I will find another judge as well! If there is anyone that kept up with the contest and wants to volunteer to be a judge, please, pm me.

 

[Almia]

dead?

 

[UgoUgo]

Seeing from what happened in 2d art mini contest, I think that it might take a month or two for the judging.

 

[Deolrin]

Well, so far I'm the only judge, as far as I know. When a second judge is found, it would only take about a day for me to judge everything.

But I don't think there is a second judge there, is there? And therefore, I don't think there's a point to rush the judging.

 

[General Frank]

If none has any objections I offer myself.

 

[Graber]

Implemented team color as well as some other things. I'm about ready to start animating.
The model will have a separate club attachment as well as an HD portrait, but they won't be part of the submission.

And here's a side and back shot

Thas so good for 400 faces, wish u could do it in 2000 faces.


Dude make a Lotr Cave troll would be so nice.

 

[Pharaoh_]

If none has any objections I offer myself.

Approved. If you really want to, please, both proceed.

 

[General Frank]

Approved. If you really want to, please, both proceed.

Okay, thank you.

 

[GhostThruster]
