Modelling Challenge - Stefan.K vs. PROXY

[PROXY]

Modelling Challenge

Melee Madness

Competitors:

• Challenger: @PROXY
• Opponent: @Stefan.K

Description

• Create a Tier 1 unit for whatever race/faction/group you want.

Rules and Conditions

• Universal rules: Standard contest/challenge rules apply here. (e.g. not starting before the contest starts and so on)
• Specific rules: Standard modelling contest rules apply here. (e. g. model must work ingame, must contain a basic set of animations and so on)
• As both challengers have a similar style/workflow/usage of ressources, defining extra rules is not necessary (such as the usage of custom textures for example) as both are very well aware of what to do and what not do in the context of a challenge/contest.

Reputation Award

• 20 points

Duration

• Start: 2018-07-16
• End: 2018-08-16

Results Calculation

• A public poll as well as a judge will decide the result after the challenge has been concluded.

---

Spoiler: Proposed themes

I'm storing here the themes proposed in the poll before deleting it. They might be useful in future:

• Reinvention: Reinterpration of an already existing melee hero
  
• Custom Texture: Custom model on base of a custom texture (same texture for both)
  
• CrossUniverse: Porting a character from another universe to WC3 (Diablo, Starcraft etc.)
• Melee Madness: Create a Tier 1 unit (footmann, ghoul etc)
• Hourglass of Time: Redo an already completed contest (can be both normal and mini-contest)
• Bounty Hunters: Create a bounty hunter of your choice - be creative
• I can do that better: Redo a model from your component
  
• Transformation: Turn any living creature into its epic undead counterpart (or vice versa)

Applied moderator: @Naze

I'm very glad to see someone taking initiative when it comes to modeling contests/challenges!

It's been too long. : )

//EDIT//

Multi-vote Polls <3

I voted for

- Reinvention: Always solid, can't wait to see the alternate Shadow Hunter or Firelord or Dark Ranger OR (WC2-RE-STYLED) DEATH KNIGHT!!
- Melee Madness: So so so so useful; basic T1 models are a great resource & a test of your "elegance in simplicity" skillz
- Hourglass: Sooooo many good ol Contests to choose from; especially the 7th/8th Hero Contests. ;D
- Redo Opponent's Model: Nothing like some good "anything you can do I can do better" action. xD And both of you have some kickin' models I'd love to see the other try to do (PROXY's Windlord or Troll ladies, Stefan's Necrowitch or Necromancer...)
- Transformation: ALWAYS a fan of transformation. Especially -->Undead; that's perfect for the Forsaken (undead Archmage? undead Spellbreaker? undead Gryphon Rider? undead Golem? undead Barracks? undead ANYTHING?)

Looking forward to it!

Voted for "Cross Universe". I voted by looking from the point of view of "Which option would bring something new to the Hive, that we don't have already?". Here is my thought process:

-Reinvention: If I am not mistaken, @Direfury has created several models based on melee heroes, so I personally would like to see something else, although it would be really cool to see your takes on this!
-Custom Texture: This could certainly be interesting, and it can get you guys creative, but I am not sure how much of a freedom would you have to create something new and unique.
-Cross Universe: The one I voted on. Plenty of iconic characters from the Blizzard Universes that don't already have warcraft 3 adaptations can find their way into Warcraft. StarCraft has more to offer in terms of such characters, but there is a fair share of Diablo ones that we haven't seen yet. Rooting for a Diablo model!
-Melee Madness: We have a million footmans, same amount of archers, a bit less grunts and a few Ghouls. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-Hourglass of Time: Again, I personally come from the point of creating something new, rather than creating a variation of something, but this could be fun as well.
-Bounty Hunters: A lot of potential here, depends on the suggestions.
-I can do that better: Man, would that be fun! I was split between this one an the "Cross Universe", and barely chose the latter. I certainly won't be unhappy if that gets chosen.
-Transformation: In terms of modelling challenge, this can get you guys going, but undead-versions of models don't really get me excited, personally.

Wtf, @stein123

 

[stein123]

I'm just a bit exited to see this X'D

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yeah but that literally is the equivalent of Voting for nothing. Lol

 

[Velmarshal]

I'd also throw in "no custom textures" as an option.

 

[Stefan.K]

I'd also throw in "no custom textures" as an option.

We probably are going to use in game textures if the "custom texture" don't have the most votes since we both don't know to draw a custom texture.

 

[Velmarshal]

Primarily because it keeps the filesize small.

 

[AditTechno]

CrossUniverse, let's go! Good luck when it starts!

 

[Naze]

Excellent. Well, you guys know the next words that'll come outta my mouth... "Hm, have you ever seen a Tier 1 Jungle Troll?..."
xD

Of course there's so many options. Dwarves, Naga, Forsaken, Pandaren, Goblin, Dalaran, Nerubian, Wildhammer, Elemental... Ahh.

I'm sorry, but I have exama whole month so I don't know when I will be free...

I think so. Maybe I will have some time after 20th of june.

 

[Stefan.K]

Alright, I'm done with my exams and I am ready for the contest. What you you say @PROXY ?

 

[PROXY]

I'm all ready to go, sorry for the late reply. Can start whenever you can

Great. Whenever you want.

 

[Kyrbi0]

No no, whenever you want.

We're ready to go!

 

[Naze]

Alright! Just one thing: the main thread is still waiting to be filled up with some info* that it isn't me who decides, so you guys need to fill that after that I'll move the thread to the main lobby and officially launch the challenge.

*E.g. since it's a challenge, you guys can decide the duration, results calculation (if you want public poll or not), rules (if custom textures or not), etc

Done

 

[Naze]

Thread moved and all! I'm ready to see some awesome models around here.

Btw, you guys might aswell decide the percentages in which the public poll and judging score will count in the final results calculation.

Thanks much (and thanks for fixing/enhancing the thread layout <3). We'll decide upon that as soon as possible.

I hope we can deliever

 

[Stefan.K]

Should I post some wips here or? I will, anyways.

I had in mind something like a footman but for Night Elves. I am struggling if I should add a shield or not...

 

[Kyrbi0]

Nice, love that sword design.

 

[Naze]

Hah! I was looking for a NE footman just last week. I'm glad to see one being made =P

 

[PROXY]

Might as well. Pretty much every texture is a placeholder right now. Not sure if I will even continue this concept.

 

[Kyrbi0]

heck YEAH

P A N D A R E N L O V E

 

[PROXY]

Might as well post new WIPs in here, as I'll have to work for the next week or so.

 

[Deleted member 238589]

Looking good. Shield is lackluster imo

 

[Kyrbi0]

That is sick. Honestly my only gripe would be that he seems almost too good; like, Spell-Breaker levels of detail (almost Hero-level), rather than Footman.

NOW YOU HAVE THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM BRO. xD

~~~

Also I thought Pandaren T1 would be, like, a Pikeman or summat.

 

[Stefan.K]

I am still struggling if I should use shield or not. Anyways, the model is almost finished. I might experiment with it a bit more. All it lacks is portrait.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Dang, really coming along... I feel like a shield just makes sense, but then again without it you can go for a sort of "skirmisher"-type deal, like a speedy damage-dealer rather than a tanky front-liner.

 

[Stefan.K]

I'm done with my entry and it's already uploaded in the models section! Moon Warrior

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ooh, nice! Almost forgot about this.

 

[Stefan.K]

Just to notify the guys who wait for the @PROXY 's entry. He is busy these days so he asked me if I'm fine with the extension and I said I am. So it will take some time until he finish the model. One or two week.

 

[Kyrbi0]

 

[Lordlycan]

we demand wips! But as long as the end result is great that's the most important thing i'd think

 

[Stefan.K]

we demand wips!

My entry was finished some time ago. We wait for proxy's final entry.

 

[Lordlycan]

yea as a leeway to proxi he has to show wips so you know where he was when the actual contest deadline ended.

 

[Heinvers]

Hi.

What's the status of this challenge? Dead, stagnating or still going? @Stefan.K @PROXY !

 

[Stefan.K]

Hi.

What's the status of this challenge? Dead, stagnating or still going? @Stefan.K @PROXY !

I already finished my entry a long time ago. It's uploaded in the models section.

 

[Heinvers]

@PROXY what's the status? Still dealing with real life issues?

When finished either of you can make a public vote for it or I will. Whichever you guys think is the best option
