Colossus may be almost same as mech but could you have 2 much big ass giant things fighting?
 
We should restrict Collosus to organic units. I'm tired of machinery.

- Skin competition is going to be about futuristic skins (many mechanical things)
- In the last modelling competition, most of the submissions were big robots
- We already had a Mech competition

It's easier to do mechanical things than organic, since they can look quite stiff in the animations(for being robots)... I think that's why they got me bored...

Critters could be ANYTHING, that is a rediculous idea. I could make a giant fish model and call it a critter.
As for Happycockroach. Dont heavily penalize creativity just because its mechanical. That is bias and not professional at all. HOWEVER you can rate them down if the animations are bad. If there are stiff simple animations, then downrate them accordingly. But dont go around saying any genre or type of unit is "teh suxor i dont leik you so i rate 1/5"

Do we even need to make a poll?

No need to, i think the modelers should decide the theme. Once we get the poll the non-modelers will start to vote...

I want to do critters because whenever you guys decide on a theme here, you complain about it later during the contest.

That's because (in the most of the cases) WE don't decide about themes. When i said WE i mean the people who actually join the modeling contests.


Why is the theme called Colosus? The evil, mysterious boss unit. I googled colosus and I got some pictures from one comic character....
 
Dieselpunk?

well how steam punk is the advancement of steam technology into the future, diesel punk is from around ww2 and stuff where heavy oil guzzlers develop further... or something like that. very similar to steampunk except you got fume exaust and engines and stuff instead of boliers and chimneys.
not really good examples but
example 1
buncha pics
damn. all the examples i like have nazis in them

oh here's a definition
meh. never mind if you guys arent sure about it. just suggesting

I want to buy that game now :p....

I agree with happy-c that the colossus is fugly. But if someone makes a model of that, where the animations are even half as epic as the ones in that video... i will shit myself. Fucking epic game, epic model, epic theme.

Oh also.... redscore, devine, and now happy cockroach, shut the fuck up about your mother fucking league of the queer, or whatever that shit is. It's getting really fucking annoying
 
If that Colossus theme is based off of that game, it sucks hugetime.
We just had giant robots like that in the last competition. Every input we had in this thread about colossus comes from that stupid game. I thought that Colossus was supposed to be "a giant creature that fits a boss", instead of some crap took from a video game.
IMO, if people do models to these things they should have a penalty to their originality.

Steampunk sounds pretty cool, but when I think about wc3 steampunk it reminds me of the Siege Engine and Gyrocopter...meh...

EDIT: Forget what I said first, will posted right before me...

Maybe the colossus theme should be renamed to TITANS, because the theme is being too closely compared to the shadow of the colossus, while TITAN really would describe what the theme should be. just a giant boss unit with "large" animations. TITAN could include anything so long as it is huge, ie.

maybe even an ogre

really so long as it is about the same size or larger than wc3 ogre model, (without having to scale it up in the editor) and as long as the animations are epic like a boss unit. It should be an awesome contest.

and happy cockroach, there was ONLY 1 "colossal" model submission in the last contest, mine, the contests before that was building,, and before that- women, and before that- chimera, the last large unit there was in a modeling contest was probably the fire elemental in MC10. So dont keep bitching about "oh there have been so many giant units in the past waa waa waa". Because unless you are thinking about a different website, the only colossal unit you could be bitching about is mine. If you have a problem with me, then quit pussy-footing around and come out with it. If you dont have a problem, then stop complaining.

also, when is this damn poll going up?

Well sure, then i would be more than happy to make the poll. But how did we decide to set it up, someone (i forget who) had a good idea in saying that only modelers or people who joined the contests should vote. But i dont think that the public should be ignored.

I propose a split vote. A public vote that 50% and then a modeler's vote for 50% or something like that. Any suggestions? ideas? comments?

We can decide what to do in that matter later, let us get the poll up and running and the votes rolling in. MODELING COMPETITION 15 THEME POLL
