Modelling Contest #18 - Aberrations

[Pyritie]

So this ends at the beginning of 2011?

No, look at the first post. For whatever reason on the calendar I can't set anything to have a start date past dec 31st 2010.

 

[Direfury]

It's all the same to me.

Anyway, I've decided to recolor the skin.

WIP

 

[Raven0]

@ Vermillion

Looks creep as hell :0, I wish you would make the chains 3d though

@ Illidan

That walk animation is so fluent, it's epic ^-^

 

[Misha]

well that's one freaky thing, Verm.

 

[Direfury]

I'm just getting started.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Question, would we actually be permitted to use this as the concept for the model or must it be self invented stuff ?

Hidden

Thnx to nitrous of course for pointing out this superb concept

T.

 

[Deolrin]

This concept is considered a construct, not an aberration.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Why are people so fascinated by undead fatties...

 

[Taylor Mouse]

OK...
would this be ok then ? ( just checking whats in and wats not )

Yep, that's a Gug, straight out of a HP Lovcraft story. Just bout anything from Lovecraft is an aberration.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Some material and unwrapping action. Requested by Tr!KzZ.

Also, I've added some more geometry to my aberration. It's now at a stunning 636 triangles.

 

[wereguy2]

Dammit, Taylor!

Hidden

tags!

 

[Deolrin]

Holy shit, Illidan! With 3DS Max, you can just get the whole shape unwrapped(remapped) perfectly with a single click? Without the need to manually remap like every single side of the object? That's so much better than Milkshape!

Although, it does seem a lot more complicated.

And yeah, Taylor_Mouse, please use

Hidden

tags, your image is stretching the page.

Yep, you can even get plugins where all you do is place seams, hit a button, and everything is completely unwrapped

I dunno why people even still use milkshape, it's so primitive in comparison

..we got used to it..?

 

[Thrikodius]

I changed my concept. The BloodSpawn was too cute and not freaky enough imo.
The new one is called Fred. I go with in-game textures on this one to increase the quality. If I have time I may replace the texture with a custom one but it's unlikely.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

Just started modeling the portrait model.

 

[Misha]

so.. why don't we just give the trophy to Illidan, hm? >

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Dammit, Taylor!

Hidden

tags!

So... why is it again I need to use this tag ?

And no need to swear for that...

T.

 

[wereguy2]

Large images stretch the page! Stretching is not good! *flails*

 

[ike_ike]

so.. why don't we just give the trophy to Illidan, hm? >

Considering you're a judge, I don't think that's the brightest thing to say.

Unduly swayed opinions and all, yus.

 

[Jaret]

Illidan(Evil)X... God. That's my fave model on THW right now. It's so fluent, and the Portrait just plain kicks ass!

 

[Mechanical Man]

...

Why always such phrases for a model which is currently last submitted?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Cos it is just the way people are, MM

 

[RiotZ]

Yep, that's a Gug, straight out of a HP Lovcraft story. Just bout anything from Lovecraft is an aberration.

I guess we won't be seeing Cthulhu then...

AGGHH!!!

 

[Jaret]

I said it because it has superb animations, Great mesh and great texture. I'm sorry that it's his last War3 model, because it's a shame.

 

[Direfury]

Cthulu is a puss.

Eldritch kicks his ass.

 

[RiotZ]

Wtf is Eldritch?

 

[Direfury]

Well, two pages ago, theres a purple tentacle-thing sitting around.

 

[RiotZ]

I don't see him.. Plus Cthulhu kicks the ass of any creature.

 

[wereguy2]

Having not read any of Lovecraft's work, I am pretty sure that Cthulhu is actually fairly minor compared to some of the older Elder Things (or however they're called).

 

[Cavman]

Yep. Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, and Nyarlathotep are all significantly more powerful. Infact, if I remember correctly, Cthulhu is Azathoth's grand nephew or something.

But for those that still want ideas, Shub-Niggurath's children are also a good idea.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

Please stay on topic in regards to the models. Discussing lore will prolly help give people better isnpiration but it seems like we are going off topic

PS: Someone reported this thread because it was going off topic. If you have a problem with the thread, just say so on the thread instead of reporting it. seriously. The problem will be solved quicker and by itself.
Mods dont have to clean up everything.

 

[ike_ike]

WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST TO BRING YOU BUCKETFACE. his face is a bucket!

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Woah ike_ike, i love your concept. The colors fit really well too.... but is it me, or does he look a little pail?

 

[Urwaldbewohner]

WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST TO BRING YOU BUCKETFACE. his face is a bucket!

Lol he looks like me.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Woah ike_ike, i love your concept. The colors fit really well too.... but is it me, or does he look a little pail?

Oh you....

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I'm interested in joining the call

Here is what I had in mind, something from the Torchlight universe

Concept:

3D model soon

Good luck with that, dude

 

[wereguy2]

This is gonna be good...

 

[Thrikodius]

Here you may see the skeleton of the freak that is Fred.

 

[ike_ike]

WHOOSH
BAM
WHAM
DONE.

well, except for special effects and that. but i'm terrible at those, so this'll probably be the last post.

 

[Direfury]

My submission has a few problem animations, but its nothing a few tweaked geoset anims won't fix.

 

[Deolrin]

@Vermillion - Then... Why do you have to announce it if you don't need help fixing it anyways?

@Ike - Looks rather cool.

 

[Direfury]

Simple, I don't like just randomly asking for things out of nowhere.

Now on that note, I heard that you could have bone translations/rotations become Linear when exported from Milkshape, anyone know how to pull that off?

 

[Misha]

I've downloaded your model, shryke, and it all looks cool.. however.. there are a number of skinning flaws, such as the lower part of the shoulder?-thingies? and his tail-crotch area. tested it in WE to confirm and it still shows deformations in these places

it would be cool if you could re-attach vertices there in a better fashion, and.. he could use claws on legs :>

overall, pretty cool

EDIT: vermilion@ You should "comment" every bone in milkshape with a word

Linear

 

[Direfury]

Comment as in...
Head, Linear or something of the like?

 

[Misha]

every bone in the "joints" tab in milkshape has a button named "comment" so you just click on every joint separately and press that button, then you type in the word "Linear"

 

[Direfury]

Oh, good, this'll be very useful.

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, I didn't know that Misha, thanks a lot! I'm trying to animate stuff in Milkshape at the moment(without a lot of luck so far), and I suppose it'll help me in the future.
