Next modeling contest.

skrab · May 24, 2009

The Modeling contest #13 was a huge success with 8 submissions.
So, while we're waiting for judge results for Modeling contest #13 we should discuss about the theme for the next Modeling contest.

Few themes i find interesting:
- Doodad pack
- Music unit
- Critters

Post yours!!!

D a w n · May 24, 2009

I like the critters idea

Mechanical Man · May 24, 2009

Something easier, since there is end of school and final exams for many people here I think.

Devine · May 24, 2009

yea ... so that'd be .... critters

skrab · May 24, 2009

Yea quick, simple and lowpoly critters would fit to this time of period.

Mr.Goblin · May 25, 2009

what about... critters house? (Dog house) Bird Nest, Beever house etc..

it would be really usefull .. for cinematics or maps.. etc.

BlinkBoy · May 25, 2009

the Musicians idea sounds nice.

Everyone should make a musician playing any instrument,

That sounds like a doodad pack.

Rizz_Boomer · May 25, 2009

please not again doodads. really.
Critters and musicans sounds nice....
non the less because i have already something in mind for these.

FrIkY · May 25, 2009

"Music units" sounds awesome. Here are some examples:

It would be awesome to have more of these.

Amaruak · May 25, 2009

Yeaap, musicians idea is freaking cool

Mechanical Man · May 25, 2009

requires custom animating and we don't wan't 100 versions of rocking arthas.

Unit playing electric guitar in cartoon medieval game?

That doesn't fit in this game and you know that.
Spirit breaker smashing with electric guitar? heh.... -.- it sux balls
I don't want to see 100 versions of rocking arthas too but i hope that people will understand...
I would like to see units like Kotobeast not some stupid electric guitar players...

Deolrin · May 25, 2009

I say critters. Its both easy and fun. And I have an idea already, too. Oh, and a ranged unit contest could be great as well.

Linaze · May 25, 2009

Ranged unit is too broad a theme in my opinion.

Kyrbi0 · May 25, 2009

I saw a really cool Badger creep from OH, so I think, given the current (*cough* exams) situation, Critter's is a great, low-intensity idea. Seriously, they're really simple.

Then again, if anyone's up for it, a more interesting modelling contest would be cool to see. I disagree that "Ranged Unit" is too broad; you can really do a lot with that one. Or rather, it's just broad enough.

(notice, we did the same thing with "mounted unit", one of the better Modelling Contests)

Mechanical Man · May 25, 2009

Critters would be awesome if somebody gets to work on an elephant.

D a w n · May 25, 2009

I already have an awesome idea, but I hope it would be accepted .....

Kuhneghetz · May 25, 2009

Either critter or musician.

Xatoga · May 26, 2009

I've been vouching for musician the past 2 times, so I'm still for that.

the idea is that you make something "Different" like an skeleton with a violin or a murloc with some african instrimunts.

plus critters has been done before.

D a w n · May 26, 2009

but not here at hive^^

Is there anything wrong with a broad theme? We've had several contests here with no theme, and they've still been successful. (Mind you, none of them were modelling contests

)

Exactly. You could make another electric guitar unit but I doubt that'd get very far in the poll or the judging. ;D

Pyritie · Jun 2, 2009

So what's the verdict?

skrab · Jun 2, 2009

I think critters lead but we should start a short poll.

Critters and Music unit

xXm0RpH3usXx · Jun 2, 2009

well, music units is okay, if its kinda restricted, like i fancy the idea to have a dwarf with a horn (viking style with dragon head at end)

or something else that makes sense, like the koto beast or a flag carrier with a horn (human like)

so not like rocking arthas!

Xatoga · Jun 3, 2009

I think both should be perfectly acceptable, though. I've had an idea for a while now of making a Goblin rock band, mounted on some big tank thing and using sonic attacks.

Hawkwing · Jun 3, 2009

Well, not that I'm participating, but I'm against Musicians because of their lack of usefulness. Critters could be both very useful and funny. Also, they don't need tons of animating.

i wouldnt say musicans are useless.
Many times there were bards in cruesades to keep
the troops motivation, also nowadays everyone knows
military bands or events like concerts etc to keep the
troops motivated.

Mr. Bob · Jun 3, 2009

Transforming unit theme.

For instance, the SC2 viking thing, is a good example of a transforming/morphing unit.

Music unit: As far as skill and creativity required, it's awesome. As far us usefulness goes, this is a crappy idea. Considering as how the only useful WC3 musical unit is a war drum player...

Doodads: Oh, lord no. For heavens sake, no more of the same thing over and over.

Creeps: Nice idea. But, still....the transforming unit theme sounds cooler...

HappyCockroach · Jun 3, 2009

I'm up to the musician contest. Of course they are useful.
A bard is damn useful. A drum warcrying thingy is useful as well.
Critters are plain boring imo, you can't flee from their boring reality, since they are extras, so they should be damn simple.

D a w n · Jun 3, 2009

critters, because it is much trickier to create a good critter with ingame textures than a musican.

I mean: I could make a musican out of everything, even out of a critter.......

a musican out of a critter?
sounds like alvin and the chipmunks

And suddenly, a good idea appears.

Rizz_Boomer · Jun 3, 2009

Hell no!
NO CRITTER MUSICANS!

Indeed. The musicians idea was crappy enough...

I still think morphing units would be awesome...

HappyCockroach · Jun 3, 2009

Morphing units for the damn win.
