Next modelling contest

[Devine]

The poll is up, the models are being judged. Modelling contest 12 will be over soon so I guess we can discuss the next one 's theme.
I think the next theme could be a race swap, like human swordmaster (blademaster) and human archer. We could also do some warcraftish craft like a demolisher or ballista. Post your ideas here and then the mods can make up a poll.

 

[Linaze]

How about making male versions of female models? Hehehe...

No really, wc2 building models.

 

[Mr. Bob]

HQ original WC3 models.

 

[Kyrbi0]

What were some of the ideas from the last contest (that didn't make it)?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Buildings.

 

[Elenai]

Buildings

 

[Linaze]

Buildings, but... Wc2 buildings!

 

[Deathcom3s]

Buildings sounds good, i would join if we did do buildings.

 

[~Void~]

How about doodads? Rocks or trees!

 

[Deathcom3s]

How about doodads? Rocks or trees!

That's the terrainer in you speaking, lol.

I actually think it wouldn't be too bad to do a doodads contest.

 

[Lord_T]

hmm... how about A replacement for an old unit, in terms of role. Like, instead of footman, you could do an axeman, a pikeman, a shieldwoman, whatever, so long as it fills the role of light melee.

That kind of thing would be sexy.

 

[Xatoga]

Music unit music unit music unit

 

[Elenai]

I really liked the buildings idea...

 

[Ghost765]

yah, there arent too many buildings around the hive anyways. high quality buildings atleast.

 

[Just_Spectating]

how about a city pack?

 

[Gilles]

What about a theme for the buildings? Just leave it open?

 

[Elenai]

But...buildings for actually play..not just terrain D:

 

[Just_Spectating]

how about towers?





for actual play.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Whatever it is, I want it to actually be useful in-game.

That being said; Buildings. Or Tavern Heroes. (or heck, heroes of any kind. )

 

[Just_Spectating]

How about some Beefy Tanking Beasty heros/units

ex: abomination, tauren, sasquach, pit lord

 

[skrab]

yah, there arent too many buildings around the hive anyways. high quality buildings atleast.

What? You need some barracks?

i like this idea too but only if we do scratch modeling


About the buildings themes maybe Inn's, arabic or gothic styles, maybe small structures for animals (like pig,sheep,cow farms lol), castles...
Or we could just leave it open?
Because the buildings theme is simple we could add some rules and restrictions like
poly count or at least 2 or 3 upgrade animations :/

Or maybe magic users/casters theme

 

[Linaze]

I like the buildings theme. But perhaps restrict it to a building for a creep race? Such as a Gnoll Barracks, a Ogre Mound, a Murloc Hut etc.

 

[s4nji]

What about Traditional Attacking Machines, like Modify-ing Ballista/Meatwagon/Siege Engine/Catapult to something better, but not too futuristic...

 

[arthas_king]

Satyr unit contest !!! note:i think it woulb be very hard\

 

[D a w n]

if you guys really want to do buildings that make this rule:

you have to create at least 2 buildings or 1 building with 1 or 2 upgrades.

 

[Linaze]

If the theme would come to be buildings, a rule must be that the buildings need proper birth/death etc. anims so they can be used properly in custom techtrees.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

I'd go for either large creatures/beasts/monsters or small critters.

 

[Kyrbi0]

What about Traditional Attacking Machines, like Modify-ing Ballista/Meatwagon/Siege Engine/Catapult to something better, but not too futuristic...

^This is kinda cool... I mean, we already have Catapults (Orc), Ballistas/Glaive Throwers (NE) and stuff like that... But what about a mini-Trebuchet (not the realistic one out there)? Or a "dart-slinger" that fires sideways? (could be arrows, too).

Or similar to the above; a Goblin siege unit that's like one of the Robo-Goblin's shoulder-rocket pods, on wheels. So it wheels around, and then a plate slams into the back and shoots all these rockets out.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

There was already a doodad-set contest (or was that a building with bonus doodads contest?).

Contest 5, neutral structure + doodads.

So something similar with a different theme? Replace "Neutral structure" with "bacon".

 

[Elenai]

I'm tired of 'creep' themed contests..

Just make it 'make a building/set' for any race.

 

[Dionesiist]

You do realize that even if many people are requesting buildings, most will probably not enter?

 

[Devine]

I do like buildings idea
but
Give your own ideas instead of breaking others down.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I think new versions of already ingame wc3 buildings would be nice.

Like high-rez.

 

[Kyrbi0]

*cough* paulH *cough*

Please no. Let's do something creative; isn't that what modelling is at it's most basic? Creative expression?

*gets off his soapbox*

 

[Just_Spectating]

do the Big Beasts Contest


Gruuuullll

 

[Xatoga]

But I already made a gronn. I couldn't use that then.

And I'm kinda iffy on the buildings idea, cuz when we did it last time there were only 3 entries, and we had to extend it even more than usual.

 

[Deathcom3s]

I think RDZ is trying to say something, but i'm not sure.

I wasn't around when you did the building contest, so i didn't know was that much of a failure.

 

[Xatoga]

Someone can never take a humorous aside lightly.

SPOILER: It's Elenai.

 

[Devine]

W/e.
Ontopic please.
The poll will decide mkay =)

 

[Mechanical Man]

I always joined a contest if it had the theme I suggested (and always finished last ). skrab is reliable too. Still now I'm on a heavy duty doing buildings for a secret project, so I may drop one here.

 

[Kyrbi0]

The poll will decide mkay =)

~~~

Alright, so the underlying theme for this kind of thread is "try to steer the contest so that multiple Modellers are fulfilling your unspoken [Requests]".

Y'know what we don't have enough of here? Altars. And Trolls. Jungle Trolls. *cough*

xD

 

[Elenai]

I think an altar would be pretty sweet.

 

[skrab]

I think an altar would be pretty sweet.

I agree.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Hey, so do I! We must be, like, related!

~~~

But is it too constrictive to have everyone do an Altar? Would it be better to just say "buildings" and include Altars in the examples? (or would it?...)

 

[Devine]

Altar is good...
for an alterate race that is...
and how about making sum townhall for a alterate race?
with 3 tiers.

 

[Pyritie]

Altar? Not going to happen. Far too restrictive.

Anyway, poll options we have so far:
- Buildings
- Critters
- Siege engines (didn't we have one of these a while ago? With the peon-pong tank?)
- Music unit
- Creep race building

Might've missed a few.

We had a town hall contest a while ago. Only had two or so entries, and that was with plenty of extensions.

 

[Linaze]

Critters must be the lamest theme possible.
I'd say Creep Race building.

 

[Pyritie]

Added.

 

[skrab]

Altar? Not going to happen. Far too restrictive.

If people want to do that theme why don't you allow them to do it?
lol

 

[Elenai]

Altars aren't restrictive lol!

You can make LOOOOOADS of things for it.

The statues alone are nearly infinite in possibilities.
