Next Texturing Contest

[THE_END]

No, on UI, elementals, and not sure if anyone said it, POKEMON. Yes buildings sounds like a nice idea gentlemen

 

[Pyritie]

+1 to buildings


and I was thinking of doing the UI contest separately (but not at the same time as a texturing contest) during the exam low-season

 

[Mr.Goblin]

UI is just something so damn hard to do.. but.. we might get some usefull stuff if people participate.

 

[Stanakin]

I like buildings, maybe expand it to include doodads/destructables (that don't necessarily look like buildings) too? We have very few of those skins as well.

Or perhaps a doodad pack, using one of those textures that are used for lots of doodads like his one I made a long time ago: Click!

 

[FrIkY]

I give +1 kodo for buildings, that sounds interesting.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Building theme it's nice, in case I will be doing anymore building models in future, so I will not be restricted to the already over-used existing textures.

 

[Windu]

Let's have a sci-fi terrain scene cotest?

Space station, laboratory, storage, indsutrial building, town view, highway with cars, barracks?

Something like that?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Buildings or UI. I'd probably skin an ancient anyway.

 

[M0rbid]

Seems like all like buildings: so now it should just be the question: what to do with the buildings.

My suggestions (some are already mentioned) :

- transforming a standard wc3 building (or doodad) into a scifi (modern) building
- transforming a standard wc3 building (or doodad) into a building of another warcraft race
- transforming a standard wc3 building (or doodad) into a building of a specific other warcraft race

 

[D a w n]

just buildings, no theme

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I agree. no theme buildings

 

[THE_END]

Yea no theme, let the contest be free form, so just Buildings
k if everyone agrees, I shall start this tomorrow

 

[M0rbid]

That would be awesome

 

[67chrome]

All right, buildings sounds good

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Buildings will do fine.

 

[Dionesiist]

And tomorrow has kind of passed.

 

[THE_END]

And I do not have the form to make the contest and haven't gotten it from Dentothor yet because he has not sent it, and Pyrite wants to do his UI contest..so everyone be mad at not me

 

[Pyritie]

I didn't want to do the UI contest now. >__>

 

[Dionesiist]

Atone for your sins and do the texturing contest instead...

 

[Arowanna]

Dead again?

 

[67chrome]

If nothing happens with this by Friday I'll start it up, (Pacific Standard Time on that date mind you). I've got finals right now, and don't really have the motivation to do anything work-orientated until I'm officially done with school. (which is this Friday)

 

[Dionesiist]

Hello Friday.

 

[67chrome]

Woops, ok...on Saturday XD

edit-Ok, contest is hosted

 

[Arowanna]

So... Next contest..?

 

[Stanakin]

Here are some ideas for the next texturing competition:

Doodad pack - take one of those textures that apply to lots of doodads and make a fitting doodad pack out of it.
Original Species - convert a Warcraft unit into an entirely new race or creature that you have created yourself and that doesn't exist in any story, game, movie, etc.
Total Conversion - texture a warcraft unit in such a way that it resembles the original as little as possible. Preferably have the head in another place than it was on the original model, change the legs into something else, etc.
Race Conversion - The same theme as texturing competition #2, take a warcraft model and texture it to fit either the alliance, horde, scourge or sentinels. I think this is till fun and interesting and should provide useful skins for mappers.
Creeps - Same as above, but you have to convert something into a unit of one of the creep races, like ogres, centaurs, etc.
Animals - Convert a warcraft unit into a real world-animal. Could include anthropomorhpic characters as well.

 

[Arowanna]

Good examples Stanakin!
Creeps would be awesome, in my opinion!

 

[Deolrin]

Well, hopefully the next Texturing AND Modeling contests will be combined.

 

[Arowanna]

As stated in that thread, that would be awesome.
But why not have two contests up and running at the same time..? It won't hurt anyone

 

[M0rbid]

I guess this would be to much work, if contestants would have to get entrys for both competition or it would steal away users from one contestant which would not be appreciated I guess!

 

[THE_END]

Naw I'd say you skin an ingame model for the contest, and the model for the contest will be a mod of some sort using ingame textures that work to make a new unit in-game

 

[Pyritie]

Can we do UI yet? It's summer break now so lots of people will have time.

(Yes, UI needs multiple textures, but a lot of it is empty space. Also you don't have to worry about how it looks on the model because UIs are WYSIWYG.)

 

[Deolrin]

Can't it be Texturing\Modeling contest as already planned instead? :/
I thought we're just waiting for the current modeling contest to be over.

 

[Pyritie]

oh right, sorry, I'm kinda out of it today

 

[Dionesiist]

Are the next Modeling/Texturing contests going to be separate again?

 

[67chrome]

I guess so. What does everyone want to do for the next texturing contest?

 

[Direfury]

Something dark, preferably.

 

[PROXY]

Are the next Modeling/Texturing contests going to be separate again?

Yes, let's make them seperate again

 

[Dionesiist]

Frankenstein's Monster!

 

[Figueiredo00]

Undeads

 

[Arowanna]

Orcs, pretty please?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Would it be completely biased to ask for trolls? x)

I guess it's a bit too limited.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Unless you want to make trolls outside the warcraft lore.

 

[Pyritie]

Anyone up for UI?

 

[Cavman]

Anyone up for UI?

that would be cool.

 

[Direfury]

Non-fuzzy creature to fuzzy creature would be fun.

 

[67chrome]

I actually wouldn't mind hosting a UI contest. Probably make it last 2+ months and offer more reputation for prizes to get a decent array of entries. With the time contests usually take to run, poll, and finish it could offer a greater % of time for work and cut back the time spent on judging and polling, as they wouldn't need to be extended as well. It would probably be really laid back, but hopefully with more time anyone who would desire to participate would be able to set aside the time to do so within the contest time frame.

I've heard trolls and undead brought up as well; I think doing a WC3 style horde theme (orcs, trolls, tauren, kodo beasts, everything in the horde faction in WC3) would be cool. (The WoW horde faction would be omitted from the theme, as it is extremely broad).
Also either an undead scourge or forsaken themed contest would be a possibility.

 

[Pyritie]

A lot of people are intimidated by a UI contest just because you have to skin several 512x512 textures. Yes it's big but most of that area is empty space - that's what people forget.

The minimap is empty. The main area where the hero/unit info goes is empty. The portrait box is empty. The inventory thing is mostly empty with thin gridlines.

 

[Kwaliti]

I'd go with UI.

 

[M0rbid]

Me too, try to host it with a long duration like 2 months!
I think right now would be a good time, too!

I can't wait to see this getting hosted!

Me wants ui! ♥
