Paired Modeling/Texturing Contest #1 - Warcraft Hero

[HappyCockroach]

one week plox.
in 3 days we won't get many entries :/

 

[Sellenisko]

Point....

 

[zadelim]

No offense. There is only 1 entry. If this contest only 1 entry. How the 2nd place and 3rd place would be? This is the new contest, not all member could be the same speed as them. Like "anarchianbedlam" just get his new partner with new concept. How could them finish all in one day? I suggest for extension.

Ok. Ehm. we got it now

 

[Deolrin]

I suggest a two week extension, so that absolutely EVERYONE could finish.

I glad to hear that.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Lol though I hate to say it, we must have an extension. Because, we only have one entry...and you can't really beat yourself.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Debode, that would be too awesome to be true.
I got some exams this week and uni works to do, I'll try to do both modelling and these along (probably will fail at uni because of my model ) and try to finish next saturday...

two week extension would be nice by the fact that if we make a 2-week extension it will be enough for everyone to finish, so no one shall beg for another extension and the contest will have a determinated end...

 

[skrab]

Well, I could post mine but the texture is... :S well I have no texture

I got some exams this week and uni works to do, I'll try to do both modelling and these along (probably will fail at uni because of my model ) and try to finish next saturday...

Tell me about it

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I am willing to give this a 2 week extension. But seriously, this HAS to be the last extension.

 

[HappyCockroach]

I am willing to give this a 2 week extension. But seriously, this HAS to be the last extension.

...and why is that so?
if everybody wants, there's no reason to not give it.
(l0w_kwaliti should agree also)

imo, giving 2 weeks will make the contest actually end, and satisfactorily...

 

[anarchianbedlam]

:/ fine, it doesnt HAVE to be the last extension, but it really should be. It's hard to tell sometimes how much time was really "out of their control."

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a chronic procrastinator. So I'm not personally asking for extensions anymore. And really, most of the texture and model can be worked on at the same time.

 

[Sellenisko]

I agree definitely.

 

[Direfury]

Thats plenty of time.

Oh, and if all goes well, I think Just_Spectating and I might be working together.

 

[zadelim]

Let's we finish it all in these last 2 weeks extension. Get it on guys!

 

[busterkomo]

I suggest a two week extension, so that absolutely EVERYONE could finish.

Or, they could've finished on the deadline like they should have. This is completely unfair to anyone with any time management skills at all. This is why we can't have fun contests anymore.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Or, they could've finished on the deadline like they should have. This is completely unfair to anyone with any time management skills at all. This is why we can't have fun contests anymore.

Indeed.

And btw, people, stop acting like we should just extend it till "everyone has a chance to finish". Thats completely retarded. Its a contest. Some win, some lose, some don't even finish. This is not a soccer game for 6 years olds that we don't keep score in. And please, stop saying that this means we aren't wanting to have fun. Thats an arrogant and idiotic thing to say. Believe it or not, some of us actually find competition to be fun. And yes, a contest is a competition.

I'm sick of this "too cool for deadlines" and the "everyone needs a chance" attitude. Its ridiculous.

 

[HappyCockroach]

overdramatic post.

 

[leet.firefox]

By over-dramatic I assume you mean completely appropriate.
Learn some time-management or stop joining these contests. All these time-extensions do is drag the contest out for those who actually try to compete, and provide unnecessary safety nets for all the slackers and lazy bums who can't get their shit together. If you're not either, then too bad. Life's rough, better luck next contest. If your life is that busy, you shouldn't be entering the contest in the first place. If something unavoidable happens that requires your full attention, then kindly dismiss yourself and let everyone else finish a contest on time for once.

 

[Mr. Bob]

overdramatic post.

No. Its true. I don't care who you are. A month is a long time to make a model. I don't care if you had exams every day of the month.

I spent a grand total of 3 hours stretched over one month on the model and anims. And I suck.

Please, don't tell me why you couldn't finish either. It doesn't matter. Its a deadline. And no, I'm not the grumpy guy who doesn't like fun. These extensions make it not fun.

But, in this case, we must have two entries, so an extension MUST happen. Two weeks is insane though.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Alright, go ahead with the contest with 1 entry or 2.

I've been busy indeed with real life stuff. We'll try to finish ours in time. If we don't, it's not a big deal, I won't put this contest's fun in risk.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Did you not read what I just said? And, we aren't talking about that. We are talking about your attitude in which you extend. It should be ONLY if we don't have 2 entries. Not so "everyone has a chance".

Exactly. It just makes it not fun for people who actually try.

It doesn't matter why you cant finish. If you don't finish, you don't finish. Hence the term 'deadline'. And, that last sentence is ironic.

 

[Direfury]

No. Its true. I don't care who you are.

And nobody really cares who you are, Bob. You want a contest with one entry? Sounds like a failure to me. Extensions are given so people with lives of their own can deal with their issues, instead of crying on the internet.

You should really stop bitching and let the people who need the extension discuss what they need to.

 

[Just_Spectating]

we've had multiple extensions before in other contests haven't we?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I will say this once. This is NOT going to turn into a drama thread. so everyone with a "heated" opinion, kindly calm the fuck down
1 week extension. and then in the imaculate words of samuel L jackson...

"POOL'S CLOSED!"

Mr.Bob, leet, and busterkomo, yes, too many extensions are a pain in the ass and unfair to those with time management skills. But guess what? Most modelers here DO NOT HAVE TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS! :O zomg, i know, its weird isnt it? Maybe it's because we are mostly teenagers with very little job experience. doing this stuff on our free time. But at the same time, i refuse to close a contest with 1 entry. that is retarded in every sense of the word. With that being said, i do agree with you partially. Hence, i will make this a 1 week extension. Many people claim they can finish in 1 week. so there you go. all we need is 3 or 4.

and for those such as revellion. Do not insult other users. 1st and last warning.

We do not have time management skills, but that doesnt mean that we shouldnt learn.

So one week. that's it. It's a compromise, and i do not want to hear any more of this. and certainly not in this manner. I am looking at bob, and revellion.
contest will close, permanently on sunday sept 19th 2010, 11:59pm.

end.of.discussion.

Modeling contests are srs bsns.

Like you said. Everyone must have a time management skill. I deal with the 1 week extension. For all users those haven't finish, use these time properly now. There is no more request to extend. We should not let others who finished to wait.

 

[skrab]

My partner graystuff111 left me so I'm without a partner. If someone is interested joining with me, please PM me.

 

[Direfury]

Firstly, nice postcount there.

Secondly, I know break-ups are always hard, and I've got some chocolate if you need any.

And third, I doubt it'll take long to find one.

 

[Mr. Bob]

Firstly, nice postcount there.

lol just noticed that haha

@Skrab, I think there are still a few texture artists in the recruitment thread.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

You could try pyramidhe@d. I think devine left

 

[Titania]

Still one model passed up? :<

Cool, but a different death might look loads better. Maybe use the Beastmaster's death and dissipate? the Eredar death doesn't look so good on non-demon models.

 

[Lich Prince]

Yeah I agree with Cavman. Not only does the Death animation need change, but the Spell Slam animation aswell imo. Since the Eredar Spell Slam is kind of Intelligent-like and the Hero you're creating is obviously Strength/Agility based.

 

[D a w n]

it also seems like a particle overkill based on your screenshots

 

[DarkKnight]

More is not always better I guess.

 

[kola]

yeah maybe change the death anim and also, make the cap team color maybe? would make the team color very clear.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think you should use like, doom guard death animation, and beastmaster spell slam animation

 

[shamanyouranus]

You could have fed 900 starving africans with all those particles.

 

[67chrome]

You could have fed 900 starving africans with all those particles.

Could just be technical issues with whatever program was used to take the screenshots. From personal experience WC3Viewer seems to keep adding particle effects and overlapping them on my computer, so if I don't disable particle effects outright anything that uses them turns in to a glowing white blob that devours all my ram

Also, magical and spellcaster-esque effects on melee units are still workable, they look fine on primarily melee based characters such as paladins and death knights, so as long as the hero isn't going to be used purely as an entirely physical charter their could be some use to it.

If the death animation is the Erader one though that should definitely be changed. Not that it's particularly feasible but it would be pretty sweet if he morphed out of lycanthropy when he died and disipated as a human

 

[zadelim]

If I use its default animation with the particles disappear in flame it won't fit? My partner dunno about the animation transfer. I try reduce the particles on others animation. I using War3ModelEditor to view model.

Particle Table
Animation	Particles Count (Normal)	Particles Count (Max)
Spell	113-125 particles	229-239 particles
Spell Slam	26-141 particles	141 particles
Death	43-58 particles	63 particles

 

[Direfury]

I don't think you can give any model with Eredar animations anything other animations, so if you really want to make the model customizeable, I'd suggest Druid of the Claw anims as a base.

 

[PROXY]

No, Druid of the Claw anims don't fit at ALL. I suggest just trying fiddling around with other animations.

 

[D a w n]

you can give the eredar model almost every animationset. Take a look at http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...nkerwinkles-anim-transfer-155250/#post1437134 . It should explain you how to make it work.

 

[Direfury]

Well you can screw around with the animations in Warshape, right? Just use DotC as a base, add in additional fitting animations, get rid of the ones you don't want and screw with it in Warshape before finalizing it.

Also, you can't give any model with Eredar animations anything extra.

 

[D a w n]

Oh really?? I must have some wrong wc3 then, because I just added the ghoul walk to the eredar model. The important bones are all moving(root, chest, head, legs+feet,arms+hands)
