Paired Modeling/Texturing Contest #3 - Leaders

[Mister_Haudrauf]

Well it would make sense to make an extension. Otherwise the Contest would have been kind of Pointless? Okay not pointless, but still something along the lines of it.

Or had there been a Contest on Hive that was never concluded or 'finished' due to no finished entries?

 

[Murlocologist]

As far as FerSZ and I are concerned, we won't need any extension, we'll make it on time.

 

[Hantoo]

I wont ask for one but it would be great to have one

 

[Moy]

We are finished already, PROXY will upload it soon here. Lol

 

[Chen]

1-2 days could be enough for us to finish our entry(if I'm fast enough) but a week would be really great. Also who knows how much improvements we all can make during that time.

 

[PROXY]

I'll be gone the next week, so the extension would only make sense texture wise for us. But I'm all ears, maybd Dire and Traggey can finish theirs too then.

The more entries the better!

 

[Stefan.K]

I wouldn't need an extension modeling wise. But I don't know about if Heinvers will finish the texture.

 

[Hantoo]

Kurtalos DLC, Might or might not be for the contest depending on how fast Me and Chen can do this

 

[Heinvers]

Yeah, I'm certain that I'll deliver in time. Although, an extension won't be turned down if it comes to that.

 

[Moy]

We're done, it is uploaded now. I just don't wanna touch the texture anymore (it will look bad). Time to rest a bit.

Sargeras

Shit, Hayate. Sick design you've made. I just hope you'll finish this, for the contest or not.

Great, partner. Hope to see it finished soon.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Seems like most of the teams don't need an extension. A few expressed they're favorable to the extension to embrace more entries. Those who didn't express that - I presume - prefer that the deadline is respected. (correct me if I'm wrong)

We might hear from the other teams who showed WIP's to reach a final decision, but I guess the most reasonable decision for now would be not giving it (In case we have at least 3 entries at the deadline time).

I'm always up giving some times to the others to finish their entries.

 

[A.R.]

Our model is done, I'm about ~90% done with the texture (mostly some cleanup stuff and improving the colour composition) so we should hopefully be done by the deadline (which is about 49 hours from now, right?).
A few other things have jumped up in priority for me lately, though, so I certainly wouldn't complain about an extension if one happened

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ohhhhhh man. Who dat?

A little too skinny for warcraft, don't you think?

Looks nice. That not showing face to provoke curiosity strategy does work well with me

Well, me and @4eNNightmare have been putting up something those last few weeks. I didn't show because we're really uncertain we'll be able to finish and well, it's fine if we don't. At the same time, it's a waste to not even show a WIP, so here it goes:



Its name is Herald of the Deep Mother. It's an overweight murloc leader who likes to give orders and dislikes walking We might rush it in the next few hours we have, but well, don't have pity on us in case we don't make it We may finish it after the contest anyways.

Seems like we have a winner here

This thing is so awesome and unique

 

[Kyrbi0]

PALANQUIN!!!

 

[Ungoliath]

@HappyCockroach That looks incredible! Even if you guys don't make it in time for the deadline, I really hope you finish it

 

[Chen]

Probably last WiP

 

[Heinvers]

Not bad at all. Just be sure to tinker more with the highlights. As for us, I am currently finalizing the texture and then sending it over to Stefan.

I am excited to see the rest of your entries guys :]

 

[Stefan.K]

And we're done. The model is uploaded in the models section.

[Hantoo]

Unfortunately no "DLC" included

hopefully Chen can finish the texture before the deadline, seems to have some trouble with alpha

Untextured Sword

I've done my part, now I can only pray that chen can finish his wonderful texture, i can't wait to see the Sword to be textured

 

[Heinvers]

Pretty good. Maybe the animations are odd since the angle makes it so...

Are the sword's blade and fur parts alpha-eable? Not TC, I mean as transparent when you add alpha on them.

You can always wrap the sword to in game textures, Hayate.
Also, that sword looks huge..

Im kinda horrible when it comes to wrapping ingame texture, pretty much already gave up on doing ingame texture anymore

Giant sword are great init? Its even bigger than frostmourne fufufufufu

No idea

 

[Moy]

Or wrap it using the texture of the unit. In case you guys have little time.

OH YEAH IS FINALLY UP

 

[HappyCockroach]

This is a WIP from the team "In Treetops We Dwell"



Texture is in process by my teammate @4eNNightmare, who very unluckily had a heavy day at work, but we´re running against time!

Our final entry. Please add @FerSZ as author.

O_____________O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[A.R.]

Done! ... and with a whole minute to spare

 

[HappyCockroach]

Well then! We have 5 (incredible) entries submitted in good time to the contest before the deadline. So it may be declared closed.

---

Now, speaking as contestants, me and 4eNNightmare didn't finish yet. We'll be done in a few hours. And well, we might upload it here since it was meant to be an entry

One question would be: we include any late entrants with a -5 penalty on score? Or we close the contest without them? You may express your opinion here, or via PM in case you prefer. (just in case it matters to anyone, anonymity preserved.)

 

[FerSZ]

Mo'arg Overlord

Our final entry.

Thank you @Murlocologist, You saved me

 

[HappyCockroach]

And here go the late ones

Herald of the Deep Mother

Bad planning, bad luck, in the end we had to rush many things, but it's done. We were 4.5 hours late. If we enter or not, it is really up to the current contestants, the bigger fun is doing the model (As I suggested above, we may apply a penalty to late entrants, to keep it fair to people who did finish in time)

We could just say you guys made it in time.

 

[Kyrbi0]

As a non-contestant, I say 'yeah!'.

 

[Mike]

FerSZ and Murlocologist, what have you done?
You blinded me with your entry)

 

[HappyCockroach]

We could just say you guys made it in time.

No, no we can't do that
There should be a reason to deadlines be respected. Penalties come in handy to reinforce that.

But well... I guess everyone else's silence says a lot in this issue x)

I shall put up the poll soon, with the in-time entries only.

 

[FerSZ]

I know that deadlines exists for a reason, but what you proposed is fair enough. The effort, and work can't be dismissed so easily. I'm with you @HappyCockroach, your entry must be considered.

 

[Freddyk]

Great job everyone!

Happycockroach, 5 hours are nothing, to me (and probably most of us) it's perfectly fine to consider your entry valid for the contest without penalty.

 

[Hantoo]

Perfrctly fine for me for it to be no penalty

 

[PROXY]

Awesome entries guys! Love them all.

@HappyCockroach you can consider it a valid entry without penalty IMO

 

[Stefan.K]

I agree with others. As I said, it's okay to include your entries too.

 

[Traggey]

Wonderfull work everyone! Really wish I could've participated. Going to be hard to chose a favourite amongst these entries.

 

[Heinvers]

Likewise. You two did it in a reasonable delay.

Let it pass.

 

[HappyCockroach]

Alright then. People too kind here

I'll put up the poll soon, busy atm.

And whoever wants to be a judge, we'll be needing at least one modelling and one texturing judge.

 

[Traggey]

Since I couldn't participate I'll happily help out with the judging, I can judge both texture and model work, although the technical specifications regarding the WC3 engine such as attachment points and what not are beyond me.

Great! If anything we have you as a texturing judge only. I PM you soon to address this

As it is put at the guidelines, this is a test map with every entry implemented. Reasons are: It helps voters testing models in-game instead of in any viewer; It helps storing the entries here at the thread, even if bundles fade away/are deleted/updated; It comes in specially handy now since Import is broken at official WE.

Test Map Disclaimer

• I did my best to do justice to each of the models. You're able to alter it in the next 72 hours in case you think it's worth it, and send it back to me.
• No SFX, no spell names, no proper names, in-game missiles, or anything like that are used, so they don't create bias. It's only the raw model with animations playable through raw abilities.
• Scaling Value is kept 1.00. Default scale is important in some mechanical regards.

Poll is ready and should be up soon
