Special-Texturing Contest - The Fantastic Adventurer UI

[Moy]

Damn, still haven't had progress
Really busy these days

 

[Wildfire]

Another wip

 

[Archian]

Looks promising

 

[Kwaliti]

Originally I wanted the whole UI to be more in line with Diablo's atmosphere, but I scratched it as probably too gimmicky, so after playing around with layout options, I figured it's not a really bad idea to implement some elements similar to the style.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Wow, that's pretty stokin'

Damn, looks awesome. Maybe you could try turning the other demon into an angel (like the diablo health/mana orbs). Also the inventory cover could open up to the right like a vault when a unit with an inventory is selected.
Just a few suggestions, I'm really interested to see how it will look finished, good luck!

 

[Jumbo]

Kwaliti, any chance of an ingame screenshot? It can help to form a more educated opinion about it

 

[Kwaliti]

None usable just yet. I have some clipping issues at the top of the UI with the wings which I'll have to sort out before any real in-game tests.

Probably, I'll play around, see what works so I don't break the uniformity too much. The idea is that it hinges at the top, creating a convenient place for the Inventory label once open.

 

[trebla ratilla]

another WIPs, need more improvement .. practice more!

Edit : i see, all WIPs are amazing, i love them

Spoiler: wips

 

[Kwaliti]

Another WIP. I really felt that the Blizzard empty inventory slots fit best, so I kept them. Gonna start working on the left side now.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Great WIPs in here! Can't wait to see them finished.

Tbh, after the first month I kinda feared that we would not get enough submissions, but now it seems like this is actually gaining some traction here.

 

[Naze]

This is fucking awesome. I can't even give any constructive criticism, you totally nailed it already haha. However I can say that I never enjoyed the circular unit portrait much though, in case you're going for that. But that's just me.

 

[Kwaliti]

I actually dropped the circular portrait idea, didn't work out in the slightest.

By the way, looking great, Naze!

New update. Map and top areas left for now, also some stuff I intend to fix/add, like some slight misalignments, backlights and whatnot.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Just updated the contestant table with the new WIPs you guys all posted! All of them are looking amazing, I can't wait to see them in the database ;D let me know if any of your WIP links are broken or missing.

 

[Moy]

Finally did something. I am totally unsatisfied with my previous one so I started from scratch again. Started with the Clock.

 

[Archian]

Great WIP @Naze Neat idea for the map section! Love it!

@Kwaliti That's freaking awesome. Loving the style. Very nice UI indeed. Loving all the details i.e. sword, helmet, candle etc.

@~Nightmare Looking real promising! Too bad about your previous though. Hope this turns out to your liking because it's coming along nicely.

 

[Wildfire]

All wip are so cool~

Here my wips with the ingame screenshot

 

[Naze]

@Kwaliti Yeah that arch portrait is indeed much better! I'm officialy in love with that hanging sword. Perspective/depth there is quite impressive, great work.

@~Nightmare nice to see you at it again. Looking good. The clock idea of your previous entry wasn't bad though.

@Wildfire cool idea with the clock there! The rest lacks definition though, but yeah it's still a WIP.

@Archian thx!

 

[Kwaliti]

So, finally done with the main body of the interface. What remains is the top area, some minor tweaking and polishing and, if time allows, some additional elements.

 

[Archian]

Potions!

Love the gold bag. Any idea for the cursor?

 

[trebla ratilla]

another wips. hope i can make it .

edit : ah, where should i post my finish project sir?

Spoiler: wips 1

Spoiler: wips 2

 

[Kwaliti]

Potions!

Couple of ideas in the air, have to see what fits most.

I've done all the main elements, but I messed it up while cutting the image and exporting to .blp, and the buttons seem misaligned, so no in-game screenshots until I fix that.

 

[Naze]

edit : ah, where should i post my finish project sir?

Simply attach the files and to a post here and call it your final entry! Upload it to the skin section of this site. Also, watch out for that green vine over your minimap, I don't know that region permits to have objects over the map.

I don't think I'll be able to work on this anymore so this'll be my final entry:

Stained Glass Adventurer UI

 

[Kwaliti]

Alright, here's my entry as well!

Dungeonmaster UI

Some time ago, we made a new policy that states that all entries to contests must be submitted in their respective resource section where the staff will give it a special tag called Contest Entries. The reason for this is that soo many wonderful resources are lost or hidden away in old contest threads and because we want users to be able to seach the resource section and find contest entries.

So I'm gonna have to ask you to submit your final entry to the Texture/Skin section like Kwaliti did.

 

[Naze]

Hmm that's true! I'm gonna do that.

Also, it'd be a good thing to have this stated the somewhere in the contest rules, that's why I was mistaken. So yeah @trebla ratilla forget what I said, you should upload your final entry to our skin section.

Edit: there it is now! Stained Glass Adventurer UI

This is the first time I've heard some reasoning behind that Rule which, up till now I've been an opponent of. I still think it could be improved with requiring upload *after* the Contest, in order to get the Rep... But this thread isn't really the place for that discussion, lol

 

[Wildfire]

My wip, the concept has been altered a bit

 

[HappyTauren]

Shit, Kwaliti's entry really puts "Fantastical" into practice, both in quality and concept.

 

[trebla ratilla]

Spoiler: don't open

Hi everyone.

Sorry , i can't make it because i have something to do about my personal work. i resign. Hope you understand sir. i'll take a leave a few days.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I'd say it's fine to extend this for another week to wait for the other participants? Having just two entries that qualify for the contest (especially if there's 3 prices) would be suboptimal.

 

[Archian]

Very well, let's extend the deadline by one week giving the rest of the contestants time to finnish their entries.

NEW DEADLINE - September 27th, 2017, GMT.

 

[Just_Spectating]

hot damn, maybe i have time after all

 

[Moy]

I still don't know if I could finish mine since there are so many things to do and I only have 2 days off (on which I still do some real life things XD).
Let me see if something motivates me for the last week.

 

[Jumbo]

You MUST :-D

 

[Wildfire]

My entry: Elements UI

 

[KILLCIDE]

Updated entries table again. As always, let me know if I missed any of your WIPS or if the links are wrong. Keep it up folks!

 

[Deolrin]

I know it's ridiculous, but maybe another extension is in order? It certainly isn't unheard of for contests to get extended several times on the Hive, and moreover, creating a UI is a daunting and time-consuming task, second only to creating several models, or a map / custom race. That would give more people a chance to finish, and mayhap even draw new blood into the contest.
All of the entries are looking lovely, by the way, and I long to see the unfinished ones completed.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I think thats up for the mods to decide. I personally would love to see the other entries get finished aswell, but it could be unfair for those who finished in time.

 

[Deolrin]

It could be up to the contestants who finished, as is sometimes the case with these contests.

 

[Moy]

Some progress still don't know if I could finish this XD

Looks very empty atm

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I like the overall style though. Looks Diablo-esque. Maybe some more decorations or ornaments could make it more visually interesting?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Naw man. Mods are just arbiters & executors of will; in the Contest, the Host is essentially in charge, though most decisions like that should (generally polite) be determined through consensus of the Contestants.

 

[KILLCIDE]

^ what he said.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

So what do the contestants say then?

 

[Just_Spectating]

extension

 

[Archian]

Very well, lets extend the deadline so the last contestants can Finnish their entry. This will be the last extension gents.

NEW DEADLINE - October 10, 2017 GMT.

 

[Archian]

5 days left guys. Lets see some final entries!

 

[Just_Spectating]

 

[KILLCIDE]

@~Nightmare @Just_Spectating @trebla ratilla how are your entries looking? You're the only 3 that posted WIPS, but have no entry ^^
