Challenger:
SuPa-


Opponent(s):
Werewulf
Cavman

Challenge Duration:
(14 days maximum)

Proposed Reputation Award:
(20 points maximum)
20


Challenge judging:
Appointed judge


Model-specific conditions:

File size: Irrelevant

Polycount: Anything considered medium to high poly

Other: The model shall be monster themed and be a scene (picture) Animating is not needed for this unless you want it to pose your model


Texture-specific conditions:

File size: Irrelevant

Other: Can include bump maps, displacement maps, normal maps, textures, etc.


Other challenge conditions:
Details: Another condition would be that we would make this as fair as possible and help each other out if we are unable to do certain things. I want little to no handicaps here

Also, you must have at least one WIP picture of your model as well as a final product picture. A 360 rotation GIF is an optional inclusion, but would be preferred

[Cavman]

I accept the challenge. May the best sentient beign win.

 

[SuPa-]

So, should we have a time restriction? I'd think not, it takes awhile to make a high poly model. Also, judges or poll?

 

[Dionesiist]

I have thought of this and have come to a conclusion. I'm in.

 

[Pyritie]

Will you be submitting one picture or are you judging from a 360-degree view?

 

[TDR]

I have thought of this and have come to a conclusion. I'm in.

may I ask you how exactly are you going to make a mid-high poly model? As far as I know you don't know 3ds max, maya, xsi, zbrush etc...Or maybe I'm wrong?

 

[Dionesiist]

That does not really matter as you'd simply laugh at my explanation.

 

[SuPa-]

Pyritie, good idea, I guess the 360 view could be optional

 

[TDR]

by the way, it's called "turntable animation".

 

[Wolverabid]

Also, you must have at least one WIP picture of your model as well as a final product picture. A 360 rotation GIF is an optional inclusion, but would be preferred

Um... is this a modeling challenge? If so the "final product" would have to be a .mdx file, not pictures.

It looks like 'wulf has yet to pick up the gauntlet, SuPa-: you might consider sending out a PM.

 

[donut3.5]

Wolverabid - They are planning to make high poly models, such as that a mdx file would not be optimal.

I'm supprised you didn't ask me that.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Make me judge, I hate you all equally.

 

[Kimbo]

yeah im in, might be slow as im getting terrible stress and loss of spare time from school.

 

[SuPa-]

Werewulf, it's fine if you work slow, also, glad to see you've accepted and have sealed our fates of loss

Make me judge, I hate you all equally.

;-) you know it, buddy

 

[TDR]

I'm supprised you didn't ask me that.

well I barely know you.
oh and can I also judge?

 

[Infinitynexus]

You may not, you do not have the level of loathing for hive users that I have developed!

 

[hellclown]

so you loath your self???

BTW:do any of the competitors want to join the modeling team??

 

[TDR]

You may not, you do not have the level of loathing for hive users that I have developed!

THE HIVE SUCKS!

now I do.

also, typos in signatures are kinda embarrassing, aren't they hellclown?

 

[SuPa-]

TDR, sure, you could judge. You give good criticism, even though it might be negative , it wouldn't matter

 

[TDR]

well it's only negative if you do bad things...naturally.

 

[SuPa-]

Someone approve ithis already xD

I have a concept in my head and i waunt 2 m03dl! And I can't make a digital painting of it because I suck

 

[Wolverabid]

This challenge is approved, has begun and shall conclude on 27 February, 2008 at 00:00 (GMT).

Sorry guys: open duration challenges are not permitted, however, I've alloted three weeks for this one.

The victor shall receive 20 reputation points.

A public poll shall determine the winner (unless all challengers request a judge, in which case I will appoint one).

 

[SuPa-]

I think I found a new concept

 

[Dionesiist]

Guess I'll just be the first to post WIPs. Thanks to SuPa- for rendered screenshots.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

This gotta be a hell of a challenge!Place your bets!

 

[SuPa-]

I've been working on it for 2 hours so far since around 4 AM (right now it's 6 AM)
The reason it's "upright" like a humanoid right now is because it's easier to model that way, and the monster is a biped anyway
I used TDR's giant model WIP as a reference for the muscles and stuff

 

[Cavman]

Well, good news.

As SuPa knows, I was freaking out a bit casue I thought i'd have to drop out due to school stuff. Well, not it's almost the exact opposite, I'm gonna dothis cause of school. I'm gonna "teach a class" about modeling, and the thing I'm gonna make in the class is, my monster, which I'm finaly gonna start over the weekend. Now, I'm not qualified to teach everything about modeling, but I can atleast teach the basics. Besides, I don't really care if they get good at it, I just wanna graduate.

Post a wip tommarow

 

[SuPa-]

SWEET! Dude, that's really cool. Best of luck

Here's another shot of my model. I discovered the magical Smooth modifier (not MeshSmooth, just Smooth)

 

[donut3.5]

I'd hate to have to itch my balls if I were that guy.
--donut3.5--

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I disagree donut, but why does it look like it has breasts?

SHE MAN!!!

 

[Belgarath]

All of them look cool, I like Supa's better though, just looks ... more realistic, I guess.

@Kaitech: It's called muscle...

 

[Kimbo]

working on the legs atm, the anatomy is off with the front, im starting to regret having 1 at front instead of 2.


quickly added 2 fronts instead

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

How can you model that great?this contest has no poly limit?

 

[SuPa-]

Uchiha, this is a medium to high poly contest, so yeah, there's no poly limit

Here's a WIP of me constructing the head and neck

OK, I finished the upper body

 

[Cavman]

Sorry, for not putting up a wip yesterday, was busy. I need some help though. How do you extrude in Gmax?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Wow they are going to be amazing!How much size a model would be?

 

[donut3.5]

Something about that shoulder blade disturbs me..

Maybe it's not pointy enough?
--donut3.5--

 

[SuPa-]

IDK, anyway, the model is finished I guess, except for the feet

 

[HappyTauren]

uchina... use your brain, when have you seen something like this in wc3? These models have thousands of polies...

Supa, whats that in his mouth?

 

[SuPa-]

HT, his tongue... character limit :O

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

So far so good.I like Werewulf's the most.

 

[HappyTauren]

hmmz supa can i haz a wireframe kthxbye?

 

[SuPa-]

Gaze at its shitty topology! Lulz

 

[HappyTauren]

gah fool you used moar polys for tongue than for whole body! Also you rly want thoz spikes to be 4-sided?

 

[SuPa-]

Fiddling around with normal maps

The stomach is weird



Anyway, here's my *cough* final (yea right) *cough* submission. I was too lazy to make it a real texture... for some reason I'm just not enjoying texturing that much right now and I model/texture for fun so if it's not fun I won't do it xD. I'll probably get 4th place with this hunk of poo poo

I might work on the texture when I feel better

 

[Cavman]

Bah, I have to drop out. haven't worked on my model sense the last time I posted. sorry. Still gonna do that class thing

 

[SuPa-]

My final, FINAL submission

Rrrraaaawwwwrrrr!!!!!!

Lol, a texture seem!... oh well, who cares

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

That's awesome...

Animate it then test it ingame XD

 

[HappyTauren]

Kaitech are you high? This is NOT FOR WC3.
Awesome though, but wheres his cocyx
