Texturing Competition #1 - Footman

[BlackDoom]

Looks nice, HappyTauren! Yet make the edge of the helmet a bit more visible (above the eyes and around them...).

Nice!

 

[HappyTauren]

well, thx and it's abit blurry, and not wrapped 100% correctly and not shaded yet... will need work anyways
archain, i hate you XD you could give us something easier to wrap

 

[BlackDoom]

) =))
Indeed - I guess we all hate him for choosing this model... Yet he's right, we don't see too many nice-looking Footman skins around...

Next week I'll try something myself... Holidays...
One more exam and I'm off...

Cheers!

 

[Kimbo]

k, mines done, finally got around to finishing the alpha, and also added some touch ups and haxxed the idea of the mouth from sir sunny(sansui)

path:
Textures\Footman.blp

dont really care much for the skin, but bleh... enjoy.

 

[Jaakko]

aw. thx Wolf


couldn't you have chosen a better skin .... like a SpellBreaker? seriusly oh well... my panda stuff doesn't work on footies cause they don't show faces ^_^ oh well i'll have to do something un-pandalike this time.

Yeah, a better model would be nice.

And wow, my vote goes definetly to Werewulf, not that I try to support a team member or anything...
The others look very good too.

 

[BlackDoom]

I'm completely flabbergasted by Werewulf! Mean looking footman! Spooky I might add!
It goes so well with the Undead rather than Human... Make one more with a dead-like face... Perhaps
Awesome!

 

[Kimbo]

mine looks chunka, i love sansuis creative skin, and the detail on camels is lovly, i hope tauren finishes hes, i want to see it

 

[Deleted member 126647]

They look nice and demonic, and I really like the preservation of team color.

I only have one crit wulf, I would have removed the pupils altogether, just a fully blood red eyeball would look very cool with him.

 

[Kimbo]

hmmm, okay, ill see if i can do that, but i cant be bothered updating all those screenshots.

 

[camel's_hump]

Looks really dark ingame:\ I like how you used to team color though.

 

[HappyTauren]

um.. camel, do we have to do teamcolour?

 

[Kimbo]

i only did mine since the default TC one was interfering with my reskin of it.

 

[camel's_hump]

um.. camel, do we have to do teamcolour?

Nope, the rules say everything that you need.

 

[HappyTauren]

k, it was just wierd since wulfie used it...

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I think it made the skin a lot better.

 

[HappyTauren]

ok, but my dude is to red and yelow to ad him, for example, dark green teamclour, so i will stick to texturing mostly

 

[Deleted member 126647]

It's understandable, in some cases team color can ruin a skin, but others it greatly improves it.

 

[pandamanana]

I tried something different.

All Votes Belong To You!

After seeing all these great models I don't even think I will be finishing mine. because it sux. and these rock. but if I get a GREAT idea ill make it. oh well

 

[Kimbo]

skin*

dont give up, id love to see more entries, but i agree, the uvwrap of the footman is...horrible...and the footman creativity is very limited.

 

[HappyTauren]

yea and back is so !@#$ed up... it cant wrap correctly, since left side=right one, and it cant wrap with down side... shit

 

[Kimbo]

just cnp and flip and edit the back texture abit. That im very sure will work.

 

[HappyTauren]

um.. look at this, it looks good on one side but no on another, and that's same texture part for both sides anyway, im doing this for practice so i will gain more knowledge as further as i go (part that's done is 100% freehand)

 

[camel's_hump]

That's barely noticable even up close, ingame you won't see it at all. The footman's unwrap is actually much better than many of the other blizzard models.

 

[Kimbo]

the ogre unwrap gives a horrible seam thing, i know that....dreadlord i hear is like a puzzle.

and yes, that wont be notiable ingame so its fine. goodluck.

 

[pandamanana]

next competition should be something that we can make more out of like .... a .... death knight? or a spell breaker? or even better a blood mage ^_^

(or a panda!)

 

[HappyTauren]

heres face update, 100 from scratch

 

[Kimbo]

you need to grey down the red/yellow abit, its far too flarey for my eyes. the skele face looks good though.

 

[HappyTauren]

k... heres my last wip

 

[pandamanana]

its perrrddyyy.

 

[PrinceofIce]

I like but i see a ton of alpha.Using gimp?If so i need to know how to alpha(been asking for awhile but can't seem to find out).Very good skin I'd use It If I took the time to make a map.

 

[Archian]

k... heres my last wip

Still needs some work in my opinion. It's too blurred... Need to be more *vast*

Needs more shadow and decent lightning.

 

[gromhellscream666]

note done yet but this is what i have every thing done by hand

 

[PrinceofIce]

Looks good.As i can see its a WIP but jsut staing in need major shading and maybe more designs.Looking good really hoping to see finished product.

 

[camel's_hump]

That has zero shading and the it's basically just panting the footman green, make up your own layout for him atleast.

 

[gromhellscream666]

yea im doing the basic color first and then im adding shading and new parts to it here and their.

 

[THE_END]

Tauren I think you need to put more shading on that

 

[Lunatechnick]

note done yet but this is what i have every thing done by hand

his eyes shine more white, maybe fix that, coz if u have black its gonna be trnsparent and not be seen @ all

 

[gromhellscream666]

his eyes shine more white, maybe fix that, coz if u have black its gonna be trnsparent and not be seen @ all

ahh dident know that ill change it soon just adding some stuff to his armor so it looks different

 

[ddusandu]

@ Footman

I'm kinda new in mapping,skinning,modeling & stuff, but i will post my WIP yust to support the competition.
If you have any suggestion, just say it.

 

[Kimbo]

ah, thats nice, a very different color theme. Just highlight(add..um..like shiny?) the amour around the chest.

good to see more people participating.

 

[THE_END]

Hmm very interesting runes, add some underlying metal and it'll look better

 

[camel's_hump]

The black needs shading, if that is black metal tons of color would be reflecting off of it.

 

[Jaakko]

Really cool shapes. I especially like that helmet and sword.

 

[Deathbringer]

Just to let you know I'll be joining in this little contest =D

I plan on remaking a footman to be a Scarlet Crusader

(No offense but this is a horrible model to choose =/ I can't even alpha out the areas I don't like because they are connected to some other area >< so I guess I have to have a horrible looking spike on his shield)

 

[pandamanana]

I have finally desided to join the competion (a little late, I know.) I'll get to work right away. I know its not going to be as good as all the others but It will still be fun.

 

[Kimbo]

Deathbringer, please use jpeg so people dont have to manually dl and open the images.... o.0

and goodluck people!

 

[pandamanana]

I've been working on my skin all day long but I can't find the back off the helmet. I thought it was the back of the footman ( the body facing backwards )
but that doesn't work. Could someone point the back of the helmet?

 

[HappyTauren]

near face hair (left and right of it) these are halmet parts. you will see how it's hell hard to make 50X50 part of image wrap correctly with 128X128...

 

[Deathbringer]

hate.. footman.. model..

 

[Chaos]

Well, I'm out ... no time for this ... so much to do, and no time for it ...
Good Luck to all of you ... and nice WIP/Submissions already here ...
