Texturing Competition #12

[CombatTheWombat]

As I am sure any of you who arent retarded guessed by looking at the thread title, the point of this is to throw out ideas for the next texturing competition. I have had a couple ideas that I thought would be fun floating around in my head for a while. I think a really fun one would be to just take some model(preferably one with a good wrap)and have everyone make whatever kind of skin they want for that model. That way we could really see who is thinking up original ways to use the wrap and shape of a model that no one else had thought of. I also think STORM would be a cool skinning theme. Clouds, rain, wind, lightning ect. If anyone else has any ideas, please submit them here and then when we reach a consensus about what to do we can try and get a moderator to host it.

 

[~Void~]

How about undeathifying a unit?

 

[ike_ike]

Which would pretty much just restrict us to the Undead or gutz.blp. I was thinking of advanced/alien. Y'know, Protoss/ Covenant style designs.

 

[yakonshus]

Rather orcifying a unit, but only not orc units are allowed to be skinned

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I like the armored alien idea quite a lot.

 

[THE_END]

No no no, changing a unit into another from ONE race
Make the focus on just one race, makes everyone's lives more simple

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Wait so like only being allowed to change nightelf units into and orc? That seems limiting, why not change any unit into an orc.

 

[FrIkY]

I say "Draenification"! Make a Draenei skin, clean, simple and useful. I've already made some skins "Draenificated", check my skins at skins section if you want.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Draenaes are pretty sweet I suppose.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

no drainai is a bad idea... reallly

make something like... warlocks.. or anything

like the theme could be about en event, a date.. or about a classe.. but not drainai

 

[XS-Archangel]

What about Elemental looking skins?

 

[Hawkwing]

No no no, changing a unit into another from ONE race
Make the focus on just one race, makes everyone's lives more simple

Love it. But it will get out of hand if we don't restrict it to a few races. Say Night Elf, Orc, Human, Undead?

I say "Draenification"! Make a Draenei skin, clean, simple and useful. I've already made some skins "Draenificated", check my skins at skins section if you want.

God no. Every submission will turn out the same with one small twist.

What about Elemental looking skins?

We've already had two or three - yeah, it was three - Elemental Contests very recently. Plus, there are no good models for it.

I believe that over at WC3C, they managed to have some manner of elemental skin contest. The problem is, however, that most elemental skins are just models coated in repetitive textures.

Race conversion could work though. But still. ALIENS! Curses, why are aliens so alienated D) in this community?

 

[Dionesiist]

Aliens would be pretty awesome I believe. Either that or the racial conversion thing.

 

[D a w n]

We already had a race convertion skinning contest^^

 

[Dionesiist]

Yeah, but it was at the beginnings of the Hive.

 

[LiOneSS]

Futuristic ftw!

 

[THE_END]

Ok let's say
Fuck Draenai
Fuck Elementals
BUT! Do not forget our friends the Naga...mwaahaha

 

[INF3RNO]

why not Vampires or a hybrid theme like Human/Lion??

 

[Mr.Goblin]

hybrid is really cool i think

 

[Linaze]

Isn't that a bit like the previous Chimera modeling contest? Perhaps I'm mistaken.

 

[INF3RNO]

kinda but this is the skinning competition not the modelling =p i think the hybrid theme could allow some people to get quite creative =p

 

[Hawkwing]

Hybrid and Chimera are quite a lot different, but.. eh.

 

[THE_END]

No, that's basically throwing a bunch of crap on a skin and saying its a hybrid
So..no, bad idea, trust me, there was a contest like this one before this idea

 

[A.R.]

Nerubians I say.

 

[INF3RNO]

hmmm what should i skin into a Nerubian... maybe i might use the Nerubian shadowcaster or w8 the Nerubian Warrior! =P jk seems pretty limiting lol. but if we do have Nerubians as the Theme DIBS! mountain king! =p

 

[LiOneSS]

Futuristic please :3

 

[Dionesiist]

Vampires!

 

[THE_END]

Fuck vampires and fuck futuristic
Both are very limiting
I like Nerubians, you can make anything a damn spider man if you put brain into it

 

[LiOneSS]

Nerubians are especially limiting. And futuristic rules, you can make anything into a shiny robot.

 

[Linaze]

Vampires!

Hell yeah!

 

[LiOneSS]

Dio won 2 texturing contests in a row, shouldn't he take a break now? xD

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, his was the only submission last time.

 

[XS-Archangel]

how about making something in Old Age (which reminds on Ancient Greek, Egypt, Rome, Babylon etc)

 

[LiOneSS]

Egypt<3

 

[Dionesiist]

Dio won 2 texturing contests in a row, shouldn't he take a break now? xD

I would've only won one if more had joined the previous contest.

 

[THE_END]

I'd say Nerubians
Ya'll are bitching about it now but trust me
You can spiderize alot of units

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I like the nerubian idea. I have a lot of images running through my head of how I could turn units into spiders. It wouldn't have to be the traditional spider shaped model guys. This is a skinning contest. Nerubian is basically turning a unit into an insectoid and I like it.

 

[INF3RNO]

omg
NERUBIANS!
NERUBIANS!
NERUBIANS!
NERUBIANS!
pleeeaaaassseee i just had the best idea lol

 

[Hawkwing]

God no. That is so damn restricting.

 

[Kwah]

Yeah.

How about . . . "tech"?

 

[INF3RNO]

God no. That is so damn restricting.

omg its not that restricting and ffs it will let people get creative, alot of the skinning contests latley have been failing and i rekon its just cos some of the themes are so bland like example the Opposite theme or w/e it was it was abit to open people could skin anything into anything they wanted aslong as the skins were oposites, and thats was picked cos it wasnt restricting and that compotition was a bunch of fail. people need a set catergory like Nerubians it will show who can be creative, instead of something like Arcane or Tech where it could be a Tech wolf, Tech golem, Tech paladin, tech priest...now thats just abit boring...

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I dont know how the fuck you can possibly think Nerubians is mega restricting. The fact that it requires some actual creativity does not mean it is restricting.

 

[XS-Archangel]

if you say that it will be Tech contest I will cut my head...
I'm currently doing tech skin...

 

[Hawkwing]

Same. I'm currently working on something futuristic/techy.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

why no amphibian.. like lezard.. or snakes or fish, things that comes from the sea.. can be anything.. like half crocodile man, or like... dead pirates... or like.. water giant.. etc..

abit restrictive.. but less than nerubians

 

[XS-Archangel]

Theme: Random

 

[THE_END]

How bout..we choose ONE UNIT
And everyone does whatever with it
Those are fun usually

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Yeah, depending on the unit.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Sounds like a plan, that way it really showcases the imagination of all the entrants and their skills of working with a units wrap. Let us pick a unit! My Vote goes to the Tauren Chieftan, Arthas, or Archimonde.
