Texturing Competition #13 (ideas)

[FrIkY]

Do you have any ideas for the next Texturing Competition? Here are some of mine:
- Forest\Nature
- Undead (make living into undead)
- Diablo (make a unit from any Diablo game to Warcraft 3)

 

[Dionesiist]

Black Stan's models.

 

[Agrias]

I agree with Dio. We should try to make textures for Black Stan's models.


Other than that, we could pair with the Terraining Contest and texture mythological things ;p.

We could also convert a texture into a monster for a dungeon like map like... Convert the headhunter into a creepy armored guy clad in armor and with dark red eyes and blood, etc.

Just some ideas, but I'm looking forward to my first texture competition, whatever the theme may be... . (We could also pirate-fy some units? xD)

This would have been a great idea if it had been done as a Texturing Contest beforehand, so the Terraining Contest folks could use the skins in their entries

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Did we do Blademaster yet?

 

[Just_Spectating]

how bout demonhunter?

 

[Gilles]

Pretty sure DH has been done.
What about a theme, and not just everyone doing the same model?

 

[Just_Spectating]

Shadow
Blood
Forest/Nature

[Denu]

Titans sounds cool.

 

[Agrias]

I think it should be political. (lawl 'nother idea)


Dick Cheney Ogre? Any takers?

 

[Just_Spectating]

those would be so useless!

 

[Agrias]

I think not! I've seen quite a few of those retarded and crappy Assassinate the President Map! It'd also be useful for SWAT like games, protect the president, senator, etc!

It'd be a tad funny to look at and might get some laughs.


I suppose we could try to convert some skins to another race like... Convert some units into Blood Elves? Convert some units to make another race? etc. [Like we choose one race that lacks units and convert certain models/textures to that race]

Or... We could try an alien like theme and convert some textures into 4 eyed aliens of dewm?

Another theme could be convert a unit for a cinematic to make them look nicer, cooler, etc. A revamped something or total remake a texture for an entirely new role .

[fail=Me]
I guess I'm sort of not-creative at the moment.

[overload119]

Really liek the diablo idea.

 

[ike_ike]

Aliens!

Goddamit, aliens!

 

[~Void~]

I vote diablo, especially since it's the 13th contest.

 

[FrIkY]

I'm for Diablo, too.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Titans sounds cool.

I vote this.

 

[Dionesiist]

Doesn't titan basically mean a really big human/humanoid?

 

[Linaze]

Big Humanoid/Giant it means, I'd say.

 

[Dionesiist]

Which is kind of hard to render with just a texture.

 

[A.R.]

Unless the contest rules say the final entry has to be 512x512
If you scale the model up to about 3 or 4 in worldedit, the ingame detail loss from high-res would be negligible and you'd be able to add more lighting effects, details, crags and whatnot. Obviously it'd be useless for multiplayer maps, though.

 

[Traxamillion]

Diablo.

 

[~Void~]

Even if it was 512x512, I believe it gets shrunk in-game.

Furthermore if you size a model up to 4x or even 2x, its low-poly-ness gets really ugly.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I'm for Diablo, too.

I agree. Diablo.

 

[Pyritie]

Even if it was 512x512, I believe it gets shrunk in-game.

Nah, you'd still get the nice textures ingame. Only problem is that you have to be close to the model in order to get it at that resolution. Get too far away and then WC3 just starts mipmapping it, which lowers its quality a lot.

 

[THE_END]

The hell kinda theme is Diablo? Ok..make characters into other characters..from another Blizzard game...SRSLY?

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I wasnt really thinking characters, though even that could be pretty sweet, was more thinking Diablo monsters.

 

[THE_END]

Eh, everyone's just gonna focus on all the new stuff...meh
I do have a cool idea now but..meh
I'd rather see...hrm
NAGA...YES NAGA NAGA NAGA

 

[Just_Spectating]

How about Elemental unit

Make a regular unit imbued with a magical element.

 

[FrIkY]

Elemental... hmm, let me think. No.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Naga sounds better in this case.

 

[THE_END]

I was hoping the response to elementals would be no..hallelujah
So...uhm anyone for Naga...say Aye

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I guess, would have preferred Diablo, but nagas is fine.

 

[FrIkY]

Naga, eh? ... mkay.

 

[Hawkwing]

I like Naga. Diablo is kind of hard to do without proper models and it's another one of those contests where some people might make something that people may argue about whether or not it fits the theme.

You can turn almost anything into a naga and it's pretty obvious whether it fits the theme or not.

 

[THE_END]

Exactly Hawk, so then..NAGA IT TIZ! I'll make the thread shortly

 

[Linaze]

Sounds like an awesome theme, can't wait for the outcome.

 

[Kyrbi0]

(We should merge these 2 threads...)

Wait, didn't we just do a Naga Texturing contest? Seriously, like this exact site, too...

As in the other thread, I think UI's is a great idea. Or Trolls.

 

[THE_END]

Kyrb...no we did not, we haven't done a naga contest...ever

 

[Kyrbi0]

Than what in the world is This???

 

[Pyritie]

...that was sarcasm, kyrbi.

Also, it might help if you look at the post timestamps before replying

 

[Kyrbi0]

Didn't sound look like sarcasm...

Well, I began to look at them after posting, and realized they were from before the contest, and it seems this was the "idea" thread for this contest. That, or everyone is making a farce of me. The latter seems more likely.

--EDIT--
Ahhhh... Seems I did a minor necropost, and thought there were 2 separate threads set up for "next texturing contest" (which there were, this one just wasn't old enough)...

>_<

 

[Just_Spectating]

that's a very strange mistake to make

 

[XS-Archangel]

why we have to texturing ideas threads? Merge it or close one (suggestion ofc)

 

[Hawkwing]

This is for the previous contest.
