Texturing Competition #6 - Northrend/Icecrown

[madcat2]

Im done
I hope this wil be very usefull to everyone who are making new maps

BEST SKIN EVER!

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

TDR, my skin had ice on it, just not realistic looking...

Finally done something icy with his pants...

 

[Pyritie]

The icy effect isn't bad, but that gray between the bits looks bad.

 

[THE_END]

Pants need shading..DESPERATELY
But I do like what you have done with them
Need to do something with that chest though, wayyyy too plain

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

The pants do have shading, and I can't do much on the chest,because on the back, half of it blurs... Badly...

 

[TDR]

he meant overall shading, because we can all see that each ice shard is shaded individually.

 

[Sansui]

Hmm how much time is left in the compo... I may decide to do one.

 

[madcat2]

We have about a month until it ends.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Gah, I am looking at all the models and I just cant recieve inspiration for a cool skin idea, could someone PLEASE give me a cool idea for a skin that fits this contest's theme, I will give plus rep to the persons idea that I use.

 

[Kwaliti]

l0w, you better do something creative with the face, right now it looks very plain

Ah, you've seen nothing on this picture.... yet!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I just got a really cool idea for tauren chieftan but the picture is too big, and if I shrink it down to make it 256 the long way then it is only 128 the short way, so it gets pretty darn blurry. Can I please use it at its regular size?

 

[Pyritie]

Can I please use it at its regular size?

Well yeah, of course.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

But the thing says that the texture cannot be bigger than 256 in any dimention ><

 

[TDR]

I think he meant to say to submit it at the resolution it originally was. Though he didn't say it right. Or he might be a tyrant and wanted to force people to stick to models with 256x256 textures, ha!

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

[*]Textures must be no larger than 256 pixels in any dimension when submitted as final entry, though you may work in 512 (or higher), but they must be resized down to 256 when submitted.

That's the mystery of the mis-understood rule solved!

I'm gonna TRY and do something with the chest-guard, maybe add some kind of tatoo or something...

 

[THE_END]

I am a tryrant..COWER IN FEAR!
No you can work on whatever texture you want to. HOWEVER
The size that the skin is when originally converted from the mpq, MUST be the size submitted

 

[madcat2]

Sniff sniff i'm, scared to work on my skin because i know how much work i have to do on it...


Edit: Finished most of his needed shading now i have to start working on the long and painful icey effect .

 

[Denu]

Skin ideas: Blue dragon doomguard, Deathknight Felguard, Abominable snowtroll (pretty much anything abominable), woolie white mammoth, northman (furry frimmed cloaks, leathers, a little bit of metal armor here and there, etc.), convert any humanoid into undead, zombie, or fleshy creature. Bla bla bla there you go.

Not ideas for MY skins but they are ok ideas. Good enough to at least get you started on something.

 

[TDR]

@madcat2: Hmm, you don't have enough shading going on there imo. Keep in mind ambient occlusion: http://www.cebas.com/products/images/fr_stage1/r2/RoboAO.jpg
Basically, light coming from the sky. The closer objects are to each other, the more light is occluded => more shade.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Well, i am now screwing the tauren chieftan cuz I suck too bad at skinning to do something that big . So I am going to try and think of something easier to do.

 

[THE_END]

The pants do have shading, and I can't do much on the chest,because on the back, half of it blurs... Badly...

Screw the back, you don't see it that much in game, you DO see the chest more
Make the chest better
And shade the pants better, I see no shading at the bottom or where they are in his middle, like in his "between leg" area

 

[madcat2]

Ok here is better shading and lighting.

 

[XS-Archangel]

this is my new work. I have just started. I finished the mask, and start doing body Is it familiar to you?

 

[markone]

ok i worked on some details, still a lot things to fix

 

[XS-Archangel]

some improvements...

 

[D a w n]

sub zero =) nice idea

 

[CombatTheWombat]

The Wombat is finally sticking up his first WIP for this contest, cred to mad cat for the idea for this skin, northrend blademaster. Thanks madcat. As you can see I dun have much done yet, pretty much just the sword, I am still trying to to decide what to use for the things around the neck, right now they are chinese coins, lol. Pay no attention to the flag, I was just screwing around and that is NOT what it is going to look like. Sorry about the crappy screenshot, I have to use warcraft 3 viewer which has lots of little buggy things that make skins look crappy unless you take the shot from some crappy angle. For some reason now whenever I try to open war3 model editor I get some weird error that wont let me open it. So here is what I have so far, pretty much just the sword.

 

[SuPa-]

The head mask on your illidan, Archangel, appears to me as CnP

 

[madcat2]

WIP picture.
(15 limit!)

 

[THE_END]

Honestly mad, I can't tell you what to do if there's no wrap of it on the model

 

[INF3RNO]

this is my new work. I have just started. I finished the mask, and start doing body Is it familiar to you?

nice skin but.... i never new that subzero from ortal combat lived in Northrend/Icecrown?

 

[madcat2]

nice skin but.... i never new that subzero from ortal combat lived in Northrend/Icecrown?

Yeah he has a Vacation house out there.

And one second the_End, i'll post some wraps.

Edit: Here you go. Thank you, Come Again xP.
Edit Again: I Really don't like the purple line on his chest now that i see it X(.

 

[THE_END]

Yea I saw him there a couple times, when I was running errands for the Lich King...he always needs damn milk..augh
Anyways, I do suspect that mask is CnP, I have seen Sub-Zero and Scorpion skins before..I think at Wc3Warehouse when it was up and running? Not sure
And lemme see those screenies mad

 

[madcat2]

There in my other post above yours

 

[THE_END]

Get that purple outta here!
And for whatever reason, your skin looks very..pixelated, smooth is out a bit by using..and I can't believe the words are coming out of my mouth..
By..SMUDGING *GASP*

 

[Denu]

Mad it looks like you used a bunch of funky tools and stuff on the hair.

 

[XS-Archangel]

The head mask on your illidan, Archangel, appears to me as CnP

I didn't copy paste it, as you can see it's not perfect. Only that mask took me twenty minutes to do... And belt with that sign of mortal kombat took me ten minutes, but I was dissapointed because that sign isn't viewable in model editor . I will try to do it on blade...

Edit: Updated progress

 

[The_Twinz]

Archangel that's looking awesome

Here's my progress on the pit lord so far, it's not much yet. No C n P or recolor this time

RAWR!

 

[madcat2]

Mad it looks like you used a bunch of funky tools and stuff on the hair.

Did the hair by paint brush but i was ultra tired when i was drawing it so uhh yeah....

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Second WIP here, got the coat and gloves done. By the way madcat, your blue ninja furbolg lookin sexy . Once again I apologize for the shitty sc, warcraft 3 viewer is being a slut.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Yesterday, 03:47 PM

I am going to change everything about the skin, so yes the pants will be changed, however my computer crashed and we are still trying to fix it. Luckily I managed to get a backup of the skin file before the computer became totally un-bootable so it is not lost. But since my computer is screwed it will probably be a while before I can do any more skinning, so the next update wont be coming for a while, thanks guys.

Yesterday, 05:37 PM

I havent been on forums in a while so I didnt notice this, Im in.

Hmmm... I wonder how he suddenly managed to get his skinning back when his computer screwed?

 

[XS-Archangel]

almost finished...

face is recolour, it's obvious, recolor isn't allowed :S

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

almost finished...

It's a nice skin, except just because he has a house in snow, doesn't mean he is instantly deserves to be in an icy terrain, in Scarborough winters, we get ice lots, does that mean I should instantly skin Scarborough?

EDIT: CtW, what happened??? Your Dragon man is uber, yet no you're just recolouring! Make an ice dragon man!!

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Lol, calm down tards, I just recolored the skin to blue so I can see what it looks like with his coat and stuff, it wont just be recolor in final ver. And I dont wanna make ice dragon man, lol, tired of doing scales or anything dragon-like which is why I havent made much more progress on fire dragon man. And the reason I got back on quick is cuz I just used our other computer and now I have reinstalled windows on this one so I am back on first computer. Once again I say take it easy guys, the recolor is just temporary color check.

 

[markone]

guys im kinda stuck, any ideas for details

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I would try and do some more freehand and reduce the giant CnP markone. Flip the teeth on weapon over and edit the alpha so the weapon has jagged tooth edge like shield. Heres most recent WIP guys, new beard is up and ready for action.

 

[XS-Archangel]

Thing is that he is one of the main producers of ice

 

[markone]

omfg i will make one picture for you... there isnt any copy paste here, its 100% freehand... just somethings i draw once then copy and resize to make more of them...

 

[madcat2]

face is recolour, it's obvious, recolor isn't allowed :S

Yes recolor is allowed as long as atleast 75% is free hand
