Texturing Competition #7 - Holy/Angelic

[Lichemperor]

So, I take it the 'no model editing' rule means no changing the skinning path of the model?
cos I could do with it....

 

[Pyritie]

Well if you're just editing the model so it makes previewing the skin better, well then that's okay.

By no model editing that means no getting rid of parts that have team color, etc.

 

[DwarfZealot]

AR how do you get just the unwrap?

 

[HappyTauren]

you use max and dont know that? Geez... He also explained in one of the posts up there...

 

[Dionesiist]

Aww. So the comp is now narrowed down to 3 people. TDR, A.R, and Darkholme

You do tend to quite annoy me with this, ike... How about you stop bashind everyone else as if we weren't even worth participating amongst such 'gods'?
EDIT: yeah, late reply, but it really annoyed me.

 

[markone]

i dont think that tdr edited model, he just used max to render texture what he want on way what blizzard imagined. or im wrong?

 

[ike_ike]

I did say that no offense was intended in the edit

 

[PurgeandFire]

i dont think that tdr edited model, he just used max to render texture what he want on way what blizzard imagined. or im wrong?

He isn't editing the model features. Just using features in max.

Read this tutorial TDR posted:
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=96451

He isn't editing the UVwrap, he is just editing the texture.

He is editing the texture so that it appears nice and seamless on the model. It isn't editing the model, just using a features in max to edit the texture, but in a more "known" way so you know where you are texturing etc...

Uhm.. Kind of, I'm not too great at explaining so reading the tut is probably your best shot at understanding what I mean.

 

[A.R.]

basically, hes working around blizzard's mistakes

 

[markone]

i got what he do, someone else said that he edited model and quoted how it is illegal.

 

[HappyTauren]

someone else had no clue on what tdr is doing.

 

[Darkholme]

This is my current WIP. It's just about finished.

I need to detail the overlayed texture on the flaps of cloth that come down from the belt, and I need to do the headress. I think I'm done just about everything else. Mayhaps I'll put some teamcolored etchings on the back of his collar.

What do all of you think. Does it stand a chance in hell?

 

[Xatoga]

I might just enter, since I think the skin i did for the modeling competition wasnt all that bad, I'll see how this one goes now. Be blessed by his noodly appendage!

 

[Ezikielth]

@ Darkholme Nice, Hair looks a bit "if-fy"

 

[Xatoga]

Hair?

[donut3.5]

Xatoga, I think I've decided my vote, regardless to how the skin actually comes out XD
--donut3.5--

 

[Ezikielth]

You posted 10 sec before me lol, edited for clarity

 

[Xatoga]

I'm thinking some form of pirate garb mixed with holy robe things.

 

[THE_END]

I love it Xatoga
Pure classic-ness

 

[Ezikielth]

Make the whole thing noodles

 

[Darkholme]

If hair looks iffy, do you have any suggestions on how I could improve it or what I could put there instead?

 

[ike_ike]

Another piece of red cloth? But that face is awesome.

 

[Darkholme]

Another piece of red cloth? But that face is awesome.

Thanks for the compliments on the face. I'm finally satisfied with tta part myself. So you'd make the hair into another piece of the red cloth? hmm maybe, but that might be overdoing it with the lack of variation. Any other ideas?

 

[A.R.]

why not make it the same texture as the front of the skull? or maybe work in something with that nifty purple gem on his forehead?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Nice skin Darkholme, and I love the fact the Libran Scales are on his Ruff!

 

[Gilles]

Someone should make a Davey Jones with the Faceless model. Xatoga's texture really reminds me of him.

 

[XS-Archangel]

me too. but what is holy in davy jones

 

[Darkholme]

Nice skin Darkholme, and I love the fact the Libran Scales are on his Ruff!

I thought it was a fitting icon for a Judge.

 

[A.R.]

more WIPs, that damn forehead wrap is NASTY.

 

[Darkholme]

more WIPs, that damn forehead wrap is NASTY.

Very Holy Looking Demoness. I like.

Not liking the belt wrap though. Looks great on the unwrap but on the wrap it looks like some ridiculous oversized bellybutton jewelry. You need to raise the sides up more, or lower the middle more.

 

[markone]

hey guys, i got some problems with legs and no good idea how to solve it...

does anyone have?

 

[Lichemperor]

Okay, i'd like to do some more work on this but I don't have time so here goes

Also, tell me if theyr not submited/ uploaded properly, first competition I been in

 

[Pyritie]

Well to be honest, your skin really needs some work, Lichemperor. It looks like you just painted pale yellow all over it.

 

[HappyTauren]

its recolour for the most part, it seems.
Lichemperor, post unwrap.

 

[Lichemperor]

almost all of the golden (trim) is recolor....
But the plate isn't but I did coat the white in gold after.

Not botherd to much tho cos it's not loke I expected to come even 3rd and beating TDR is an impossibility for me
and i'd like to do a bit more work on it (particularly the cape cos the shading came out kind of blue ingame) but im busy doin something else now so I can't finish it, tho if I get time i may....

heres the unwrap:

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Lich I'm sorry to say but that's just recolour in caps...

Here's a small WIP just to show you what I've done, I'm concentrating on the blade at the moment.. I'm wondering why the TGA is 1.5mb and the BLP is 409kb... I'm thinking it is because I'm working at double the image size.

 

[HappyTauren]

Maybe because TGA is NOT compressed and blp IS compressed? Blade is pretty meh though.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

I know, blurry... I've been drawing that at 20% opacity, silver colour, size 5 brush and it took a while. Couldn't take perspective into the picture due to it gets mirrored...

 

[Pyritie]

It looks like it's slimy, if that's the effect you're going for.

 

[ike_ike]

Just add some gold trim onto the edges and it'll make the blade look more finished.

Although I have no idea how you'll be able to turn a 4 legged, pointy fanged demon into an angelic being.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

That gold thing on the blades? That was meant to be some symbol I whipped up to fill space...

Just add some gold trim onto the edges and it'll make the blade look more finished.

I don't think a gold trim would look very good on the blade, what sort of blade did you ever see with a gold trim?

Although I have no idea how you'll be able to turn a 4 legged, pointy fanged demon into an angelic being.

The same way a child turns a stick into a gun?

 

[ike_ike]

Felguard >_>

You have to make the blade at least LOOK like it has an edge.

 

[Darkholme]

Although I have no idea how you'll be able to turn a 4 legged, pointy fanged demon into an angelic being.

I did it with a floating pointy horned skeleton, how hard can it be?

 

[SuPa-]

A robed skeleton is definitely easier to turn into a holy being than a 4 legged demon...

 

[Darkholme]

pfft. says you.

(P.S. I'm kidding, you're probably right.)

 

[ike_ike]

Ho, hum. Decided to start another skin, inspired by Darkholme's lovely Adjudicator.

Divine skeletons are cool!

 

[frostwhisper]

Bad model choice... It's nearly impossible to skin.

 

[ike_ike]

I just noticed -__-''

The geometry is horrific.

 

[Darkholme]

Well the model may have been a bad choice due to it being a big pain in the ass, but at least I inspired somethign right?

 

[Madome]

Almost done, please tell me what i should improve about it.
