Texturing Contest #16 - Nature

[Revolve]

I'm not sure if my idea for the contest is acceptable to call nature, but I hope so: I'm planning to skin a Na'vi from Avatar, because I think these indiginenous humanoids are really one with their nature and are the keepers of the nature, maybe they are the nature itself as they are Pandora in the movie. So that's my idea.
My question is, would it be accepted as a skin for the contest?

I think you could do an alien robot if you want, but you won't get points in 'theme' for that.

Doing a Na'vi however, well I don't know. I wouldn't really consider it nature, but I guess that's up to the judges

 

[Dentothor]

i belive na'vi fall under alien/futuristic. you should have tried that in the last constest. however it will not follow the theme here.

 

[Revolve]

Here's a little update btw;
The helmet is edited, so it (hopefully) looks like the horns sort of sprouts out.
I also made the shoulders, but they are not 100% done yet, planning to add some vines and such.
Any comments of what I got so far? It might not seem like much, but it is 4-5 hours of work

well the thing is, the only good model to make ancients with, is the ancients. :S

 

[Red]

Dentothor, are you going to be the only judge for this contest?

 

[Dentothor]

So far, yes. if CW chrome or THE END step up then they might.
or if someone experienced wants to.

I like the details of the wood. You don't doubt for a second what it is.. but I have a hard time seeing the ending results for me, but that only makes it all the more exciting.

4-5 hours?! D: i did my jockey skin in that time!
but its looking good so far. but the rocks seem a bit weird to me.


ughh the particle emitters for the fire are so annoying so im just not going to bother xD

 

[RED BARON]

Huh, are we allowed to play around with particles?

 

[Dentothor]

no. skin changes only and no model changes.

 

[RED BARON]

no. skin changes only and no model changes.

kk.. Wonder what you referred to in your post then, got me confused for a second

 

[communist_orc]

people Seriously! If youre gonna take part in a contest read the f****ing Rules before...

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I'll have a go at this.
I got my thing: Vine Demon

 

[Revolve]

Heres a little update;
I guess you can see a bit how the end result will look like.
I am pretty satisfied with how the rocks and wood have turned out,but I am not so sure about the vines and leaves, and the horns.
Would be awsome if you told me what I could do to improve, and generally tell me if you got some ideas on how to add more variation

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

well...since i dont like nature-y stuff much and aint gonna be joining, i think i could judge since there is like only one judge so far.
might as well help out instead of being useless

 

[RED BARON]

People Seriously! If you're gonna take part in a contest read the Rules before...

If your refering to me, then I did. Thats why the judge's (who said he also wanted to make a version) post:

Ughh the particle emitters for the fire are so annoying so I'm just not going to bother xD

which mentions particles, got me confused for a second..

 

[communist_orc]

Um... my sabertooth grizzly

 

[Kazzo]

Well w.i.p time is almost finished i want to fix some thing light the grass and flowers and work more on arms and will be ready
Fear the MIghty Nature protector

 

[RED BARON]

Um... my sabertooth grizzly

Neatly - though its not that clearly nature related in my mind, besides living in the nature

... For me Nature covers everything that isnt mechanical/Digital/Electronic/Man-made. And I didnt wanna do a tree/Leaves/Bark/Mud thing, cause theres allready multiple enteries with that concept.

My Sabertotooth grizzly Is an all naturall bread specimen of natures brute force... =D

 

[RED BARON]

True, but then covering almost anything in fur would fit as well (Don't give me the argument that you can just make models green for nature ). If in doubt; I am joking.

Well hoping to get time for my skin.. so far doesn't look good with all the exams coming up.

 

[X-OMG-X]

Looks pretty cool, revolve. Seems to turn out very well.

 

[M0rbid]

SO this is my first WiP, not so sure about the use of the Skeleton for it, my ideas of some floating rocks, linked by vines doesn't really work on it.
Please give some comments and tipps, to improve. But I'm not so sure if I'll stay skinning this model, or maybe come up with something totally different.

 

[Just_Spectating]

you totally stole my model

 

[M0rbid]

you totally stole my model

What do you mean stolen? How should I know, did you uploaded anything? If yes, I'm sorry, I haven't seen anything and haven't stolen anything. My modell is meant to be as stones, linked by vines, that have their own lives. In the way: " The nature defends itself against the pollution"

Here's an update, please comment

 

[Dentothor]

much much much much much more definition. all this is to me is a rock filter amd some green and red custom brush strokes...

 

[Red]

Dentothor, when I'm ready to submit my finished skin, do I post the blp/screenshot on this forum as an attachment? Or do I post it in the skins section of the site?

I am the new guy here, ya know

 

[Dentothor]

you can post it to the skin section, but it MUST be linked and/or posted here. (if you post it here then it must include a blp. if you link it, you do not need to do so.)

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Hey there.. just saying that ME (Mr.Goblin) and Pyramidhe@d are in.. we decided on msn to start a challenge between the two of us.. to see who's going to make the best skin ...

lots of tears and blood will come out of this challenge >

 

[Dentothor]

[Hawkwing]

So, I wonder who will be the first to not basically take something and throw some moss and leaves on it.

 

[Dentothor]

@L Lawliet
you failed to show us work in progress pictures, as stated in the first post that you must post at least one so that will not be accepted as a final entry. and also, try to be creative. i can see that is basically a total rip off from red shifts idea.

@Mr. Gobin
the robot tree, ur skeleton reaper thingy for #14 and i think you almost did something for 13 im not quite sure.

@Hawkwing
i think m0rbid attempted to do that. on his skeleton.

 

[M0rbid]

@Hawkwing
i think m0rbid attempted to do that. on his skeleton.

Mh, I attempted to get the feeling of rocks, linked by vines, but I think my really low skills made me fail. I'm also not sure if the Skeleton model is the right for my idea....

 

[Red]

@Morbid: The Skeleton unit was obviously not made to stand up to close scrutiny. The model itself has to have a poly count of maybe 50 and the UV wrapping is awful, none of this is your fault of course.
Going with a skeleton skin in a texture contest is almost like voluntarily handicapping yourself :/

Heres my Submission.
A very NATURAL peasant

Sorry, no idea how to do spoiler tags

 

[Pyritie]

nah he needs a fig leaf there, not some g-string

 

[Kazzo]

Well here is my final work i will fix the white spots and it will be finished

 

[communist_orc]

nah he needs a fig leaf there, not some g-string

and if someones doing Adam we have to have someone that will texture an Eve^^

 

[Stanakin]

@ Kazzo, I'd really change the inside of the mouth if I was you. It makes no sense for a tree to have a tongue.

 

[thisruoy]

may i texture 2 models. or is 1 the limit.
I think i got a plan, but its a secret.
Its 2 models and it involves the bible.
Im not giving you guys any more hints but one of the skins will be named adam.

 

[M0rbid]

Am I still allowed to change the model that I want to skin? Because I got a new model for my idea which maybe works better, so am I allowed to upload a new skin even if I posted the skeleton before?

 

[Dentothor]

you may change it as many times as you want before the submission deadline. but you may only choose ONE skin to submit. if you submit two or more without telling me which one you want, i will choose for you.

 

[M0rbid]

So this is my new WiP then, same idea, but I hope in the end there will be a better execution.

Anyway new wip coming soon... i think >.>
