[Deolrin]

The title should be "Texturing Competition #17 - Poll". And there should be a global notification for all users that the poll is up.

I voted for Stanakin Skywalker's hut. I would have voted for Red Shift, but those huge, ship-like, round windows really bother me.

(Edit by Pyritie: Fixed!)

 

[supertoinkz]

I like Just_spectating's entry, very awesome idea.

 

[Just_Spectating]

thanks

my vote goes to...


l0w_kwaliti

brilliant church

creativity gave him my vote

 

[M0rbid]

Not sure how I'll decide, yet. The entrys all look very nice...
I'll need some more time to decide.

 

[Piwlady]

Go go Red Shift!

 

[Kala]

Voted for M0rbid.
Just brilliant

 

[Hawk]

Stanakin Skywalker has my vote. Nice & useful

 

[McQvaBlood]

I voted for the Church of Light. Very creative.

 

[Brombie]

Can l0w_kwaliti's submission really be the crypt model...? That's an incredible transformation I must say!
I would certainly use it as a church model with the other human buildings. It fits in rather well in the theme.
It gets my vote!

 

[Illidan_Hunter]

I vote for l0w_kwaliti's Church of the Holy Light. It's really awesome, amazing how an undead building can be transformed.

 

[PROXY]

Voted for Red Shift He has got the most usefull of all of the entries. One texture -> much buildings what can be better? it's also a plus in file size

All the other entries are also really good Good job you've done here

If Red Shift wouldn't be there, I would have voted for Dan, because I love the concept, only reason I voted not for him is, that they don't fit too much to other wc3 buildings...

 

[Arowanna]

I love most of these... I don't really know what to pick :>
Red Shift's Baradin Bay Slums are awesome thanks to their usefulness and awesomeness, yet the other skins are awesome, but not as useful.

So RS, you're my choice today D:

 

[L_Lawliet]

AWESOMENESS for RedShift ~~ you got my vote dude. very useful

 

[Soul Theft]

My vote shurely goes for Dentothor because it awesome and creative

 

[FadedLeveling]

Red Shift's buildings look like outhouses ;\

 

[Chizume]

Red Shift's buildings look like outhouses ;\

They kind of look like indoor to me - but still they look really good, but not enough.

My vote went to Stanakin's hut because it's simple yet awesome and, the way I see it, very useful.

Yours,
Chizume

 

[JokeMaster]

I cannot decide... The throne of beasts is awsome and very original... But the bay slums also looc fantastic... From the other way the abandoned assylum is jus great... Ah fuck i won't vote. :/

 

[Dentothor]

J_S for sure. Absolutely brilliant idea.

 

[TastyBamboo]

Went with Red Shift's Baradin Bay Slums. They were just so full of awesomeness and quality. But l0w_kwaliti's Church of the Holy Light was a close second for me as well.

Semi-Detailed Critique of All Submissions

Dan van Ohllus's Houses with Weird Chimneys
POS: I actually really like them. The creative use of the chimneys almost makes me think of Dr. Suess. I could see myself using these skins.
NEG: The overall skin doesn't seem have a general theme, making it not blend together as well.


Dentothor's Abandoned Asylum
POS: This is a very creative skin. The detail in the wood looks very well done.
NEG: Sadly, the rest of the model isn't as high quality as the base. The towers look off and the door and terrace doesnt match.


Just_Spectating's Throne Of The Beasts
POS: Seems to be very WC3-esque which I like in models.
NEG: The throne seems to be more of a Magnatuar trophy display than an altar or throne.


l0w_kwaliti's Church of the Holy Light
POS: Another very creative skin. A nifty idea I thought of is... How cool would it be to have the church corrupted and turned into the crypt in a game for some reason? Anyway love the concept and the thorough looking job.
NEG: The walls don't seem to match the brick patterns of the barracks or the castle. It has a style of its own, albeit a good thing, not something that should have been done this time.


M0rbid's Futuristic Towers
POS: One of my favorite models, good quality and creative.
NEG: Although well done, they don't seem that appealing.


Red Shift's Baradin Bay Slums
POS: The textures are clearly the best quality work in this contest. The detail, the theme- awesome! I might even use them sometime. I love the variation and appreciate the fact that you still managed to maintain a similar look through the texturing.
NEG: I think the grungey feel is a little overplayed and on some of the buildings the overall textures seemed out of place- not aligning with the rest of it.

Stanakin Skywalker's Hut
POS: Appealing, unique and simple. Just what I like in a model. LOL, just when you think a peasant's house couldn't look more poor.
NEG: If you only included a doorless model the 'stacking' idea would make the models a lot more useful. After all a door to a drop is kinda- @_@.


thisruoy's Arcane Vault
POS: Clearly the cutest model in this contest. Was a good laugh.
NEG: Although funny, I don't see it being that useful. And if you had something like- hearts floating around it instead of runes, that would be much more win.

 

[Pinachet]

Red Shift's Baradin Bay Slums - the best texture for sure.
But I hesitated about the second place, bexause Houses with Weird Chimneys by Dan van Ohllus and Hut by Stanakin are very good, and I also liked M0rbid's Futuristic Towers, so the second place is split for me at least...

 

[M0rbid]

I did go for DvO's Houses with Red Chimneys.

What actually made me do this is soemthing, that has nothing to do with the quality of the skin. Because many entrys where so damn good in terms of quality that I could not decide which is the best. So I decided to go with the most creative one.
To be honest, Shift's is damn awesome. But it's not tooo creative for me. Stanakin, J_S, l0w, and DvO were very creative, same goes for Dent, (btw. same goes for thisruoy, but his model choice and technique aren't good enough compared to the rest), but what really putted my vote towards DvO were the idea of the chimneys. Great idea and great execution in them! They look pretty weird. --
..
And I like it!

 

[ikillforeyou]

The companion cube had least votes, even though it wasn't the best skin, it was the most creative. lol.

 

[D a w n]

voted for DvO's wierd houses

 

[Red]

Voted for Stanakin Skywalker, I'd give l0w_kwaliti my 2nd.

Kind of bothers me how few votes Stanakin has... you guys are looking at the skins before voting, right? -__-

 

[Dentothor]

The companion cube had least votes, even though it wasn't the best skin, it was the most creative. lol.

he has done the same thing for two contests... theres not really anything creative about it anymore...

 

[Miss_Foxy]

The Arcane Vault looks adorable.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Dan van Ohllus's entry is very good. I'll vote for him.


/end of cereal biznuz

I had a hard time choosing between Just_Spectating's, M0rbid's, Red Shift's and Stanakin's entries. These are the ones that I liked most.
But I finally came to a conclusion that Stanakin will get my vote.

 

[ashbringer753]

well i voted for m0rbid because i like the idea, and the result is pretty good...even though I know Red Shift is gonna win.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

i could not decide between slums and church. I flipped a coin, church won.

 

[thisruoy]

My vote is for the church

 

[TastyBamboo]

My vote is for the church

you should implement the dancing guy into a texture somehow

 

[yeohxin]

MY vote goes to Stanakin.
Because I think it is realistic and well made.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

umm right. can someone get the links with the actual blp files? just looking at screenshots doesnt really do justice.

[Creed345]

Sick towers mOrbid !

 

[PiPo]

lol at the arcane vault. For who doesn't knows: its a box from the game Portal from valve

 

[Rui]

Dentothor's reskin for the High Elven Barracks was very tempting. However, my vote goes for l0w_kwaliti's "Church of the Holy Light". First, because it's probably the most useful. Second, because I had never seen someone re-texture a Crypt. It was pretty smart.

 

[Orgreem]

My vote goes to red shift!

 

[Dratz]

My vote goes to Stanakin

I barely made myself vote, I feel sorry for the other participants, they worked hard and .. you know.. I usually cry

 

[ZIR]

I vote for M0rbid because his submission is the creativst.

 

[Figueiredo00]

my vote goes to Red Shift, but Stanakin and l0w quality did a great job too. nice contest.

 

[Walle]

L0w_kwaliti's church is just amazing... the transformation is unbelievable! But i got to admit all the textures are awesome! extremely high standard in this contest!

 

[Deleted member 157129]

1. Red Shift
Absolutely stunning.

2. Stanakin Skywalker
Awesome.

3. Just_Spectating
Very interesting.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Like so many other, my vote goes to RedShift. I would, however, like to congratulate all the contestants on a job well done.

 

[-SoulBurn]

I alsmot couldn't decide between M0rbid's Futuristic Towers and Red Shift's Baradin Bay Slums. Red shift made a better texture work, but M0rbid's idea was more creative, and with some fog work that tower could be damn usefull for Star Wars map. And would look very great too.

 

[RoboHippo]

So many amazing entries...

Ultimately, I voted for M0rbid's, though. I'd never have thought of those tower models for a futuristic building, but he pulled it off masterfully.

 

[Dentothor]

I am out of the contest. The symbol on My Building was a trace of another picture.
And seemingly enough I did not know that this would cause a disqualification, As it is under the 25%.
Sorry Everybody.

I'll remove you from the poll.

If anyone voted for dent, you can revote for someone else.

voted for Morbid's entry, i'm definately not voting ---------'s entry
