So we can use any model in the database? (with one texture, of course) But don't we need permission from the modeller? I once uploaded an icon based on a custom model and it all went ka-boom because I didn't get permission.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Yes, any model using a single UW.

You're right, I should add that in the rules.

 

[D a w n]

as a small request: if you ask somebody for permission, it would be great, if that person would just post under this thread that permission to edit his model's texture is granted.
Makes it much easier for everybody.
On a side note: if you need a wireframe of the texture: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-uv-map-existing-wc3-file-use-skinning-88596/

Oh and good luck

i just prefer to have good manners and politeness at all times. and being a gentleman. i prolly gave you shit to teach you that lesson. not to mention the whole IRL ip thing.

the modellers probably wont mind though.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

It's not so much about the permission itself, but more so the decency to ask for it, and in the off-chance they do mind, you'll at least not get in trouble for it.

I might as well add that I'll need two judges for this. I won't have time to judge myself.

 

[Dionesiist]

Since nobody else will.

 

[D a w n]

looks great so far. Tarrasque's texture for this model always appeared a bit random to me

 

[M0rbid]

First little Layout, not sure wether I can really get this to work...
However this COULD be a base...
Of course nothing in a final state but merely a placeholder...

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Because Dionessis asked me to join, I will... I might not finish my entry... but oh well, will see

Good luck everyone!

 

[Amargaard]

Kewl, I'll subscribe to this

 

[Ilike]

Texturing Contest 20 already? that was fast.

 

[Dionesiist]

... it's been here for two days. ಠ_ಠ

 

[Mr.Goblin]

le bonjour!

 

[Dionesiist]

Ha, that's a model I'd been considering, myself. Though my direction would've been different. Nice idea you got there.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Not so sure I'll continue with that texture tough, that Cobra is really restricting, I mean I changed it into some-short of magic totem.. but still, I don't really know.. will see how things involved, but I might change for the barbarian or something..

 

[Dionesiist]

So, uh, yeah, tough time coming up with an outfit. Referenced Uther for this layout in particular [also I stole the colours from his texture, as well].

 

[ike_ike]

because hakeem doesn't do this sort of modelling i had to get the next best thing

tachikoma turret pot pourri

 

[Dionesiist]

Also your image is all but working.

 

[Stanakin]

Just an idea..

 

[8512590215848]

Hum...hum.... my wips will come soon.

 

[8512590215848]

First wip

 

[Dionesiist]

Edit your posts [that is, don't double post]. Also, looking good, but I hope you will throw in more colours.
As for me, trying out wing ideas because I can't come up with a full outfit. [finished arms and legs]

Yes, that's about as big as they can probably get with the available space.

 

[8512590215848]

Face complite, hair not atm, but i finished concept and selected final style

 

[A.R.]

Yes, that's about as big as they can probably get with the available space.

Dio is clearly talking about boobs here.

Still deciding on what I'm going to do :|

 

[Dionesiist]

No kidding, we're talking wc3 Ivy here.

 

[Kazzo]

Boooooooooooobs.

 

[ike_ike]

[Kazzo]

[Kazzo]

[Bannar]

[Kazzo]

[Amargaard]

Smoking animation?

 

[eubz]

Just a few days I haven"t visited here and, woah! new contest for skinning... Shiik is really very very active...

 

[-Grendel]

I'm gonna texture Dio's vampire archer model.

 

[eubz]

Let me try texturing again... I'm going to texture Lasher... I have it now...

 

[-W3SK3R-]

not so many users has joined the contest... :/

 

[chr2]

It has barely started. I bet lots of users will join in due time.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Nobody actually pointed it out, or started working on an unacceptable model yet, but I noticed the lack of a rule specifying what kind of models can be used. Beyond needing to have a custom texture, the chosen model has to be a unit (includes heroes). Attachments are too simple. Added to the rules.

 

[Kazzo]

So here it's my final entry


Added fingolin's permission.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Bleeeeh. :3

 

[THE_END]

..Ouch, hm if I hadn't started on Dio's model we used awhile back I would enter...oh wellz

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I still don't quite understand the rule, we can use what ever model we want on the hive, as long as we have the ''open fire'' of the modeler that did it?

 

[Arowanna]

@Mr.Goblin, I think that's it.

And I'm think of joining... But I'm having a hard time picking a model

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Yeah, we wouldn't want any angry modellers, not that I expect any of them to be angry about texturers making new textures for their models. Also, in the case of Jigrael, I don't think he's visiting very often, and knowing his personality a bit, I think he'd be delighted if people made textures for his models. Same goes for Dio. I can't speak for anyone else, though, so it's safest to ask for permission if they're still active, otherwise, bleh, don't bother.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

To those who wish to make custom textures for my models specifically for this contest, you have my approval.

 

[L_Lawliet]

I might hit on this as my comeback

 

[eubz]

Good luck to the contestants....

 

[Dionesiist]

what contestants?
