Texturing Contest #29 Theme Discussion

Moy · Jul 7, 2018

Gather up and suggest some themes, and we might add it to the pool.

You guys have a week to think of themes and then we'll have a poll for a week too. Good luck!

Current pool:
1. Terrain

Create a new ( or retexture an existing ) tileset. Doesn't have to be the whole but perhaps 4 tiles + cliff tile.

2. Misha's Models

Retexture any Misha's model that uses a custom texture.

3. Disease

Create a texture for any Warcraft unit with an infection spreading onto them.

4. Light vs Void

Make something based on light and void themes.

5. Faerie/Woodlands

Something like treants, wisps, faerie dragons and the like.

6. Wild Beasts

Make a wild animal or some big monster.

7. Monster Hunter

Create a texture that represents someone who hunts monsters.

8. Dragons

Texture any unit (custom or ladder) to like a dragon.

Terrain - Create a new ( or retexture an existing ) tileset. Doesn't have to be the whole but perhaps 4 tiles + cliff tile.
N/A - Create a texture for a neutral creep if it were to change it's habitat to a different kind.
Disease - Create a texture for any Warcraft unit with an infection spreading onto them.
Mechanical - Reskin any mechanical unit.
Faction - Pick a unit from one faction and reskin it to another factions theme
Spawned unit - Resking any of the spawned/summoned units.

+1 for tileset (terrain suggestion)

RED BARON · Jul 8, 2018

Yea, doing a tileset would be nice. Been a while + fitting with the new WE and all.

Just adding one of my old suggestions from last theme discuss:
The odd one: Invisible challenge, of creating a unit that looks "invisible". As an example: Make a unit appear as if it is camouflaged in a bush.. or have partly turned to sand and so forth. Meaning a use of for instance alpha not just to hide parts, but also as part of more central areas and well I guess body painting techniques :grin:

And a new weird one: Texture inspired or of your avatar picture.

Anyway mostly for the tileset one myself.

Chen · Jul 8, 2018

I probably suggested these ones before but oh well:

Alliance vs Horde - Create a texture that represents either the Alliance or the Horde.
Light vs Void - Make something based on the Light and Void themes.
Faerie/Woodlands - Something like treants, wisps, fairie dragons and the like.
Wild Beasts - Make a wild animal or some big monster.
Monster Hunter - Create a texture that represents someone who hunts monsters.

If five is too much, then just ignore Alliance vs Horde and/or Wild Beasts.

well i have nothing on my mind than re-texturing my own models, i'm not sure why you have constantly neglected that, when there have been instances of custom models being re-textured for a contest..

so.. let's see.. i do have some unique models among that mass of naga that i made with a custom texture. Dragoon, mr.scary, Mirjana, a slew of netherdrakes, weird mix of protoss and naga, mastermind tank, piranha, my own walls.. xD

something's bound to spark your imagination, even if you pick just one

PrinceYaser · Jul 8, 2018

Why not making a poll with just the most voted of those suggestions of the previous theme poll? I see no cause for suggesting too much themes, just adding a few more fresh suggestions to those.

HD retexture of anything from War3? From terrain to doodads

Moy · Jul 9, 2018

We need to restart the theme pool, the reason for that is because the last discussion we have themes that we could not understand because they lack descriptions. Now you see the cause

can i involve direfury models? like creating a new texture for his model cuz of him only using ingame texture, but that sound kinda tough challenge

You'd have to be so lucky, having a model where the different parts of the model occupies different areas of the UV mapping. That or it would require rewrapping to work.

Well, Apheraz was nice enough to write them down.

We could just bring back the runner ups from the previous poll. If they win, then they get the second chance they deserve. If not, then I guess people don't really like them that much or found themes that they like more.

something i've thinking for a while but never thought it will work...

Moy · Jul 11, 2018

Okay then, should we have a poll only containing the top 5 suggested themes from the previous one?

What I meant is add the top two or three themes from the previous poll to this one(forgot to mention it, sorry). We can still go ahead and use the top 5 themes from the previous one if people want, though.

Moy · Jul 11, 2018

Okay then we'll have 5 here and the top 5 from the previous poll. Deal? People should agree especially to those who might participate
