Modeling Competition #1 - Attachment Pack

one of the weapons from my pack close up and with all its juices flowing.

Maybe it's just me but that looks a LOT like Illidain(X)'s. .

It uses the same texture.

Yes, that beautiful Frostmourne texture.... what a great piece of work that is.

Well yeah I realize that. . .but the sword design is almost the same. . .oh well must just be my imagination

Ok, i have a nub question and seeing so much of it here, im gona ask... People have their attachments and there are always glowing particles and like frost effects like on Sansui's Sword, the glow it has.... im using 3ds Max 9, is there a link for a tutorial that will show me how to do this or can any of you send me a messege on how i would go about adding the same effects to my models.
Thanks

you should download arttools for 3dsmax 4.2 and 5. and you should have studio max 4.2 or 5 i think. It has particle emiters plugins that let you easily make them.

Do you know how hard it is to find a copy of 3DSMax that old? Very hard.

I have Czech contacts.

well that sword was designed well before I saw Illidans, i simply changed the texture on it.

I dont know where to get 3ds max 4.2 OH WELL

Please do not discuss this here. AT all.

Yep srry, ill delete post, Lol :-D

Okay guys, 15 days and counting. Let's get into high gear!

Good luck all guys, do your best!
Werewulf Gl with ure pack!
im seeing forward to it!

Heh, kick it into high gear? I tuink the gear their in is as high as it goes, Chriz. It's all amazing work so far, so i'm excited to see what will come from them over the next 15 days counting towards the deadline.

Spyglass.
In-game textures.

2 werds
Da sex

I don't really like it... the texture seems kinda' too segmented :/ dunno

Because camel made me.

I proclaim Chriz. the winner, contest ended.

aww i already made one of those a long time back not sure if it was on search or the old forges on wc3c... me and shadowstrike made a spork.

It better have been a titanium spork! Chriz's looks like some ordinary plastic spork.... not cool!

Compass.
In-game textures.


Pirate Map
In-game textures.

cough*Pirates of the Caribbean much?*Cough
OH! Hey Chriz. didn't see ya there
Nice models, it looks like they have some sorta theme...hmmm I wonder

Stunning! All the WIP previews are excellent! Keep up the good work folks

two more previews

Sansui, I like the bendy sword Chriz, I like the map, but the compass.... I think it's the wood part of the texture that I don't like...

Compass.
Better In-game textures.

Better Chriz

Yes, I like the compass much better now

@ Chriz. : How do you make the animation gif's?

Camtasia Studio, and Animation Shop.

It would better to show ingame pics , because these items will be used in game only . These nice rendered and animated items wont be so nice looking in game , so try to show the real pics .

That's not rendered, that's in the viewer, meaning that's how it will look in game.

EDIT: Just realized you most likely meant the other people with the render comment, my mistake.

I only have about 2 more ideas for what to make, and time will probably only allow for them anyway. I'll try to keep myself in the competition.

Yep I mean all ppl and also I mean myself

rober artua and werewulf, I give you both +rep because you both made great attachments that can be useful for many projects. As for me, I made a snowman hat, but I have no idea how to skin or animate it ( : I also don't know how to post G-Max screen shots. Or model G-Max for that matter, would like help if you are kind enough.

I know i havent been posting here, idc. I suggest werewulf (or illidan) should open an attachment thread where people can ask for specially made attachments.

Looking at your incredible list of attachments there gave me this idea, which is also good becuase attachments look easy to make, so we know you can keep up with demands...

Also i gave you and illidan +rep. Awesome models there, can wait to see the finished product in my map! lol.

PLEASE MAKE SURE, if you have the models as an item or a unit, they are selectable!!! Im not sure what thats called, but i like having the acutal models as my item art, and is so annoying when you cant pick up the items...

Do not suggest anything. You assume too much. Werewulf was mentally drained after creating that attatchment pack, so to be doing more and more and more constantly is not really a good idea;.... also don't assume they are easy to make just because they made a lot of them... they worked really reaaaally hard on then to make that many.

Deadline is fast approaching ladies and gents.

Don't forget it: Thursday the 15th at 24:00 GMT +1.

Makes me appreciate this even more...

Two days remaining people. What happened here?

I think most of the key players have already posted their finished submissions and are just awaiting the final few to do so, and to await the results of the judging. Looks like *someone* is going to get a metric assload of rep, and real soon.

Rules and Guidelines:

• You have to make sure the attachments are fully and correctly functional in-game.
• No extracting attachments from in-game models.
• The models must be textured, either in-game textures, or custom textures.
• You must post at least 1 WIP preview before the deadline.
• To qualify for entry, you must post your models/skins in .mdx and .blp format, and an in-game screenshot of every model.
• You must post your entry before the deadline expires.
• You must make the models/textures for this competition. Which means that you cannot use old works.
• Keep the polycount quite low, as these are supposed to be useful attachments as a pack.

I have yet to see any proper submissions.

I concur. I would also anticipate that there will be a flurry of last minute submissions from the (serious) competitors, and that the number of valid, acceptable entries will be very low.

Ah, I see. Well I hope people will get with it and get going then If not, then you can always give MEEEEEE the metric assload of rep

My ask why the contest ends in the middle of the week.. How am I to do my Real Life work and this. I already get almost no sleep just to get some free time to relax.

Okay, here we go..

Illidan(evil)x's Crazy Attachment Pack

Zip includes:
- 21 custom models
- 1 custom texture (path: Textures\BoneClub.blp)
- ReadMe

Because that's how it has been since the start of the competition? It seems I'll have to push the deadline anyway because of so few entries, so I guess I'll move the deadline to Sunday night at 12:00 AM GMT +1

So I want to see more than one entry people, I don't want to give away awards by default.

Outstanding submission though Illidan, very creative, and I love the light bulb idea.

Me too. Also the silly hat and santa hat. The wings might prove useful too. I'll see if I use them in my campaign...
