not much. but i made a capez.

What texture did you used for the cape? Looks dope, btw. Maybe I'll change my entry because of the animations problem, again...

Heinvers · Sep 24, 2015

Pretty skeletor.
You know, that would look really cool as an undead genie of sorts as well(seeing only the upper body hanging like that).

clockwork2 · Sep 25, 2015

If your ok with increasing the size, maybe a unnatural mist effect?

-Grendel · Sep 25, 2015

meh. done i guess.

here's his "oh come on dont be such a retard" pose

Roland · Sep 25, 2015

[-] The legs are like 70's make it more tactical and wizard like
[+] The torso, hands and the head also the cape output is really great, Make it more scary-wizard like

Anyway, Good-luck participants, Nice WiPs

OR he could add a joint in his mouth. Make him appear as if he's getting high. All his spells would be hallucinogen, drug induce related.
Could work I suppose.

Kyrbi0 · Sep 25, 2015

@Direfury: What? But your concept was so solid... Yur nae gettin' scared outta yer wee booties, eh?

'That's just, like, your opinion, man.'

Seriously, though. Some wizards are Skeletor's, and some are He-Man's. A buff wizard is cool-io.

rcshaggy · Sep 25, 2015

Good to see everyone making some nice Wizard related models for a nice contest.
I can't decide which one to vote for. :/

Dude, that's how I suggest, It's my way of judging >,>

ON-TOPIC: I'm not sure who or what will I vote, but those models are quite sick and bad-ass~! <3 Good~luck guys!

His pose on the third picture looks high enough

Edge45 · Sep 26, 2015

Make the face 100% hairless or like cancer thingy.. Anyway, Love the face XD

Misha · Sep 26, 2015

that face IS rather pretty and eerie at the same time

clockwork2 · Sep 27, 2015

En Taro Adun Misha, aaand yes it is..... You terran's art style.

-Grendel · Sep 29, 2015

working on some sfx. i might retexture his armor. i'm kinda deciding whether to make him a dark wizard or an ice magus.

Deolrin · Sep 29, 2015

Just as a reminder, tomorrow is the last day of the contest. Any requests for an extension?

fuck.
For some reason I thought that was 30. Novemeber...
Oh well, it seems I'm not entering that contest, and I won't slow it down by asking an extension just for me. Good luck to all the contestants!
If someone else asks for an extension of atleast 7-10 days, I would definitely use it though.

EDIT: Wait, isn't October between September and November? xD
It seems we have 30 more days... if that isn't a typo.

Stefan.K · Sep 29, 2015

Damn. My college sarts in two days and the contest is over tommorow?

the deadline is set to 1st of november. :|

Hantoo · Sep 30, 2015

Oh well, i might not be able to make it :V but i will still try and see if i can finish it in time
Isnt that 1 november? Should has err still have some time?

Deolrin · Sep 30, 2015

Forgive me. I'm an idiot. I was sure it was the 1st of October, feels like the contest's been going on forever already. Oh well! Nothing to see here, folks, continuing as planned.

I know you've probably done plenty of Dark-magic, but definitely dark. Ice is over-done (in general & in the Scourge in particular).

If you wanna make it more interesting, go with purpley-corruption magic. : )

-Grendel · Sep 30, 2015

dark mage it is! also spell channel.

Hrrrmmmmm I think if you go ice magus you should add a blue particle effect on his eyes.... or frost his gloves.

Exarch · Sep 30, 2015

I'M STUCK!

Done with animations but can't export from 3DS MAX 2014 with animations correctly, actually not even the single model can't be exported.. i tryed almost 10 type of scripts but doesn't work at all.
All i need is figuring the team color-glow and exporting the whole model. I really need help over here, even if it means disturbing the contest rules i'd still want to get help to learn it completely. Can anyone give me a hand? please

Another question; We also have to create spell effects for the contest?

Deolrin · Sep 30, 2015

I'm not familiar with 3DS Max. It's probable that you used a technique (for mesh or animations) which is incompatible with .MDX. I suggest you ask BlinkBoy, I think he may have more information.
Spell effects? Well, you can add particles during the model's animation, that goes under the "Effects" score alongside glows and other non-"physical" parts of the model. It's not necessary but it is a part of the grading. Models which don't need particles won't have points reduced because they don't have any. You probably want some on a mage, though.

Exarch · Sep 30, 2015

Okay! I will ask him, i know this shouldn't be the place for this kind of questions but you just keep answering them. I really appreciate it, thank you!

Deolrin · Sep 30, 2015

It's fine. Any questions about the contest are welcome. Maybe one of the contestants could help you out.

-Grendel · Sep 30, 2015

kinda retextured some parts of the model. i dont really know if its better.

Deolrin · Sep 30, 2015

I like the darker armor and hood better, but I'm not sure about the generic Arthas shoulderpads and the revenant cape.

-Grendel · Sep 30, 2015

Hm. Maybe the black cape on the second version and i'll retexture the 1st shoulderpad layer to a teamcolored texture.

Direfury · Sep 30, 2015

I may be going with a Gnome Arcanist instead of that "Stormreaper" concept.

Feeeeh...

-Grendel, I like the gold gauntlets, but I think they clash aesthetically. Meh.

Deolrin · Sep 30, 2015

The gold gauntlets do look better than the previous ones, I just noticed. You could dye them darker like the boots and I think it would fit.

-Grendel · Oct 2, 2015

pretty much done in terms of mesh, animations and effects. all that remains is the portrait.

Roland · Oct 2, 2015

I love the model and it's animation, But what I really dislike is how you edit the preview of the model screenshot making a higher density of Sharpening filters.. Can't you just un-sharpen the model so it won't mess up the model screenshot?

-Grendel · Oct 2, 2015

Oh about that sharpen thing, i didnt really do that on purpose, somehow when i save screenshots it automatically does that. So, yeah its pretty bad and to really see the model as it is, you'll have to wait until its released and preview it. I cant really do something about the sharpen thing on my screenshots, sorry :<

edit: so uh, whenever i'll post a wip here i'll just switch to my laptop to make the previews. Only way i can think of.

And here I just thought you were always trolling with us.

"Diomedes", eh? Sounds fantastic.

-Grendel · Oct 2, 2015

so uhh.. i guess im done?
its really an early submission but most needed parts of the model are done although i may probably edit out some things before the deadline. if i ever find some things that needs editing that is.

Direfury · Oct 2, 2015

Got big plans for this model. I've abandoned the other concept entirely. I intend to make this much more impressive than it appears.

nice, lookin' pretty cool. i like those potions and spell scrolls on his belt. details! :thumbs_up:

Roland · Oct 3, 2015

So cute I love it so much

Blood Raven · Oct 3, 2015

Yo dawgs meet ma Cultist blood mage spellsword dude.
Yes, this is probably the 3rd or 4th time I change my concept but what the hell...
I will probably change some elements and details though.

Looks like a well taught sword fighter and mage at the same time, would be cool if he had attacks using both melee and range.

Misha · Oct 3, 2015

Blood Raven the theme is Wizard, aka not-so-much melee as magic-dependent

just so you know, to not go overboard with sword-usage

Blood Raven · Oct 3, 2015

To explain how my model will work.
The default set of animations will feature him attacking with his sword, for critical strike he will enchant his sword, and he will have a few spell animations.
The alternate animations will have him drop his sword to the ground and levitate, casting powerful spells with both hands and kicking complete ass with even more spell animations. Is that fine?

clockwork2 · Oct 3, 2015

Sounds good enough for me! Btw I love the gnome Arcanist and Holder of Entropy.... Badass guys! I'm gonna vote for one of those two probably.... Although I hold a certain affection for spell-swords.

Deolrin · Oct 3, 2015

I already said spellswords are allowed so it sounds completely fine. The only way something like that wouldn't be fine is if he only had melee swordfighting animations with no particles and his only spell would've been a leap or a spin/cyclone.

Also... Awesome looking concept. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
