Thread: No.1 UnOfficial Team Collaboration Mini - Wow Mounts

Well a little late start this adventure! , here is the concept what will be my frog mount.

This is my entry: Mr. Turtle ("Hot Air Balloon"-like Mount)

- i'll add a "chair" under the turtle (like in the sketch)
- i'll try to paint it in zBrush to practise vertex painting

I like turtles!


But seriously a flying air balloon turles sounds very promissing.
I also really like your shell it looks awesome!

Hey guys thanks for the kind words- i appreciate it!- I will try and get some crits going tomorrow if I have time- in the meantime- mostly finished ..maybe...

i really like the pony but i would paint more color variation to the planks. currently they all have the same color/brightness. I think it could be more interesting when there is more color variation:



But the rest is great

so i did a bit
need to do textures
under the 2500 cap
hope u like so far
it is a mock txt on it now XD

Dan! & Ruloc: Sweet works dudes!

hi! today I started with modeling, but I can not wait to get to the dominancewar :inocent:
Tomorrow I will modeling the armor for the sweet frog.



Very good job with the Pony Dan! I like it !!

Shadownami92
Really like you dino! I hope you get it finished.

Di$array
Your mount looks really good and clean also! Cool! Only thing i see: where the middle leg reaches into the body you have a really small and thin tri - doesn't look necessary.

Pshyco
Cool dino too. But i think the arms should be smaller and more important: the tail bigger - i mean this body part was the mass which made that the dino didnt fall torwards if you understand what i mean. The bodymass and the armor makes me think that he can't hold the balance.

Ruloc
I like you pet and textures the only thing i don't find perfect are the forearms. I don't know...for me it looks a bit weird how he stand on his upper hand area!? But on the other side...apes do the same.

Urbanmaws
I thinkg you should check two references: hellboy (for face/horns) and the left for dead tank (for anatomy and masses).

belogriviy
Awesome idea!!

danitchu
love the concept!



I added the pilot chair and i got exactly 2500 tris.

Belogriviy is my personal winner

I'm out for the Dominance War.

Good luck to all that stay at this comp!

Well I may actually have time to finally work on this project this week. I had my good friend Matt Andrews sketch up some ideas for me. Probably going to go with one of the bird ideas. We'll see if I can still get this done.

Hey Guys!

Bit pressed for time atm. I'll post some feedback on your ideas when i get some time. Thought i'd quickly show what i have at the moment as well as to say i'm still in the comp.



Good luck all. Some amazing ideas going on!

Dill-n: Awesome man your friend got skills wish I had a concept artist on my side. I wouldn't know which to do they are all pretty kick ass, good luck with choosing one.

Di$array:
Coming along nicely but you have to make the diffuse 100% self illuminated, what App are you using Maya? If you got It use Marmoset the older free version if you got It laying around, or the new one if you purchased It.

Sry to hear Seirei there is enough time for this and D.W.5 I mean you got two months...ya know, It's cool good luck with Domwar.

ilegacy:
Nice idea I was at first like huh a floating sea turtle but I grew to love It. Sort of resembles this turtle
from the never ending story.

danitchu:
Great idea a frog will be kick ass I can almost see him now standing in his armor, some great possibilities with that one. Looks very mean I love It, great concept.

vieira505:
Cheetah! It only makes sense to have one of those around they are fast mofo's can't wait to see more of him.

I agree with ilegacy Dan! there should be some different's in the wood both front and back sides of the wood as well, shouldn't be all that hard to overlay some dark tones onto It. It's sill kick ass either way!

Not much going on with my little guy just yet, I had something but decided to do some research and study how they went about there texturing or at least trying to find ways to mimic the results, so far so good but for right now this is all I got will post more later today.

Keep on trucking guys these are looking amazing glad to have you aboard!

Cool Sinz, thanks for the feedback and also the reference! Nice!

Your first texture steps look cool! I would add black dirt to the end of the cylinder thingi with the holes

Dill-n - awsome, what brushes do you use?

So here is where I'm at. Probably have the Modeling and UVs done by tomorrow and spend Saturday and Sunday texturing.

Nice but a non smooth / wire view would be better to see how the meshflow works.

here u are ilegacy. Still have just a bit more modeling to and then the UVs. Probably going to clean up the loops at the leg joints and reduce some of the topo on the wings. This will be a running mount not a flying one, like a chocobo I suppose haha. Gotta say that Dom War is starting to distract me. Hopefully I can get this done. Keep up the great work guys!

ilegacy:
Thanks those are the engines and I will do that soot dealio.

Dill-n:
Birds looking awesome man I didn't use all of the triangles either just 200 or so more than you.
He's awesome looking and lots of room for fancy texturing, colors, and such.

Well here's mine I know It's not much of a pimp (tease) but I need some help with the color scheme, I kind of already picked out some colors and asked someone and It amazed me they picked the same ones. I thought It would be a bit of fun to have you guys pick out some colors that you guys liked and see what could be done as a main or alternative color scheme.

Hope you guys like It, will show more closer images after some selections choices from the community. I am happy and surprised I got this far with It, and still 2 more days left.

I also feel like I got the hang of how wow textures are made.:thumb:

I know the red one is fugged up.
