Alright, this tournament round goes on for 5 days. It will then go on for one day after that, when it will be voted for. If you vote for one, please vote for the rest of them as well. Also, if the next day there are not at least 3 votes on one side, the mods will judge the winner. Have a great time and this round is on:

Underwater Creature :D.

Textures are a must.. but can be as little as lamberts and blinns :P. The two battlers for this thread are:

Morpher
and
Mumbojumbo

Have a great battle!

oh damm just found this ok good luck morpher im going to create a cartoon fish based on a deep sea fish with a light from its head

heres what i mean

looks awsome man.....cant wait to see what it will look like...

good luck to both of you

your fish reminds me of a scene from the "Finding Nemo" trailer:D.
I will try to modell a cartoonish goldfish.
Good luck to you!

ok started

without so much fog

you started? seems like this is the final version without any texturing... great

i agree... looks great...but the fish seems a bit happier than your reference picture:D

yeh im not going for the real thing like in the pic i wanted a cartoon 1
--
thanks guys i still need to play with it i think its too plan to call finished

Lol, tweek i was going to say the same thing... anyways, great job so far.. keep it up!

I will start with my model tomorrow. I think I will try to model the same type of fish, but in a mush more aggresive looking way:D. I think it is a good idea to model the same type of fish because it is then easier to decid for the users who should win this round of the tournament.

Is that not the coolest fish ever?

Mumbo- I like the toungue sticking out at us :D and that he is kinda cross eyed. maybe have him looking at the glowing light crossed eyed? heh heh.

H!

ok done some texturing come on morph getting lonely
thx guys

I will post my first pictures this evening- I just started with the modelling:)

ok fixed the eyes

did a toon shader render for fun

your skills are incredible... O_o

that is a cool fish, mumbo. i just dont like the toon shader too much - but maybe you fine tune it. have you thought about adding some fog (water is never really clear) to the final render? and if you have time maybe some simple green leaves in the background. not sure if the rules allow that though ;)

I started with the modelling, but I didn't get that far today, because the wether was way too good:D.
Here is a small preview-just a very basic version;)http://www.morpher.de/pics/maya_battle/preview_001.jpg

hah, looking really nice both of you! And mumbojumbo.. your skills just keep improving! I do not care for the blue tint though.. it takes away from the model :(.. anyways, morpher.. good start :D... just same thing to you too.. first off the tail may look better if it comes into a point on each tip.. and not rounded off.. and the eyes i know its just a start... but try build the mesh around the eye to make it look more in place :). Keep it up, both of ya :D

done some texturing of my own :D

Your model is looking great- I have to do really good for having a chance to beat you:).

thanks i just hope you finish :D

I will finish- I can model tomorrow the whole day. Tonite I will go on with my model and upload some new pics:).

ok heres my final because i dont get the day thing
--
good luck morpher

Great Job!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

cheers tweek :D

Very nice Mumbo!
H!

Good work!

Hey guys, just for any confusion, the challenge ends as of midnight (-8GMT) my time. Therefore after this post, which i posted at 8.. you have 16 hours left. Try to get your final renders in before that time.. if both people get there final renders before the end of the day, the voting can start then :). Once this rounds got all the final renders in, i will update the tournament chart, as its hard when theres 8 people.. i will do it more frequently when theres 4. Great work so far to all of you.

(MASS MESSAGE)

Today was a hard day for- started all over again:D.
Now I modelled a very special version of a goldfish:).

FINAL_RENDER
This is my final render for this battle. I hope that it will be good enough to enter round 2. I don't have any more time tonight for working on the bumpmapping:(.

CU morpher:

the bump looks really nice. is that the default lights?.. they look good too... I cant seem to get goo shadows when I create my own lights :(

good luck!
H!

both finals posted..I made my vote

I created 3 spotlights to light the scene. I used the default maya renderer.

Mumbos looked really good. bur motphs just seemed to look cleaner... except the fins seemed a little hard.. but i liekd it anyway:)

I had no time for the fins- I will work on them after this battle again:)
