Amoeba Vs. Joopson!
 
Here is the thread, we have one week to conceptualize and model a futuristic battle-machine!

this ends on Tuesday the 8th!

-Andy

ill get started soon, hopefully today ;)

amoeba 30-06-2008 02:45 PM

Just to make shure, what kind of battle machine are we doing?
You mean ground-type battle machines aswell, right?
(Things like anti-grav tanks, mechs, and other things like that)
:confused:

Joopson 30-06-2008 03:38 PM

any kind of battle machine, its pretty open ended. Im actually doing a ground-based one aswell, so yes.

Mayaniac 30-06-2008 04:21 PM

Sweet! I thought the battle arena had curled up and died!
It's about time we saw some action around here!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Have fun!

P.S. I get winner! :D

30-06-2008 04:24 PM

I got $5 on Amoeba, cause I despise Joopson. :p

amoeba 30-06-2008 10:15 PM

Are we going to post our concept art, or do we keep t to ourselves (I have not started yet, but still, just making shure)
:)

starjsjswars 30-06-2008 10:27 PM

You better win joopson, or ill call you JoopNUB! :P

Joopson 30-06-2008 10:43 PM

post the concept, if you can.

Gen 30-06-2008 11:25 PM

Well... it would be a good idea to post a concept to demonstrate that you have the knowledge to actually achieve what you initially set out to do, instead of having stuff happen by accident then rolling with it (I speak from exp >< lol)

Ajmooch 01-07-2008 10:31 AM

Go amoeba go!

I did something kind of unconventional, A 3D concept. Keep in mind that this is crap, but its enough to work off of for when i start modeling. Its gonna be a spider robot tank. its like 10 feet tall, and it shoots rockets from that top part, and bullets from its face... Trust me, you will be able to tell by the end ;)

Hey! Don't be so fast to put your work down! Thats a pretty nice model! rough concept or not... ;)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Oh, and maybe this should be designed to look more like a Scorpion, as you have that large tail/ rocket launcher sticking up, and over it's back.

amoeba 01-07-2008 07:32 PM

Your concept looks good, Joopson! :)
Anyway, I drew a crude top an side view at school, but no good version.
I will hopefully post it today, but Im pretty busy so I can't gurantee it.

PS: An other problem is that I do not have a scanner, and my paents are currently using the digital camera for work-related stuff.
:shakehead

Chirone 01-07-2008 08:19 PM

hey i just realised you're both from different time zones, which tuesday does this end?

amoeba 01-07-2008 08:22 PM

his tuesday, which is basickly at noon on our wendsday (if, as your sig says, you live in NZ aswell)
:)

Chirone 01-07-2008 09:11 PM

Ya dude, i don't lie (much)

looking forward to see the results of this battle (that's not a lie :p )

Joopson 01-07-2008 10:47 PM

does NZ = New Zealand?

Chirone 01-07-2008 10:56 PM

yup

as far as i know thats the only way to interpret it...

nz = no zookeepers
nz = noisy zebras
nz = nutty zoolapons (ok, i've run out of words starting with 'z')

theres nothing silly i can make it expand to... damn lack of 'z'-words ;)

Joopson 07-07-2008 12:02 AM

umm, its already monday, and no concept from you, So, are we calling it off? or are you working in secret? ;):p

Chirone 07-07-2008 02:33 AM

secretly he has been refining his artwork that will ultimately surprise us all

maybe he fights in stealth, hence why he hasn't posted any of his work :ninja:

Mayaniac 07-07-2008 11:21 AM

Well, He needs to post at least his concept, and a couple of progress shots.

Otherwise he could post any image, and say he made it!

Anyway, I hope this challenge isn't over! I was looking forward to seeing the Battle arena roar back to life.

Chirone 07-07-2008 05:11 PM

maybe he's forgotten all about it? :(

Mayaniac 07-07-2008 05:28 PM

Or maybe he saw Joopsons concept and ran off crying ;)

But this sucks! We need to start another battle!

If your interested Joopson we could go at it? Or anyone else for that matter :ninja: I need practice!

Chirone 07-07-2008 05:28 PM

what's to battle with?

Joopson 07-07-2008 05:30 PM

mayaniac, sure, why not...

but, you have to promise to work on it ;)

Mayaniac 07-07-2008 05:41 PM

Oh I'll work on it ;)

So what to you want to do?

Cars... People... creatures.. Hard surface.. organic... etc?

Also, Chirone do want in? we could have a Group battle!

Chirone 07-07-2008 05:42 PM

Ooo sounds fun, i have a bit of time that i need to devote to maya

Mayaniac 07-07-2008 05:45 PM

Alright! It's on then!

So what are we going to model?

Chirone 07-07-2008 05:47 PM

should this part of the post be moved to the challenges part of the forum?

i been meaning to remake my little gundam SD models :p

Mayaniac 07-07-2008 05:56 PM

Yeah we should probably make a new thread!

I'll do it later, or you could... either way!

I guess we could do a Mech style thing if you like. Personally I would like to get some organic character modeling done.
But a cool Mech sounds like fun!

We'll see what Joopson thinks!

Anyway, I'm going to bed!

Joopson 07-07-2008 06:35 PM

Oh yeah, this will be awesome :beer:
I've been in the mood for some organic stuff, but I dont care either way ;)

cheers,
-Andy

Chirone 07-07-2008 06:36 PM

sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry.... D:
 
I am so sorry... :(
OK, the reason I wasn't on since last week was that we where changing servers (my family has it's on domain), so I ended up with no internet.
I really apologise for this, especially to Joopson. And no, I didn't run away crying when I saw your concept! :p

In case this is still going (probably not though..deadline was a few days ago) here is what I did...

(These are very early pics I did on the first day (Last saturday I believe). I didn't do much after that though, since I was told I will have no internet for the next few days...
:(

If anyone is still interested, I can get the more recent version, and the concept up. BTW, it's an anti gravity fighter....

Chirone 12-07-2008 05:18 PM

i'm not seeing any pictures... :confused:

sorry for hi jacking you're thread too :shakehead

Oops...
anyway, I get a more recent screenshot up later (when I installed maya: I moved computers aswell, now at least I got a gig of RAM and 733MHz processor...before it was 300 MHz processor and 300 and something megabyte RAM (4 rigs).)


BTW, to clarify, this is not a good pic at all, just meant to give an idea of what I was building.

Chirone 12-07-2008 05:55 PM

:eek3:
i thought my laptop was bad with just 1.5 GB RAM....

how do you work with such old specs...?

otherwise what you were building looked like it might have been pretty fun to ride in!! :attn:

Joopson 13-07-2008 01:59 AM

Yeah, I'd be too busy right now to continue it in any way. I am working on 3 different things right now, and I'm swamped. But what you made isn't bad at all, and I wish we could have finished this!

amoeba 13-07-2008 07:05 AM

^In my opinion, the first pic is complete crap, it looks better with guns, tubes and other "detail" now. :)

Anyway, are you planing to finish yours? (The scorpion-battle machine)
Would really like to see it if you do! :)

Well, my computer started lagging at around a polycount of 6500 tris.
If I converted a polygon into a subdiv, it already started lagging.
So yeah, I had to put everything heavy on layers.
:eek:
