Modeling Contest

[Deleted member 126647]

Well, who would be interested in a modeling contest?

 

[Mechanical Man]

What it would be about?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

That would be decided if enough would be interested to take part, but I suppose I would get a friend to make a nice concept for us, and see who can make the best model based upon this.

 

[camel's_hump]

I would only join if we were modeling something fun.

No dwarves <_<

 

[Mechanical Man]

The model will require custom skin, too?

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I was thinking just a model, untextured, with a set polycount limit, and the final images should include a render or some kind, a few wireframe shots, and possibly a posed shot.

So just a mesh, no animations or texture. Just for the first contest anyway. If it becomes strangely popular, then we might kick it up a notch.

Yea well if your gonna make a modeling contest, maybe a mdl editing contest? Since just about everyone could edit some model using VertexModifer.

 

[camel's_hump]

.Mdl editing requires zero skill. I mean, even Bob can use the vertex modifier!

Exactly! So thats why it would be popular with all the lazy people, like me!

Well Milkshape and gmax users don't got render abilities. But I would still be up for it. Just do a simple idea I already made my suggestions on the last post.

 

[TDR]

well get blender and render with it. or also model with it, it's better than gmax.

Terrain modeling, though then you'd have to take a screen, and let people judge from it

 

[Mr. Clean]

I wouldn't take part in the contest but I do have a weird idea for you in terms of a theme.
-Theme: Video games. When you really think about, you rarely see many models based off of other games (there are some here, but overall, the group is under represented in the modding community. You could even make sub categories based on what genre the game that inspired the model is in.

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

That would limit creativity.

A reptile concept (snikes, lizards, dragons, dinosaurs, random reptile things) would be interesting concept since most people can modle a good humonid but not a good reptile and also the creator can make the reptile look pretty much how he wants as long as it looks like a reptile.

But who am I to talk I suck at modles or I would have made some. . .

 

[Kimbo]

there is already enough lizard stuff and i already do too much lizardy stuff..why dont we model our pets? or something...

 

[Xlightscreen]

well get blender and render with it. or also model with it, it's better than gmax.

I used blender before and it would be a good tool if not for its horrible interface. If anything just use the warcraft 3 render(which isn't much but still a render).

As for concepts...gladator anybody?

 

[Killer_Mushroom]

Swamp beasts?

 

[Xlightscreen]

Jackalopes!

 

[Kimbo]

Why not a drop bear?

 

[Dr Super Good]

How about modern buildings since thats something there is not many of next to basic box like buildings or RDZ's series is modern style buildings.

People could try to make buildings with modernish architexture but still have the freedom of their own choice how they want their modle to look.

 

[Kimbo]

Buildings dont really give much creativity at all, and they are VERY simple.

 

[Xlightscreen]

Well if you have a poly limit on buildings yea. but it dosen't have to be a skyscraper it could be a temple or a church we could also place the theme in between a certain point in time such as roman or medevil times.

 

[Kimbo]

i hate buildings, simplly extrude some shapes and bleh.

i suggest something more creative...but iv ran outta ideas.

 

[JarrardKO]

How about animal people.
