No procedural materials allowed.[/list][/list] [list][highlight]Final submission posts must at least consist of:[/highlight] [list][b]A render/screenshot of your textured model:[/b] Must be well set out and display your finished [u]textured[/u] model. The size of the final render depends on you (as long as it's over 800x600) but please keep in mind that if the picture is large, use [noparse][img_thumb][/img_thumb][/noparse] to keep it from stretching the page. [*] [b]Texture map previews and a note of their dimensions:[/b] Please keep them at their original resolution, just watermark them if you must.

Reminds me of the flying things challenge from a few years ago. That was funny. I'll enter if I think of anything good. [editline]02:37AM[/editline] 12,000 holy hell

The deadline is wrong, it should be December 23. Good luck to the FP modellers.

Nice to see the tri limit was raised.

Hey, I've finally got a break from classes! You know what that means? [img]http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/goclaygo/scaryblackdude.jpg[/img]

should I extend this over to the winter break? ( I just realised)

When I saw the theme of this contest I was very happy. I just started working on this about and hour ago when i saw the post. Im not sure if this will be my final thing to enter for I think I want to do some kind of war car. But for now this is what I have [media]http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/9368/render.png[/media]

I fixed the format, in future, please use the same format of announcing the competition. And I don't really see the point of giving us 12,000 triangles and then 2x 1024 texture space. I would have gone for 3 at least.

I do not see the ending date for entries.

[QUOTE=duno;19003173]12,000 isn't that much for something as large as a vehicle In estimation, trianges = polygons x 2[/QUOTE] No I think those are just tri counts on the wiki

damn, I was trying to get a banner of the previous winner tradition started

Duno, god damnit

[QUOTE=x-quake;19004643]I do not see the ending date for entries.[/QUOTE] Sorry, forgot that out when editing his post.

This will be one hard contest, a bit restricted too.. I will still try to enter but I expect many people won't even try..

I don't have time unless I take part with the pirate ship I'm making for our game. :v: It's gonna be a lot more than that though. I've always wanted to make a 30's ganster car too...

I've got to finish my New Years stuff. If I am able to finish it with time left, I might make something for this contest. Otherwise, I still have work to do.

Big update on mine. [media]http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7449/renderf.png[/media] I have a bunch of errors that I need to fix however.

Gonna make something for this one. Although i'm torn between two equally hard designs, i'll go with the less original one.

since cars are tough, anyone want to extend this competition to the end of spring break?

[QUOTE=duno;19020690]since cars are tough, anyone want to extend this competition to the end of spring break?[/QUOTE] When is your spring break? Mine is super far away. Also cars are not tough they just seem like they would be. I find modeling a car is much easier than anything else.

spring break end is 3 weeks from now

If you extend it like that, maybe a few more polygons or maps? Two texture maps is a bit low...

12,000 is probably enough with 4 x 1024 maps

Yeah, I guess so. More maps would be nice. :dance:

Almost done with the modeling. Bunch of errors to fix. What is going to be a bitch to do is make all the bump maps. [media]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8680/renderty.png[/media]

Gordo is entering=no contest. But try anyway!

[QUOTE=laptopman;19027164]Gordo is entering=no contest. But try anyway![/QUOTE] why, is he good?

[QUOTE=laptopman;19027164]Gordo is entering=no contest. But try anyway![/QUOTE] It is these kind of statements which suppress people's creativity. Yes, Gordo is good, but that does not mean other people cannot try as well -- especially if to better themselves.
