Title: We need some more fun around here!
Post by: -Archmage- on 4 February 2010, 12:31:20

I propose an animation contest, maybe something else too, but I can see why people don't come on the forums much...

competitions would add some fun around here. We could have animation, fan art, and modeling contests.

I already have some animations I could submit, but I would like to work a bit more and get a whole set of anims done.

You don't have to be an animator to judge the quality of animation unless you're judging on a technical basis.

Community scoring would be best. Something like worth1000 where applicants are unidentified until the end, so you can't downvote someone by identity instead of skill.

No I am a fair person, but yes a community vote would be better. First we need to come up with some kind of plan.

First a modleing contest then animating that model, What kind of model do we want to make?

Well I'm not going to texture anything!
I'm horrible at texturing!
Let's just do modeling and animation...

Title: Re: We need some more fun around here!

first a model (TEXTUREING IT TOO!), then an anim. I say a animal of some sort.

I'll just skip the texturing part, actually maybe it would be better if this were done is teams of two or something, because I can't texture for crap, and I have a feeling if teams were done, it would help make up for peoples weak areas, it would also make the contest more interesting.

One way to vote would be to code a webpage so that it reads the entries from an XML, keeping them all anonymous, it would allow voting on a 1-5 scale, then average everything. I don't see how a community vote would work on this boards because there's no real way to anonymously post except to make a new account...

Use a proxy server.

Post by: -Archmage- on 14 February 2010, 01:51:19

Sorry, I really have no clue what a proxy server is.......
I have Tor, but it doesn't work.....

A proxy sever changes your IP wen you go through it, What is a Tor?

It's an anonymity program for your Web Browser. ;D
Protects you from being tracked and traced by anyone.....as far as I know........

I don't care, you guys rate my anims for what they are, if you hate me, the disassociate me and my anims in your head. :P
