Good idea but I think we need a peice of concept art or at least a theme to work from.

Its easier to model from a good concept art. It is easier to judge which model is best if they are all based on a single concept. After all we are competing modeling skills not imagination skills.

EDIT: I forgot, we're going to need a rough poly count as well to make sure someone is not using twice as many and therefore having a much better looking model. I wud suggest 800 polies is a good Glest amount.

Ok Ill post a pic.

first vote on what kind of model you want to make.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #3 on:** 8 February 2010, 20:03:08 »

Yes.
Not something super hard, I have other things to do.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #4 on:** 9 February 2010, 12:28:05 »

I can model texture and animate.

In-fact right now I'm helping your brother with his animation.

ElimiNator · « **Reply #5 on:** 9 February 2010, 16:39:50 »

Um he didn't say you don't know how to animate, and you are just telling me how you do it, also you are always saying you don't know how to texture.

tiger · « **Reply #6 on:** 9 February 2010, 16:51:34 »

when you draw textures are they one pure color?
all textures I make now are computer drawn.
The best program to use to do texturing is gimp on linux.
you can render all kinds of cool stuff.
you should try it......

-Archmage- · « **Reply #7 on:** 9 February 2010, 16:59:28 »

I use GIMP already, yes it is a good program!

I can texture but I am crappy at it.

You'll have to help me there, because I've never seen any 3D stuff in GIMP...

Ok every one sine up saying you want to enter, and re-vote I remove the options no one picked.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #11 on:** 12 February 2010, 13:41:53 »

I really don't care about modeling and texturing, my joy is animating!
Don't expect me to model anything, I've got plenty of models that need work.

ElimiNator · « **Reply #12 on:** 12 February 2010, 17:07:56 »

Do you realy know how to modle from scratch?

-Archmage- · « **Reply #13 on:** 12 February 2010, 20:31:18 »

For the last time, I can model, yes I can model from scratch.

All I want to take part in is an animation contest.

I'm signing up, but I'm all for Humanoid models, because other people are afraid to animate them, good thing for me though, humanoid models are more fun!

ElimiNator · « **Reply #17 on:** 14 February 2010, 06:19:16 »

Cool! now it looks like animal and humanoid models are tied. (And should the model get a higher score if the verticy count is low?)

-Archmage- · « **Reply #18 on:** 14 February 2010, 06:36:23 »

No way man, it doesn't matter how many vertices you use, as long as it runs ok in Glest!
Frames? I'd say 16 max.

Scenariole · « **Reply #19 on:** 14 February 2010, 09:25:25 »

Does anyone need a concept? Or could I be the one drawing the concept for the contest? Id be glad if you guys needed one...

ElimiNator · « **Reply #20 on:** 14 February 2010, 23:13:29 »

You can draw the consept art for the model we are going to make afer th vote, ok?

-Archmage- · « **Reply #21 on:** 14 February 2010, 23:38:49 »

Hey how about this:

After the modeling contest, the best model is picked out, and then everyone tries to texture the best model, after all that, you pick the best texture and everybody tries to animate it!

That way those of us who only wish to animate can do so, and also, this is probably a better way of doing it overall.

Scenariole · « **Reply #22 on:** 15 February 2010, 04:44:15 »

ok, finish the vote give me an idea, ill draw it good from front view and you guys will have to try to model it. And since this is a competition, my drawing will NOT be a blueprint but a front view of the model, this makes things more interesting and more challenging

ElimiNator · « **Reply #23 on:** 15 February 2010, 04:55:40 »

Ok its going to be a human, every one post what type of human. Like roman, gunners, natives, ect.

Yes thats how it will be (I wish you luck on the textureing.).

I also think that three separate ratings should be used so we can have the best modeler, the best texturer, and the best animator.
First everyone(who wants to) submits models through PM to Elim, then everyone give each model ratings, whichever model wins everyone tries to texture, and the person that has the best model is revealed and given some sort of prize!
Then the textures are rated and the best one gets used, and the creator gets rewarded.
Lastly, everyone rigs and animates the model(we'll have to choose what type of animation, I have some ideas.....), and everyone rates the animation and a prize is given out to the best animator!

Poll
