Weekly Challenge?

[Groen]

Hi.
It seems most users are not active. Either intimidated by the great talent here, or just too busy to bother posting.
Either way. Lets get a challenge rolling.
Even if just 2 compete. It has to start somewhere. Pity the festive challenge bombed out.

Any ideas?

[transitoryspace]

i would love a challenge
Wayne please lets get one going.

There are lots of lurkers out there...just post... lets hear your ideas and comments

[VexX_81]

movie monsters or 80's cartoons?...lol

[transitoryspace]

80s cartoons sounds nice!

[Shawry]

I agree, im up for a 80's cartoon.. though i won't have alot of time, but i'll participate.

[Groen]

Im game.

What are the rules? Or do we wait for an admin?

my suggestions :
1) Post WIP
2)Post end Result

Will a week be enough time?

[lovingsaskia]

At the moment at least I'd suggest come up with a set of rules yourselves, its for fun after all., it may even be a way ahead for the challenge area. Come up with a set of rules that everyone agrees with plus times, myself or other mods/admins will stay out of it unless either asked for help or we think that there are problems that need for us to do so.

ok cool dude.
My suggestions.

Mudbox to be used for texturing and sculpting.

Other 3rd party apps such as maya,max or xsi may be used for base mesh creation and rendering.

Time limit : 2 weeks

Post WIP thread to show progress

Can reuse old base mesh. (PS. i dont have one and will need to build one from scratch)


Thats my 2 cents. Agree or not, please post so we can get it rolling.

I agree, but I'd favor no old base meshes. Everything from scratch in 2 weeks time

Would I be pushing it if I said no Simpson's?
Its started in 1989 so technically it is an 80's cartoon, but the fact that it still comes on prime time television doesn't sit well with my idea of 80's cartoons.

[Groen]

ok no old base mesh. simpsons? i dont mind, if we do this i was thinking i will go for dinoriders

[Shawry]

im fine with all that.. whens the start date?

[transitoryspace]

Well if Mods/Admin werent going to do it. I did.
There you go!.

Also if many people have a problem with a certain rule/guideline lets chat over here and we can change it accordingly.
Admins/Modes can you sticky that new thread i made.

Thanks enjoy all. Cant wait to see results.

Hi.
Sounds good. Though i dont think i can make a turn table video in mudbox. May i use my 3rd party app to make the turn table?
