Progressive Challenge: Character modelling (Sep 19 - OCT 2)
-
15 Sep 2005Ok....as discussed in the ...this is going to be week 1 of the progressive challenge.
This week your "challenge" is to design a character (or use someone else's concept art, as long as you give credit), who will then be rigged and animated in the challenge weeks following this one....so that by the end of this progressive challenge you'll have a great animation to show off using a character/rig you made from scratch
Post your wips too....it would be nice if we could all share our secrets/progress so that we all have something cool to "show off" by the end of this challenge.
Anyways....so this week (ending a week from this coming Monday...ie ending September 26) it's your job to model your character.
NOTE: It does not have to be deformable! Robots or inanimate objects are definitely allowed! So don't be discouraged if you don't have enough time for a super complex, fully deformable character! Your entry will definitely still be legit either way.
Anyways....start your thread with the title:
PC-modelling: Your Name
...and then get to work! -
Toni 65 posts15 Sep 2005Ah Golly, when i read 'PC' modeling i was like yay i can enter, untill i actually started reading the post
i never gotten into the animation part, im more like a still life modeler i guess
but i must say that your short movies for the challenges inspire me to start learning about animation, so i wish you gentleman the best of luck and im really looking forward to kickin' your ass' in the future

15 Sep 2005Toni Mate, I have the same thoughts of myself about the still image modelling. These kinds of challenges at least give me a little exposure into the animation field and it feels good.
I would love to see you enter, even if its only for the first two sections (Modelling + Texturing), and then see how you go from there. -
16 Sep 2005Hey man....if you just want to enter the first 2 sections (ie...modelling/texturing) then cool! Go for it! As I mentioned there will be voting at the end of each "milestone" (ie, modelling, texturing, rigging, animating)....so you still have a good chance at taking gold in at least 2 areas

16 Sep 2005Heh - this is like the Olympics... there is nothing 'mini' about this challenge

22 Sep 2005"NOTE: It does not have to be deformable!"
------- what do u mean by it? can;t i model funny cartoon human character?
i want to be in.but i m not getting some rules.can u plz explain?
does character suppoese to be robotic? -
22 Sep 2005No... that states that it is not neccesary for the animation to be deformable.
It means you are definately more than welcome to do a cartoon character. The rules, at the moment are just guidelines. As long as you create some kind of character for this contest, and split the creation into four parts (mod,tex,rig,anim) then you'll be sweet.
Good to see you in Jigu. -

30 Sep 2005CHALLENGE EXTENDED UNTIL MONDAY
Sorry Ben...I know you've got your entry all finished up and what-not....but a couple others of us have had things come up in the last couple of days and it wouldn't be too fair if you were the only entry.....so the contest is open for the remainder of the weekend and all of Monday.
That being said....unless bombs go off and destroy our computers or something....THE CHALLENGE ENDS MONDAY NIGHT (whatever time you're at...I don't care....so long as it's not Tuesday morning because that's when I make the thread for the next part of the progressive challenge)
KEEP ON MODELLIN!! -

01 Oct 2005Not acceptable ridestowe. We give you permission to take back your computer off your parents. They can talk to me if they have an quibbles.

02 Oct 2005They took away your computer?
You must have robbed a bank or something!...speaking of which....you owe me a cut of the money
All jokes aside though.....luckily you got your modelling done....which means you are still "in the challenge" (not that we were going to kick you out or anything ) -
03 Oct 2005Voting thread (as well as commencement of texturing phase) goes up tommorow!!!!!!
Just so we can all milk our time as much as possible....I'll be putting it up sometime in the evening.....so keep chuggin until then!!
