BATTLE REQUEST

To: A No0b

Subject: Favorite Candy

Requirements: MODELED ON YOUR OWN, TEXTURED!

Time Limit: 2 WEEKS FROM THE CREATION OF THE BATTLE THREAD AFTER SOMEONE REPLIES

Anyone up to it?

Cheers,
Andy:beer:

YO Joopson i will challenge you pal :)

so i have to wait 2 weeks??? to start......

Battle Request
 

TO: a maya user of intermediate skill

Subject: Architectural/ Room design... etc.

Goal: To create a photorealistic interior scene that looks like the awesome VRay renders those Maxers do. But it has to be done all inside Mental Ray

Time Limit: 4 Weeks (countdown starts when the battle thread is created and the opposer replies)

Requirements: You have to do all of the modeling and texturing on your own. No downloading objects and using them. AND NO CONVERSION TO 3DS MAX TO RENDER!!!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD BE CHEATING!!!! The whole point is to acheive that effect with Mental Ray in Maya.

Limits: Hey, if your computer doesnt crash, its fine.

Textures: As many as you like, just keep in mind that the more textures you have and the higher their resolutions, that means that the amount of RAM it takes during render is higher.

I am saying all this stuff about crashing and ram because most people dont have like 2-4 gb of ram and many of these super photorealistic renders take hours to render and have a nasty tendancy to crash. Just a precaution.

Anyway, thats my request, so pleez respond soon.

cYa LaTeR,
MaTt :alien:

yo matt im in bro :D:beer: :attn:

Alright then!
So I will create the thread for the interior scene

Create a monster
 

BATTLE REQUEST

To: anyone

Subject: low-poly Monster

Requirements: concept is by you.....MODELED ON YOUR OWN, doesnt need texture!

Time Limit: 2 WEEKS FROM THE CREATION OF THE BATTLE THREAD AFTER SOMEONE REPLIES

Anyone up to it?

Cheers,:beer:
Andy

I think I'll go for it. I've never modeled anything organic, so I think this is a good chance for me to practice :)

ok! i'll make the thread

How about this:

To anyone Moderate-advanced at modeling

Subject: Photorealistic Car

Modeling- Preferably Polys, but if you really want to do it in NURBS go ahead

PolyCount- Try to keep it under 1,000,000,000,000,000 tris :D :p

Time limit- when someone replies, I will create a thread and we wll start then- and the limit would be a month.

Anyone up for it?

No one?

lol, i suck at that, but if your desperate i can try, but its your choice, being that i have been in a fair amount of contests with you, and its kinda annoying having the same person contest you each time, lol.... your choice.....

Would do mate but i'm pushed for time at the moment, end of may I will be up for a battle

sorry joopson- no offence...

Ok well this just gives me more time to work on my raytracer so w.e

CAR???
 

I wouldnt mind doing this...just that Im in a gazillion other competitions, and Im lucky to finish any...lol

A photorealistic fantasy vehicle(or concept vehicle) would be more interesting...no?:eek:

yeah... I think that I would like to eat my words now, b/c I really want to have time to do my raytracer, and i cant have 2 projects going at once b/c I wont finish either.

sorry 'bout that, peeps.

Challenge Request-

To: Anyone

Topic: Photorealistic Inorganic Object

Modeling: Any method

Max Polys: 1919387410923894710293847 :D :p

Time: 2 weeks

Renderer: Any (Mental Ray, Maxwell, Indigo :p, VRay)

Modeling Prog: Any (Maya, 3ds Max, Lightwave, Silo... etc)

nobody up for it? :(

here is a question, by inorganic do you mean human made things???

i mean not alive. a rock is inorganic (but boring to model and texture :p)

if you want i can try, but as i said before, we have competitions alot, so its annoying to be competitive with the same person., but still... its your choice.. i personally dont care what you say, yes or no, because i am just bored and want to waste time, lol

ok sure I will do it.

I'll make the challenge thread. If you want, you can render in Ingido, gives great results easy, and my script works (I'm actually adding support for meshlights and physical sky now)

but if I were you I'd use Maxwell. I'm gonna get it soon because of the amazing results that Maxwell users are getting, and, in particular- I LOVE this one-

by Thomas An from the Maxwell forums

wow, yes, maxwell does get very good results... ok, this challenge should be fun!

Monster or Undead contest!
 

ok, challenge!!!!!!

That maxwell render is awsome! Too bad Tomas chose to model 'CHEAP' speaker clips on that audio component, and no digital output for a external D/A converter either.
