Every character based challenge should be about "character". When the challenge has a fantasy/sci fi based theme you will always see spaceships, aliens, mechs, women, robots. Thats not to say good stuff isn't made, but it's all too common. Now a sci fi/fantasy related model with something unique about it (i.e. Kurts frog) is interesting but usually its the same old.Originally posted by THX1138
The science fiction fantasy character idea is not about vehicles, objects or half naked women, its about character. Don't know why people are making the idea out to be about as such.
I don't think people enter the competititions with the intention of not finishing it (myself included). People work, life gets in our way, etc etc. You cant 'force' somebody to finish their entry. As previously said, they're work is not judged and it is only the're own time that they have wasted.Originally posted by THX1138
I personally feel that if you cant finish a entry by deadline, don't enter it. Why enter something and submit it half finished? It doesn't make any sence.
it's been done, check Mike's site for his oneOriginally posted by utpal
well, i've got an idea that will include both realism, as in having to make something that you see every day, and will have to try to stick as closely to as possible.... and character as well, cause making a character and making it look alive, that's really the challenge of maya....
how about model your own self?
actaully i am being sneaky, cause i already got my head made:p
but, i won't be entering, and i would really love to see what everybody over here looks like in real life...
or maybe, it could be something like "how you percieve yourself in your imagination"??
should be based upon your own self, but, you could go really out and out with it and make it something crazy and fun???
what say...
That's EXACTLY what I meant! i couldn't of put it better myself!I think what Alan mean is when you make somthing up there is no refrence of measure. So you can say whatever you want about the model and no one can argue about it. Whereas if you model, texture and render say, digital camera or a VCR or whatever you can look at it as really tell if its correct.
