Well then, it is time for me to start a WIP thread and try my hand at this :D

please start a new challenge - i think concept art challenge is goodwhat you think?

There is currently one going on - http://simplymaya.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40039

perhaps its time to change the challenge forum to something a bit more collaborative. After all the industry is all about collaboration.

Solo challenges probably put people off if they are crap at texturing or modelling or lighting.

why not add a rule to allow more than one person per entry.

Just a thought.

Could be right Dom, I think a lot of it has to do with time as well, full times parents/workers etc probably just dont have time in the day, yours truly as an example.

Or there could be donated scenes that people can:

texture
or
light/shade
or
animate
or
run sims/fx

Depending on the challenge. Instead of doing every single thing from scratch.

My first win was a texturing one - Mikey posted up 5/6 models and we had to uv and texture.

Hey what about an animation challenge something short about 10-15 seconds. havent seen that done yet on this website

Yeah do some Anim of sorts...15 - 20 seconds would be better :)

Yer thast be cool - maybe provide a free rig so everyone has the same starting block

most realistic head model!

hi, everyone can u pls help me to improve my skills in making 3D design, but ican't continue my work co'z my persfective view have problem, its look like mottlled

A good challenge for everyone to do...model an everyday object...something real world that you use everyday, from around your home. Takes some photos and model it, and if you can or want to, render a turntable of it. or as suggested collaborate with one other person...
