Battle Request

To: Anyone
Topic: Female Body
Modeling Type: whatever - I am using mainly polys but maybe nurbs to get basic shape.
Textures: No - I don't have time
Must show refs and quite a few screenshots
Time Limit: 1 month - sorry guys , just that im going to struggle finishing as it is - but if we are both there or there abouts then cool!

Rules - I created a female body last week but rushed through it so wanted to better it - now this is a big project so: This sounds silly but I really want to concentrate on the body only - no head as yet as I really wont have the time, but maybe we can add as we go? The female needs to be curvy. She can have either bare feet , boots or shoes. She may have a dress (no cloth used) and may have a top but the body must been seen. The final overall body should be quite sensual / sexy.

Hands or gloves can be used

Battle Request

To: anyone that want to practice their animation skills

Topic: Animating a 10second audio clip from the 10secondclub animation group for the month of April

Models: You can use your own, or a pre-modeled/rigged character.

Textures: None, concentration and emphasis should be placed in the animation.

Resolution: 320x240 Mpeg1 for wider viewing audiance

Time Limit: 1 month, the end of April.

Rules: Ok, I'm hoping the next audio clip from www.10secondclub.org for April will be a good one to animate to. It's not out yet, but in a couple of days we'll see what it is. We should show progress of our animation, and any animation tecnique you like is all good. Remember, This battle is for great character animation. pre-built models/rigs recommended as it will give you more time to concentrate on the animation as well. I can post the link to the audio clip as soon as it becomes available.... Let's get ready to ruuuuummmmble! user added image


God Bless you and 3D

sure thing T

Well I would like to get as much done as possible..so how bout this... The minimum is the body/legs and arms, either feet or boots and hands or gloves?

If we have time for a head we shall do it?

How about as It wouldnt be fair for a mod to judge then we just stick a poll on this one?

so...you up for it?
