I think someone should start one off the bat, no prizes though and just a tick over till a mod gets on the case.

Maybe start to gather a list together of subjects.

Yer a new challenage would be great

I have some ideas

1) Design a villain and place him/her/it in a "heroic" pose and lets get a back story as well - I always see to many hero`s and not enough villains in 3D

2) The desk - Make a desk and items that tells a story of a character with out showing the character (eg a spy will have mission details and gadgets) - but lets ban "3d artiest" straight away

3) Future products - Design a everyday item as if it was built in about 20/30 years.

Yeah I remember the transformers one.


I like the following, villain, future products, spceships, robots, interior shots (or add to it)

What would you guys say to posting that up here (or in the members lounge as I feel it gets more traffic) as a poll so we can get a feel from peeps, choose the most popular (in about a week form posting it) and then stat it up in here and then have a poll for the winner??

Though they wont win anything just get the glory of winning the unofficial challenge??
