This month's Challenge is entitled "Awkward Moments" - Awkward Moments - Please choose a topic from one of the three below and take the idea from start to finish. A) Character tries to access a bank machine and it misbehaves [please use this syntax: Bank machine] b) Character tries to use a restroom and can't [please use this syntax: Restroom] c) Character takes on a profession as a mover and has to move an awkward object [please use this syntax: Mover] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Here are the final rules for the Awkward Moments Animation challenge 1) no textures please, use flat colors, the focus is animation 2) you are required to build your own rig, try not to use a rig that's not your own, this is why the challenges will help you in that area. 3) All animations should be 320x240 or less, please no bigger 4) quicktime with sorenson 3 a must (sorenson 3 codec should be free within the quicktime install) 5) please use a static camera 6) your animations can be up to 15 seconds maximum 7) sectional geometry is a must, (this will level the playing field if you choose to use a high or low poly model, and it will also eliminate the need for envelopes) 8) default 3pt lighting is a must, only the key light needs to cast a shadow 9) no audio should be used in your animations 10) basic geometry (optional) 11) no blendshapes/morph targets/or deformations 12) To avoid server bandwith issues please keep your test animations below the 150K anything above this is problematic (this of course applies only to those people that will be uploading their WIP to our servers) ============================================== The Challenge starts November 4th, 2002 and will run until December 8th, 2002 Midnight GMT ============================================== additional notes: 3D - Please provide some form of a storyboard, doodles are fine. Remember that this is a WIP challenge, so it is a requirement to show the steps you used, and help out as much as you can, of course you're not obligated to, but it will help those that need it greatly. There are however some restrictions to prevent unnecessary issues:
========== ---------------------------------------------------------- When you begin a new thread please use the following syntax Awkward Moments - [one of the 3 choices] - [your name] so for example Awkward Moments - Mover - lildragon And that's it, Now on with the show ![]() __________________
