Hi i got few questions coz i got totally confused.
Ok so i am sopposed to do the bob + contraption right (contraption is abolutely necesary?) So if everybody has to do a contraption for this bob, so why some name their wip “character”, some “character & contraption”. Which one am i sopposed to use? And about the thumbnails, do i have to make one now, or can i make thumb when i will finish the whole model?

Hi Swoma. There are only 3 categories: Characters, Contraptions and 2D. I’ve seen some write in Character/contraption but that would still be in the character category.
If you make a character you DO have to at least hint at a contraption so we have a feeling that something heavy is pulled, pushed or carried.
If you make a contraption ONLY you’ll have to put in some damn fine work since you’re omiting the character. And to make it fit into this theme it needs a harness so it at least looks like it could be pulled/pushed/carried by an animal
The 2D category is a mixed bag of all…if it looks good it’s good

im not sure if its too late but i have almost finshed my character and i still havent posted a sketch due to the fact i have no scanner and i procrastinate, if i get my sketches scanned after i already started my character is it ok??

That’s ok, you don’t need to put up a sketch. It’s just handy.

Hello there
i’m very proud to participate to this challenge, we can see a lot of work from each level user and all are treated at the same way.
BUT … why we can see some works on the enter of the channel…when i go on www.cgtalk.com i can see to thumbnails of works participating to the challenge…
Is this challenge already finished ? the winner is already found…
Damn it’s not a very democratic way . :thumbsdow
(same opinion on the stars voting system, it’s not appropriated for a challenge)
:shame: :shame: :shame:

I must be extreemly stupid. Stop nodding!
I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find the answer - probably overlooked the obvious place where the answer lies.
How do we submit our final images? Just in our own threads or what? And what exactly has to be shown? ie wire frames, bump maps, different views.
Is there a limit to how many different ims we should upload? (by different i mean different angles of the same charcter.)
Sorry if this is answered some place else, this is my first challenge and I’m still finding my way around.
Thanks.

To Zeb and others, the challenges have life in cgtalk also, we used to constantly plug them on cgchannel it’s no difference here, we see something we like that has good flavor and we’ll plug it, I plugged those two pics solely to help new members understand there’s alot of depth to this site… albeit Gallery/Wip/Challenges
As for the star system this was agreed upon, they will be re-envoked the last few days b4 the end of the challenge, because this is when most works should be on the last lap of being finished… Of course is doesn’t make sense during that’s why they’re not enabled.
P.S. in the future if you’re new here please contact me directly on the forum going-ons if you’re unsure about something, as your concerns have been more than likely been resolved.
salud!

“we see something we like”
so don’t tell the challenge a challenge but a wip on same subject and don’t a classement… because look yesterday mandrake take 20 messages in 7 hours… His work is great but this number of reply is completly linked to the advertise on the homepage.
Not a lot of people see the depth of the challende but just this thread …
I think u don’t understand my opinion.
Anyway it’s not so important. I was just surprised.

well of course it’ll result in more views and possibly responses, that’s the point of a plug… and yes I understand your view totally, it’s just not really justified as we did this plenty times in the past… like I said if you’re unsure about anything regarding the forum or how things are run contact me directly…
You must remember this forum and 3Dfestival is all about promoting artists, why should the challengers be excluded?
salud!

Phil & tubby: you don’t have to send your images anywhere, just post your final composition in your thread and I’ll handle the rest, this system is definitely changing for future challenges, as everything will be automated, meaning you’ll be asked to submit your final comps to the “voting bin” 
As for sending me questions, just to clarify, I meant “specific” questions that I can answer, not general ones, that’s why the forums are here… anything you’re unsure of and wish to know the answer right away just send a pm my way…
salud!

Ok I have started on the model – more on that later I probably won’t get it finished in time… Mean while here is the concept art.

Ok, so we dont have to send our final picture anywhere.
What I am not sure about is how many pictures can we have as final composition, and what ressolution should it be. Could I have 3 pictures from diferent angles or should I have one with 3 sections?
Thanx

ooo… I just saw this…
Linking the thread on a front page is not a problem itself…
the problem is…
If I ( or anybody else for that matter ) got any vote purely for
that reason… well … that’s unfair… the challengers should be
equal… just hit my mind … Zeb is right… I almost feel sorry for
getting that link… :shrug:
…aaghh… no I dont … but Zeb is still right…
