My question isâŠCan there be crew or workers upon the vessel??? My assumptions are that the crew are helping the vessel along, they are not part of the 4. So can I have a crew to help the vessel goâŠyou know more than 10 characters???..Thanks for any helpâŠ

Challenge issues resolved in this thread
As long as the crew is not in the vessel when it takes offâŠ
Any more questions? Bring it on!! 
Wiro
PS: feel free to make 10 crewmembers but remember that you should have time to have some sort of flying vehicle within this month too 
Thanks very much WiroâŠIâll have to revise my initial thoughts a bit, but should get my plans to work none the lessâŠAnd yes Iâ'll get a flying vessel/contraption to go along with the characters as wellâŠsomehowâŠ

So the idea of a âJunk yard warsâ thing is ok. eg. Taking a John Deer and kiting it out to fly. I understand it has to look home built, but some of the vehicles made on that show look pretty impressive. So basically, can we put together a piecemeal contraption made up of factory made âpartsâ but do not come constructed as a whole?
Also what are the rules for the 2d challenge on using 3d renders composited into the image? eg. backgrounds, pyrotechnics etc.
Thx for the info.
Ciao!

Just curious, I am in the process of designing my thingy, and I realize that I have a few areas that will be comprised of glass. Are making objects transparent allowed?? (please, for the love of Kentuky, let transparencies be allowed )
Just curious, thanks
:wavey:
:wavey: So. does this mean my spider as the pilot of an airplane made of maple seed wings and a dandelion fuselage is okay?

umm thatâs a bit elaborate, donât worry yourself over making a full fledge scene, thatâs not what weâre after, concentrate at the task at hand, then when thatâs done you can go wild on the scene when the challenge is overâŠ
Apt Pupil: of course transparencies are allowed itâs not a texture
just donât add any reflection maps or something like that, just make it evident itâs glass
zenzmurfy uh yeh :curious: heh

I donât know yet if I can find the time, but would it be okay to enter with two things?
I thought to start a new thread then and call it
âAbove & Beyond - 2D - jeroentje (2nd entrie)â
Would that be okay?
But must finish first one first 
jeroentje
In past challenges collaborations were allowed⊠is that true for this one too?
I donât have time to enter on my own⊠but i might re-consider if we can collaborate.
Cheers LilâD 
jeroentje: of course you can, providing you have the time 
Krugar: yup yup, for instance one person can model the character and the other the flying machine
have fun, but make sure you put the collaboration text in your thread title, along with the names who youâre collaborating withâŠ

this message is for the moderatorâŠi donât know if itâs lildragonâŠ
my thread is
and i already had a page 3, with pictures and some replys from the guysâŠbut now that 3rd page is gone. What happened?
Does anyone knows? should i post my pics again? can that be ârepairedâ ?

Can the contraption be kind of parasite? I mean, a home-made something connected on a flying thing totally not homemade, like a Boeing 747?
(ing ing ing:insane: )
tx guysâŠ
tubby: yep it sure was that! well i just posted the pics again
lildragon: tx ![]()
sometimes sh*t happens!
Hi lildragon, I was curious about the status of the Challenge website and the voting for the July challenge (not that I finished my piece, poor looser that I am).
I realize that you people have a lot on your minds and I donât wanna sound pushy. I havenât heard about it for a while, so I was just curiousâŠ
Cheers, jeroentje 
Yeh jeez, I was meaning to give you guys an update DâOH! >_<!! sorry about thatâŠ
The challenge site is on the roll, the concepts are finished, I just have to keep on Leoâs back to get the beta version out, the first iteration wonât be complete, but you should be able to vote on the pass challenge and this one (god willing) SO I know itâs late but having busy lives and such doesnât help the cause hehe, rest assure it IS coming this monthâŠ
salud!
Just wondering if there is a thumbnail page for this challenge? if so I donât see itâŠ
Or are we not doing that this time like we did for BoB challenge�
