FXWars! Winter Kingdoms 3DsT FREEFORM

#7

we made a new storyboard.
I’m not sure we’ll finish it in time, but even if it would be later, we’ll continue to show you our work in progress.

and a new picture about our wip

#8

looking good! Wished i could join you guys. :slight_smile:

Nice storyboards! Did you draw them?

#9

That’s an enormous undertaking… 8-O

Z-brush model looks awesome, though.

no, i didn’t. It’s my friend Vincent Grieu raistlin5 (French guy) Btw, he’s working on the last model as well.

I know… :rolleyes: lol

#11

and now some pictures about the castle

While everything looks fantastic, I think this might be missing the point of the competition.

This is supposed to be an establishing shot not a full action sequence.

By throwing in all of these other items, it is changing the scope of the entry. I am not sure if that is good or bad thing, I just think that if you continue on this path, you might put others at a disadvantage because we may be overwhelmed by the pretty stuff happening and all others are doing the simple establishing shot as required.

I have been working myself on this for some time although I have not posted an official thread yet (struggling with Realflow). So I am speaking from a fellow competitor viewpoint.

Just my two cents,

Wade

Well, I’m pretty sure “too much material” won’t get anyone disqualified. :slight_smile:

#14

don’t worry Wade, I’m not sure we ll finish it in time.
We will have so many frames and passes to render :banghead:

#15

How much time you need?

#16

The brings up another question. I can’t remember what’s the deadline for this thing?

#17

we would like to finish it for the end of February.

I think we will have between 15K and 20K frames/passes to render :buttrock:

#18

I’m not sure what the deadline for this one is but I thought it was Jan 12?

#19

January 26th.

But I still think you need like, October to finish that project. :wink:

#20

lol.

I really hope we ll finish it earlier.:rolleyes:

some new pictures

#21

Nice sketches. Looking good! Even if you can’t finish it by the deadline, I would like to see it continued and finished. =)

#22

Well, so far it’s the best art directed FXWars project I’ve seen!

#23

thx. I hate if it isn’t.

you will :wink:

#24

Ok how about an extra week holycause?
Would that help?

-R

#25

Thanks Roberto, but it would not be fair for the others.

And even a week would not be enough.

But I was wondering if it could be possible to move the topic into the WIP/Animation forum when the challenge finish?

#26

holycause: good idea. That way we can encourage people to keep working on. Even then we can have a WIP comments and grading session.
