So lets recap…
Sculpt an original 3d scene scenes based on a classic movie poster[/color]
[color=darkorange][/color]ALL MODELS should be done FROM SCRATCH. No premade (as in before this challenge) base models are allowed.
[color=darkorange]The idea of this “mini-challenge” is to simulate an impossible [/color][color=darkorange]deadline[/color][color=darkorange] for a project. The artists will have at their discretion how detailed the models they will be working on, and the amount of models, and if the models will be shaded and or rigged.
The key is to sculpt good dynamic representations [/color][color=darkorange]the work of the topic at hand.[/color][color=darkorange] A big part of the challenge is that the modeler will have to scavenge all the reference he needs .
Another thing:
[/color]MODELING should be THE KEY POINT for judging final entries, not the shading. [color=darkorange]
But displacement maps are allowed in all models.[/color][color=darkorange][/color]Note :You may shade and texture your model if you wish, but great modeling is what we are looking for…[color=darkorange]
CAN YOU DO IT?
What is the HARDCORE MODELING CHALLENGE?
The idea of these HARDCORE MINI CHALLENGES is to push the modeling skills participants while learning from the past. T o get past preconceptions of the limits of digital art. To push digital artists into the world of sculptors & artisans. But we will have variety on these mini challenges. Sometimes we will sculpt a model based on a masterpiece, but on other times we might do Jet fighter or a landmark…
The only thing that will be consistent is the [/color]SHORT DEADLINES.[color=darkorange]
At the end of the challenge, the participant should have a finished collection of entries. Keep in mind contest of high difficulty you will have [/color]ONE MONTH and TWO WEEKS to do the challenge, but the rewards, even if you don’t win, will be your improved skills in speed and accuracy.[color=darkorange]
