-R

#2

Is the door allowed to be open a fraction to reveal something possibly poking through it?

#3

Hey Roberto!

Nice Topic!

I have just one question. I don´t understand the rule about the “TEMPLATE VIEW”. Could you explain it more in detail?

#4

for one of the render. or maybe the main render use one of the following images as a “template” for one of the renders. It so we could have the option, in the future, to do a medley of renders.
Also One thing that would be cool is to do a 200 Frame Zoom in animation.

Yes you can… have fun.

#6

Can the door be a time portal?

#7

sure why not

#8

Great topic! leaves us with many possibilities.
For the template render, assuming we are allowed to have a character interacting with our door. can they be foreground or background, or is it strict on our added character being beside the door like in the template.

and the zoom animation, are you open to anything dynamic? like the camera panning or tilting as it travels, or even a slow zoom with some animation on the door itself?

Hi Roberto.
Me and my 2 team mates are working on this challenge.
We thought to create Merlin’s library magic door.
Should we post on the wip the concept design? Or should we post some screenshot of what we are working?
Also, can the model for this challenge be textured?
Thank you
Alessia

I have one question which you may already have answered… I just want to make sure: Is this a sculpting challenge? Or can I for example do all of my work in blender/3ds Max without sculpting at all?

Thanks

You don’t have to scuplt if you don’t want to
