PROPOSAL..... 3 SUBFORUMS 1 Common Challenge (DSF,HARDCORE, FXWARS)


#21

Then where does the concept art come in? :sad:

Hehe, just kidding, Roberto. Regardless of which two forums end up participating, I don’t actually think that’s a bad idea. It simplifies everything a WHOLE lot. It might be a much better idea to keep things as simple as possible at first, so that with that experience the challenge can move on to something more complex next time (i.e. the whole ball of wax, with all three forums and dragonslayers, etc. :D).


#22

One challenge I want for TWO forums is to try is the idea of doing something called

:“Animal Kingdom”

or

“Aircraft Carrier”

Animal Kingdom

In “Animal Kingdom” models that would have been done in the Hardcore challenge would be used in a FXwars. The challenge would be to composite & animate in a realitic fashion an animal. (For example Aslan in Narnia)

Aircraft Carrier

People would have to build models from the carrier Enterprise. The Fxwars challenge is to do a realistic renderings of the jets landing and taking off from the carrier at sea.

-What do you guys think?

#23

I like the idea. Animal Kingdom seems like the harder challenge because of the organic nature.


#24

Understand that the service life of the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) spans almost 5 decades and as such, the Enterprise housed a slew of aircraft from different eras. If that’s okay with you it’s okay with me.


#25

That is a good point about its service life.

I am leaning more towards the end service of the Enterprise.
That would allow more modern aircraft like the F-18 hornet, the Sea king, and the F-14 Tomcat to be part of the challenge. But if people want to model an Intruder it would be fine.

And BTW sailors, pilots and flight crew would also be part of the challenge, so there is plenty of types of models for all.

My big requirements would be that:
a) Modeled to scale
b) If the model is going to be shared it can be modeled in any format, but is has to be shared in a yet to be determined format.
c) All modeling has to be research based.
