Vote for the next UGAC

#52

I think it would be best suited to keep the guidlines reasonably loose, to allow for mechanical bugs, or 50 foot tall ones, but not aliens that have multiple limbs or bug like features like the Zerg, or Tyrannids. Bugs that don’t actually exist I think should be cool, I just think it should be somehow worded so that the insects are more set dressing than enemies - to keep it away from being a strictly character driven challenge.

EDIT: Simupost!! I agree Super!

#53

80 voters, how many will participate?

#54

My guess is it will be the usual 30 or so, with an few people who participate for just the one time

Side Note to Bentllama: We know your very busy up at bungie, and many of us would be glad to help you in any way we can
Just ask.

#55

As long as bungie returns the favor in the US currency, a lot of it. :thumbsup:

It looks like Bungie has a bunch of open positions right now… including… lead character animator???

#56

What? Wait
I guess that you misunderstood my comment.
What I was saying was that many of us here would be glad to help with these UGAC’s. I was not implying anything about job posting at bungie

#57

Yeah, I totally did misunderstand. And yeah, many of us would be willing to help with the UGAC.

#59

NEVER MIND THAT, I just did further research and it turns out that he posted a message last Friday! He is just slacking on us!

#60

I’m sure alot of us would also be happy to work at Bungie.

80 votes? Yikes!

Anthropods is a good topic. I reckon we do that and we leave it pretty open to interpretation. And the polycount and texture limits suggested earlier. They sound good.

We could go higher, but then it’s not much of a mini-mini challenge anymore.

#61

Crustaceans? YAY!

That has me excited* :smiley:

*in the pants.

#62

Awww… I wanted bridges!

Oh well, anything is good as long as I get to model stuff!:smiley:

#63

Sea creatures do that to you eh? Would they classify and an insect?

#64

I was thinking we could get two/three concept artists from the other subforum to do us a level concept (one from each of them, so we have 3 to choose from) and have us ugac artists model and texture an environment from that…
since the insect idea has got so popular we should do that for this one and my idea for the next maybe?

#65

GLandolina, that would be a cool way to do it some time, but not show your WIP until the final submission. That would make it a boring one to watch, but fun for those who join in.

#66

I really have a great idea of what insect to model.

Lets get some action started

#67

Yes, I’d say that the winner is clear enough to start this thing running.

#68

Come oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

#69

Actually by the looks of things I will be finishing off my latest character just in time for this to start. Haha, no complaints here.

#70

Ok

So, its decided that Insects will the next subject...
So what does everyone think the tech-specs should be (poly-limit, ect.)

:curious:

#71

Depends what kind on insects, are we doing individual realism, or won’t-kill-your-comp swarms, or huge mechanical, or what?
