Sculpt up to 30 models in 1 month from the provided list.
There are [b]TWO [/b]ways to participate:
[b]Either:[/b]
[ul]
[li]PICK AND CHOOSE: [/li]
You can pick whatever models you wish from the attached list at the end of this post
[li]DAILY MODEL THREAD:[/li]
Wait for a Daily thread called thread called the DAILY MODEL and post on this thread the model selected for that day. NOTE I will only do this if more than 5 people
[li]participate in this type of entry.[/li][/ul]BOTH threads will reference the SAME model list, the intention is to foment modelers to finish the highest number of finished entries.
[b][i][u]THE CHALLENGE:___________________________[/u][/i][/b]
Sculpt up to [b]30 models[/b] in 1 month from the provided list. The idea of this "mini-challenge" is to simulate an impossible dateline for a project. The artists will have at their discretion how detailed the models they will be working on, if the models will be shaded, and the interpretation of what they should be modeling.
For example an entry might call for a [b]duck,[/b] but the artist might sculpt a realistic fully shaded duck or decide to model a more simple toy rubber duck. The key is that the model [b]HAS[/b] to be based on some sort of real life reference.
[u][b]Challenge Levels[/b][/u]
The challenge is divided into three different sections to accomidate people who are busy and people who can't create a model a day. This is also a great idea because hopefully we will see, as more of these challenges are completed, different members progressing through to the [b][u]Platinum[/u] [/b][u]l[/u]evel because they are becoming faster modelers.
[u][b]Silver Challenge[/b]:[/u] [i]This challenge only has [b]10 models[/b] that are required to be completed, giving competitiors 2 days per model.[/i]
[u][b]Gold Challenge:[/b][/u][i] This challenge has [b]20 models[/b] that are required to be completed, giving competitors 1 and a half days per model.[/i]
[u][b]Platinum Challenge:[/b][/u] [i]This challenge has [b]30 models[/b] that are required to be completed, giving competitors 1 day per model.[/i]
[b]CAN YOU DO IT?[/b]
[b][i][u]What is the HARDCORE MODELING CHALLENGE?[/u][/i][/b]
The idea of these HARDCORE MINI CHALLENGES is to push the modeling skills participants while learning from the past. To 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....
[b]The only thing that will be consistent is the SHORT DATELINES.[/b]
[b]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 ONE MONTH to do the challenge, but the rewards, even if you don't win, will be your improved skills in speed and accuracy.[/b]
[b]Note :[color=darkorange]You may shade and texture your model if you wish, but great modeling is what we are looking for. MODELING should be THE KEY POINT for judging final entries, not the shading. Parametric models ARE NOT ALLOWED, but[b] displacement maps are fine in all models.[/b][font=Verdana]
[/font][/color][/b]
[b][i][u]EVALUATION CRITERIA:______________________ [/u][/i][/b]
Detailed [b]RESEARCH[/b], and attention to detail are key for ALL entries. Please before doing an entry do your homework.
