Hello Blendimation
Members!
Now is time to start pouring in ideas for the next 2 (or more)
contests.
Yes, I said two!!! I might
even run more...
hmmm...
The first one will be (as mentioned in the forum) for Independence
day in my country. That one is set in stone, and details will very
soon be up.
The second one however, will have the theme
miscellaneous (may change in
future).
Also, it will be open to
ALL 3D
programs. The main idea here, will be the use of special
features. In this one, as suggested by Steven (hey bud!) the
contest will have two categories, video, and still.
Some features I will look
for:
- Use of SSS (Sub-surface scattering); If you're renderer doesn't
have it, grab one that does, like Blender : Render
- Use of materials (multiple materials) and UV mapping (rendered
of course)
- Use of fine detail. (I will pick judges for this)
- Use of Boolean functions (optional)
In the video category:
- Proper rigging, and possibly a walk cycle
- Multiple yet odd limbs, or a single limb; Both accomplishing an
unusual form of locomotion
In both categories, I'll be
looking for:
- Proper use of lighting
- Interesting lighting effects
- Use of built in pre/post-processing
- Use of lens flares (Halos)
- More to come!
Prizes.
For prizes, I am working on something. I really want to give you
something back for your hard work, even if it's something
immaterial, like a piece of software. This is one of the areas
where your assistance is so much needed.
That's it!
Remember that you can also suggest your own contest and/or category
in the forum, or by sending me an email
rolandixor@hotmail.com
(
non-members can also do
this).
Have fun!!!
