PPM W3D Modelling Contest 2010
PPM W3D Modelling Contest 2010
A contest open to any and all to create a .w3d model for Generals/Zero Hour.
NEW DUE DATE: JULY 12th
Rules
A)1 submission per person
B)Submission should include model (w3d format), texture (dds format), additional models and textures (damaged etc), and a scenic ingame screenshot.
C)Model must be of a vehicle, aircraft, or (potentially) a base defense (I figured a base defense is virtually an immobile unit).
D)Submissions must be entered by June 30th, or possibly an extended date, granted there are not enough submissions.
E)Model must meet under the poly limit of 900 triangles maximum.
F)Model must be original work by the author; not ripped or converted etc
G)Submissions are to be sent to Orac. Anonymity does not matter.
Judges
Orac ,Gen.Kenobi, and The-Light are the three judges.
There shall be a panel of three judges (see above) who shall rate the models on a scale of 100 based on several categories, each category shall be out of 20 points. The scores of the judges shall be averaged together to determine the final score.
1-Creativity/Originality
2-Aestetics
3-Function (are the bones properly implimented, turret rotate correctly, treads rotate if there are treads, wheels spin if there are wheels, is the model properly sized compared to other generals vehicles, House color, etc)
4-Textures (Properly applied, detailed, etc)
5-Efficency (Under or over the poly limit)
Prizes
To Be Determined
So there ya go, get started working on those modes![/u][/b]

I might give it a try, if I can find enough time (and patience) to figure out how to set the model for generals... no matter if I have no skills in texturing what-so-ever.
So yeah, time to look at some generals tutorials and see how it goes after that _________________ Check out some TF Kane's Wrath action:

If i can master 3D editing and Renx im in.
Do you want build/display images and/or code examples as well? _________________ Creator of TS:BoB and some other things that might be good when finnished. QUICK_EDIT
It's too bad someone hasnt made a w3d export plugin for Max10 yet other wise I'd be tempted to do this. I'm just not going to install required progs just for this sorry. _________________

I think we need a respectable amount of submissions to have a good contest, and I'd put that around five submissions. So if we need to postpone the due date, how much more time would you need MT (or anyone else who thinks the date is a little *too* short)?
Coding to get the unit ingame would be nice, as it would be the best way to see all the model's features. Maybe a cameo could be considered for a few bonus points.
Orac, you wanna be the initial judge? All submissions to him then. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
I dont know I'll have to think about it. I'm still knee deep into my mod, and plus I owe a few people some favors That I really need to get working on, so chances are no, but maybe. _________________

If you have experience Kanobi then its best you enter, alot of us dont lol.
I could submit a model but I have 0 generals experience, so it would only be a model and textures. Perhaps have a side category for us? QUICK_EDIT

Gen.Kenobi, you're the second judge then. Gendb is invloved if anything by default, because where else are the results gonna be posted
If you little to no experience with the w3d format, send me a pm, and we'll talk about it a little bit. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Sweet, so the final question is, are there any limits for how many models we can submit?
EDIT: Renoticed the 1 submission rule, I retract my question, however suggest maybe allow more or unlimited (if there aren't enough submissions) QUICK_EDIT
@Banshee, done (although I still would like a panel of three judges)
@Rico, I'm not sure. Alot of submissions is good, but 1 person potentially winning 1st 2nd and 3rd isn't _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

It will be done eventually, we've got other pressing concerns. _________________ <center></center> QUICK_EDIT
Well.. A first and second place should be easy to decide on.. Unless there is a really big challenge in deciding which of the two submissions is best.. QUICK_EDIT
Ok guys, due date is tomorrow, so... submit or make your request for an extension now! _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
I said you were, and I said submissions go to Orac, who should then send them to you guys (that being you and the-light).
Problem is, there are only 2 submissions...So anyone who still wants to enter, how much time do you think you need? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Only 2!
Ill enter just for fun! Make things more interesting, but I wont be able to convert it to .w3d or give you a scenic ingame screenshot as I have no clue how to mod generals, and I dont really want to install it too.
All ill submit is the model+textures+damaged model. I dont care if I lose point as im only doing it for fun and I should have it finished by tomorrow. QUICK_EDIT
I see! well I'll texture what I've got. But I'll need to model converting by someone else since I don't think my version of Max supports the converter. QUICK_EDIT
Questions: What size/resolution should the texture sheet be for generals, what color for remap and is remap texture seperate from the diffuse texture QUICK_EDIT
I think it would be best if the due date is pushed so that people can take advantage of this and next weekend, so the new date is Monday the 12th. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
This was the last deliverence day right? Anyway, the next time i'll be online will probably be on thursday, so if i get sent things to judge and don't reply, than that's why, i'll try to check around tomorrow. QUICK_EDIT
