Another 3D Battle - ideas

[TheHush]

Hey people,
I was looking at the old 3d battle threads, which were pretty interesting by the way, and I'd like to possibly start another one? I need some sort of sprak to work on my 3d skills, so how about some ideas people?

I was thinking of a city scene? Maybe New York? Or possibly Baghdad? Something intreseting.

[hybrid101]

it would be very difficult...anyway, wish people would join this, would look forward to their entries!

[Bokke]

Sounds kool! :}
But I wont join becouse Im just too buzzy at the moment...

[kiwee]

I would Join if we are allowed to do any city. It would be boring if it was all the same city.

[TheHush]

Yeah what do you guys want to do? Any city?

[kiwee]

yeah.

[TheHush]

Alright well let's get some more people to join?

[ar]

I'm definately in :D.

GBP

[kiwee]

yay! Es is joining :D

Can I start?

[ar]

I'll be working on an adobe hut city. And Kiwee, go ahead and start :D!

GBP

[eilsoe]

hmmmmm... sounds interesting...

[TheHush]

Interesting indeed. Anything specs guys? Or should we just keep it, city scene?

[ar]

Modeling an actual city would take some time. Any more ideas?

GBP

[TheHush]

I was thinking more of just a street or something. But how about a castle or something? Medieval scenery?

[ar]

How about just any scenery goes, just something that has good concept, and good meaning.

GBP

[TheHush]

Yeah how about we have to include maybe 1 or 2 buildings/shelters of some sort.

[ar]

Perfect :D!

GBP

[ar]

No one's interested?

GBP

[kiwee]

I am.

[ar]

Then lets start :D.

GBP

[mmubashar]

Wish I could join. Unfortunately, I dont know anything about 3D imaging :sigh: Do let me see the outcome ;) This will be really interesting. If I were in, I might suggest building a futuristic city coz the ideas are limitless and you can design anything impossible. lol

[Sciurus]

Count me in!
But I kind of... ummm... just started Rhino a week ago. soo...
I won't win, but 'twill be a learning experience. yes... a learning experience...

[ElectricGrandpa]

I'll try to find the time to make an entry :D

[TheHush]

Great! Looks like we should get started. Should we have a due date? What do you guys think? a month?

BTW - Sciurus, this is a great learning experience, and you'll learn a lot :)

[Sciurus]

So whose idea are we going with? es's?

[ar]

I feel so influencial :D. But how about we just let this be an open battle? Just so that once we get say, ten entries in, we vote on those, and continue off where we left off, so that all of this could go on for a long time.

GBP

[ar]

And also, people, ElectricGrandpa will surely whip up something awesome, so I can't wait to see what he has in store.

GBP

[ar]

Here's a wip of one of the buildings that I'm working on.
I'll only have to set in the inlays for the window panes and complete the doors. I'll be trying make a futuristic city. And to show the scale of this, there's enough room in the arch for a three or four lane road.

GBP

[Sciurus]

But what theme are we going with? Dwellings and scenery? Or just an ould thing?

[ar]

It's any scenery, but with at least one or two houses / shelters.

GBP

[TheHush]

Totally kick arse boys, can't wait to get started.

[ar]

Can't wait to see other's wips :D.

GBP

[kiwee]

I'll be trying make a futuristic city.

nice model...but I am planning on doing the same thing...nevermind, they are bound to be different

[ar]

So, no one else is participating?

GBP

[ElectricGrandpa]

And also, people, ElectricGrandpa will surely whip up something awesome, so I can't wait to see what he has in store.

Haha maybe, we'll see ;). I'm just trying to think of a good idea... I really like this theme, but right now I can't stop thinking of the villages in Riven(these things: http://members.optusnet.com.au/riumplus/villageoriginal.jpg)

[TheHush]

OOo! that's a good idea EG.

I'm working on a medieval/castle scene, I'll post up a wip soon.

[ar]

I'm actually working on a few concepts, but I'll try to keep you all up-to-date.

GBP

[Thijs]

hey guys, i just found this thread. What's the deal?
due date?

i'd like to join.

[TheHush]

Heya Thijs,
this is an open 3d battle, with no real due date yet. The rules are :

Outdoor Scene
2 or more buildings/shelters etc.
Fully Rendered

[Thijs]

my kinda battle!
cool
i'm in!

Will there be a deadline? else, i think, this battle is doomed to die.

[ar]

I was thinking somewhere along the line of, when we get ten entries, we'll have a poll, and just repeate the cycle, and changing themes as we go.

But it all depends on the person that started this battle.

GBP

[Thijs]

Hey hey.

is everybody working so hard on the battle that there's no time left to chat on the forum?

I did not find too much time yet to get started. I have some idea's though.

What's the rule about post-working in PS?

[Pasquale]

I take that you can crop and adjust lighting/contrast to your need. maybe text. It's usually standard like photography battles

[ar]

Yeah. But are there going to be any discussions to this or not? I've been checking up on this, and no one's even, well, participating.

GBP

[Thijs]

i am participating.... just a little too busy at the moment.... got a job going on... the deadline is monday... after that i should be able to show some WIPs.

[signifer123]

I'm looking forward to this, not sure which i'll choose midevil europe looks taken, and future is so it looks like i'll try something a bit different ( and i'm thinking a bit easier too :-P )

[Thijs]

Hey. how's the modeling going on? To pump some life in this project: a WIP of my work.

[Thijs]

come on people. show something! (a sign of life would be nice)

[treatkor]

i'm going to try and do something for this battle if i have enough time. i can't wait to see es' futuristic city, that building wip posted earlier has a lovely shape.

[Thijs]

i'm curious for all the submissions!

i have a question to the 3D MAX-hero's here.
i just made this test render and there happens to be a render-mistake in the image that i can't understand why it is there!
(3d max 7. mental ray)
help please!

render: a little bit right of the 'T E' (link) (http://www.thijspulles.com/kirupa/test08.jpg)

[signifer123]

its either and object or you ave a really weird shadow...does that happen in scanline too?

I had to restart becuase my hard drive died, hopefully i can catch back up

[Thijs]

Dying HD's are not fun. Goodluck with it. i hope you didn'ìt loose too much data.

Thanks for awnsering my question about the weird spot. I moved the camera a bit. Played around with the light-settings and the spot left the image.

The text is broked.. :(

well i use maya and mental ray- what are your render settings? post a screen

[Thijs]

Hey Darkmotion, thanks for the will to help.... i moved the camera, changed the light settings... and the problem disappeared. So i can't even show you my render-settings since all is changed. thanks anyway..

but i repeat my question of before: How is the work going on? it really seems to me that also this battle died lonely.

[signifer123]

Ok well i'm still thinking of what i want to do...but what abut humans must we model them in our normal app(maya,3ds max, lightwave) or can weu se zygote models and clothe and skin those

http://www.open3dproject.org/us/user/home.php

Imageshack is down so i can't put up a WIP yet

so yeah i need to finish modelling, then texture and light correctly :P, and for some reason i'm stuck with scanline metal ray won't support 3 global lights

hows everyone else?
