I think your first item for single items released for Luna is the best. She just got released and the workshop could use some saturation on her items to put her inplace with the rest of the heros. Abaddon already has a lot of items in the workshop and a staggering amount of swords and weapons.
P.S. Submitting an item today still counts? The competition started late and we got some trouble finishing our entry.
How about "Winter is coming" but with the limitation that you can't use ice heroes?
So no Crystal Maiden, Drow, Lich or Tusk (think those are the only ice heroes on the workshop at the moment)
Yup, that's my point, and it seems silly to exculde them from their own theme. That would be like having a beast theme without beastmaster and lycan, it's just not right.
It would be a creative challenge adapting heroes to fit within a winter theme, otherwise could run the risk of samey items for just a select few heroes. Granted even with no limitations at all the option is still there for people to use different heroes if they wish to do so!
Interesting idea to limit it to non-ice themed heroes since they're already 'dressed up' for the winter. I think it would be interesting to see fur coats, gloves, etc. on Lina but still fit her color scheme
I don't like the idea of limiting it. Limitations are not fun to me, just let me make what I want in the given theme. There's already enough limitations.
Alright, after some delays and difficulties, we managed to finish this cloak. Stefco's concept really pushed the technical limitations on this one from both a triangle, UV space and rig prespective. We are proud of the results and hope you like it.
about limiting, i think we should allow the cold themed heroes, Reddit is doing a which hunt on item these days and i think its healthy to go a a little less further (like the example on lina with cold theme)
we could split the competition in 2, heroes with the winter theme and the others =]
Btw, i was trying to talk with Adam, one of the big boss here at polycount, he had an idea making something a little bigger. Im trying to talk with him right now and i will let you guys know.
about the late submition, i dont think its fair with the other guys, but i will add to the finished ones in a "late submition" category, so it will be there with the other but not eligible to be win the handplane licenses
about the late submition, i dont think its fair with the other guys, but i will add to the finished ones in a "late submition" category, so it will be there with the other but not eligible to be win the handplane licenses
do you guys think its fair like that?
thanks
As long as it gets ranked with the other items, I leave it to you and PC members to decide on eligibility of licenses.

well deadlines must be same for all, that's the point of a challenge!
ok guy, i think we got enough votes for the "winter is comming challenge" =]
just to define a format, i think we should keep the single items way since its working really nice on the last months. No Restriction of hero but i do think that we should have a new section on a creativity/originality contest.
So for example, if someone made a Lina on an ice theme and doesnt went too far away with the "lore" and also got a good color scheme, this guy really deserves something =]
You guys can start the items, i will wait a little about if we should go for 2 kind of winners for this month and later i will create the thread.
About this one guys, since we dont have that huge number of participants like we had in july and august, what oyu guys think about a public pool for voting on the items?
Actually i agree with ox..What are your criteria choosing here ? i don't understand really.. Some were added very late and by the rules u posted can't be in the poly contest.
You are my item is missing too.
I know that ı wont be able to win anyway but late posts must not be in contest. Its unfair for others.
well is not a matter of beautiful items or ugly ones...
is a challenge..if this was opened to only the few "chosen one" i'd understand, but its a "anybody in" competition
or could it be that none of you reads the entire posts?
I asked it 2 weeks ago and all of u ( I can understand) did not seem to see it...but what about Admin?
why is there an admin or someone to take care of this forum, if he is never here?
I have been posting here for as long as this challenge started..and all act like my posts won't even appear to your pages...
I am not talking about quality of the items..I am talking about what kind of people fills these forums!
@oxhid i just checked all pages, in total u got more feedback inside this month then i got in my whole time beeing here. and ur item is fine, u just did not submit it the right way. i mean its not hard - just follow the formular like everyone other does.. im sure if u do it now tvi will be so nice and add ur item to the list
The late submission thing is fine, the thread was created on the 8th so there should be some wiggle room for the deadline so we get a full month, especially since the December thread was just created a couple days ago too.
Oxhide, Tvi doesn't spend all his time on the forums so its hard for him to spend time going through EVERY post, especially if items aren't submitted correctly. Also, if you feel like you don't get any replies for your items, you have to be more specific about what you think is wrong. If you just put a WIP image up without any context we don't really know how to help. If you could post something like "Hey guys, here's my new item I would like some help with UV layouts or poly flow"
I know the page created in 8 of november or something. But the subject (uncrowded items) was decided 5-6 days before the post so you dont have to wait tvidotto to post bexuse you already know the subject. I mean it is not a excuse for late submissions.

ty for the help sir!
sorry guys if sometimes i got some days delayed, i have a pretty much busy schedule some days, cutting my sleep time and the time i spend with my wife, but as Cagdasx said, its possible to start working as soon we got to an agreemente of the next month contest
but I am not concerned about posting it to this challenge..
I don't care winning any prize or get my item accepted into the shop...
All I wanted was to feel like being a part of a "different" community.
there is no such thing here, you are not aside or lower then anyone, is just that i browsed for all the 9 pages and got the ones that were submitted like the code on the rules. some of then that were wrong but still recognizable i added and made the work of going to the workshop page and get the right image size or links.
this is a forum, which means that everyone could help you, you dont need to wait me to teach how to use the code, you just need to read it on the first page and look on the other guys submition. if you see that is different it is probably because something is wrong.
if you give me the thumbnail of your submition with the links to your page and to the item i can add on the first post, but how you expect me to copy some information that you never gave?
sorry if i look a little harsh, im just trying to get back to work, its already 6pm here and i didnt start!

but with no limitation or whatsoever (could go from single items to wards or couriers) etc...
So no Crystal Maiden, Drow, Lich or Tusk (think those are the only ice heroes on the workshop at the moment)

And now it hidden idk why.
where is shiva?
some of those items are not in the list, and some of the items in the list are those with late submission^
do you even read the posts^?!!
ty
i hope it's a fact due to disattention.

is a challenge..if this was opened to only the few "chosen one" i'd understand, but its a "anybody in" competition
if u see in the very first post and read the text u see that u have to use that formular.
otherwise ur items wont be displayed
