A while back, we had a discussions about it awarding icons or challenge ## winner under their name, and for a while Hawken had all those example icons under his username. Ebagg was awarded Challenge #25 Winner! under his name; fogmann won Challenge #26 and received nothing.
Personally, I dont mind either way, but for community and building interest in the challenges I believe consistency is important. Is this concept still on or another good idea that fell through?
I was thinking of swiss army knife. Someone posted some swiss army vehicles and it made me think. How about a contest with swiss army knifes with things YOU'D include... something that would be just fun.
Just thought I'd share that... even though I never participate
humanoids with crazy weapons for appendages? half human/animals? Mount & rider would be fun aswell. I would imagine all kinds of crazy ideas coming from that one.
i always wanted to do a character out of an object, like a toilet or a lamp, etc, a character where you would see him and say "hey thats my toilet !" ( yes im a turd )
naughty/nice xmas sounds ok
no bloody robots please.
christmas gone bad is a bloody awful chliche but i would kind of like to see what comes of it.
i say a naughty/nice scene.
I like the Xmas gone wrong deal. My twist would be you have to do a static scene of a certain poly-limit showing an "xmas gone bad" It would be more of an environmental pieces instead of a character piece.
we did a low poly halloween scene some time ago... env, prop, character. that was fun. I'd like to try something similar with the naughty Xmas idea. Perhaps a little higher in polies tho, Wii specs.
Yay! So, with Christmas gone bad deal, can I make something like a tribute to Bad Santa? What can I say, I love Zwigoff's movies (Robert Crumb documentary and Ghost World hurray!). Thumbs up for naughty Santa!
I'm all for christmas gone bad....i have quite a few ideas I wouldn't mind trying already....could always team up with someone..an environment & character....
hawken i guess its the same as gamecube eheh ... ill try to dig it , but i believe it is in terms of polygon count the same or more than ps2 , but textures with higher resolution ( 512x512)

OH SNAP!

The hell? ... I did foggman's. I SWEAR. grrrr.
Sorry, I have been busy lately, so I will take complete blame on that. I am trying to keep caught up.
Honestly!!
hmm.
cyborg: (not fully human, which means less parts to protect)
power armour: (allowed?)
basically a human-shaped vehicle.
mechs: (allowed?) large power armour, rarely humanoid.
Powered armour is WORN, while a mech or mecha is piloted. Are mechas allowed now too?
but redesign a carmageddon (1) car? keep it to about 2k polys be a nice challenge i think.

yeah, last year I set the challenge to nativity scene. I think someone entered but it wasn't exactly high turn out.
Anyone got the Wii specs to hand? How many polygons / textures can this wee chap digest?
