polycounter lvl 19
in accordance with the rules, you must use this logo somewhere in your entry. We don't care what colours you use, however the logo must be recognisable.

so no spacesuits or chainsaws please.
however comp rules state:
'Your character must possess your team's colors and/or your team's insignia (if your team has one).'
and/or.....so we dont 'have' to use the logo but have to incorporate the polycount green OR the logo OR both depending on preference?
Anyway slightly confuddled. Could you let us know pls Hawken.
Cheers
rules state clearly: nothing steam powered.
The design aspect of it seems along the lines of what I'd be comfortable with, and maybe I might try it, and maybe I won't... just don't have time, sadly.
Can we change the color of the logo? Like say, if you have it "burned" into the character's skin? (ex: Being more of a reddish burned flesh tone instead of a medium green)
logo. colours are up to you

logo can be any colour you like
I read this of the Dominancewar.com site. I am puzzled over the part where is says "metal constructs". Would that mean that metal armor is out of the question?
Just my take on it. :P
So a guy wearing metal armour would be ok, wheras a suit of metal armour being driven by magic would not.
[/ QUOTE ]
What does 'driven by magic' mean...like floating shoulder armor or something of the like?
so floating stuff is ok, i guess, but a magic-robot-arm not
anyone who's put gasoline into a potatogun is surely going to scratch their heads here.
as usual, domwar rules are so vague it puts religious dogmas to shame.
and what is "a simple pistol?"
a flintlock gun?
a revolver?
a beretta?
a gonne?
are medieval cannons allowed, since it works on the same mechanical principle as a "simple gun" e.g bullet-gunpowder-
barrel?
is simple gun limited to non-machine guns?
and by that is handcranked gatling guns disallowed?
edit: btw I have the same beef you do with the rules not making any real sense, but it makes more sense if you look at it from their point of view. They don't want any mech or robot type entries, but you can give your character a gun as long as its not a super laser gun. I don't think its any more complicated than that
but he seems to be very busy, so at least i hope he will do so for the next war
What would that fall under?
So suppose I were to attempt making a dude who's body is infested with ancient deep space parasites.
What would that fall under?

if they're going to be the 'elemental' weapon, just make sure they're all perfect clones of each other and you're all set
yes, Yuzrass. you can give him 18 weapons if you want, as long as only one is the artifact
[/ QUOTE ]
or two identical ones!
Sorry for bad english.
BTW I read the GameArtisans official rules like you're allowed to use the logo OR the site's colour scheme - why are we now limiting this here to "MUST USE LOGO" but colour scheme can be anything you like? That's actually different rules to what Fred has set down officially.
I think it'd be perfectly fine to not have the logo on your submission as long as the overall colours were the black/blue/green/red of the default forum colour scheme.
Obviously it's easier to integrate the logo, but I don't think we should be arbitrarily restricting it to make everyone include that logo even if their colours are that of polycount.
Question: how do you update the thumbnail in the official dom war site?
[/ QUOTE ]
Just upload a newer version...
Note1 : All updated thumbnails are reviewed before shown on the View Entries page
Note2 : If you submit your final entry, you can no longer update your entry's thumbnail
I'm just thinking of giving him some random ass artifact to go with the infested torso husk dealie
Like a magic contact lens or sock.
Well that's not true, something cooler and more stabby/crushy but you get what I mean..
I also take it that I absolutely cannot have a space suit on the character, even if it's non functioning..?
errr, nevermind about the first part I forgot about being able to have 2 artifacts
don´t know exactly what you mean but you can do this:
go to dominancewar.com and login
klick your team
klick join
klick "The categories you joined: xyz"
tadaaa
hope thats what you asked for.. if not..
btw: our main colors are offical black ´n green (so using red and blue does not work, just as supporting colors)
and mechanical stuff isn´t disallowed...
How to show effect of emmisive map in the winnig pose deafult render in 3ds max? Theres no option to generate glow from map. Theres only self illumination map slot in material editor, and the effect is still flat.
Or maybe I'm wrong?
Or maybe I need a additional realtime shader for max?
The games engines renders are allowed? For example ue3, or maybe xnormal viewer? But the quality level is still lower than 3-light render..
Can anyone help me to out of this?
they are only allowed as part of your model (so you have to count the planes to your max polycount and the textures to your texture)
or
as background for your beauty shot (but you have to remove them for the winningpose-shot)
to be sure ask FredH on the game artisans forum
