DWIII - Know Thy Enemy! (spy thread)

rooster

Unless a mod decides otherwise, I thought it would be cool to have a thread that highlights and particularly promising entries you spot from the other forums. For two reasons!

1. we need to see what's coming! Polycount scouts should report any non-polycount Kick-Ass (I know, who knew?) so nothing takes us by surprise!

2. I and many others dont have time to go trawling through pages and pages on each of the 9 forums to see what sweet models and concepts are floating about.. Particular help would be appreciated highlighting cool russian and chinese works as navigating their forums is tricky

forum links are all here:

oh snap, andrewley is in this? Hes one of my favorite concept artists... his 3d isnt as good as his 2d, but I bet hes improved a lot since I've last seen his 3d work.

rollin

ok what i´v learnd from the last dom war.. making a sick concept is one thing.. making an sick realtime-model and presenting it well is another

anyhow, there´s realy hot stuff comming... but we are green

Spark

I was going to do this as well Rooster, so thanks for taking the time to put this together. If you can post any links at the top in your original thread so we can keep this somewhat organized that would be great. Rollin your right, but if I see a great concept that makes me go damn! and then I know that 3d artist can do it...I want to make sure I keep an eye out on him, but green in the end anyway:)

Spark

BlackB

in the chinese forum u need the account to be able to see the pictures... and there is only 2 of them start to post the stuff on :S so .. wait for few days then maybe they will start to post the WIP stuff!!!

Rooster, can you also do this for Polycount side? As I am getting lost within the pages of threads that we already have, and think it will be good to see how we are comparing in the fight ( which will be at the top! )
Thanks

Spark

RazorBladder

Wouldn't that be kinda disheartening for the people that don't make that "special" list?

cholden

How's about we make a thread where you post ONCE, then you can continue to edit that post with ONE image and a link to your thread. Something like thumbnails for people to browse instead of digging through all these threads.

edit note: Mods would delete ANY replies/non pimp or additional posts by same artist to keep the thread clean.

Spark, just spy on who they're spying on - http://www.cgtalk.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=19267

yeah razorbladder has the same reasoning I had, and also we should try to look at as many of our own entries as possible to help anyone looking for tips/ give general encouragement

It's a competition, being judged by other artists is the very nature of it.

Muppet Man`s entry last year was surely in the favorites and it looks like hes going all-in this year.

sup thats cool and all, but I still think it detracts from the team spirit focusing everyones attention on a few people who probably need the encouragment and suggestions least of all

I see your point, but i still don't really think it's a big deal. Each team is responsible for encouraging and helping out all of their teammates, yeah, but there's no way to expect each team's members to dig through every thread on the other seven forums. Why shouldn't cross-site posts be highlighted by merit?

wizo

I agree with SupRore. Checking out whats happening on the other boards is suppose to motivate us and give us ideas of what tweaks could make our concept and execution more badass.

For instance if we see a flying creature coming from cgchat, It would be cool if a Polycounter adjusted his/her concept with a magical net artifact to counter that creature.

Not familiar with his work but his final image should come out rockin' if its anywhere close to as energetic as the original sketch.

well its kinda a moot point now anyway just look at the summary thread and click on ones that look cool

cheers boomz! dunno what the hell he's making but it looks badass
