Environment art contest @ Game-Artist.net
polycounter lvl 20
Scene From A Movie
Competition Deadline: 29th March 2009
The gap between motion picture visuals and the graphical fidelity of current generation videogames is closing with every new AAA game release. Visual realism is becoming more of an accepted part of videogames and more an important part of immersing games players into these fantastic realtime experiences.
For this competition, you must choose a scene from a movie and create a 3D environment based on it. You can either recreate it exactly, or you can use it as a reference to create something new - but it has to be recognizable and it has to look like it belongs to that movie.
As well as overall quality and technical merit, your work will be judged on how well your piece represents a chosen scene or visual style from the movie you've chosen.

See.... now that sounds pretty cool.
I was going to suggest an idea very similar to this for the next Polycount comp after the Dom War. But with the option to team up with a character guy to do the actors in the scene but the primary focus would be the scene.
Oh well, I guess it gives you enviro jerks something to do while us elite character guys go off to war.

Don't worry Casey, you'll always be MY Character jerk.
I actually had a similiar idea as well. Oh well my next idea should get some interests going.
No problem. Anything to support the game art community.
This looks very cool!
Got some time now anyways.
As they should, because these movies have fantastic scenes.
Hopefully some of you env guys'll jump over and steal all our prizes
I don't think it's a necessarily a choice between this and DW4 - With DW usually being character based, we're not allowing characters at all, so as to try and avoid as much overlap as possible.
Thanks again!
Way too cool not to join
haha, pea's predictions coming true!! That scene is cool as hell though, one of my favorite movie moments
We're doing JF Sebastian's crib from Blade Runner.
Yeah, and the prop was still 26 feet tall
Talon and Cody, awesome ideas, soooo many cool ideas to choose from
