Still not up, and no explanation or new set launch time. All this effort to gather prizes and sponsors and really cool looking web-graphics.
The prize is a right to brag and an awesome portfolio piece. All a challenge needs is two communities, some guidelines, and a strict deadline that doesn't overlap the major holidays. Oh I remember the good old days, when things were simple. Before the Russians invaded.
Yeh, vcool, those are some good tuts. Something I have been learning recently is the importance of a good well planned texture.
Check out these textures by Casey Burpee on his flickr page , an artist who worked on Condemned 1 and 2. I loved the style of the games, and alot of it can be attributed to the texture work.
Note that Casey states:
each texture can take up anywhere from one hour to four, sometimes eight hours to create depending on it's complexity and usage.
And I dont know about you 3DK.P. but i'v been building stuff for the last 3 weeks and none of it will go to waste. You can never be too ready, whether it starts tomorrow or next week there is no reason why people cant be doing prep work right now.
Not to burst your preparedness bubble, ian, but the rules for these contests generally state that all of the work has to be done for and completed during the contest time frame. But hey, it can't hurt to be practicing.

Yes, I read that on the last years rules, and a few others have had similar rules. But it doesn't hurt to have a library of reference material and stuff, ideas laid out, etc. And yeh the practice doesn't hurt

Yeah I actually have been working on a small scene based off of some concept art done by Muzz, maybe I'll post it up when I feel it's ready. But yeah I've definitely been really excited about this contest starting!
There's a man with three daughters.
The first daughter(a Brunette) comes up and says "Daddy why'd you name me Daisy" the dad says" 'cause when you were born a daisy fell on your head."
The second daughter (a red-head) comes up and says "Daddy why'd you name me Rose" the dad says "'cause when you were born a rose fell on your head."
The third daughter (a blond) comes up and says "kjaglifvgjlfj" the dad says "SHUTUP CINDERBLOCK"
A man and a girl wander in the forest. Says the girl: 'It is so dark. I am scared.' Answers the man: 'You can talk. I'll have to go the way back all by myself.'
Ooh, just went to the pub and drank 4 pints of beer then ran a kilometre in 5 minutes to get a train back home that lasted 12 minutes. Those extra 2 minutes of advantage in the UEC just haven't paid off.

He's launched it, but I believe a couple pages are still being ironed out, mostly the Join pages. He'll have them solved over the weekend.
