Are the specs for the scene based on Wii limits, and are normal, spec maps ok?

hawken · Dec 2006

I must change my lazy ways!

MoP · Dec 2006

Comment and request: Instead of making "scene" a stipulation, we might get more entries if people can make either an environment, a character/creature or a mix of those rather than having to do everything ... someone whose environment work is awesome but isn't confident about characters might get put off if they have to do stuff they don't really want to, etc.

Just a thought, I understand if it needs to be more consistent for judging, though

I had a good idea for an entry, but it was not a scene, nor family friendly, just sayn others might have felt the same

I still might enter if the rules become less constrained

I'm there with MoP on this one.

I don't do characters.

Richard Kain · Dec 2006

I'm fine with requiring a scene. Christmas lends itself well to scenes, rather than isolated characters. And the previous challenge was for a stand-alone character, so this keeps things interesting.

But I'm not so sure about the "family friendly" stipulation. If I'm making a scene about "Christmas gone BAD," there is going to be something happening that you wouldn't want yung-un's exposed to. If we're talking no boobs/genitalia, I'm fine with that. But there's almost certianly going to be some blood spraying around here. (possibly a little dismemberment)

Asmuel · Dec 2006

I like boobs and genitalia

Vailias · Dec 2006

Um technically couldn't a "scene" be comprised of a character on a stand/background? I mean you could get away with just having the non character parts of the scene be using 6 tris, or 4 even, and paint those with a properly tileing texture or something and its still a scene.

rooster · Dec 2006

I think it would be pretty harsh to disqualify a character on a themed base, I hope that would be allowed

Joshua Stubbles · Dec 2006

I don't want a character to be a requirement, though. I don't build characters. Simple as that.

from the rules:
[ QUOTE ]

2) You can use anything you want in your scene (props, characters, etc). The only limitation is you must be under or at the polycount for the entire scene. The polycount limit will be 6000 for the entire scene. (This may change a bit, I have rushed the rules out...)

[/ QUOTE ]

I was actually using the word "scene" loosely and should have probably been a bit more clear. I apologize for that. So in answer to the question, if you want to just do a straight environment piece, that's cool. If you want to collab with someone, that's fine as well. If you just want to do a character on a platform or something, awesome. I tried to leave it as open for interpretation as possible.

The only request I have is that if you do a character, try to give it some sort of surrounding scenery that adds to the piece in some way and not just a Santa in a thong in the DaVinci pose rendered on a grey background.

Asmuel · Dec 2006

So no change on 'family friendly'?? I agree with Richard, exept I want boobies etc.

Maybe I will just draw a concept and leave it at that, someone else can model it if they want

hawken · Dec 2006

nudity IS family friendly! How do you think families are made?

When I say "family friendly" I mean a little nudity is ok, violence is alright, just no animated scenes of things like Santa plowing Jesus while an elf blows him or something. ;]

Sayanora · Dec 2006

So a Stalin like Santa and his nutcrackers crushing a worker elf rebellion is A OK?

Joao Sapiro · Dec 2006
