they have them almost every month...

they'll be starting a new one soon, keep eyes peeled

[blackdahlia]

yeah i know about those i was just wondering if any go on on this website

[Spellbinder]

Start one blackdahlia. Just have a finnished concept on what you want it to be and those that wants to enter will. Set up some rules, like how many polys and size of texture and for how long the contest should be etc.

they started it.. its not really low poly this month though. It's get the trial version of mudbox and make the funniest thing you can out of the sphere primitive

The last ones didnt generate much interest anymore, and the short lowpoly buzz at mapcore seemed over , but if you have some good ideas, post them here and maybe a new challenge can be started!

I have an idea for one, although I wouldn't know a good idea on max polies to make things challenging yet possible. If no one minds though I could at least start one for March, people can bitch at me if the rules suck...

[blackdahlia]

ok so im gonna start a low poly challenge in a separate thread, hope lots of people will join in! first 2 people to volunteer can help me judge the contest

thanks guys

how about you post your ideas here first to see if people would be interested in them.

[Pericolos0]

I locked your thread blackdahlia, but you can discuss your topic here. If more people come up with ideas we can eventually vote for them .

I'll start up a march lowpoly challenge one march 1st!

I like the asian weapon theme. Maybe open it up to just Medieval weapons? Then the old asian stuff could be included, but give more variation, like maces and clubs and crossbows and axes.

Sentry guns\weapons (like TFC engiee cannon)

[blackdahlia]

well im pretty much going very similar to the contest last month at game-artist so i dont think the texture sizes were too big

just look at last months medival contest it was 250 polys (mine was 300)

and the textures were 512x512

its not because they do it like that on game artist.net that it makes perfect sense :S. I can't think of any game engine or console that lets you use this ammount of texture memory but limits yourself that a polycount like that. I'd rather do a low poly competition that makes sense and that the contestants would learn something from and make something that could be useful on a portfolio.

I think we should stay with limitations that makes sense and would be useful for actual game assets that would be used. And I know that people at game artist have been complaining about their competions for thesame reason.

There's no reason we should copy game-artist.net.
