low poly contests

how about 250 poly 64x64 contests

what if everyone models the car they own, or a bike, or a bus, or whatever you use for transport, making a clean and a dirty/rusty version? that'd be SO useful for a lot of people! with a very limited polycount and a texture of no more than 512² or 1024², what do you say?

how about i post a texture sheet and you guys make cool models with that

Yes!

How about low poly ships: 500 tris max - 256x256 diffuse + normal/spec/opacity

This sounds fun. I haven't done normal, specular or opacity maps before on models tho, i can't either figure out why such a lowpoly model would need spec or normal map (except for practise purpose), model would be used on old engine with no such capabilities, so it's kinda pointeless doing them.. right?

It's just for practise. Or maybe you are working on a little indie game, who knows.

or you think you are pimp

Think he meant why bother using normal & spec maps? I agree, they look shit on low-res textures anyway. And sticking to diffuse only keeps it simple.

What about bodyparts?

Everyone decides whether he's modeling an arm or a leg or the head and so on. no limitations, every kind of style.

later then we are putting the parts together and see what comes out
