DONE

Time to Vote.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

-------------------
1st
Artist Name - zortech
Character Name - M-39 Robot and Natalia

Concept:8
As weird as it may sound, this entry reminds me of a futuristic past. The models match and work well together.
Model: 8
From what I see, it’s a good use of polys. All 7000 pols used, I like that.
Texture: 9
I think the textures are great. The only problem I see is wit the normal map on the robot. You cant tell that its there. That means you texture too good. It hides the bump. Or maybe it’s the camera angle and the lights.

Total =25
--------------------
2nd
Artist Name - Dia86
Character Name – Jenkers and Gimbo

Concept: 8
No one else went this route, which in my opinion makes it original.
Model: 8
Even though you knew no one was going to see the body underneath, you still went ahead and modeled it. You sacrificed polys for function. That, in my book is a good thing.
Texture: 6
I think the textures brought everything down a bit. From the models wire frames Jenkers looks like a socket puppet from the future, but the textures give him an alien lizard feel. Another thing that seemed of where the lights. The final render drowns out the texture making it hard to see the detail.

Total =22
-------------------
-3rd
Artist Name - OROCHI
Character Name – Lynn and SHIROZEN

Concept: 6
It nice, but like a lot of people said during the process, it reminded them of games they’ve seen.
Model: 8
The models came out great. The robot looks like you spent more time on it and not just because there are more poly’s. The robot seems more thought out.
Texture: 5
The textures look cool on the models, but on the robot, which is the focal point, has a plan feel. It would have been nice if it was fully unwrapped and textured.

Total = 19

[LostCucumber]

-------------------
1st
Artist Name - zortech
Character Name - M-39 Robot and Natalia

Concept: 7
They both read clearly as "child and her robot", and they're obviously a pair. It's a really good match for the compo description, but I don't feel that it's very creative or new to me.
Model: 9
I'm really impressed. Only thing my eyes dislike are the proportions of the girls arms, but it's only a minor thing, and the rest is just perfect.
Texture: 9
The normal map and shading is beautiful. My only crit is that they feel too "perfect". The color map of the girl should show some kind of evidence that she has weared that coat more than once.

Total = 25
--------------------
2nd (tied)
Artist Name -Orochi
Character Name - Lynn & Shirozen

Concept: 7
I like the contrast and style of them both, and they do match eachother, but it's not really original.

Model: 9
Great. I got no other word for it. There's a couple of places I feel you put too many polygons that could have been placed on more key areas, but overall this is really good.

Texture: 5
They are really plane, with no shading or texture to it, and the places that do only got really obvius photoshop filters


Total =21

--------------------
2nd (tied)
Artist Name - Dia86
Character Name - Jenkers & Gimbo

Concept: 9
These two guys got a _lot_ of character and emotion and could be the main characters of a game story any time. I love them.
Model: 6
I feel you're wasting polys in the wrong areas here, and the siluette of both pays for it. Good proportions and show of character, though.
Texture:6
Also here I feel that you're using the pixels the wrong places, and I agree with BiG ToE that the boy doesn't match the modeling style.


Total =21
--------------------

I hope it's okay that two people ended up with the same score. There's a lot of great work here, grats to all who made the deadline, the amount of work really shows off.

Imho this is a perfect example of the spirit behind "a child and their robot"
Your design remind me Kastushiro Otomo's (Akira, Steam Boy)

I like the dirty and desaturated colors of this work. Execellent use of the texture space.

Concept: 6
Zato is perfect with his golem-like design, big arms ecc...
But the girl (imho) doesn't match the style of the robot.

Model: 8
Awesome modelling and good use of polygons (6952)
Alissa's face is too big in my opinion.

Texture: 9
A textures madness! I like the trasmutation circles around Zato's body and the rusty textures.
Alissa's textures are very detailed but I dont' like her skin color.
Good use of normalmaps and shaders.

Concept:10
Definately one of the most original concepts for a robot I've ever seen.
Model:6
Nice, but there are definately spaces where more polys could be used, like the shirt thing on the boy, especially since you have over 1000 polys left to use.
Texture:7
Nice textures on gimbo and all cloth textures are very good, but I'm not sure how well jenkers skin works,

Total =23
--------------------

Everyone's entries were so good, I had such a hard time deciding, so well done to everyone!

[Metalman]

-------------------
1st: Klash 120 with Sariu & Panzer
Score: 25

Concept 10 - When i saw this in the WIP thread, my jaw dropped. the concept is cool and edgy. I dunno, there's just something cool about flat armed mechs and pilot children.

Model 8 - Using just enough detail to pull the concept out, but not overcrowding. The robot's arms might deform a little poorly in certain situations.

Texture 7 - This kinda drug it down a bit. The robot's texture has a rust or wear pattern all over that makes the parts read the same. The texture could've been used to make the different elements pop very well. (don't ask me how, I didn't even finish!

-------------------
2nd: Zortek with M39 and Natalia
Score: 24

Concept 8 - I didn't see any of your concepts in the WIP post (I did miss a few pages, though.) The general feel of your robot and child together screams russian though. I looked at your image and knew it before I looked at the name or anything. That's a very good thing :)

Model 8 - Robot model is very slick and I don't see any problems. The child however, strikes me as kinda weird. I don't know what it is, probably the face.

Texture 8 - Sadly, your work towards the normal map seems to be wasted. I can't tell that it's there at all. Then again, maybe it's like makeup and the point is for people not to notice? I have no idea.
-------------------
3rd: Orochi with Lynn and Shirozen
Score: 22

Concept 8 - a sweet anime mecha and little girl. Can't go wrong with that. However, I'm supposed to judge based on originality and it looks just like a Zone of the Enders mech. Sorry if that's intentional :(

Model 8 - Your concepts came out well in 3d. The robot's a little more dense than the child, but that's because it's bigger, right?

Texture 6 - The textures really made your models less defined. The robot's legs, arms, and wing thingies all kind of meld together as my eye tries to figure out what's going on. Also, the girl's eyes are much meaner in the texture. I don't know what's up with that. >:D
-------------------

I hope it's okay that I judge, even though my entry never got finished. I started back on the path to becoming a 3d artist because of this contest, so thank you threedy guys!

The robot model is very very nice. Didn´t like that natalia has such a big coat, I think it covered up much of the detail that could have made the model more interesting.

1st
Artist Name - Orochi
Character Name - LYNN & SHIROZEN

Concept: 10 - Yeah, its obviously very "ZOE" inspired, but that doesn't stop it from being awesome
Model: 10 - This model almost works without any texture at all, it's so well defined. Lot's of defenition with very few polys.
Texture: 8 - This was difficult, because the texture does fit the style very well, but as far as technical skill behind it, it looks like it's probably 80% pre-canned Photoshop filters.

Total = 28

2nd
Artist Name - Dia86

Concept: 8 - I know you had a concept sketch, but it seems to be conpicously absent... Other than that, though, the concept is very cool and cute. (I swear I've seen this little guy before, though....)
Model: 10 - Another model that woorks with little or no texturing. Great job!
Texture: 9 - Looks great, and fits the style extremely well. The overall look is too glossy, though.

Total = 27

3rd (Technically a tie for 2nd)

Concept: 8 - Concept art please, people! Aside from that, It's cool and quite unique.
Model: 10 - What can I say, we've got some great modelers in this comp!
Texture: 9 - The girl looks great, but the robot is a bit blurry. Maybe a bit more texture space dedicated to the larger object?

[JussaSciFiGuy]

I'm new here - wish I'd found out about this sooner & could have entered myself, but WOW! they're all great entries! Here's my vote:

1st
Artist Name - jukumari
Character Name - Alissa and Zato

These came off really tight, really pro, really smooth to me. The girl alone just blows me away. I liked the idea of a magic-based character with a technological robot, but one that obviously exhibits magical influence. I especially dig the robots head - reminds me of tribal masks + urban cartoon grafitti.

Concept: 8
Model: 9
Texture: 8

Total = 25

2nd
Artist Name - Dia86

3rd
Artist Name - Neto

There's something about the girl - I get a real sense of personality from her, as if I've actually seen her walking around campus. My only niggle with either of these, is that the textures still feel flat to me.

Concept: 7
Model: 8
Texture: 6

Total = 21
--------------------
Special Mention:
Artist Name - dogtanian
Character Name - trender pink2

Although the robot is mostly a ball, the little girl's face just screams Saturday morning cartoon. and the robot fits nicely with her. Made me smile, right off!

Lastly, I just wanted to say that I was sad to miss lucashug's "N'bilou & Mousoun" - they were top notch & would've had my top vote.

i had criticisms for details on all the other projects ( especially my own, which is why it was not finished in time! ) but these all stood out for individual reasons. concepts were original, within a specific genre, but still had individual personality. they were also well modeled, with attention to necessary details, solid structure and anatomy, even if it was exaggerated. textures were very well, done, improving the models, and creating a sense of style and personality. all around, exceptional work!

PS i did manage to find the time to finish my model! but the robot is still nameless...

To me, that one stands out from the rest 'cause both models are somehow stylish. The textures on the robot are great! And the girl looks both freaky and cool at the same time. Most of all i like all the evil bright ligths on the model.

I had a big smile in my face when i saw this one. Its just that is so danm cute! It looks like it was taken out of pixar's movie. I can picture these characters in a cartoon show in a saturday morning. Really nice models. My favorite is how that girl looks so EVIL, with that smile. She looks like she's up to no good.

[OROCHI]

Everyone should start thinking up some ideas for the next comp.
What do you think of a "Street Fighter Challenge" (making a character for a beat' em up game)? http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/1207.gif

[BiG ToE-3DT]

keep the ideas coming. An idea a member had before this comp was to do an end game boss. So if we did that, the street fighter idea would work too.

[jukumari]

keep the ideas coming. An idea a member had before this comp was to do an end game boss. So if we did that, the street fighter idea would work too.

What about making parts of an army, contestans would choose beetween lihgt infantry, heavy infantry, fliers, heavy and light ranged units, something like so.

[Nibby]

Sorry for the delay, i had to make sure i had time to really think about my votes.

here it is.

-------------------
1st
Artist Name - Zortech
Character Name - M-39 Robot and Natalia

Concept: 8, I love the design for this its kinda makes me think of an alternate future from the cold war. lot of room for some backstory about a robot that saves a little girl and becomes her protector. really looks nice although it would have been nice to see a drawing beforehand.
Model: 9, The fact you had time to do such a detailed High poly model for the normal map and then the overall detail and efficiency of your lowpoly model makes my Jaw drop.
Texture: 8, Both Normal Map and diffuse map look great well painted and well unwrapped.

Total = 25

2nd
Artist Name - Klash120
Character Name - KL120 & Sariu

Concept: 7, Loved the sketches. made me think of Laputa but you did well to create an original robot. the girl was well desgned but fairly simple.
Model: 8, Efficient use of geometry. well modelled
Texture: 8, Very well painted on the robot and girl although i thought the could both use better fake shadows paintedon to the diffuse map.

Rigging: Is that technique for rigging from a particular game engine or did you see it in a tutorial. If so could you point me in that direction. I've not come across it before.

Artist Name - Jukumari

Concept: 8, I Love the design for the robot, that demonic look is awesome on the robot. would have been great to see more sketches before hand as untill i saw the final thing i wasnt sure where you were going with it but the overall witch and demon thing really scores big with me. welldone
Model: 7, Well modeled and you also went to alot of trouble with the little girl, while i love the robot model there could have been a little more detail. That way it would have looked better next to the girl.
Texture: 7, Texturing is good with a nice use of the Specular maps to make the logos on the robot glow.

Total =22
--------------------

It was really close and well done to everyone who competed. its great to see this thing taking off. I also wished Lucashug could have posted his, it was obviously a popular entry. Welldone Lucashug you get Kudos from me instead.

[Nibby]

thought i'd seperate my ideas from my votes.

one thing i think we should do is maybe give the character thing a break for a bit. we seem to only ever do things related to characters. hows about getting some environment, vehicle or static mesh work done ;0)

heres the ideas:

1, A castle, Could be futuristic, fairytale, Horror or military. anything goes. This could also just be made either as just a static mesh or as a full level which could be downloaded. for this i think we would need advice for the limits, i'm not sure how may poly's a game engine can handle for a level.

2, A Warship, submarine/boat/airship. similar to the cgChat/Polycount commander comp. we could build a fleet of war machines to become the "Threedy Armada" the winner would be the flagship of the fleet......maybe not take it that far but a warship would be cool.

3, A motorbike/trike, exactly what it sounds like.

4, Wacky Races, build a crazy racingvehicle possibly with a pilot or maybe just the vehicle.

I'll probly think of more so i'll add em as they come to me.

I do like jukumari's idea about making part of the army....would also fit with my warship idea.

Keep em comming guys and then on to the next comp ;0)

[dark_maggot]

How about mixing animals including mythological ones.

like rhino-snake, lion-horse...

[Klash120]

Ahoy Nibby, The rigging I did for my characters was a basic biped joint chain with curves as controls (So I dont have to go in and select joints/IK directly). Used the same idea/structor for the mech. Learn this (somewhat) from when I was in skool (Full Sail) The book was "Maya Character Creation: Modeling & Animation Controls" by Chris Maraffi. He's a nice guy, a bit monotone though XP.

As for next challenge idea, I like that mytholocigical idea Dark_Maggot had. :D

Sorry i didn't write crituques, i did before, and when i submitted there was an error and i lost it, didn't have it in me to write it all out again >.<

[Metalman]

I think the next contest should be a beat-em-up character or wacky races vehicle with pilot. Sorry, no original ideas for me.

[Malcolm]

I definately like the idea of designing an end-game boss, as much fun could be had with concepts there. I also like anything that is character based, as it pushes me to practice.
However, designing a level (as mentioned previously) would definately make a change, and could prove to be very interesting. It might be an idea though to ask for exterior levels only, as showing interior levels (especially complex stuff with lots of corridors and secret passageways) might be tricky to show all of through images.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Alright, enough with the voting.

And the winner is:

Zortech = 377 points

Klash 120 = 342 points

Jukumari = 303 points

Orochi = 276 points


The winner will be contacted for prizes and the what not.

please feel free to check my math, I know I would if I was you.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

True there is still some time before voting is done. But unless someone else votes, these are the standings.

[Dia86]

Concrats. to Zortech, Klash, Jukumari and Orochi for being the top four. You guys did an awsome job.This challenge turned up really nice.

I really like the boss idead but i think it should be narrow down to specific games, maybe be two or three.
My idea for the next challenge would be to make an elemental. We would choose one of the four elements and make 2 different classes/creatures that are of that element.
Will post more ideas later.

This challenge was really fun...I look forward to the next one!

Grats for Zortech, Klash 120, Jukumari, Orochi and for all participants!

I'm just newby here but want to try my skills in next competition. So could I offer an idea? Well, two ideas :)
First: the horror-creature. It may be original creature, or some variations(may be even funny) of standart creatures like zombies, vampires etc.
Second: the forest-folk. Some creatures like unicorns, elves, driads etc. And of course the self versions.

I totally agree with the horror theme, I´d be totally down for that. Horror monsters, there is definitely a challenge for modelling and texturing, something that is not you know, completely inside the usual human boundaries of arms and legs and so, niiice.

[Nibby]

weldone to Zortech, Klash 120, Jukumari and Orochi. you all deserve it.

....i'll get you next time though....MUHAhAHhAhahahahah....................

[BiG ToE-3DT]

any more ideas, or should we run with what we got?

[OROCHI]

I think that the "final boss challenge" shuld be nice cuz everyone can do a lot of different things (mecha, zombie, monsters, ninjas, warriors, dinosaurs and so on...) ^_^

[JussaSciFiGuy]

May I offer an idea for the next competition? How about a musical-themed thing - a "Rock Group" - or rather a single musician & their instrument.

such as: a futuristic electric guitarist playing their mod, mod axe through a hi-tech amp -OR- a primitive tribesman playing a set of earthy, ceremonial drums -OR- 1930's guy in a straw hat playing a ukele -OR- anything else?

Lots of room for variation & character + plus there's the addition of an opportunity to do a prop or two

I suppose this could also be akin to the previously mentioned "Army" idea, in a sort of way ...

[Nibby]

i cant think of any more, theres a few good ones to choose from in there ;0)

[Yaurah7]

Congratsto the winner..GoodWork!

[Mike_inel]

Congrats Zortech!
Sorry if i'm late for voting... (sigh)

Thanks alot folks, and hooray. :)

I slightly ran out of time with the robot and the final render. I'll keep some more time for rendering next time...

Sorry for being late, congrats to all who showed their completed work in this thread. There is a lot quality stuff and many different styles.
