Final Pictures:

Required In The Final Post (1 post per entry):

- 1 “clean” render, meaning, have your model lit with a plane background so that it will be easy to cut out. Make sure your character is posed and read to fight. Also, your render needs to be from any angel/view other than the front on view.

- 1 x Winning pose shot. This image should have "One" pose of your character. No multiple shots or different angles. Just one!

- 1 x Beauty shot of your character. Feel free to put multiple angles of your character or just one big version or your character on this page. Even better, try to composite a nice art piece similar to the ones in the Winners' Gallery. Be careful how you do this though, simple is often better. It’s up to you.

- 1 x wireframe shot of your character. Feel free to put multiple wireframe shots or just one big wire frame shot on this page. It is up to you. Must have polycount included.

- 1 x texture sheet that includes all your used sheets squeezed into "one" sheet.

- Concept Sheet (Only if you have a concept)

You must provide a screen grab of your wire frame with your poly count, with the actual model and all its parts selected. Please don’t Photoshop your Poly counter with a bogus count.

Due Date is Sunday Febuary 4th, 12 midnight GMT

Voting that following week

The Poly Counter still bugs me though; I just can't get it to ignore the custom rig and biped. Yet, I know it's doable - Laughing Bun did it!!! His all objects and selected objects are the same!!! Aughh... :grr:

Still, I'm happy with what I turned out and glad to see so many cool designs!! It was a pleasure working with y'all! :D

Thanks the experience guys! See you next comp! :wave:

Model (10-10)
Textures (8-10)

your model turned out quite well. the only thing i see eatting at it are the textures. with time and practice it will own. from what i can see the models topology is simply amazing. textures is alright. but your model followed your concept pretty well and to me gave the same feel. just work on texturing and you got gold!

the glow looks good and everything together along with the normals work really well. nice work. would think about making the environment around your stunning character more stunning, she just seems like she doesnt fit in.

again good job

Model (7-10)
Textures (10-10)

This one won my heart and soul in the beggining but for the main reason for me why your in third is that model looks amazing and yet the hands are modeled closed. in todays world this model would be deemed unusuable. please rethink modeling closed hands. judging by your skills in texturing and modeling it wouldnt be to hard to make those hands. again good job, the answer is in the palm of your hand.

I loved your whole concept. My only real complaints were , no gun type weapon, and the face and legs on your model seemed a little 'odd' to me. But over all, Cyber Punk indeed! (the glow was a perfect touch)

Your facial texture looks awesome. The thing that bothered me was your model seemed a little out of proportion ... meaning, to short and stalky for my likes. But the whole concept fits the genre great ... makes me think 'matrix' for some reason.

First Place-

Member Name: Vinsanity

Concept (9-10) - I thought the concept was really true to the theme of the contest, and since the original vote of this months contest WAS Steam Punk i thought you did a good job.

Model (8-10) - Its a good model, but nothing that makes me say "Whoa, I would have never thought to do that!"

Textures (6-10) - mmmm, not the greatest....definitely your weakest point...every thing seems blurred

Second Place-

Member Name: EZ5K

Concept (7-10) - Its an ok concept, but I cant really tell weather it belongs in the Steam or Cyber Punk category.

Model (8-10) - Its seems to be a pretty clean model...im curious to know weather theres a high poly model involved or not.

Textures (8-10) - Really great textures....I love the face and arms. Did you edit a picture or a real face or is that all painted? I'm not that impressed with all the leather...although its a great job...I really do see how anyone could have screwed that up....basically what im saying is...from what I see of the face texture I would have loved to see you challenge yourself a little more for the rest. Great Job over all!

Third Place-

Member Name: platypus_green

Concept (7-10) - The concept works well...I can actually tell what category it belongs in. I just feel like its been done before so it loses a bit of luster...It reminds be a lot of Ghost in the Shell

Model (7-10) - Good clean Model....the translation of the head from high poly to low didnt come out the best and she ends up looking a bit manly. If I could judge you soully on the high poly i would have given you a 10.

Textures (8-10) - Textures over all fit really well...love the glow effect on the winning pose....im guessing that was all photoshoped.
Other Comments -

Defaultalias - I honestly love your first original concept, because it seemed like it was a bit out side the relm of what I normally see you do for these contest because everything is starting to look the same to me....for the next contest I would love to see you try and get outside you comfort zone and try a more realistic style....(if the contest calls for it)

That Don - I loved the whole model....it was looking very sexy and reminded be alot of a human female from "World of Warcaft"...until....you alpha mapped the hair....I understand that it is hard to do alpha mapped hair well....I would have suck with the un-alphaed hair.....again like the human females in WoW. Also I noticed that you didnt give to much room to the face in the texture sheet....usually the rule of thumb is to give the face a lot of room on the sheet. Mostly you wanna do that so you can put as much detail in the face as you can, cause the face is what your going to be looking at the most on the character and if you cant sell the face...you cant sell the character.

This model is just brilliant. I can just imagine it stomping around.

Concept 6
Model 8
Textures 8

Good clean modelling and detailed texturing, but the concept let it down a little. It has been said that a good character can be identified by it's outline.

Oh, just a note that I forgot to put on my entry. The beauty shot is the low poly mesh with it's normal mapping on. NOT the high poly mesh.

Concept (0-10): 10 The concept is smooth, killer. Its nicely done and its very fitting. Good mix of hi-scifi and low-scifi. Very good, very interesting. Nicely done out. Even though for modelling purposes its not that perfect, mostly because its posed. But full 10 for the concept none the less!
Model (0-10): 9 The model is very nice. Good flow and clean. However there seems to be few spots on the joints that don't seem quite right to me. But she does pose good anyhow. I can't quite judge model itself as perfect, both (all) shots of her feature left hand stiff, with no bent fingers, so I can't know if you've rigged them and or how they world out. The body has little oddity in the 'bending', hip area, but that's not major, only little thing that should have been given little more care. Excellent model anyhow :)
Textures (0-10): 10 Texturing job is very good. Smooth, nice, fine. The normal maps are superb! The diffuse is great too, infact one of the best mixes of normals and diffuses I've seen before. The other maps seem grand as well!

Concept (0-10) 8 I'm not big fan of ninjas, so... Try to bear with me. The concept is interesting for being a ninja ;) But I must say he should have had 'wrist gun' instead of gun arm. Sort of impractical for jumping ninja. But good and interesting design anyhow :)
Model (0-10) 10 Very good model, nice, sweet. Paper to polygons is very nicely done. Only complaint is the side of the legs, the 3 vertical edges don't server much and probably would have been better to use them for smoothing the legs better
Textures (0-10) 10 Texturing job is very good. There's one thing poking me in the eye though.. One of them is the 'mirrored' icon on chestpiece. Its an 'unfun'-factor, but I'd be unfair to reduce score from that. Its still brilliant! :)

Concept (0-10) 8 While the concept is nicely executed, its a bit basic. The gun however is the savior and gives the huge boost in concept power :)
Model (0-10) 10 Superb model! Brilliant! Excellent! Fantastico! Its good, its clean, its grand. I could say... Its perfect as it is. Cheers and thumbs up!
Textures (0-10) 8 Textures are well done, but... the 'cracky' leather surface is too much and there could be less specularity on the model, otherwise very good :)

I love the style and your winning pose looks A1. For a low-poly camp you sure maxed the polys with some great normal maps. Also the detail you put into your textures skins super fine. Also I thing you where true to your Concept. :lurve:

Here's my tally

#1 - Laughing_Bun
Concept 10
Model 9
Texture 9

He dared to be different and work towards a non-human character while maintaining total SteamPunk/Tech feeling. The model is simple and clean and the textures have an excellent use of a limited color pallet with just enough dirt and grime to make it work ... and look like it does!

#2 - Shadowbreeze
Concept 9
Model 9
Texture 9

Steam Ninja, what can I say. Beautiful concept and execution. The textures just POP on the design. Wish I could do normals. LOL

#3 - C-drik
Concept 8
Model 9
Texture 8

Steam Punked Lara Croft - WILD! True to concept. A little loose on texture space use and the ladies are a little overworked in this genre (Me too ... guilty as charged). But still an excellent entry.

First Place- Ez5k

Concept (7)-The concept is probably your weakest point, But I still think it is one of the better concepts anyways. His gun arm thing is awesome but the rest of the character begins to dip into familiarity and dullness.

Model (9)- The model looks awesome, I didnt noticed the hands were modelled in a fist at first. Which is kind of odd... but not that big of a deal. Overal very clean topology with a great normal map.

Textures (10)- This is by far the highlight of your model, the skin looks great and you managed to work your textures without overworking them, and letting the normal do its job.

Second Place- Klash120

Concept (9)- A great concept im a little confused as to why you have yet to be mentioned. He has a lot of originality and character. And from a conceptual standpoint is much more pleasing than almost all the other entries

Model (9) A rock solid model that poly for poly defines the form extremly well. I think you have one of the strongest models as well which is interesting that you have been overlooked thus far. My only real gripe is that it would have been nice to see some of your stylization in the concept carry over to the model.

Textures (7)- The textures do look pretty blurry and rushed. It would have been nice to see some more painting and less of that photo blur look. But the amount of grunge you added atleast pulls the character together with a similar style.

Third Place- Platypus_green

Concept (6)- Whomever said that your entry best summarizes what a cyberpunk should look like is absolutly correct. However i think that is the problem, i feel like i have seen your character 100 times 100 different places. The sleekness of it though is very nice, I might have been easier on you if there werent so many other "cyber women" that essentially have the same shape for a character.

Model (10)- An excellent model. The low poly model is good but not amazing. Mainly the face bothered me. But the normal maps are absolutly awesome and I envy the way you managed the highpoly and low poly assets. Her back gear is really awesome. And overal the model is excellent quality.

Textures (9)textures look good you managed to get all the little "cyber lines" flowing in the right spots and overal the texture gets the job done and looks excellent. I think it could have used a little more texture. But its hard to walk the line between a texturfull, yet clean look and you handled it very well.

Honerable mention- Shadowbreeze. I liked your character but the concept seemed discombobulated. Its like a Steampunk Robotcop, Samurai, Raiden. The texture has a lot of detail but again it seemes like everything was pulled from a lot of different sources. The model looks good but the topology just seems kind of sloppy. A valiant attempt though.

Concept (9) - Love the concept, nice style and really great character
Model (9) - Nice, what more can i say :)
Texture (9) - nice colour choices, clean and detailed

Second Place - Klash120 (25)
Concept (8) - To me it has that real steampunky appearance which is what you need
Model (8) - True to your concept and well executed from it
Texture (9) - Really pulls the whole thing together, adds to the whole dated steam feel, well organised and detailed

Third Place - Laughing_Bun (24)
Concept (9) - Great concept something different but still well within the realms of the steampunk world
Model (9) - Clean and efficiant
Texture (6) - Lacking in some details like colour variations and more tones but still looks good on the bot

Alot of great entries this round everyone did fantastic job, i just wish i could have finished but moving sorta throws a spanner in the works, but war time YAY!

Excellent steam punk concept with a really fun model. Plus it has a great old-time cowboy feel.
Really great porportions. I would love to see this in a
game. Any modder out there going to put this model in something?

The steam punk Ninja is a great concept but what kind of stealthy warrior would have jingley rings on his sword and wear a
hat that he couldn't fit through a door? Other than that, beautiful work. Excellent model, texture and normal map.

i know normal mapping can help show alot, but i think there should still be some shading and form made into the textures to help create volume, other than that great workl

1st Place: Platypus Green

Model: 9
Texture: 9
Originality: 6

Nice looking model. The mesh looks stable but the knees look kinda funky. In your winning pose, it looks like there's some artifacts at the knees, but tell me if I'm wrong though. She's a bit too much on the chunky side for my taste but I know that is what your going for. The face needs some work. I really liked the idea of the optic fiber hair but it needs some work. Nevertheless, stable model with a retarded level of detail on the normal. Props on that.

2nd Place: ezik

Model: 9
Texture: 9
Originality: 5

Another nice model. The model is very well modelled and the texture is nice aswell. I'm not too big of a fan of the gun arm though. It too bulky. His fist looks a bit too small aswell. Other than that, I think you did a good job.

3rd Place: ShadowBreeze

Model: 7
Texture: 9
Originality: 5

Nice model, I liked following the updates as the competition went on. Perhaps I should post updates more often. The model is built well but I think the mesh could be a little nicer, the chest for example, I think a loop there would aleivate the blockyness there. The textures are nicely done though.

visanityv20: I like your entry, it has alot of character. It'd be cool if the cannon was a bit more elaborate.

BiG-ToE3DT: Whoa, I never saw that coming. That's a very freaky entry. I wonder what her voice sounds like?

Well, congratulations to those that were able to make it in on time. I'll take note and not start competitions on the week they're due.

By the way, I found it kinda odd that the participants that entered are allowed to vote. Maybe just a comment only policy by entrants can keep the judging fair.

Well now that this is done, it's off to WOR!

Laughing_Bun: "...the textures do look pretty blurry and rushed. It would have been nice to see some more painting and less of that photo blur look....

Interesting how you mentioned 'blurry & rushed', I had a few responses like that as well during other/previous competition :| Been concentrating on sections & ended up handpainting a good amout of it (mainly the Steam pack), The pants & face started as a photo, but ended up being used only for reference. The red/brown armor was in the proces sof being textured :p The lower, rightish corner was rushed though, well, more like "Crap I ran out of time, Hmm ,Ill just drop this image as a filler" :p So, totaled roughly 22+ hours on textures alone :p

Oh, dont think I've mentioned this but, The shadows & shading was baked & hand painted in. Rendered in maya render w/ an ambient light set to 1 intensity & a .1 self shading.

With that said, any one has suggesitons on how to make it better. I can use what comments/critiques towards my model for the Dominance war :3

yoyomon: the knees had that artifact from the shadows. Max can produce some weird ray traced shadows on low poly meshes. you can see the normal mapping for the knees on the texture sheet, just behind/above the letters 'or' of the word 'Normal'. in the mesh and the normal map it's smooth. Might just be the settings I used for the shadows when rendering.

First Place: Platipus_Green
model:9/10 - Great use of polygons.
concept:9/10 - Nice Ghost in the Shell inspired, which is always a good thing.
texture:9/10 - Awesome textures really clean and sharp. Also the normal map helps this one even more... :lurve:

Second Place: Clash-120
model: 8/10 - Nice use of polys.
concept:8/10 - A really different feel from all the other entries, this one has a more believable concept. Reminds me of the characters models for Batallion Wars.
texture: 9/10 - Nice texture style, again reminicent of Batallion Wars.

Third Place: C-dirk
model: 9/10 - Nicely done.
concept: 6/10 - Well this one is a bit of a generic concept, or a more cliched concept. Nothing wrong with that but it reminds me of many other models that look similar to this.
texture: 9/10 - Awesome, the most realistic of all the entries.

Honorable Mentions: Defaltulias (SteamPunk Heartless...), Laughing_Bun (DBZ steam mech), Shadowbreeze (SteamPunk Ninja).

And here is what I wanted to model for this Challenge, but because of school I didnt have the time...yeah even during the break.
