Thread Naming: Your Name – Goofy Gun
Keep all questions in this thread
Something BIG is headed for 3dTotal, something unspeakable, something so disgustingly grotesque that words can’t do it justice, but I’ll try and talk about it anyway. A plague of other worldly creatures with one goal in mind. That goal, to eat our internet. And if that wasn’t bad enough, it turns out our normal weapons don’t work on these, “things”. Not even the redeemer from Unreal Tournament 2009 can scratch these things. What will we do? I got an idea, so crazy it just might work.
It’s time we thought outside the box, outside the conventional and create our own weapons. But not just any weapon. These weapons need to be goofy. The goofier, the better. See, the idea is, they have been bread to with-stand the weapons of today. So let’s hit them with some weapons of tomorrow. Get your slim throwers, your booger busters, and your fart bombers ready. We about to get our hands dirty.
Judging:
You will pick what you believe is the top 3 entries. First place gets 3 points, 2nd place 2 points, 3rd place 1 point. The person with the most points when the voting is over wins. Remember, if an entry does not fill the requirements, do not vote for them.
DUE DATE: September 27th, 2 weeks and a few days from today! 11:59 pm GMT - SUNDAY
Idea:
Create a goofy weapon, something so goofy you would need to ask yourself, “why would someone need that?”.
Poly limit:
1,000 Tris Total. You can do whatever you want with these, just don’t get carried away and don’t exceed the 1,000 Tri Limit. Remember, the limit tells you where to stop, there is no minimum, so use as much of the limit as you see fit.
Textures:
(1) 512 x 512 texture. This means (1) 512 for color, (1) 512 opacity (1) 512 spec and that’s it. That is all the texture you need. You can chop it up into whatever you want, but you still need to go all out in your texture.
Textures can be hand-painted or you can use photographic sources. Do what you do.
Pedestals/Stands:
You do not have to create one, but if you do, understand that there is no texture or tri limit. You can go as crazy as you want, or keep it basic.
Final Pictures:
Required In The Final Post (1 post per entry):
- 1 x Winning shot. This image should consist of your weapon depicted in its most awesome angle.
- 1 x Beauty shot of your weapon. Feel free to put multiple angles of your weapon or just one big version or your weapon 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 wire frame shot of your weapon. Feel free to put multiple wire frame 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 (if you have one)
A Final Entry Thread will be up and waiting for you. Don’t forget to submit your work by posting it in the final thread.
Good luck everyone!
