Thread Naming: Your Name – The Slayer – Character’s Name
Keep all questions in this thread
Before bed every night when I was young I was told a fairytale about a creature of unthinkable power and the man that conquered it. If I remember correctly the story ends with the creature being sealed away inside of a magical book and the warrior who defeated the creature being sealed in a similar book. This brings us to the present, seems like every time peace consumes the universe someone goes and screws it all up. Today is no different. The bad news, the books are real and the creature has been released. It wastes no time destroying the very book that kept it confined for over the centuries. Now, the world needs someone to step up and put this creature down.
It’s time to release the Slayer.
DUE DATE: November 30th, 11:59 pm GMT - MONDAY
Idea:
Create and model a character who appears to be a Slayer of Mythical Beasts. Time period is open, Slayer can be alien, male or female. Use of technology is ok but no full on robots allowed.
Poly limit:
10,000 Tris Total. You can do whatever you want with these, just don’t get carried away and don’t exceed the 10,000 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 x 2048 Color Map
-1 x 2048 Reflection Map
-1 x 2048 Specular Map
-1 x 2048 Specular Color Map
-1 x 2048 Normal Map
-1 x 2048 Bump Map
-1 x 2048 Opacity (transparency) Map
-1 x 2048 Glow map
-1 x 2048 Glossiness map.
You can not chop it up into multiple smaller textures.
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.
Resrictions:
-2-sided polies with two separate uv channels are permitted.
-Joint entries are prohibited for this challenge
-Your entry must be specifically created for this challenge. Do not use any pieces from previous personal works.
-There are no lighting restrictions.
-All Game Engines are allowed.
Judging:
