ALL WIPS AND CONCEPTS ARE TO BE KEPT IN THIS THREAD.

With the way the word’s economy is these days, everyone is getting fired and in need of a new job. No one is safe, and that includes the creatures created by Jim Henson. Big bird, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Miss Piggy, Kermit. They all need jobs. Willing do to anything for money, theses desperate one time child heroes of the television need your assistance. If you know of an occupation ideal for one of these down in the dumps clumps of fur and stuffing, please speak up. Anything is better than nothing. Don’t hold back, keep in mind, these leaders in learning are used to having hands up their butts, so nothing is beneath them.

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: July 12th, 5 weeks and a few days from today! 11:59 pm GMT - SUNDAY

Idea:
Take a Jim Henson creation and give them a job. This job should fit the characters personality. So keep that in mind when choosing.

Poly limit:
6,000 Tris Total. You can do whatever you want with these, just don’t get carried away and don’t exceed the 6,000 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:
(2) 1024 x 1024 texture. This means (2) 1024 for color, (2) 1024 for bump, (2) 1024 for normal, (2) 1024 opacity, so on and so forth. 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.
