Speed Modelling Challenge 146 & 147 - Role Playing Game Scene

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

1, Each week we'll post a subject for you to model along with a time limit on how long you should spend on it. Spend no longer than the allocated time then post a render of your model. No cheating, we are relying on your honesty here and the idea of speed modeling is to simulate a "real world" environment. If you are working on a project and asked to show a concept model you'll need to be able to get somewhere near the target in the allocated time. Your submission should be a model created especially for this challenge and not one you have stored on your hard drive.

How you interpret the brief is up to you as long as the final model conforms to what we have asked for. Any images of models that do not match the brief will be removed and the poster disqualified.

2, You may enter as many times as you like as long as each model is completely new and uses no components from other entries. Entries using models which are not original will be removed and the poster disqualified.

3, Your entry may contain as many views of your model as you like but it must include a clear and easy to see wire frame of the mesh before any smoothing/subdivision has been applied. Please use a screen grab. No other method is acceptable and any "wire renders" or wireframes we can't see properly will be removed and the poster disqualified.

4, You must include the following details with each submission: software used and time spent creating the model. Any further information is voluntary but posts not containing the required information will be removed and the poster disqualified.

5, Post only one image submission per entry which must be no larger than 800x600 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 100k. These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images files. Larger than the maximum size or posts containing links to external images (other than for reference materials) will be removed and the poster disqualified. Until the image uploading issue is solved, you may use a file hosting service to compete in the challenge... but the image and file size requirements remain intact.

6, The creation of displacement maps, normal maps and any splines drawn out in an external program other than your modeling software are to be included in your modeling time.

7, Time spent on rendering or texturing or building a scene in which to display your model is not included in the allocated period to allow those with slower machines to participate on an even playing field. What we are looking for is the quality of the models you can produce "under pressure". If your model is not complete, you can still post as long as it's recognizable.

8, Posting the same entry twice in a challenge will result in a disqualification. When asked to fix a previous post due to DQ or any other reason, you must fix the first post, or delete it altogether and create a new one.

These rules apply to everybody taking part there will be NO exceptions

Time limit - 120 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 2nd of May 2007
Subject - Role Playing Game Scene


Role Playing Game Scene: The goal here, is to create a 3d representation of a scene from any game classified as a role-playing game. For example, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Fable, The Elder Scrolls, Dragon Warrior, Suikoden, and games that run in that genre are what we are going for. First Person Shooters, Sports Games, Racing Games and the like are not included and the poster of them shall be disqualified. This is for scenes only, however, if you want to throw in props, such as characters, weapons, etc... they will be judged as part of the scene.

I hope you like the entry I made for you. I hope its not too dark.

Wow, well Marty you said you'd make it up to me in the new challenge and you have!

And it's a double whammy too, not only do we get to model a role playing game scene, but we get 120 mins too!!!

Rashika-3DT, welcome back, i've not seen anything from you for a while, and a brilliant starter too, very nice archicetural scene.

I hope we'll see a starter from you Marty too?

Definately in on this one. Great SMC idea

Kind Regards

Classic Gamer

P.S - Off to research now.........

EDIT: Somethings just occurred to me, 120 mins is a really large amount of time for a modeller like me now, I'm so used to modelling something in 60 mins, that i'm gonn be able to model such a lot more! I'm really excited about the pictures i've seen of Suikoden 3, i'm going to try on of those scene for my first entry without a doubt

[mr_lemon]

oh man...that's awesome...really hope to have the time to be in!

[3dfernando]

Or is it me?

[h2k1]

thats pretty nice, nice entry, even if im not a real rpg gamer...im gonna try it, have some games in mind...

i only want to know, games as Warcraft, Starcraft, Command & Conquer...count?

[sarN]

no, those are RTS (real time strategy) not RPG (role playing game)

i call chrono trigger!

[h2k1]

From Wikipedia : Warcraft III is primarily a real-time strategy game, but it strongly blends CRPG elements into its gameplay.

Wicked Subject.

World of Warcraft fits the bill.

As does:

Ultima Online
Dark Age of Camelot
Everquest
Shadowbane ( my personal favorite )
Vanguard
Lineage
Star Wars
Eve Online

to name but a few of the online variants.

For a more exhaustive list go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MMORPGs

Then, of course, you have the traditional ones. In the spirit of Dungeons and Dragons, Rifts, Robotech and the like.

A comprehensive list of these are found here:

[h2k1]

oh yeah, im gonna try it...maybe not WoW, looks too hard for me, i can do something like that in Vue5, but im not sure that counts as an entry? would it be Marty? But i have some entries in mind, hope to make something, ill start tomorrow, still have another exam...

btw, i never liked RPG games, i just dont like talking to everyone in the village...i like more action, i played once Oblivion, I deleted 10 minutes after, hehe...i like better FPS, i love that...

thats all, hope to see some entries from all of you!
