The Award System

Tom-3DT · 10-04-2008, 06:44 PM

It's nearly ready! http://forums.3dtotal.com/awards.php but it's not quite ready yet! So don't go requesting awards until I say so!

I think we will allow backdated awards for challenge winners for any challenges started in 2008. Combine this with the awards for having 100+ posts then a lot of people should be able to request something right from the word go.

Once you have requested the award, it will be approved and will apear under your avatar within about 24-48 hours.

I would like some renders of the actual trophys these icons could represent, these will be still shown as small graphics and will be featured on the forum frontpage inbetween the two logos at the top of the page. So is anyone willing to have a go at these for me? The final renders need to be about 100 pixels tall, 75 wide with alpha channels, and shiney, gold, silver and bronze photoreal trophy versions of what these icons represent.

Many thanks

Tom

Just added a concept of what we need here http://forums.3dtotal.com/awards.php
Look at the "Threedy Top Poster - Silver" award image.

I think maybe the base could be smaller, maybe round etc, giving more room for the actual award part. The same base could then be re-used for each render.

We are so busy here and have put a lot of time into setting this up already so we really need some help with this last hurdle, as payment, we will throw in a full set of Total Textures too worth $800 and ship them to anywhere in the world!

If this means more than 1 person now wants this little job then people will have to post a single trophy render here and we will choose the artist to proceed with the full set.

Thanks!

Tom

You do something good, you get an award! It appears under your avatar (like the 2 I currently have)

There's lots of extra features like the awards page keeps a record of who has what, you can request them yourself from this page and it auto PM's us, go to the awards page and it will come a lot clearer.

You can't sell them on ebay afterwards.

So, for example... anyone who got first, second or third place in the Stylized Challenges will managed to get an award?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but it's out of curiosity.

ClassicGamer-3DT · 11-04-2008, 04:23 PM

I'll give the trophies are try Tom, i'll post a test render of a gold trophy in a little while

I'd imagine with all those texture cd's on offer I won't be alone lol, but I've wanted all of those cd's for ages now and because i'm a mod I can't win them anymore, I've gotta try at least

Here's a quickie then, nothing special.

Tell me what you think

Threedy Top Poster - Gold

ClassicGamer-3DT · 11-04-2008, 05:18 PM

and the larger size render. I know it's rubbish innit, if you'd like something better I can do it, I've only done this one, instead of creating the entire set of award mini renders and then being told "thanks but no thanks lol

Correct, this applies for all future challenges and we will backdate awards for challenges that started in 2008 only. You can apply for them (by clicking 'request award' on the awards page) but not yet! when we say go, you can all bombard us then!
