June 2008 - The end of the Stylised Challenge... For now!

Lynette-3dt · 02-06-2008, 02:43 PM

Hello Guys and Gals,

This message comes to you all with some sadness I'm afraid, as we have decided to stop the 3D Stylised Challenge for the time being. It has had a good year and a half run in the Threedy forums, and in 3DCreative magazine of course, and the Caveman Making Ofs and Carnivorous Plant Top Ten images and Top Three Making Ofs will all still be featured in 3DCreative magazine's upcoming issues, but I'm afraid we're going to stop them running from now onwards... That is until we can come with an even better, brand spanking new series of challenges for you all!

In the meantime, the speed sculpting challenges are amazing us all so please get involved in those and in the other challenges on the Threedy forums... and for those of you who also dabble with 2D artwork then we're still running the 2D side of the Stylised Challenges over on ConceptArt.org, until we find a suitable new and exciting series to take those over!

We'll be featuring the Speed Sculpting Challenge results - and hopefully "Making Ofs", too - in future issues of 3DCreative magazine, so be sure to get involved in the speed sculpting challenges for more prizes and exposure until we come back with a new series of challenges for you! I will look out for you all over in the Speed Sculpting Challenge.

Well, finally, it has been a pleasure chatting to you all and getting to know you all throughout these challenges, but this is not the end I promise!! We will be back with more challenging fun for you again soon, so hold tight and be sure to keep in touch with the friends you have all made throughout the life of the Stylised Challenge on Threedy...

I'll see you around the forums! Thanks for all your support and kindness over the past year and a half - we couldn't have run these challenges without the continued support that you all give us! Thank you!!

Lynette

Awww! That is sad. Anyway possible to run a just for fun Stylized challenge while real one is in LIMBO?

Ohh! Bad news. It was always a great pleassure and inspiration to watch these guys competing.
Cheers

Let's throw a viking funeral for the SC's...

Like penguins, I've joined the forum because of these challenges, so it's with a heavy heart that I see them end, even if it's for a period only.

Ugga!

Hey guys, I've had a chat with the team but we're not going to run the Stylised Challenges just for fun in the meantime, as our time needs to be devoted elsewhere at the moment. We obviously can't stop you running your own 'just for fun' challenges, but we wouldn't be able to get involved in them (and from past experiences challenges can become troublesome if they're run by the forums users alone), so I'm sorry for the bad news.

Enjoy the last part of the Carnivorous Plant one - it's been an excellent challenge to see the end of the series, thanks everyone!

sadddddddd.......realy sad.............just when I started to participate.......but that's ok..........hope it come back soon............and see you guys on the others thread......

Nocturn8 · 03-06-2008, 02:35 PM

sadness enveloped me...but there is nothing permanent in this world except for change. I do believe that the 3dtotal team will come up with something even better and whenever that will come, i believe it's worth the wait.

chubu · 03-06-2008, 02:51 PM
