Oltskul · 02-01-2009, 01:00 PM

box of chocholate? you never know, what you get

Noodles · 02-01-2009, 03:17 PM

Something truly low poly, like 3000 max.

roel · 02-01-2009, 03:24 PM

a new animal species?

BiG ToE-3DT · 02-01-2009, 03:46 PM

I think we should do a bust, either human or animal.

Buzzy · 02-01-2009, 05:03 PM

hmmm... it seems to me that a bust would defeat the point of the low-poly challenge. Busts are by definition just show pieces....but low-poly art is all about functionality...so the two kind of clash. I'm not 100% against it though. It could work....but you'd need VERY strict limits, otherwise it wouldn't be low poly....like 1000 tris and 512 textures. A bust with a 5000 tris would, in theory, be attached to a body in the area of 20k....not very low poly at all.

Or, we could do a really specific idea. For example, Demogorgon from the D&D universe. That would have the benefit of being able to easily compare the entries.

I wouldn't mind doing a vehicle either:
Bike - any sort of motorcycle, bicycle, dirt bike, tron cyberbike, unicycle, whatever.
Wagon - any sort of vehicle that would be animal-drawn

Oniram · 02-01-2009, 05:28 PM

how about something like re-creating an old character. like a game character from any of the nintendo 64 or ps1 games. keep the poly count low but allow pretty decent sized textures for a better recreation.

dhin · 02-01-2009, 05:58 PM

I like the bust idea, there are a lot of ways you can go with it and it could be used for like an environment of what ever.

Maybe do something in its various stages of decay / destruction. Like 3 phases: new/perfect, slightly damaged, and mostly destroyed.

Oltskul · 02-01-2009, 08:25 PM

and some Space theme?
but real animal, shoud be realy fine....

FrZnChAoS · 02-01-2009, 09:41 PM

pick a single major game franchise (metal gear, WoW, zelda, final fantasy, etc), artists must create a character/monster that fits the theme/style of the series/genre. would make entries more easily comparable.

MattColes · 03-01-2009, 12:26 AM

Vampires in modern day?

silverflame · 03-01-2009, 12:11 PM

Self portrait then it would be easy to get source material and to compare accuracy

Oniram · 03-01-2009, 08:00 PM

self portrait seems cool.

revanto · 04-01-2009, 12:38 AM

How about something damaged? Meaning that instead of having something in new condition, have a model in a decayed or destroyed state. It's a good test of low poly skill.

omnicypher · 04-01-2009, 04:32 PM

self portrait with a robotic limb would be cool, or the three stages of decay environment would be fun as well.
