The Weapon - Page 4

May we create a new personal thread for every wip? Or it is one thread for each user, and there he must post all his/her wips of different weapons?

ClassicGamer-3DT · 03-11-2009, 10:47 AM

does nodoby read the messages above this one lol.

You create one single thread the same as rocneasta has done in the forum section before this thread, this thread is a sticky thread.

You name your thread SMC M#01 - Your Name - Legendary Weapon - Name Of Your Weapon

and you place ALL of your work in progress entry(s).

I'm sorry CG. We're all still dazed and confused XD.

I guess I've been too much time away from 3d forums

. Never again.

I think it got asked already somewhere else, but I couldnt find the answer.
Will the final images be only rated on the modeling part, or the whole package including texturing and lighting?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Also what is the deal with normal maps and sculpting programs. Can you create a model, spend 5 hours in zbrush making normal maps? Are displacement maps allowed? I remember the rules before the awesomeness came said it counts as modeling time, but can't seem to find anything about it now.

Thanks

ClassicGamer-3DT · 03-11-2009, 08:48 PM

As sculpting is a form of modelling, it will count in the modelling time even if it's only used as displacement/normal maps/texturing. The whole idea of Speed Modelling is to model something in the preferred modelling software package of your choice. But if you want to add detailing with Z Brush/Mudbox you can do, but try model the majority of the entry normally ok.

The final images will indeed be judged on texturing, lighting, modelling etc etc as this is a much different kind of SMC with much bigger prizes than before.

Thanks for the speedy replay CG. These challenges are truly going to be amazing. All the awesome weaponry and all. As for the modeling, I completely agree. What about stock textures, such as off of the 3dtotal CDs? Will the normal maps be allowed there?

Thanks!

ClassicGamer-3DT · 04-11-2009, 11:39 AM

Yeah stock normal maps are fine, it's only if you have created them from scratch in a sculpting program etc then you need to include it into your timeframe.

How are you doing mates to count the time? I mean, you have a chronometer and if you have to go to the toilet(for example) you pause it? because 120 minutes is long time, it is almost impossible that someone don't interrupts you while working, or an "emergency" could even happen.

CG, I am really sorry, but I noticed now that I forgot to put - Legendary weapon - in my thread, instead I put SCM M#01 - Pables- Ancient Moon..and I can't now edit the title. I don't know how imporntant this is, if you don't mind changing it... I promise will not happen once again.

pables · 04-11-2009, 08:37 PM

Thanks, I use a chrono, I just want to know if you do the same way, just curiosity

hammering3D · 04-11-2009, 08:39 PM

yes, I personally use from long time a stopwatch for windows when I join SMC

ClassicGamer-3DT · 05-11-2009, 10:53 AM

Just to let you know I may be offline a little bit more at the moment, yesterday afternoon I had two teeth removed from the left hand side of the mouth, and it really hurt, i'm ok now if a little sore and having to eat very little on the opposite side of my mouth. Pretty bad timing really as it's my birthday tommorow (6th) and my 30th at that! I've not really had the best year this year i'm not 30 until 1.15pm tommorow and i've already lost one toe and two teeth lol! But i'm on painkillers and they are working a treat, but i'm resting alot too, I'll try to keep visiting as often as I can. But I hope you understand if i'm not around often. It's going to be plenty of soups/ice cream/mashed potatoes for a couple of weeks I think.

Cheers
