Army Of One

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Game Art Challenge 02
Subject – Army Of One




Thread Naming: Your Name – Army Of One – Character’s Name
Keep all questions in this thread

When worlds draw closer to their ends, countries are reduced to mere shadows of their former selves. Their militaries disintegrate, leaving every man, woman and child in a toss up for their very survival. But your different, you understand that your everyday life has changed, but wars, they stay strong. Nothing is like what it used to be. Death is common place these days, but in these trying times you must fend for yourself. You watch your own back because you can’t trust anybody to do it for you. You do what is needed to survive. You deal with any and everyone brazen enough to confront you and like a scavenger; you take their items that may be useful, stocking pilling your own armory. You do what’s needed; you are an Army Of One.

DUE DATE: January 3rd, 11:59 pm GMT - SUNDAY

Idea:

Create and model an Army Of One. Time period is open; person must be human, male or female. Use of technology is ok but no full on robots allowed.

Poly limit:
10,000 Tris Total. You can do whatever you want with these, just don’t get carried away and don’t exceed the 10,000 Tri Limit. Remember, the limit tells you where to stop, there is no minimum, so use as much of the limit as you see fit.

Textures:

-1 x 2048 Color Map
-1 x 2048 Reflection Map
-1 x 2048 Specular Map
-1 x 2048 Specular Color Map
-1 x 2048 Normal Map
-1 x 2048 Bump Map
-1 x 2048 Opacity (transparency) Map
-1 x 2048 Glow map
-1 x 2048 Glossiness map.

You can not chop it up into multiple smaller textures.

Textures can be hand-painted or you can use photographic sources. Do what you do.


Pedestals/Stands:
You do not have to create one, but if you do, understand that there is no texture or tri limit. You can go as crazy as you want, or keep it basic.

-2-sided polies with two separate uv channels are permitted.

-Joint entries are prohibited for this challenge

I'm glad it started now. Thought it's gonna be after the results of previous challenge

[ChaosDragonDZ]

i'm in; once my break from school starts

[VinsanityV20]

Oh nice - I can't remember the last time they started up a new game art comp before they polls were closed for the last one I think I might join this one, though I'm undecided right now - don't wanna promise anything just yet...

[dark_maggot]

Man this sounds so cool, I have to find time to do something for this.

Cheers.

[Mr.fE]

This is gonna be my first challenge!! I'm in!!

[RedFlames]

by 'game art' and 'All Game Engines are allowed' does this mean the model has to be shown in a game engine or are you just after the model?

I'll try and get involved with this... i just wanted to be clear on the above...

I guess game art refers to the model being limited in its poly/tri count (10,000 Tris) and "all game engines allowed" is just to give you the freedom to render your images on it if you so choose to, but its not required you can use any software of your liking for this.

hope this helps

Couldn't someone make the main character in "The Road"? Would be an excellent subject. (according to me)

[dhin]

looks like a fun one... now just to find the time to do it.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

look under the rock.

[dhin]

I'm at work and not working now because of you. I'm blaming 3DT if I get fired.

So many ideas!!!
