Gift to the Gods - The Gods Must Be Binary - TNTxGRAVE

I am just doing this for fun. I am not sure if I will have the time to finish this and submit something on due date but I figured I should throw my 2 cents into the mix. I will update as often as I can.

Here is the cliff notes version of my idea...
In a super advanced technological world, computer data has become divine. Binary code has become the backbone and life-line of civilization. The greatest gift and sacrifice a person can make is to convert their body, mind and soul into raw computer data.

I just sat down and started modeling. All I know is that I want to do something bio-mechanical. My organic modeling is seriously lacking and I would like to work on that. I am still just fleshing out ideas and dumping them into this model. Don't be surprised if at some point I scrap the model and start all over while keeping the same idea...I tend to do that...lol

Thanks wargrafix I figured i'd go with a sacrifice as opposed to an alter or monument. I figured humans sacrificing themselves for something THEY created was cruel and ironic.

Great idea, kinda like the ultimate matrix where body and soul are blending to raw data . Really nice start already, this has got soo much potential, best of luck and even if you don't finish you've at least had fun doing it which is half the fun in my opinion

Lol i agree chunkymunky. Thats why I love competing here on "3D Total" (insert name plug). Seems like all of you guys are much more light hearted and just easy going. The competitors (you all) seem to just have fun with these competitions by encouraging, and helping out one another. Unlike some other forum sites (will remain un-named), where everyone seems soo uptight and full of themselves. They take competitions WAAAAYYYY too seriously, when its supposed to just be a fun learning experience.

So I switched over, besides I am just hoping to one day score an official 3D Total T-Shirt... so I can wear it to bed...lol

Thank you MightyMeg I think I am starting to get a clear idea of which direction to take this project in. I am going to be making some significant changes to the model within the next few days.

Thanks stoneking. I will try my hardest to finish this. Its just that I have alot on my plate right now. Between working freelance, an 8hr a day 3d modeling job for a simulation lab, a side project with other industry pros, and finally being a 3d illustrator of a comic book studio. I will dedicate whatever free time i have to working on this model.

BTW i am using 3D Studio Max 2010 and plan on using ZBrush 3.5 for some finer details.
