Weapons Of Dominance

Weapons Of Dominance

The idea here is to create an ultimate weapon, one so powerful it can’t help but win a war. One so great, the mere mention of it’s name causes the enemy to surrender. One so horrendous, the wielder has to crazy to even try to use it.

Limits / Restrictions:

I’m thinking we can go two ways with this one:

1. All out, no limits. Unlimited tris, unlimited textures, render however you want.

or

2. 4,000 tri limit, 1 (2048x2048) texture sheet (diffuse, spec, normal, blah, blah, blah) viewport renders a must(first person shooter point of view), render engines just for fun. Moving parts would be nice too.

DUE DATE: Feb 20th 11:59pm GMT

Final Entry Thread will be up the week before the deadline

Keep all work in progree in this thread

just a mere thought about these weapons send shivers down my spine

Is it going to be judged? We can throw t-shirt prizes into the mix

I suggest doing poly and texture limit. Give artist some guideline to work with.

and also... A Feb 20th deadline might be too long for a weapon. Maybe half can be weapon half is armor. Just a thought.

the good news is, you get to pick which way you want to go with this. The time line is set up so, if you want to enter both the game art and the concept art portions, you can.

Draw up something, then model it.

You can also just make this a Low Poly Game Art challenge and get one of those fancy joystick controller medals.

tsabszy · 12-01-2011, 06:32 AM

seems like an awsome contest

i hope i can come up with some useful idea and join it..

poopipe · 12-01-2011, 08:53 AM

give us 6k ?

presumably any projectiles etc, would need to be included in the poly/texture limits

and..

i imagine you'd only need to include one of each unique projectile in that limit (ie. if you feature 10 identical (instanced) bullets in your beauty shots you'd only have count one in your poly/texture limit?

did that make sense?

The Prime: roflamo

poopipe: I think 6k is under the line of "no limit", which is the first option of the two. Let me know if I'm mistaken
