Hello,
this is my first time in 3dtotal forum. I'm animator and I really would like to participate in this contest.

I have a question maybe someone can help me.

In animation contest he already have chars to choose, we have to rig them?
We can ask to someone to rig them? how it works?

Thanks in advance!

You would need to pick from the characters listed under the animation section of the brief. Then, you would need to rig them for the animation, not someone else.

so we do everything, sketch, modeling, rigging, animation, and a story?

[independhans]

to face a choice, Since it is unlimited polycount I am tempted to go with Skeleton Hero, Service the King

Monsters a-o
Monsters o-z

if you are doing the 2d part of the challenge, you will just do what is required for 2d. If you choose to do the 3d part, then you can do a concept, but you do not have to, rigging and posing the model is up to you. For animation, you would need to rigg the model and then animate. No concept needed for the animation part.

Each part of the challenge is it's own challenge. You don't need to do all to enter.

Hi guys. I am new to the forums but was shown the competition by a friend and I would really like to give it a stab. I've not done anything like this before, is there some sort of skill level requirement? I am looking to use this to push my abilities and basically make something showreel worthy. Most of my stuff is pretty stylised so I would like to push the realism aspect of this. Also how much can we help out one another as a team?

Thanks.

Alright I'm going with this

There is no skill level requirement, when it comes to teams. There are none. You work on this alone. But, people can "help", by pointing out errors, giving tips on how to do something, etc. Someone else just can't be the person making the changes for you.

Thanks for getting back to me. I am thinking about maybe doing a female protoss dark templar, 3D challenge. Still thinking on it though.

Waiting for Toe to man up and join the challenge....

I've never played any of these games, so I have no idea what a playable character, or npc is.

[independhans]

Just need to commit to one Idea, i have dismissed about 7.
Medic -> make no sense to make it to hero I think.
dragonic mechanic is unique it is called in hearthstone it is Mr. Bitey.

Skeletons are to universal.

Ironforge Dwarf -> Armored better faster

Defender of Argus is so much armored can it be topped?

So far I have a few Idea base on
Gnome Agent Engineers Ghost,
Maybe Banshee -> Time Travel Machine.
Should be a little bigger would a little crew to do time jumps Battlecruiser?
Also High on my list was Rouge from Diablo 2, as well Necromancer

It is irrelevant the Rules are update you can couse Playable characters, but where are already many ideas used on that characters.

You can just not use a Unique untits that have a Name like the Ghost Nova.
