[Oblio]

Hello and welcome to the 3D & SCULP challenge VOTING.


CHECK OUT ROUND ONE (if you haven't)
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=81432

For the 2nd round - we went easy - and maybe you thought it's not challenging enough. I am glad we have such strong players around - but i'm sure the ones who did join this - had a lot of fun.


THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING AND FOR YOUR EFFORTS.
COngratulations to people who did both stages of the challege - concept and 3D - Mike and Vampire_Ninja come to mind.
A big hand goes to the people who couldn't finish... i know time is not easy on any of us. Hope to see you around and to see you finished stuff.
Thanks go to the CHOW crowd.. i hope they will be here more often to give you a hand.. and i hope you guys will give the the harsh feedback - there where it's needed. Building orthos it's not easy.

Now... i was thinking on how to split the poll.. into Sculpt, 3DHIgh Poly, Low poly etc... but in the end... i think itss all a matter of how we represent the ortho.
A low poly.. seems easy.. but we all know that normal maps these days... are drifting the poly barrier in terms of detail. Surely.. holding a sculpt in your hand and looking over details has no replacement in a digital world. The picture of a sculp should be no match for a great render. The highres guys have all the lights, materials and the freedome of the 3D tools - yet their job is hard like hell.
All in all - we all have fun building in 3D.
I consider we all know the diferences between mediums. We all have our own preferencers and theories.
(next round will me more tech - and i fear the sculpt guys might have a hard time with it. we try to cover all the areas and to offer a lot of different concepts for everyone. the challenges will remain open - you can always go back and try your hand of something - just make sure you let us know by posting yor stuff.)

The voting allows multiple choices, and it's public.
DON'T VOTE FOR YOUR SELF!
Apart from that... fell free to value the works as you see fit.
The new round is on.. it's easyer, and it should be fun. We haev some crazy orthos this time... so.. BRING IT ON.
Dont; be shy.. ask the ortho guy about anything.
Let's rock this place!

TOPIC:
DESIGNER TOY

later we will have the concepts from COW, IDW and even... EOW.
feedback is always welcome!

NOTES:
Before we roll the orthos i will kindly ask you to consider upploading your 3d files to the website along with the render.
the ideea is - we can use the models for other activities - texture challnege, light & shader, animation, etc
This is optional!

For the Sculptors:
If you want you can send the sculpt to the artist who did the ortho. I ma sure they will be so happy to see touch their concept for the 1st time.
It will motivate a lot of people to submit concepts and it will help up all along in the long run. Again.. this is optional!

Winner of the 2nd round! Congratulations!

[Oblio]

i love them all :) they should be made toys!!! to have them on my desk at work :)

vampire ninja 3d - the shoulder area is a bit.. too big.

Mike - concpet was not too pretty but you knew what you can do in 3D. Step by the chow and sharpen your 2D man. It will help you in ZB.

Garyo - finish it man. Make the monkey people proud! It's looking great so far.


DexterMcSpice - you know you nailed great. Some of the mouth corners feel like need more tension - but i love the whole thing. Tongue rules :) I realy admire when 3D goes beyond the 2D .. in a good way :)


taintedwumpus - man.. the poze is DOPE! Expressiona and all. Just as above - i LOVE when 3D goes beyond the 2D .. in a good way :)

Silvy - you made a lovely character out of the crappy drawing that i did. It was SO cool to work with you on this.


Giakama - man.. welcome to Conceptart.org :) Awsome entry - i think it lacks a bit of the structure underneeth - you went straight for the ZB thing without a previously built model.. seems a bit (i repeat - A BIT ) fluffy. Never the less... TOP PIECE!!! Hands down.

CAT - man... no crit here. make plastic copies and sell it as a designer toy - talk with redehlert and share the profit. or donate it to CA :) put it on CA shop and support the comunity. hell - this shoould be on for all the pieces we did here.
ok - back to bed with me - a terrible cold took me down - sorry for the delay in setting up the poll.
Next topic will be announce shortly - FLIP is working on it.
it's some goodie from IDW (Industrial Design of the Week)

edit - i added my vote to silvi too. (it soednt show but.. its me :) )

[Supervlieg]

Great work guys, especially Dexter. Great translation into 3d.

I hope to see that monkey finished! Looks like a great start so far.

[Cat]

Thanks for the comment Oblio, i was wondering why i didn't get any crits last time, it's very motivating!! Can't wait to start the next round, i'm definitely gonna try!

Thanks for the votes too :blahblah:

[Garyo]

Oh, I'm going to finish the Monkey. *EDIT* Cloooooooooooser. Ears. Done. Arms... One mostly down and one to go :) No monkeys tomorrow, just Turkeys. Pictures this time.
