ludo_si Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 hello, I find it interesting to work on contests. it enables progress, discover software functions. Also, I suggest (even if there is no price) to work on competition. I propose as super heroes characters. could be the first Tor. It can work on hair and fabrics for the cape. which would be very interesting would be to make timelapse or tutorials for anyone who wants to share his technique. what do you think.

Admin Rodney Posted April 22, 2015 Admin Share Posted April 22, 2015 I assume you mean 'Tar' as in Will Sutton's 'Tar of Zandoria'? I'm guessing we may have a character contest (usually referred to as a Mascot contest) coming up soon as we are overdue for one of those. That topic isn't generally limited to heroes though.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 22, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 22, 2015 We should have a contest of some sort. Something summery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludo_si Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 No, i don't think about Tar but Tor, the hero from marvel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted April 23, 2015 Admin Share Posted April 23, 2015 No, i don't think about Tar but Tor, the hero from marvel. Hmmm. I'm aware of a Tor from DC comics but he's not in the superhero genre. Perhaps you mean Thor (of Asgard). He's a Marvel superhero. Perhaps he's known as Tor where you're from.

ludo_si Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 oh yes, I forgot the H Thor. I am ashamed lol. I thought this superhero. First because it's a character. Second, the hair can be used for simcloth cape. And many other techniques. Why a contest, just because it is exciting to work together on the same project. the spelling checker on my tablet. and it's more a problem than a benefit. that's why there was a mistake in the name. i speak french. I use google translate to communicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted April 23, 2015 Admin Share Posted April 23, 2015 For what it's worth... I like the idea of a superhero contest. One focusing on the interpretation of a specific character would be nice as well. Is there a particular reason it needs to be a contest though? I'm not suggesting it can't be a contest but it could also just be a challenge you start in a WIP topic. Like... "I challenge thee to create the ultimate Thor... and document the journey along the way." Folks will either play or they will watch from the sidelines. It'd be interesting to see the various approaches folks would take to the character. And since Thor isn't exactly a Marvel character exclusively... folks could be pretty broad in their interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 24, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted April 24, 2015 I was previously thinking of an image contest with a summer theme like "flower" or something similarly narrowly focused so that people can vote for a \favorite without feeling they are choosing between apples and oranges. If we do an image contest i will donate some prize for the top ten entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludo_si Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 The idea is to mistrust between people who want it. Working around the same subject would be Thor. In fact, it's just for fun; to put some time in competition or challenge in time, it is stimulating. and then it makes you want to use the tools and sometimes discover others. I love that. and if the players explain some technical or do timelapses, they can show their technique to everyone with Master Animation.

blixien Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Contest I'm in... even if it's flower's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Roger Posted May 17, 2015 *A:M User* Share Posted May 17, 2015 I would do a flower. I'm not sure my splining is up to snuff for a recognizable Thor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 17, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 17, 2015 How about "insect" ? Realistic, cartoony, stylized... anything as long as it's an insect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Roger Posted May 18, 2015 *A:M User* Share Posted May 18, 2015 Sure, an insect is good too. Lots of potential there, since there are so many types. That would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted May 19, 2015 Admin Share Posted May 19, 2015 I like the idea of modeling insects. (Ludo could even model one as Thor) Here's the real underlying question though... how do we get from talking about having these contests and actually having them. We need a system that launches these things quickly so people can get busy and join in. So a related question might be, 'does it have to be a contest?' Can someone just post a topic and say, "Have at thee foul foe.. I will now model an insect and I know for a fact you shall not model one better than me!" (Say that in a Marcos (Xtaz) Rezende winner take all voice!) Contests do have some things attached to them that typical challenges do not... prizes for instance. Bragging rights. Fame. Immortality. Perhaps winners of topic challenges could be eligible for later/formal voting? Perhaps the winners of the challenges could be determined by a simple forum poll? How can we make this work?

blixien Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Insects, flower's I can see a garden theme Xtaz has already won it. But it will still be fun and there's still room for Thor's flower box big nasty scary bug's I bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 19, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 19, 2015 How can we make this work? Rodney, how about if I just go ahead declare a contest, provide some prizes and set the rules. Then we'll have a contest. Would that be do?

Admin Rodney Posted May 19, 2015 Admin Share Posted May 19, 2015 Rodney, how about if I just go ahead declare a contest, provide some prizes and set the rules. Then we'll have a contest. Would that be do? I was thinking more long term and in perpetuity... establishing a framework for continuing contests rather than a one off contest where we'll end up going through the same process later... but sure, if you want to start a contest... have at it. My concern is that where there is no framework for contests... um... er... there is no framework for contests. Are you looking to be 'the contest guy' or just planning to run this one contest? I ask because a confirmation of the former would allow everyone to point at you and say... talk to that guy. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 19, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think it's time for at least a one-off contest and when there's another one later... it won't be a one-off anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtaz Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 As I said before, nothing better than a contest as rust removal.....Let's do it... I'm in(sect) !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
