Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 28, 2018 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 28, 2018 The prizes may not be of great use to A:M users and the judging criteria are rather hazy, but a lot of you already have great looking female characters on the shelf that might be dusted off to be worthy entries. https://www.cgtrader.com/challenges/3d-challenge-female-characters#section-awards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted February 28, 2018 Admin Share Posted February 28, 2018 We have more than a few people that can win in this category. I note that it doesn't mention a file format but I would assume at least one copy submitted would need to be OBJ. Some info from the contest: The Female Character challenge is open to all designers, no matter their field: both high poly and low poly models can enter the competition.Submit your female model to the corresponding category: Realistic character (regular women, historical figures, girls, etc., representing various professions, including everyday people) Imaginary character (sci-fi, cartoon, fantasy, stylized, etc.) Submissions deemed to be adult content are not eligible to participate in the contest. I see this as well: Terms & ConditionsIn order to qualify for the prize winnings, you must agree to terms & conditions. Things you must know The Female character challenge will run from the 13th of February to the 15th of May. There is no polygon limit, therefore both high poly and low poly models can compete for the prizes. Submissions deemed to be adult content are not eligible to participate in the contest. Cool renderings are optional but we will definitely consider the presentation of the model when judging.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted February 28, 2018 Although less common, OBJ seems to be a format that has been submitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bigboote Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Can we get an editorial opinion from Jason Simonds on 3D-Coat’s voice ? I've never seen such a thing in CGI circles afore. There is a bit of a snag(disadvantage) using A:M and then submitting an .obj as they bequest... when I open an obj in C4D that I made in A:M, there is considerable rebuilding to get it halfway presentable, and I am sure there would be work to do as well down the line if you opened it in Maya or Houdini or Max... plus the fact that some of the cool A:M features would need to be reinvented altogther or just forgotten- like A:M hair or SSS...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted March 1, 2018 It may be impractical on format grounds, I agree. Yeah, the voice thing is weird. It's like they invented the typewriter and now are worried that someone's writing dirty books with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted March 1, 2018 Admin Share Posted March 1, 2018 an editorial opinion from Jason Simonds on 3D-Coat’s voice ? Eh? This is quite a very old controversy (the 3D coat voice thing). Circa 2007 even. Regarding the OBJ thing... say on. Say on. submitting an .obj as they bequest I didn't see anywhere where OBJ was suggested but I doubt they will easily be able to open native .mdl files. I'd be happy to be wrong in this. Of course perhaps we can include a subscription to A:M along with our entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

largento Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If your entry can't get passed that morality clause, you're probably not getting the point of the contest. :-) They are looking for *female-friendly* female models to encourage young girls to consider the CGI/gaming industry ...not over-sexualized pinups.
