Alright so I've been asked to host the next 3D contest and I've gladly accepted. Before we start off though, I just wanted to get a bit of feed back from people too see exactly what style of contest we should have. By that I mean, Should we stick with the original style where we just tell you a theme and you do something in that category or should we change it up a bit.

What I was thinking of is maybe trying a new approach to these contests. Here me out if you will.

A couple ideas in my head were to try and touch different parts of 3D so that we can make the contest more of a learning experience.

I was thinking maybe one of the things we could do is. I give you a scene already and you guys texture it and light it how ever you want. You could also add your own touches to it if you'd like. Also, I could help you as you go along if you need it or I could show you to some tutorials and what not. Another idea was, maybe even we can have a rigging or a animation contest.

My main focus right now is to try and create more of a contest where you will get something out of it. Personally this is how I improve my skills all the time. It's through pure practice and if we can bring that in a contest, it would make it all that much funner to learn.

But yeah, this thread is just to see what you guys think about this and if maybe you have a different approche you want to take. Any suggestion or feedback would be great.

Yeah, I kind of want to practice my animation skills also... Well I'll leave this thread up for a one or 2 more weeks and if we get no feedback or nothing I'll just start up a contest of what I think it should be on.

Yeah, it kinda kills the drive doesn't it.

If it's just the 2 of us it will be better to make it more specific so we can directly compare.

Sure, animation sounds good.  The more specific a theme you can come up with the better, I have a terrible time just thinking things up haha

rigs tend to be more application specific than models (yay for .obj) so you might have trouble finding one for xsi.. if so i will get maya le to join in as i have to learn it anyway for my course

So....I've been gone a while, like maybe 4 or 5 years?! Are these comps still going on, like this one for an animation? Any plans for new competitions in the near future? I've been out of 3d for a while but I'd probably enjoy picking it back up again.

BTW the site has come a long way since a few years back, it looks good!

>Edit< Wow I'm still member #29 haha I'm suprised I am still in the system!
