Model Competition 0001 - Small Fighter/gunship/bomber

Peet · Post by **Peet** » 16 Sep 2006, 19:04

This is just like Neddiedrow's texture competition for textures, but for *GASP* models.

Uhh...Rules:
-under 1000 polys
-untextured; post pictures of the wireframe (and/or phong shaded for clarity)

Same as the texture thread, this is an attempt to make GPL-compliant models for new and/or existing mods.

This competition ends Saturday September 23.

I'll post mine later...aka when I get around to doing one.

skinned ones would be more usefull?

Peet · Post by **Peet** » 16 Sep 2006, 19:24

Shush. Modelling contest. Not skinning contest...Besides, skins tend to be sort of mod-specific...

meh ... i wanna be creative must it really be small...?

Peet · Post by **Peet** » 16 Sep 2006, 19:35

Well...I'm thinking the sort of thing that would be used as a lvl 1 unit. It can still be creative...

Plus an L1 unit that unfolds massive wings/is really deep would be rather cool.

I'd enter the GINTA gunship if it wasn't 1126 triangles...

A side note: Vegastrike project has loads of stuff resembling aircraft that can be borrowed/used (most content is under free licenses). One problem - they use Ogre's mesh format. (Inspiration is human-readable, though :))

Its a figher that uses swarm missles (like the Raven in XTA) to shoot down bombers.

i start to like this contests - the only way to use a forum as paper bin for old work, and not getting banned by the Mods.

Hehee, I already had an idea for this a few mins ago.. Time to get workin'

Um, this contest is kind've useless if y'all aren't posting your meshes, so that we can give detailed critique

Peet · Post by **Peet** » 16 Sep 2006, 22:58

That's probably a good idea.

PicassoCT · Post by **PicassoCT** » 16 Sep 2006, 23:26

Ahem, no this aint- some of the Meshes - well, are kind of lost... i am shure they are still there, but well, they are in Scenes, and those Scenes - recopied into scenes, Meshed smothed... and i am to lazy to search for them...
Screens, nothing else .. i am shure the others also will have not enough time to search through the usual modell mess, everybody has.

Peet · Post by **Peet** » 16 Sep 2006, 23:33

Well...if the models are going to be used in new mods (which is sort of the point) a model file needs to be provided...

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 17 Sep 2006, 00:07

And if this is a contest, how am I supposed to judge entries, if I cannot see the actual mesh? Bullshots do not tell me if the mesh has serious problems, dozens of wasted faces, bad welding, or poorly-designed uvmapping.

....herk

If it's not mapped, it's kind've pointless. Models without a uvmap are totally useless for videogames.
