Pre-DomWar V - 3D Character Art

[kanga]

Nov 10th, 11am] Rule Change: 3D Character Art
- No displacement maps, No bump maps, and no painting normal maps in any fashion.

[Nov 11th, 10am] Rule Change: 3D Character Art
- High res sculpting is allowed for diffuse map generation only, and retopology is allowed.

- To insure no one cheats by photoshop'ing extra details into their final presentation image, high ranked entrants can be asked to submit their models to Dominance War officials to verify that the specs (no normal maps, no extra photoshop’ing on final presentation sheet, no extra polygon usage, no extra texture sheets) were met. Entrants that fail to submit their models to us, will be disqualified from competition. Submitted models will be used for judging purposes only. They will not be sold, or used for any means other than checking to see if you followed the rules.

Note from Founder:
- If you are looking for a loophole in an attempt to find a way to put height details onto your final models so that your model looks like a high res character using a low res mesh, then you are trying to defeat the purpose of this challenge.

Yay! I've never competed in a challenge of this magnitude, so this should be fun! Looking forward to repping GA.net to the fullest

And my spoon, I mean sword.
And would certainly be nice to finish, espeically without rushing it. Although im probably gonna do a high poly for the AO and re-top so im sure ill be pushed for time.

And I'm never gonna finish my current project, first comicon, then pre dom of war and then it'll be actual dom of war.

Hi Swigglesworth and welcome to the ranks!
No AO allowed, I know. Check the rules. You can make a hipoly for retopo, but no baking,... anything, Just the old fashioned hand painting. Not even lightmap baking.

HA HA!
Yet even with those limitations we shall crush and destroy, and assimilate the rest of course.

[SkwigglesWorth]

Ok fair enough no AO it is, it'll make me use hand painting methord only which is a good thing. I'll probably still do a sculpt just wont go into too much detail.

High res sculpting is allowed for diffuse map generation only, im guessing that is relating to transferring colour/Material then?

[novaprospekt]

yeah this should be a fun little challenge, most artists now a days rely pretty heavily on the next-gen method (including myself).

Hey guys, I'd really love to join, but I am not sure of several things. If I join 3D Character art only, the design is all up to me, or do I have to follow some given concept? And well...um how much skill is required to join the competition under GA?
