GAMC #2 - Leather Chair - Page 3

Dennispls · 29-08-2009, 01:49 PM

Well i won't have a problem with the fact you want the chair to have a cusion instead if it being one piece.

Like Tiros said minor deviations are fine, just don't go overboard!

When is the submission deadline?

I know the competition deadline is the 6th, but I assume that includes the voting. So does that mean the submission deadline is sunday night? (30th august)

[hP] · 29-08-2009, 05:33 PM

Competition deadline - End of Sunday, September 6th. 2009, at 23h59 GMT.

that's the submission deadline man, don't overcomplicate stuff! xD

Ibrahim · 29-08-2009, 05:34 PM

lol, sorry - i just wasn't sure.

two weeks to model an armchair though?

Tiros · 29-08-2009, 05:37 PM

Yep, still one week to go, this was a relatively slow-paced challenge. The next one's going to be more challenging though

[hP] · 29-08-2009, 05:38 PM

Well, It's not only "model". You have to model base mesh, sculpt, get an low poly, UVW's, baking, texture painting, diffuse, specular, normal maps, and finally material tweakings. (At least that's my workflow)

Of course you could always make a very simple Low Poly and texture it, but I figure this competitions are to make "portfolio" ready assets. So, therefore, it should have reasonable detail.

Also, some of us got daytime jobs, so can only work on it on weekends or so. So yeah, 2 / 3 weeks sounds very good to me.

(Besides, I guess the main reason why GA switched to this GAMC competition, is to drop the "speed" kinda competitions, and have something slow-paced, but with good quality, and i pretty much agree with it.)

Ibrahim · 29-08-2009, 05:45 PM

I don't think I've ever completed anything within a deadline... this feels rather strange. Although, I guess that leaves me a good week to make any changes/amendments to my model and textures.

[hP] · 29-08-2009, 06:03 PM

Well, why don't you start now?

GL man, cos I tell you, apart from a couple of things in this life, (:P :P :P) there is nothing more satisfying than finishing something you've worked for a long time! trust me!

I should be creating my WIP thread today or tomorow as well, we'll see!

I wanna at least post the highp model.

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up so that we may avoid these 'oh, it was GMT+-0?' situations

There's (from the time that I posted this message): 4h 10min.
left before the submission thread closes up.
