Looking good! This could actually fit into my on going scene I'm working on which I hope will give me more motivation to use the little time I have to do something! I never finished my last entry, I was so disapointed in myself

[leonar3d]

Too bad I missed the last one

But this time I'm gonna join!!

I was wondering how close I have to stay to the concept. Let's say I want to make a cartoony version of the chair, can I change the proportions of the chair or is the goal of the competition really to stay as close as possible to the concept and work a lot with the textures to define the context?

Thanks Leonard

[Tiros]

Hmm, we wouldn't really want cartoony entries for this challenge. More like the realistic kind of armchair you see in the concept. And yes, we ask that you stick closely to the concept with minor deviations allowed, as in adding small wheels, changing the looks of the chair legs, adding extra nails etc. Overall it should be recognized as the concept.

One thing that's not really clear in the rules, can you use parallax displacment?

[doylle]

As long as you display your entry in realtime you should be ok.

[Tiros]

Yep, as said:

You're free to use all the technology available to you, as long as it's realtime.
