Scene From A Movie - Questions and Answers

[Pankake]

Would it be acceptable to take one movie, say Ghostbusters, and give it the graphical look of Sin city?

I don't think the rules allow movie hybrids .

Also, I wish we could do characters :\ are Aliens characters?

Sure are.

what if i don't own a 1280x1024 monitor?

Heh, good point. I suppose you would have to be an exception, I don't think GA.net would discriminate small monitor owners!

@ CrimsonBlack: you can use 1x4096x4096 for your diffuse, that is the maximum space you can use. how you use it (16x1024x1024 for example) does not matter. So you can split textures if you like...

@Addi: no, sorry. Please stick with 1 movie...

@lefix: euh, we'll get back to you on that. but for an artist that should be the very minimum really...

@ trowstuff: what engine do you have in mind?

@Doylle

If I were to use the max viewport i could use any number of procedurals (gradients, noise, fractals etc) effectively for 'free'. (regarding texture pixel usage)

I probably wont, now that i've chosen my subject, but would be good to know what the limitations are.

Are we allowed to use a reflection mask texture instead of for example a glow texture ? Not adding sets, but giving them a different purpose? I guess it´s no problem, just wanna make sure:

how about same movie that someone else reserved but different scene?

Me and my team mate were wondering if Team America : World Police could be considered a live-action movie?

Does the environment also count as the interior of for example an building. Or is this contest limited to the outdoors?

[lefix]

heh, i know, i feel kinda bad about it :P and i keep spending all my money on other stuff like electric ukuleles. at least i have 2 of those tiny screens at home!
anyways, don't worry about it. i'll just be taking the screencaps at school or someone elses computer

Sarayel: You could go as far as doing the same scene as someone else. There's no limitations on that.

MathyG: Team America wouldn't really count.

RobertJ: It's any scene from a movie. So indoors and outdoors are both valid.

I saw it mentioned about no organic characters, what about planes? Preferably fighter planes from the 40's era (not foreshadowing, because we haven't decided on a movie, yet)
