Speed Modelling Rules

Craig Lewis · 28-09-2008, 02:47 PM

I've amended the Speed Modelling Challenge rules. If anyone has any questions, comments or issues with these, feel free to post your thoughts.

Rules

Bear in mind each of these challenges has a time limit, which does change with each challenge, so make sure to check the time limit. If you exceed the time limit, your entry will be disqualified. Please do not lie about how long it took you to make your model, as the reasoning behind the time limit is primarily to help you improve your speed and efficiency at modelling. If you reach the end of the time limit, and have not finished your model, we encourage you to enter your unfinished work as is.
Please include your final time within the image you submit, as well as triangle count and your forum username.
You may only submit a viewport printscreen of your model. Preferably your image should contain a shaded and also a wireframe version of your model. We will not accept rendered images.
Models must not be textured. You may use different coloured materials, also lighting.
Competitions will end at 15:00 GMT, on the date specified in the threads title.
Multiple Entries are allowed.
Generally, challenges will not have a polygon limit, however a limit may be imposed for certain challenges, so make sure to check challenge specific rules.

Hmmm... is the time spent looking for references included in the time limit? Like should I start the timer when I start looking for references, or when I actually start the modeling?

I would very much like to have some reference-material or even blueprints in the background of this current chopper-challenge, but if it eats up the actual modeling time, I may have to skip that.

Thanks!

Search for reference as long as you want

The time limit is only for the modeling.

Are there image dimension restrictions for the screenshoots? In the past it was 800x600 or 600x800 I believe.

any limits on image resolution ?

Dennispls · 22-06-2009, 04:27 AM

No unless stated in the current competition rules.
But since you can't render out your image will probably be around 640x480.

For the moment, no there are no set image sizes. So long as your pictures arent stupidly big, it should be ok.
