can i modify uvw coordinates of the model? (obvously without changing the geometry)

[Talon]

Yes, re-UVing the model is allowed, just no alterations to the geometry.

If we wanted to put some stuff in our portfolio, who do we give credit to for the models?

[Tiros]

I'm really not too picky with receiving proper credits or anything, but people won't like it when you don't write it's someone elses model ofc. So, just add "Adam Fransson" or Tiros".. that'd do..

If someone else creates the model however, that'd be specified in the challenge, or hosted by that person.. Like Doylle for example

Cheers!

[Machaca8]

Yea, I want to make it very clear in my portfolio/website which are my models and which are others' models with my textures. So, for now, I have it stating "Model: Game-Artist.net; Texture: Marcela Roberts" Would that suffice? Or does/should it be more specific?

[Tiros]

Aye, as said, I'm not too picky with it, so anything would be fine really

[Machaca8]

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure.

Is this a new rule? I must admit I've been rendering my previous submissions but only because I've got such an antiquated system, it's the only way I can show my normal maps as my graphics card doesn't support Hardware Rendering?

[Tiros]

Ah, I'm actually trying m best here to make sure renders don't get through, some slip through though I guess

And so, yes, it's a new rule, no renders. And well, do you have any other apps than Maya? Surely you'd be able to render real time in one of them if that be the case. Else, I guess you'd have to use another app for it, or game-engine.

If you havn't been rendering your 3d-stuff real time before, then I'd say it'd definetly be a good thing to start doing it

Cheers!
