Challenge #1

[zabeal]

Well, if you are really really bored there are probebly tons of things you could do to help out. But if you can\'t find any, I would suggest making other simple items, adding a handle to the bowl to make a frying pan, shrinking that down to make spoons, etc.

In 3ds on of the best ways to model is using splines.

And then applying a surface modifier, it autmatically maps anythin between 3 connected vertecies as a polygon.

Anyway if this makes no sense don\'t worry, fiddle around with things, maybe google for a splines tutorial in 3dsMax. You\'ll see what I mean.

[Zeraph]

I enjoy Low-Polygon modeling myself but I should try some more stuff with Splines.
I just have trouble making Realistic textures?.
>( Not to much of a 2D artist )< ?(

[THAPRINZE]

sup..just started with making 3d stuff...now trying my hand on some bone tutorials... wanna make some moving stickfigure..and damn that is HARD!!

but when will the next challenge be... not to good at anything yet..but still wanna try my hand on something.

did the challenge #1 even had a winner? or did i over look the scores or soemthing -_-

[Erik]

Guess the most logical answer would be: After CB

And no, this gives absolutely no indication when cb will be released...

[lythia]

well this is my feeble attempt at moddeling a bowl, I\'m not sure if its worth even submiting to Laanx wheel of wishes. I got a little stumped with that exporter...... Comments and critisisim please!

[Nerocon]

Here is my bowl, its made of stone hehe figured ide try my hand.

I tried to submit it to LWW but I got the following error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/lww/public_html/thumbs.php on line 8

but here it is nonetheless

Hi guys,
I am just 12 years old i know how to make very good models in 3d using blender  so I am intersted on making models for the game. I first was intersted on participatin on PS team because I can make cool things in python using pygame and wxPython(if u guys dont know its a programing language) but I am only 12... now I just  join the forums and I think I could participate the team not officialy by doing models for the game than send requests of models to danaugrs@uol.com.br.

PS: dont think I cant model good \'cause i am a kid!LOL

[Karyuu]

I think, first of all, the team will be looking for someone with a bit more maturity ;) For example, proper sentence structure, spelling, and grammar can really say a lot about you. There are also several talented 3D artists within the PS community already, who have shared their work in the Fanart forum and received comments and criticism. You have yet to prove your claim that you have the skills necessary. So how about you show some of your work first, and -then- decide to boast.

Also, considering your previous few posts, it doesn\'t seem like you know enough about the game and its future, so I would also suggest thorough reading, and socializing with current members of the community to get a better understanding of Planeshift itself.

I don\'t doubt you abilities as a modeler a bit.  I mean there are Photoshop elitists at age 11 so I mean age in this day and age doesn\'t mean anything (at least here it doesn\'t X\'D). Send an example of your work and we\'ll see if your capable of the task. But then again it isn\'t up to me in the first place, its up to the devs, so we\'ll see what they say.

[Taruk]

I can\'t speak english very well because I am brazilian. And about the task I made a house, that could show a little of my work and some other things like glass, reflection, etc I will put here a some pictures in my next thread. Because now I am not in my computer.

I heard about that you guys need a boat (I dont know if its true...) so I will try to make a good looking medieval one to show my work.

wait for my replies. ;-)

[Taruk]

Here is a site that show the house, an M-16, a shield and a pill:

About the boat I am still working on, and the bottle isnt in the site because they dint let put images tha have more than 750kb

how do I put images in the thread?

[prajitl]

Hi all.  Here\'s my own attempt at a bowl, not too sure if im understanding the polycounter right...im using 3ds poly counter, is the # of polys the triangle # or do i haveta double the #?

http://filenet0.tripod.com/bowls.jpg

bowl - 86 polys
apple - 52 polys
pear - 52 polys

Dunno if the poly count is too high or not...

c&c welcome, thanks

edit: how to post images directly?

[Nikolia]

I dont use blender. I use maya,
so I guess I\'m going to have to read some tutorials.
I really like PlaneShift and I hope it be part of it\'s future.
Besides some of my artisit skills, I also
have alot of Ideas that could Improve the game
and make it unique from other mmorpgs today.

[Thenior]

Nikolia.. PM me and I will show you how to do it in Maya (you have to use blender also)
