Rules and Regulations on Participation:

Each participant will be able to enter TWO models, with an exception of building and player models, where submissions are infinite.

Each model will be submitted to me (Delarosa) Via PM (if have hosting that works for .zip and it NOT the ns forums) Via e-mail rose @ neotech.cc, or via a messenger service.

Once your TWO models are submitted, you will no longer be allowed to submit/change the models that you will compete with. (no withdrawl of a model to replace it with another, this INCLUDES updates on your model, so send ONLY your final version.)

The Voting Will last for 7 days, anyone found of cheating the polls will be disqualified from the contest, and have their name on the “watch for rule breaking” list with the forum moderators.

The initial date you started on your model can be no OLDER than April 01 2004.

Models submitted must be your original work. “Hacks” or compilations of other people’s work does not count as your own work.

To the effect of a person creating a player model, their submission will be given lenience time depending on a case by case basis, you should notify me that you are creating a player model, and send me updates on a frequent basis.


To Submit a Model:
Create a .Zip or .Rar file including the following:
A .3ds and if possible a .ms3d (one or the other, preferably both)
2 wireframe images (.jpg)
2 “money-shot” renders (.jpg)
If applicable, the concept art you based your model off of.

Modeling Program used
Amount of time spent on file
If applicable, the name of the person that did your concept (if not you)
Polygon Count
A line stating that you give permission for T2K to host the file in the WIP section of the site (a line with “no” or “yes” works)


Submissions will be broken up into Classes, and each class will have each a separate poll.

The Rules on polygonal count are as follows:

General:
Model must be Triangulated (no quad-modeling please)
Be honest in your polygon count in the text file (we will check up on them anyway, but that doesn’t mean you can be lazy)
Do not delete back-faces

Handguns/Welders/Mines:
Maximum polygonal Count: 1500

Light/Heavy Machine Guns/Shotguns:

**models submitted for these categories do not count for your TWO model submissions.


THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD:

END MODEL SUBMISSION DATE: Sunday April 11th

the prizes for each category will be covered in the final polls for that section of the contest.

can you please raise the pistol polycount to 1600? because ive been working on a pistol about 2 days and its at 1600

optimize/reduce details... these are things we are trying to keep to a relativly low PC... (we want them in game.. for EVERYONE, remember?)


chrono, i know your models, winning a contest like this wouldn't be a challenge for you... hence the poly restrictions being so tight... you have to work on keeping them low(er) and we have to work on MAKING them...

if you absolutly can't edit the poly down by 100, submit it anyway... if it's anything OVER 100 poly off... i won't accept it for the contest (ok?)

cuz its like 1557
i hope burncycle doesnt submit cuz i think hell kill me with his models

Last I heard he wasn't planing on entering anything...

ok...im gettin a bit of a late start but ill be in this.

and is it 2 models for the entire contest or 2 models per section? like 2 pistols 2 nades 2 lmgs?

Oh cool. I'd so enter this if I didn't have any exams.

im in.

two models per modeler.... with the exception of buildings and player models...

alright del i submitted both of mine hope you like em
can you keep up slow pokes?

chrono. one of these days, im gonna punch ya right in the kisser.

I'm in.

O john doe want me to punch him for you i live like 45 minutes away from him ^^

boo hoo im chrono and i need concepts

oh i should probably mention this before it gets ugly, if i ever offend anyone, i didnt mean it. i joke. maybe to much sometimes. but yes, only jokes.

Chrono's Entries...

Pistol... Official entry #1

Grenade... Official Contest entry #2

worst renders ever

Can you please post the pictures as attachments or personal message me them? I can't access the T2K site.

if its good and way under the poly limit, can i get like free votes or points or cookies or soemthing?

how about for every hundred polies under you get a bonus vote, and every 100 over you get one counted against you. so you take chronos total votes and take one off, and on mine you add like... 10. and thats only if its an acceptable model.

ok then for every day your early in the competition submision you get 100 votes added so that means im 699 votes in the lead

alright well then i guess im finished. looks like im 11 votes ahead of you

I'll start doing some concepts, just in case anyone needs some ideas. If you have any requests, post them.

Steampunk-ish Pistol

hey sparda you might wanna change that link. click the http:// button and put it in there.

little suggestion on the voting can you make it so the models are viewable in 3d? that way peopl will be able to see what the model looks like from every angel instead of one wierd jpeg

Do the models have to be compiled?

3d versions of the models submitted
ONLY WORKS IN IE
and on my models press T so it wont be all white

CLICK

u said we cant enter old models that we made in the past

but what if we redo them?

like chrono did?

You can count me in.

Hmm.. Maybe I'll start to do a player model ^_^

/me goes to breakfast, and after that starts to model.

Good luck for all!

Edit, hmm. So you want just the model, so if I make a player model it doesn't have to be rigged. Am I correct?

no it doesn't have to be rigged...

chrono, i thought you had re-made all of them...



no, updating an old one doesn't count... ANY part of the model can be no older than april 1st...

so i have to resubmit?

hows this?

here is my first model to for this thing.... poly count 778 it be a axe design is from rune it is a knifle replacement take about a hour and a half to make etc etc....

guess my nade is out the window

lovin that pistol chrono!

wish i had the software to compete in this atm sooon my pretties, soooon.

count me in..

count me in too , modelling now..

mmm ill whip up something to, making an quite unusual ak variant for me mod, send it in here

will renders be made by one person, so no1 can fake stuff with their pictars?

so we're not alowed to submit models with textures ?
