Count me in.
Now the hard part; what to make

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 02 Nov 2009, 04:38

I like this topic. Maybe I'll try it.

tahnoak · Post by **tahnoak** » 02 Nov 2009, 10:10

I completely suck at robots or electronics so count me IN!

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 02 Nov 2009, 12:37

I thought Robots would be a fun subject because all experience levels
could join in.

The Robot could be as simple as a cube (darn, I gave away my idea!

) or
as complex as a humanoid shaped gadget of the future.

You'll all be happy to know I used the "Idea" thread to come up with this Challenge. So who ever thought of this idea, Thanks!

Lets have some Fun!

Hey Steinie it's a great subject!!! I won't join but have fun anyway...

Karthogen · Post by **Karthogen** » 02 Nov 2009, 14:11

Should be a fun topic.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 08 Nov 2009, 15:54

No ideas. I shouldn't spend time on this (or on making senseless forum posts) now anyway due to real world stuff. If I get an idea that can be done quickly though ...

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 08 Nov 2009, 20:40

Hey what ever you can offer will be appreciated Finis. No pressure from me.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 12 Nov 2009, 05:23

Here's a wip. vi ... 9700#p9700"

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 13 Nov 2009, 13:40

Nice entry Nigec. I saw your work over at the Wizards site too and liked those renderings also.
Good Luck.

nigec · Post by **nigec** » 13 Nov 2009, 14:50

I like yours too

I wish I could get away with the more cartoonie stuff

theuns · Post by **theuns** » 16 Nov 2009, 16:25

just got back from vacation... don't know how much time is left but I'll see if I can put something together to enter...

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 16 Nov 2009, 23:48

ROBIDET, only JamesMC would think of that!

Clash of Juggernauts...

WIP : vi ... f=5&t=1064"

Background story: a century ago, robots was mass produced to serve humans and took over all hazardous work, now they are in need of dwindling resources and robots fight for it on new frontier...

Setting: what I have in mind is a massive scene with mammoth mining robots harvesting resources and a host of support and protection bots protecting them and slugging it out while the behemoths labour away and repair bots fix them as they get damaged...

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 17 Nov 2009, 13:08

JamesMc was a surprise entry and a surprise subject!!! I have a funny story about that thing, no details, lets just say I was young, in Europe, and thought it was a Soda cooler next to the bed...

Everyone better get a move on because the Challenge ends this Sunday night.
Get some robots to help you...

Karthogen · Post by **Karthogen** » 17 Nov 2009, 13:51

Fogot to post my WIP on this one. Not sure where it is going yet. But, Tahnks to Steine for the idea, it's a gladiator robot.

vi ... f=5&t=1058"

Nice work everyone!

jamesmc...between the SMC and MMC, I see that we both have our minds in the sewer!

Nice one! I had thought about a laptop and phone lying around in the SMC, but my tS speed skills are a little slower now with lack of practice, and I ran out of time.

nigec · Post by **nigec** » 20 Nov 2009, 15:25

I actually did a second but its only a 3rd TS (the robot) the rest is retextured and messed with Daz/poser stuff, it started life as the album art from Appetite for Destruction; Guns n Roses, but quickly realised I couldn't do the creature

the robot sucks.. well its not what I wanted lol, I welded its neck to the head and shoulders by accident so it was impossible to pose, so I rushed/lost interest with the rest

theuns · Post by **theuns** » 22 Nov 2009, 12:32

Posting the final entry now... bit of rush and very rough but it depicts battle I had in mind... special effects is awefull though, I need help with that (pretty please anybody!)...

Karthogen · Post by **Karthogen** » 22 Nov 2009, 13:24

I like it. Looks good.
Maybe a little smoke with the fire?

theuns · Post by **theuns** » 22 Nov 2009, 16:38

thought about adding smoke but couldn't get it right so well (see the dust behind the two smaller bots in the front?)... saw a great image of one of the space shuttle launches but I couldn't find that post I saved to see how it was done :(

have you got a nice smoke effect you use?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 22 Nov 2009, 22:10

I've a nice one on the way.

LeonRegis · Post by **LeonRegis** » 22 Nov 2009, 23:39

All great entries, congratulations! More coming!

nigec · Post by **nigec** » 23 Nov 2009, 12:00

great entries guys, good luck 2 all

Dragneye · Post by **Dragneye** » 24 Nov 2009, 06:53

What WONDERFUL entries you guys made! Variety and beautiful renders!
Great job everybody!

I by accident only picked one before I hit the button. Since I can vote 3, can I reset?
These entries deserve at least my other two votes. They've all done a great job. I want to vote more!

Dragneye · Post by **Dragneye** » 25 Nov 2009, 17:20

Steinie, is there a way for me to add my other two votes?

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 25 Nov 2009, 20:32

Sorry Dragneye but I couldn't find a way to allow more votes other then starting over.

Dragneye · Post by **Dragneye** » 25 Nov 2009, 22:16

Ok, can I/how can I start over? I know who I wanted to vote for, so I won't cheat. Just want to give these folks all they can get. They've done real worthy work.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 26 Nov 2009, 00:36

About Dragneye's votes. Two unorthodox solutons:

1. Dragneye could just post in the poll thread who his other two votes are for and the winner will be determined by the poll votes plus the posted votes. No one here is going to get mad about who votes for who so a secret ballot isn't really necessary.

2. Dragneye could PM Steinie who his other two votes are for. We would all understand that Steinie will announce the final vote totals for each contestant including the PM'ed votes. This is good if Dragneye prefers not to have his vote recipients publicly known. No, wait, that wouldn't work for privacy since we would know that the votes not on the poll are Dragneye's. Oh well, option 1 then.

Dragneye, I think Steinie means that the whole poll would have to be restarted not that you would have to restart.

Dragneye · Post by **Dragneye** » 26 Nov 2009, 09:27

No not right for the poll to restart.

Be right back (I don't care about the count. I had picked my two already. No offense to Anyone, but I'm allowed to like what I like

My first choice was theuns
I like Karthogen's idea, and there's a special interest in nigecs entry (I really like Robot Wars show myself and I think your killer disc idea is the best design to win it all

), Steinie, you the man for me (thanx for teaching me to ... lighten up; but you runnin' the show, ya know), and well tahnoak, I am definitely incorporating your idea in my future designs

, my other choices were,
The other two are jamesmc and Finis

So dats dat, let's move on

Have a Wonderful Happy Thanksgiving all and to our international art cohorts... it's a day to, just give Thanks.

nigec · Post by **nigec** » 27 Nov 2009, 12:34

yeah I didn't realise you could vote for three either (I never read the instructions!)
no worries though, the way the poll is, my other two choices wouldn't of changed things
