Random fact, the two tractors shown as inspiration were made by myself and a colleague of mine for a client I have.

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 06 Sep 2019, 07:58

nice one... if time allows, iam in.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 06 Sep 2019, 14:15

Awesome, looking forward to seeing the work! I want to be in on this one too.
I'm thinking to maybe share this or promote this on my socials also.

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 06 Sep 2019, 18:17

Some inspiration:

Nice guys!

Really? You know them personally huh? Well say hi from me then! Been a fan ever since I found Energia and that silly (but amazing video) Katy Perry - Roar cover they did!

I'm jelly of the place you live in! I like weird.

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 06 Sep 2019, 23:02

Yeah! I will see them on Mo16.9! Try to post something here!

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 23 Sep 2019, 20:03

Greatings to you all from Russkaja!
Had a shooting an hour ago!

Georgij knows about the contest!
I told him tonight!

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 24 Sep 2019, 14:27

The band looks great. And the entries too! They are turning out really nice.

I kinda want to compete in this one, though I hosted it. It's possible right?

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 25 Sep 2019, 07:55

the more entries, the better.. iam not against you entering too.

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 30 Sep 2019, 15:11

I see the okt 1 icluded in the rules! So should have until tomorrow 12 PM cetral european time?

Right?

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 30 Sep 2019, 15:48

Yes, time is nearly up, then I'll make the poll.

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 30 Sep 2019, 21:07

Thanks yes! Bin working overtime for this!
Making large 8K textures in Filterforge as plug to Photoshop! That takes lots of time! But I need those for my other projects anyways..so its worth going through the trouble!

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 02 Oct 2019, 02:49

How about extending the deadline a day or two so Rayman can finish?

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 02 Oct 2019, 02:59

Yes, will do. I also have a deadline, so time to make the poll is limited. So... Thursday midday CTZ!

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 02 Oct 2019, 12:24

Thanks! Will make it !
Great bin rendering textures and those are realy difficult and timeconsuming! I need them for my job so ..I have to make them as nice as possible!
Spent almost all night with it!

thanks!
Greetings!

I'm good with this! Can't wait to see what you made.

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 03 Oct 2019, 06:10

yes its one of those thomgs that I start to big! I have some health issues with my left leg at the moment! I will need more hours on that one ! I will post the pictures! I need to go to a job today and can barely step on my left leg!
The textures were the most time consuming..and those I need anyways! Just close it! I rather post something that I am happy with then rush it! I made all with procedural textures!
I will post a very detailed description with it..!
Dont hold it now for me will post it as soon as I have it!

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 04 Oct 2019, 03:29

I had a rough day today delivering for a client. I will do the poll tomorrow. Can't wait to see what WIP you have Rayman!

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 04 Oct 2019, 12:12

I wonder if its a good idea or not to make the U3DA Challenge last two months from now on. What do you think? Montly it makes sense, but it seems to be not enough time to get enough competitors.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 04 Oct 2019, 18:47

Challenges aren't everything. People could do CG projects that aren't for challenges. Members used to do that. No deadline, work at your own pace, on your own theme, toward your own goals. Also, why does everyone abandon a challenge project when they can't meet the deadline? Why not finish it outside of challenges?

Great entries in this challenge. Looking forward to seeing Rayman's picture.

Probably because they have limited time and the challenge deadline is a nice way of putting a limit on yourself not getting carried away on a project that one may not have the time for otherwise...

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 05 Oct 2019, 13:35

I agree there. Self imposed deadlines does create some good productivity. Though.. I do try to share my work when I can here.

I'm gonna wait for any image from Rayman then do the poll. Maybe later today I'll model something up nice and quickly.

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 06 Oct 2019, 17:08

you are right... i used to do my own projects, but i dont have time for that or i dont have energy or something. So challanges motivate me. I do some small things than to start something big i cannot finish or will finish in years.

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 07 Oct 2019, 13:39

Hi guys had to go to hospital on sunday! Leg hurt pretty bad after my job on Sa!
Back behind my computer now!
Dont want to hold you back! Just couldnt move anymore!
Was in Frankfurt to the carfair iaa and must have overdone the walking there! Some nice pix but..I couldnt move anymore without painkillers!
I am far with the project so yes lets see!

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 07 Oct 2019, 14:54

just render what you have in a quality you have... it doesnt have to be best in the world :) You can finish it to perfection later.

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 09 Oct 2019, 07:38

so, what is happening? I think we should run the poll. This is going nowhere.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 09 Oct 2019, 15:18

Yeah, gonna do it now.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 09 Oct 2019, 15:26

Poll created!

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 15 Oct 2019, 06:56

hm... what an ending... now what? :D

only 6 votes :-/ shame on everyone who did not vote.

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 15 Oct 2019, 16:15

I was waiting for the final blank entry and forgot to vote.

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 15 Oct 2019, 17:27

same here

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 15 Oct 2019, 17:33

Steinie is here! Now to make a "where's the artist" meme for Spacekdet.

I found the entries equally good so I didn't vote. There aren't many people active in the forum now days so maybe it is normal now for only a few to participate in anything.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 15 Oct 2019, 20:03

Hmm.. not sure what to do here.

If it were me, I'd do paper scissors rock. But I gotta wait till my girlfriend comes home to do it. (it's like a coin flip)

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 16 Oct 2019, 10:41

I always lose rock paper scisors :D so...

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 16 Oct 2019, 10:42

Oh, did the poll end already? maybe we should have let it run for a bit longer...

So it's a tie... Well I'd be happy to bow to my superior master Lego builder and declare Bitkar the supreme ruler of this challenge.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 16 Oct 2019, 14:56

I had it run for 5 days, though maybe 10 would have made more sense.

Hmm... so forfeiting your votes Mikom to default to Bitkar? Woah.

Bitkar, down to do the next competition?

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 17 Oct 2019, 08:08

Mikom: much apreciated, but your tractor had a great steampunk vibe. I hope you win next time and them could be "steampunk" itself, it looked amazing.

We both are winners and Iam pretty sure, whether its me or Mikom who decide the next topic, the result would be that the next challange will be "lego". Me personally I think the building system does not have to be specific to lego only. There are other building systems for kids (and adults), so lets make next theme "make somethings using any kids building systems you know" (im my country there was also very mechanical system with screwes and nuts called Merkur, so thats why not a lego only)

Mikom: do you agree with the next theme?

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 21 Oct 2019, 09:21

@bitkar Sure, go for it! I remember as a kid I had Brio (building train tracks), K'nex (clicking together rods to make objects and structures) and Mechano (screws, plates and bolts). And Lego of course. Lots of inspiration to be had there.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 22 Oct 2019, 13:11

Let's do it.

jamesmc · Post by **jamesmc** » 22 Oct 2019, 16:16

Should rename the monthly "challenge" into the "circular, never-ending marathon". The September challenge has extended into most of October. LOL

Or maybe it's the dog's fault
1. ate my homework
2. buried it in the backyard
3. the front of it's back hurt it one bright morning in the middle of the night.
4. there is always room for jello?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 26 Oct 2019, 20:20

Bitkar?

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 28 Oct 2019, 20:12

iam on it.
