I just joined, when is the next model comp ?
Can it be a bird (flying thing), related ?
Cheers.
So are we able to start posting up suggestions? I think it is a fair guess that this would be for the low poly comp?
I was actually going to make a bird recently for a Christmas card for my girlfriend. 'On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. A Partridge in a pear tree...' Time has gotten the better of me though :(
Good suggestion though xyz.
Here is the base of the TD7 thread.

Some good ones are:

There is also one about the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse, but rider and steed has already been done.
Othereise anything Victorian era themed would make a nice change :)

Ok, give me some more proposals, and I'll see what everyone likens to most.
Although i've got books on max 3 and 4 now and i can model (But my damn copy of Max 5 isnt working [:(]) i thought how about a demon lord, a violent destructive demon lord, or a biological creature. Or like previously suggested, a cute thing like a little fluffy wuffy puppy.
Oh and Souri how well are you known by Australian/New Zealand game studios. You must be known a fair bit, i mean you setup all these competitions and give up your spare time (Some of it anyway [:P]) to run a great site for the fellow Australians and New Zealanders.
Although I'll participate in whatever is decided upon - I think there have been too many 'warrior'//aggressive type characters. If something aggressive is voted upon, I think we need some sort of 'restrictions' that force people to think outside the square more.
Eg - spaceship with no wings and not made of steel. A martial arts warrior who doesn't wear formal training gear (gi or otherwise).
In all seriousness, I'm not really wanting to do a kiddie type challenge but it'd be good to have a challenge that encourages people to expand from the 'aggressive' mindset.
What have you got in mind, Souri?
Hmmm... very interesting thought there and it sparked my mind
How about a physic warrior, almost like (If anyone has played it, im sure they have) StarCrafts protoss race, physic warriors in heavy sort of armour with shields.
Im not saying Blizzards best game should be the base, but something similiar to the protoss race. Just for those who have never seen or heard of the game, here are two images of the protoss, physic based warriors. Here [url]http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/ScreenShot.aspx?ImageIndex=37&Set=2[/url] and here [url]http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/ScreenShot.aspx?ImageIndex=39&Set=2[/url].
Overall i think a physic warrior should be interesting too see what people come up with. Some people might make them using their physic abilities with swords etc.. or make the physic warrior an alien, human and whatnot.
Just a suggestion but something i would love too see.
I completely agree with Kerr on this - How about we stay away from the cliches?
No warriors, no demons, no boobs-&-boots.
Here's a few ideas -
[B)] Environment - your take of an island with one "natural" feature (eg, volcano, giant tree, carved mountain etc). Restrictions would be 4k polys and 2 1024x1024 texture sheets (view distance would be god-view type of thing, you wouldn't be running around on this thing in first person).
[B)] Props - something challenging; maybe a bonsai tree, or umm... garden gnomes?
[B)] Working bots - A robot that is specifically built for a task - it needs to show exactly what that task is and how it does it. Design is a big thing with this, with working hydraulics and be feasibly designed (eg, point out where it gets it's power, what each bits purpose is etc).
[B)] Cute - someone mentioned something along these lines and I like this idea. Spin on it comes from the brief which is to make your vision of cuteness. It may be a puppy, a fantasy avatar of cuteness, or a person smiling [:)]
Anyways, there's a few ideas - i'd just really like to see us do something unique and not the cliche topics covered hundreds of times in the past.
I started asking some friends at work about this (they love games). The biggest suggestion was 'A Porn Character'. Joking around more, another guy and I came up with 'A Fruit/Veg Inspired Superhero'. He said he would be Telegraph Cucumber Man.
I like the idea of a less cliched design. Maybe it should be decided what people want to model first. Characters? Mechs/Robots? Scenes/Environments? Vehicles?
I like the idea of JI's Props idea. Making a cool looking low poly Bonsai Tree would rock :D
How about not? Heh.
Fruit and Veg inspired superhero is actually pretty cool. Everyone could do it the Rareware way - take something and add eyes to it: http://www.uncleclive.co.uk/index.html#TOP Scroll down to developer tips.
I suppose you've got something made already, eh? Insert winky smiley here.
Good call tho' -- when is the next one? Souri? Should this be the beginning of suggestions for the next comp?
We've had so far: Feng Zhu interpretation, Rider and Steed, Demon Overlord. Have I missed any?
