I know there has been enormous attention on the new modelling and mapping challenge. So i propose A character rigging and animation challenge. If anyone is interested let me know.
Perhaps the best 5 models from the modelling challenge can be donated and available for download for animation? this would allow a choice for the animators.
I know im interested are you?
I guess that would come down to how the creators feel about giving out their models.
It might be worth modelling/texturing your own character and then rigging/animation and just making it an extended challenge. Or make rigging/animation of your own character another part of the challenge, like the 2D assignment is with the current one.

I suggest the walk, run, jump, and attack, because the is a game dev focused site. But instead of this we could animate something more challenging like , 1) the character has 5 enemys after him in a maze of (invisible) corridors and he has to sneak out all covert.
anyone else got some ideas just post em up!
Challenge #2 has not been outlined yet.
So that is certainly possible. Leave it up to discussion.
