[Zenitor]

I'll give it a go :P
just thinking......

once we have 3 or more contestants a start time will be chosen
ie monday and then on monday a subject and conditions will be announced.
is this what you meant?

[BgDM]

Sounds like it may be a good thing to try.

BgDM officially throws in his hat on this one.

[rhyno]

that is correct that way everyone has a fair chance because people that sign up earlier could start earlier
2 more people at least then and we can choose a start date

if this contest runs ok i will be doing many more in the future like tag team moddelling and speed modelling

[rhyno]

ok if more people don't regiester by thursday 8:ooPM GMT the contest will still run but just with the 2 who have already singed up and me of course

well the deadline for entering is tomorrow night at 8:00PM GMT so the week might start saturday or sunday which day would people prefer

Thats 10 people (11 including me)

Rules will be announced tomorrow at about 9:00PM GMT. If anyone can suggest good hosting that i can post all the submitted work on for people to judge, please say some here.

I will get to work on the trophies we will now have 1st place(gold), 2nd place(silver), and 3rd place(bronze) as we have enough people to do so

More places are still available though, so get entering

[Carnivore]

Although because of school I won't have any more time than for a WC, I think I'll give it a go. Nice to see some real contests coming up :)

[quailman]

Funny how almost everyone said "not much time.." or "won't be very good.."

Count me in, although I also won't have much time this week. :P

[rhyno]

sorry guys but i wont be able to post the rules and a start date up tonight because i am going to a concert in sheffield so the closing date for entires has now been changed to friday 12:00PM hope more people think about entering

[Forace]

I haven't entered to a contest for a long time,
so count me in, too!

[Modron]

I'll take a placeholder. Let's have a theme, though, that allows for a broad range of interperetaion, because if we are going to spend a week on something, it should be something we will want to keep and maybe use later for some other project.

[Smoky Joe]

I'm way too tired of designing characters.....Sign Me!

[rhyno]

ok so now it is time to get down to the contest

First of all the rules:

Only Blender can be used to model
outside renderers may be used eg. yafray
raytracing is allowed
displacement mapping is allowed
still images must be submitted to me by email and not hosted by you as this way it will be easier for people to judge
still images only NO ANIMATION
Email address: [email protected]

Next the theme

The theme selected for this contest is: OUT OF THE DARKNESS
you may interperate this how you wish.

The contest starts today at 3:00PM which means that all enteries must be in to me by 3:00PM next saturday

Good Luck, Get blendering

[Carnivore]

Random non-competing whatever:

www.zone.ee/crn1/robot1.mpg would that fit the theme?
My first ever animation in blender, made with 2.25

Hey were you guys informed of the postponement? Seriously, we have an extra week, so don't rush. ( no this is not a trick )

[Smoky Joe]

[Modron]

He mentioned something about school,...it's in my balrog thread if you need verification.

[rhyno]

yeah guys this is true my college course is taking up way to much time and i would not be able to get all the work posted this weekend so i moved it to next week sorry for not letting you know i didn't think anyone else was posting here as i wasn't getting emails to say there were new posts

[sonix]

sorry for not letting you know i didn't think anyone else was posting here as i wasn't getting emails to say there were new posts No worries, you might want to check any spam filter you have set up, as some notification emails are from 'No ' rather from '[email protected]'.

Sonix.

[Modron]

I am not going to finish the balrog in time. :( Maybe next time.

[rhyno]

ok then guys i guess the winner by defult is sonix

Maybe there will be more entries next time.
