Contests


Find a name for the new contest!!!

^deviantartfilm:icondeviantartfilm: reports, May 7
This is a mini contest to find a name for our new contest that will begin on may 19th.

So what is this contest all about??
This is gonna be a modeling/drawing/animation contest and this is gonna be going as long as the community is active.

First part
The first part is gonna be for the 3D modelers and 2D artists.

:pointr: 3D modelers will have to model and rig a character which they will be given a theme. They gonna have 2 months to do so.

:pointr: 2D artists will have to draw a character which they will be given a theme. They will have to draw a rotation of the character. Since it isn't as long to do as a 3D modeling, they will have to make a facial expression sheet, and a poses sheet. They can also color it if they want too.

Second part
The second part is gonna be for the 3D and 2D animators.

:pointr: 3D animators will have to use the winner's model and animate it on a theme that we will decide. The theme will be something as simple as making a character jump and then fall on the ground. If everything goes well, we will go for more challenge for the next ones.
If there aren't any 3D modeling entries, they will animate any character they want, as long as they own the rights to use them. There are free rigged characters that they can use on the internet. Also, if the model isn't the right kind of file for the software, they can use any characters as mentioned earlier.

:pointr:2D animators will have to animate the winner's 2D character on the same theme as the 3D animators. If there aren't any 2D characters entries, they can animate any character they want as long as they own the rights to use it.

:pointr: The animators will have 1 month to animate.

:pointr: The prizes : The winners will have the choice between 1 year subscription or 20 deviantDollar.


That's it!

So the winner of this mini contest is gonna get a 6 month subscription.
So, can you find a name to this new contest?

When you found a good name for the contest, send a note to ^deviantartfilm with the subject : "Contest name" and tell us what name you found.

:pointr: Deadline : may 17th

Go!!!

I see a problem... not all 3d models and packages are compatible... ie I use C4D so my model and rig wouldn't work in say Maya...

Other than that I see lots of potential for this film collab thingy. There's a title in there some where.... :rofl:

the compatibility is an issue, i use XSI softimage. but i think it would be cool to participate! i think maybe we could do some kind of registration process, or teams to make sure there are a good amount of people who can use the same programs. the problem with teams though is holding people accountable. at SIGGRAPH (animation conference) they have a contest ca

lled FJORG where animators team up with people with different specialties. its a huge event and people get real excited about it!

but a name a name... um how about animator's baton pass? or something. i think a good theme would be exaggeration, since thats the corner stone of animation and all! the character could have one or more really exaggerated features, and the action that they do should be exaggerated as well

just a few thoughts ^^

"this is gonna be going as long as the community is active"
So it will be like the manga/anime repeating mini-contest? Good idea.

"The winners will have the choice between 1 year subscription or 20 deviantDollar." / "the winner of this mini contest is gonna get a 6 month subscription."
I hope you can edit your news... =P I suppose it is the first sentence, since it must have at least two winners (2D/3D) or four (x two parts).

"Deadline : may 17th"
For first part, I suppose. Can you clarify what you mean by "draw a rotation of the character"?
Like a face view, a profile view, probably a 3/4 one too?

Good contest.

Title? Mmm, should think more about it, but what about "Animate this!"
this => first part; animate => 2rd part.
Or something in this spirit.

82% of statistics in signatures are made up. :rip: (This is a recursive signature...)
Spreading them is un-original and sheepish. If you agree, copy this in your... wait, no! :D
No to signature clichés! You are on an art site, be creative!

I personally like to do it all... *looks over at her half completed models that are collecting computer dust*.... yup

Yeah, I guess the other option would be to have the winning model in obj or 3ds for (most software I've used allow those file types to be imported) and have volunteers to rig them in each software... but not sure how well that would work. I personally wouldn't want to volunteer because so far I've only fully rigged once. I've got two more planned, but like I said collecting computer dust at the moment.

I think the first is for the actual art/animation contest, and the second is for this naming contest.
