Becasue some of us would like to keep our really cool models to ourselves.

[IceFire]

Yay, I can enter into the rendering contest.

I meant models could not be from pre-existing mods.  Renders can be whatever, but have to be new.  So should the models.

Anyone interested?    

There's been a lot of growth in the modelling here, so how many of you guys want to try your hand at another one, hmm?

What say, oh.... one month, judging in the first week of january.  Or would people want more time?

Would they have to be new, or ones that have been done already?

[Shrike]

Read the post above yours.  

[WarpStar]

Hehehehehehe  

I'm only asking cause I did a model a while ago that I wanted to submit.  Ah well, better luck next time  

[NeoHunter]

Wow. Another model contest. Sounds like fun.

I don't mind in January. Besides, I may be going into the Army in Feburary. What better time to try again then just before going intot he Army?

Alright, how about Renders for the end of January, and Models by the end of February?  We'll do voting at two different times.

Renders can be of anything, as long as they're at least vaguely space-sim related, models, as before, must be original.  Also, this time we aren't going to accept ones from pre-existing mods.

Ok, I'm cool with that.    Expecially after recent events... (see initial reply in Thunder's "We have a problem" thread for more info)

Then how about this:  The modeller can CHOOSE to allow the mesh to be released.  That way, those that want to hog all their meshes can keep them to themselves while those of us that would like to share our creations with the community can.

What kind of restrictions on the renders?
Minimum size? text? etc...

Umm...  When you say render, is that restrictetd to still images or avi as well?

CougEr

[Red5]

I think we should have a an all out 1 mission FREE MODDING FRED mission, where we can test our custom models, effects, sounds, and all else to see who has the best!

[Nico]

Is a high poly manticore made from scratch considered a new or an old model? Is it possible to use fs2 models in the renders, and so on?

How about the Render category is divided into best still and best animated?

[Shrike]

No movies.  I only expect we'd get a couple, so let's stick to still shots, that way more people can participate.  Plus, movies take a lot longer to do.

Secondly, a high-poly Manticore model would indeed be considered an 'existing' model.  I'm trying to get you guys to be creative here.  Plus if I let people do high-poly version of FS ships, that kind of lets the door open for models of any other ship out there as well.....

Ahh, and these limitations are only for the modelling portion.  Renders can be with whatever models you can get your paws on.  So go wild.

umm I like that!
Also I think the model should be the same for all.
 As a client description.
  Obviously it will be a craft.
 Let someone  deceide the specifics: size class and armament, for all.

Like that it will have to be a new design. and one that can be compared and scored easier.  
Ohh yes... something to stop the smart ones... it has to have a specific insignia. Same for all.  Something like: MOD-COMP2 text has to be integrated in the design.

   
 
Hang on...  that was published  before I posted this so I guess only low poli FS1 or 2 theme is valid.

a high poly manticore is obviously for renders  
it has quite a different look tho, much more like the one on the concept pic (there's a pic of the unfinished model somewhere in the forum)
K, I'm working on a nice render for my campaign, that will be my render contest entry

nah! you can do whatever you want, the tbl isn't important, it's how the model looks that matters  

[CougEr]

First of all a world without conflicts.
Then lets get rid of famin
Next, another Christmas, this time in May.

Am I on the right track?
