We all know that as 2007 draws to an eventful end and a new year is upon us, that there is an ever-increasing risk of a zombie out-break...
We, at SMCars.net, feel that it is our job to increase overall zombie awareness in our growing community, and to do this, I put forward to you our first contest to kick off 2008:
"When Zombies Attack!!".
-------------------------
BRAAIIINNNS...
To test the creative & technical juices of our community, the challenge is this: C
reate a vehicle that YOU would feel most safe and most dangerous to zombies in.
This vehicle could be anything; a truck, a tank, or even a tricycle, but it MUST be a land-based vehicle, so no flying, Hindenberg-esque, anti-zombie fortresses. You can coat your vehicle in razor-wire, weld on some machine-guns, add a launcher that fires a screaming blonde cheer-leader as a distraction, whatever YOU would want on your vehicle in a zombie invasion.
-------------------------
Contest Specifics:
- The modeling, texturing and rendering of one anti-zombie ground-based vehicle.
- Vehicle can be of own design, or a existing design with tweaks to with-stand a zombie attack, eg: a Koenigsegg with spikes, guns... snow-plow
- Model is to be created from scratch, with no use of existing elements of your old work or somebody elses.
- Model poly/tri-counts can be anything; low-poly, mid-poly, high-poly, it doesn't matter. Technique should still be excercised depending on your choice, eg: poly-flow, topology, texture-sizes if your model could be for a game, ect.
- Model is to be shown in the WZA WIP section, with the heading "
WZA Contest: *name of creation*", and kept up-to-date as much as possible.
- Completed models to be rendered into two main shots showing off the design at it's best angles. Studio renders would be fine, however creativity within renders is advised.
- No teaming up. This must be solely your own project.
-------------------------
Z-Day:
Z-Day, the time by which you must have your creations finished and ready for judgement, is the 31st of March. That's right, 3 months as of the opening of this thread. Prizes are as follows:
1st: Official SMC Gold Medal
2nd: Official SMC Silver Medal
3rd: Official SMC Bronze Medal
Creations will be mainly judged on creativity and design, however technical profficiency will also be a high scoring factor.
-------------------------
Hints & Tips:
- You should also keep in mind that these vehicles could be bashed up a little from the pre-running over of zombies, and therefore you might want to consider blood splatter and damage to your works.
- This is an imaginative contest, based on unique designs and ideas, and not one hell-bent on whether or not your design would in-fact actually work!!
- Watch "Land of the Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" for some ideas.
- Take a look around your house and garage for items that could violently and hilariously impale an undead human being.
