The Psychedelic 60s Contest

[Dr. Feelgood]

Whoever said SMC wasn't into spreading peace, love & sunshine bunny hugs obviously never considered entering this contest... so wind back the clock people, 'cos it's the 60s, and we want to see your creative prowess of cars from this famously funk-a-delic era.

-------------------------

So here it is, pick a ride from the 1960s era ('60 to '69) and model, texture and render it up to show the SMCars.net community that you are truly the King (or Queen) of the 1960s automotive scene.

-------------------------

Contest Specifics:

- The modeling, texturing and rendering of one 1960s vehicle.

- Your ride can be any wheeled vehicle from the 60s; car, truck, motorbike, ect.

- It can be low, mid or high-poly, however technical execution will be taken on-board when it comes to judging.

- Model is to be shown in the Pyschedelic 60s section, with the heading "60s Contest: *car make/model*", and kept up-to-date as much as possible.

- Final renders must include a Front and Rear shot. Other renders are welcome, however aren't compulsory.

- No teaming up. This must be solely your own project.

- Models must be built from scratch for this Contest. No using old works.

-------------------------

Day Of Peace:

The Day Of Peace, the time by which you must have your creations finished and ready for judgement, is the 8th of June, 10am GMT. That's right, 2 months as of the opening of this thread.

As for the prizes, 1st, 2nd and 3rd entries will be awarded an Official SMC Medal, personally designed by our very own and very talented, Niray.

[Catlin]

Well can we modify our cars too?

[Krystian]

So I'm in with Lamborghini Miura from 1966.

But there is one problem.. Can I start modelling from next weak (18~19) ? 'Cos for now I have too many work in school. Hope that isn't a problem.

[NightEye]

If I can find some time, I'm in with a Trabant 600 Kombi (probably)

[Johnas]

Thanks for the list Catlin And about the tuning... I'd say no since it doesn't fit the spirit of this contest.

@janusz

Of course! Just make sure your car is finished for the Day of Peace

[NotLawMCO]

I think i am going to have to give this one a try hehe

I will enter with a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette

[Nik]

No way you did that list Catlin, you dont even know 50% of the cars .

I think I stay out, to busy with work and jada jada.

[_RicH_]

I'm in with an Aston Martin DB5, will be mid-poly.

[Niray]

Mmmm... psychedelic... sounds good... Haven's I said this already?
Definitely considering to enter this contest!

So, what is to be psychedelic in our models? Does it mean we can make some psy textures, addition parts etc?

Thank you for this über-awesome contest

[NightEye]

It's the 60ies, so flower power all over it
Fluffly mirror things, couches in the trunk, flowers painted on the car.. That sort of stuff

[Nik]

Great decision Rick, you got my vote .

[prayas]

As this contest is about my fav. era of motorized transportation i will join. As i have been doing a lot of new bikes lately i think i will join. As this challenge will end on my birthday i can't forget the deadline and so will join.

ha ... so now i need to figure out which bike i will do. Something british maybe. A Norton? Hmm we'll see.

P..:

[rcat]

I'd certainly like to enter with a Ford Mustang.
Sure hope I can do justice to this American classic.
So no tuning though?, not even contemporary alloys?
At least I could put classic Bullitt wheels on.

[Johnas]

Of course you can put parts on it which existed at sixties

[NotLawMCO]

well, since someone else is already doing a 66 'Vette, i think i will change my car to somthing a little more... different.

I will be doing a 1967 Ford Fairlane 500, 4 door sedan (my personal car too...)

[helicase]

I think if I enter I would do the Maserati Birdcage (1961), or Bizzarrini GT Strada. lucky i got a five view pic. of these cars or else i wouldn't want to do anything haha.

[NightEye]

The white one looks cool. Good luck

[helicase]

Yeah i think i will be attempting the Maserati , My roommate said thats the one i should do too. Its a nice car.

[ibeam]

good luck with it. the car's gorgeous but looks like a challenge.
