Hi

I have a question for the challeage . As I read one of the rules which is

'He or She could either be from an existing/established race from the game's universe or an undiscovered race.'

Does it mean that I can create a random character but he or she has to be either the ME or DA universe .

Rules saysCopies of existing pieces of art will not be reviewed for this challenge.

So New should work fine but with a new name..


Few Questions about

we would like to see the final turn-around textured of a full figure character model in either cinematic or in game resolution
(Cropped images are fine, but we will be looking at the full design)

You can use any 3D packages for the modeling and sculpting and any 3D render package for the turn-around shot (Maya, 3dsmax,XSI, Unreal, Marmoset, CryEngine etc.....)

Image Resolution: The minimum image resolution should be 1000 pixels wide and/or 1368 pixels high. Obviously the higher the resolution the better, as it involves more work for detailing.

Do we need to submit Video turntable as well as the Images(model sheet) of the character?

If someone wants to model a character for both the games..Do he/she have to make two wip threads with different DA or ME titles heading?

Do we have to mention the game resolution(poly counts or texture maps details) if he/she is going for a game resolution?

Awesome challenge indeed

[KapilChauhan]

thnx for your reply Zentrope....will keep that thing in mind

time to think something new..

[XenoBunny]

...I think I dropped a gold nugget!
Anything to get noticed by Bioware Edmonton.

Couple questions.
1. Anyone know where the WIP thread is?
2. This is my 2nd 3d challenge and I'm still a bit new, do we post sketches and mood boards initially?
3. So excitied! How is anyone going to decide whether to do DA or Mass? Or whether to do an Asasri or a Qunari?! GAH!

[RBranco]

[Sculpto]

Actually I planning to redesign my own Batman character at the first stage but since it is a big event for those ' EA game ' fans to become a part in the contest . Therefore I desired to change a bit of my character ' Batman ' and I will remove the 'batman logo ' from the chest and add more armor on my character when modeling in zbrush so people will realize I 'm doing the ME character .

Wondering if it will against the rule cause my friend suggested me to redesign an new character

[Rocki48]

Can make a few? for DA and ME

[KuroYuy]

I am so in!
xD

I got 2 questions~

1) How I submit it once it's finished

2) How long does the animation have to be for?

Hey guys

I'm Rodrigue Pralier, the lead character artist on Mass Effect and also judge on the challenge

I will try to answer as many questions as I can :

the final piece has to be a turn around picture, the model can be highres or a game model, and the character can be a main hero, a party member, an ennemy, a monster, an npc, anything you could think of and fits in the DA or ME universes


no restriction on the software, you can use what you want. The judging will be based on creativity, execution and presentation

For now the challenge is focusing only on 3D

The crossovers are restricted to Bioware games, crossovers with non Bioware licenses won't be reviewed


there is no limitation on polycount, model can be high-res or ingame res, no need to specify polycount or number of textures

The character can be completely new, your own creation but has to fit in the ME or DA universe

if you want to participate in both categories you have to create 2 different threads

hope this helps
