This thread is for the discussion of everything related to this weeks theme and models. Be it critique, suggestions, or just general chat about your favourite.
Also feel free to post other models you were thinking of submitting or other ideas you had around this weeks theme.
I have personal connection to this theme. Iāve spent several months (accumulated) in the high arctic, during the dark of winter, living in tents, improvised shelters, and yes even Igloos. Where I live can be considered sub-arctic although with the temperatures being 95F the last week it doesnāt feel like sub-arcitc right now. Maybe Iāll tap into my memories and try to think of some cool models.
It seems there was a denial of competition submitions as of now, only three people submitted to this weeks competition, while last weeks competitions had about six submitions.
are you referring to theme suggestions, or actual models people submitted? in either case, no submissions have been deniedā¦ and this round is open through saturdayā¦ plenty of time left!
Didnāt someone say that post-effect things were against the rules?
Not trying to sound rude, but I, and a majority of others have not bought Qubicle, so the animated pictures due to exported files make others look like dog poo in comparison, and it is something we cannot do with the free versions of Qubicle.
@RoseyNineOneOne Ups, I am not aware of that. If that is the case, I will remove my entry of course. I actually did want to contribute something as there where only two entries so farā¦ to keep the competition going a bit. As the topic is not my favorite this week I have decided to work on a submission where at least I learn somethingā¦ thatās how I ended up with this rendered picture.
Update: Thinking about it, what @RoseyNineOneOne is saying does absolutely make sense. This is a Qubicle-Competition, so post production should be not allowed to make the submissions comparable and not provide any advantage to people who do have more tools at their disposal. I have adjusted my entry with a version which is only created in Qubicle.
@SteveAdamo and @SteveAdamo If this is not in the rules yet for this competitionā¦ I would support that a condition like that will be added.
Whilst Steve is great, I think mentioning him twice is overkill
On a serious note though:
I remember something like this, my apologies @RoseyNineOneOne for some reason I thought this was against animation, and so can only be seen as a bit of an oversight on my part!
So hereās the thing then, I agree that we shouldnāt allow submissions with any post-production, and so Iāll alter the rules to specify that.
We can then go a step further and say āOnly models can be submittedā as in, not a part of a scene, regardless of whether that scene is made in Qubicle or not. What are your thoughts on this? And yours @voxel_pirate?
This would level the playing field a lot, I mean obviously some people may see your work @voxel_pirate or indeed the work of @Froggy and feel slightly disheartened from entering, so I am in favour of simply stripping it back to simply the models.
There has been no denial of an entry in any way, these competitions are open to every single person on the forums regardless of ability, the only reason I would delete or deny an entry would be if it was in no way relevant to that week, or was obscene in some way.
The lower submission rate could be many things, a lull in activity,or people not wanting to participate this week, who knows.
