Welcome to Sensei Challenge # 5!

[Jedilaw]

Hello all,

Today marks the beginning of Sensei Challenge No. 5: Greebles! For full instructions, see this anouncement thread. Here's a handy excerpt:

Because greebles are a wide-open category, the judging for this competition will necessarily be somewhat subjective. The Sensei will be considering the following criteria, among others:

1) Level of detail achieved (how far beyond a chamfered box have you taken your greeble?)

2) Originality

3) The "cool" factor. By that we mean the degree to which the greeble makes you immediately want to say "man, that looks really cool!" In other words, is the design something that is immediately striking?


Here are a few rules for this challenge:

1) The greeble must be entirely your own work. In other words, you cannot simply modify a piece from an existing greeble set, nor can you combine multiple pieces from an existing set.

2) No greeble plugins or scripts are allowed, neither is any premade geometry (basic primitives are fine to start with, of course).

3) Your final image should be an un-textured "clay render." We want to be able to judge the modelling on its own merits, not affected by textures or lighting effects.

4) Final render must be 800 x 600.

This challenge will commence on Monday, February 12. Deadline for submissions is midnite on Monday, February 19. By midnite, we are referring to midnite in your local time zone, Monday night (not Sunday night).

If you have any questions, please post them in that thread, or elsewhere in "The Ring."

Thanks,

Team Sensei
