3D Challenge

It's time to gather up your creativity, pull together your talents, and get ready for a new mini challenge!
The F-Zero one we did in 2007 was a pretty big hit so here is another older title to gather inspiration from.
So lets see all those kick ass vehicle designs for the Jet Moto universe.

You have 14 days to finish with the following specs:

- 1024x1024 of ANY and ALL texture sheet types. Example, one Normal sheet, one Spec sheet, one Gloss sheet, one Glow sheet, etc.

- 8,500 triangles for your vehicle of choice

- You may model a base for your vehicle and that will not be counted against your texture or polygon budget.

- All lighting solutions from any software package is permitted.

- All shaders are permitted.

- Posting your work in progress in your own wip thread is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY.

- Jet Moto Challenge - USER NAME (should be the format you use for your threads, changed for perna...)

- The Jet Moto Challenge will end on Friday July 17th.

Good Luck to all those who enter!

HA! Bitchin!

kick ass!!!! Look really cool... now I sound like a blond... LOL

I might be entering, have a few ideas...NOW: lets discuss business, what do we "WIN"?!??!?

Sounds cool! In for the practice :P

my digital tutors concept car modeling will come in handy for this

OH HOLY CRAP I have been wanting to make one of these forever.

MAN I wish I could devote some time to this right now.....this is going to be awesome!

Jet Moto has always been a favorite of mine, I wish someone would get the rights to this and bring it back! I'd love to play a new Jet Moto game on one of my current-gen consoles!

"The F-Zero one we did last summer was a pretty big hit so here is another older title to gather inspiration from"

Whaaaaat? If i remember correctly there were like 10 entries lol

Yeah kwakkie but those entries were awesome.

Just what I needed to get over my recent layoff! woo!

I cant find anything under jetmoto, is it basically just bikes without wheels that hover and are propelled by rockets? :3

I could use the motivation. Ive been doing nothing but lurking for ages.

Wha? Are we on different internets? did you try google?

But yes, you are basically correct.

Sounds cool. Question though. How much of a tangent can we go with the designs. Can I design something that say resembles a wheel or does it have to look like a crotch rocket? How about just a bike of any kind in general?

sounds pretty cool. is there any reason the deadline is so soon for such a large comp?

I realized a little bit ago that I still had my PS1 copy of Jet Moto 2, so I got all excited and fired it up in my PS3 to take some pictures, but my camera kept blurring or getting the wrong angle while I kept sucking at the racing and eventually I got so pissed I turned it all off and punched the universe in the face.

Probably going to enter though once I chill out with some freezie pops.

this would be a great challenge to enter but Ive just joined a mod team sooo maybe another time hey

ps the people currently entered are making some great designs good luck finishing

I really want to join this. Only problem I can't texture at all!

14 days is a bit tight innit? For a full vehicle asset, most likely with highpoly, in spare time?
I'm only complaining 'cos I got back from holiday today and only have 9 days left

quit whining, and get modeling.

well, its kinda tight for me too, get home from work late where you sit 9 hours in Maya, then you get home and push on...a time extension anyone?

So it's like 5 days left?
What about the driver? Is a fullbright grey silhouette okay?

A little time extension would be happily received by this entrant also seeing as I only discovered the comp yesterday, lol. I also work full time so coming home after a full day of 3dsmax during work hours may leave me struggling to spend every night at home unwrapping and texturing the beast before the week is out!

There's only so many continuous time blocks of autodesk software you can take! lol


Oh yeah and if there is no extension, whats the actual submission time (EST) on what day? All it says in the description is that voting starts on the 4th?

So whats the word jesse? We getting a small extension? I just started yesterday.... =P

EXTENSION!!!!!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?sorry, got carried away, right now I have a hand on a brick that continous smacks me everytime I look away from the screen or open firefox, and the other one on the mouse...
