Hello folks, as the DarkTopia(DB 3D Chat team) move forward, I bring you two challenges and moreless opputunities to display your skills.

Challenge #1: Banners, Billboards, and Glamour.

The Competition: Make any 200x150 pixel or 300x200 pixel image to be shown in the DB 3D chat.

The Rules:
-The image most be 100% created by you. No Exceptions
-The image can be in any image format you like, though I prefer .bmp if possible.
-You must post your image in this post, or a link to your image in order for it to be entered.
-You must have no problem with us putting the image in the DB 3D
-Your entry can be of your latest hit game coming out, your team website, a cool graphic, a mini comic strip ,or just about anything.

Why?: Have a new hit game coming out? Wanna advertise your website? Maybe you just love to make cool graphic designs. It's an oppurtunity to get your work shown in the DB 3D chat.

Judges: The Lead members of the DB 3D chat team will pick the ones we like and feel approprite for the DarkTOPIA area. We'll recognize you if you put a lot of time and effort into your banner. (Heck, if only ten people enter, there's a good chance you'll get your work shown anyway.)

Deadline: Not set. We'll be taking entries as long as we'd like to.

Challenge #2: 3D Models

As mentioned in the other 3D chat topic, you'll be able to submit a model for use in the DarkTOPIA world.

The Rules:
- 1,000 polygon limit
- 512x512 texture map (256x256 texture size preferred. We may reduce the uv map if we feel little quality will be lost.)
- 330 total frames of animation.
0-60 Walk
61-90 Sit(in chair sitting position)
91-120 Getup (From chair sitting position)
121-150 Shake Hand
151-180 Wave
181-210 Idle
211-270 Make your own custom animation
271-330 Make another of your own custom animation
- Model must be posted in .x format. Texture can be posted in any format, but .bmp is preferred.
- Only models posted here with a link will be entered into the DB 3D Chat.
- The model must be 100% yours.
- You must not have any problem with us putting the model in the DB 3D chat.

Why?: Get your work shown off in the DarkTOPIA world. Brag that you made an awesome model. This is also your chance to make your own unique character for you!

Judges: The Lead members of the DarkTOPIA team will pick the ones we like and feel approprite for the DarkTOPIA area. We'll recognize the models that have time put into them, and adhere to the rules. At launch, I expect we'll have about 15 different avatars, so the majority will be from here! (more avatars will become availiable, but we want to keep as small a filesize as possible during release.)

Deadline: Not set. We'll be taking entries as long as we'd like to.

And before you tell me: "Why not have your own character creation system?" Well, I'm working on it.

Let's see if this PNG link plays nice. Created from a screen shot from a rag-doll puppet demo that I made based on one of Walaber's excellent tutorials.

I made a chess piece(a king).

I'm bad at modeling so I decided to make a Lathe in 3DC.

Is this just a link exchange? If so, I can enter a banner for my tutorial site and promote the 3D chat program on my site
Otherwise, I can make a few ones of Megaman Redemption

Upload a jpg, use the img tag on it, and upload the bmp

Hold off on posting any screenies please Mega.

@The Lynx:

The Lynx, you can enter whichever competition you like, or none at all if you want. If you want the enter that image though, please make it 300x200 pixels or 200x150.

@Ilya:
Ooo, a first model contribution. Thanks.

Keep the images coming, I see lots of good stuff here to litter the area with.

I made one more model(a head).
I'm almost finished animating a model similar to the chess piece.

If a model has 2 or 3 textures how do I fuse them into one texture map(do I use the thing on the DarkMatter CD)?

Right now, I'm making another banner about the chess piece(with shadows and in the desert).

Skeletor, Lynx, do try to remain on topic please, but thanks for making your image smaller Lynx.

Ilya, what a great selection. I don't think I'm going to use any that promote language vs. language though. (The last few images are perfectly fine though.)

Indeed. While many people go for the big banners, the small ones remain empty, thus there'll be smaller competition for the small banners.

Im not entirely sure for legal reasons if we can use some of these. I.e. "darkbasic is bettter tnan blitz"... Im not going to allow something that could put us at risk from anything, especially copyright infringements or stuff like that(ok, i dont know copyright law...)

The 3d chat is coming...
In the meantime, come in the IRC. Ask me for details!!.

MikeS- I assume you got my email alright (I don't know if I typed it right), and I do not want the watermarked one be my entry.. Would it be ok for the one I emailed be my entry instead?

I'll post it here if you all promise not to hijack it .

the snuzi, it rolls of the tounge.
pig dung is close, actually its what i got from loading a pic of a 2yr old digital camera onto a 4yr old HP computer. it was origionaly a pic of a sketch on paper. I think it just coppied the image and placed it all over itself because it's simetrical in some places.
kinda neat tho.

first one based on this model:
