  Tough contest - amazing work all around! The team has chosen DEEPS as the winner; he has good metal work and design, but many of you had as good; but he has committed to making each and every model type for us and is halfway done. We will be making offers on the other models after he completes the project and we award the prize. Its been great working with all of you, this was really fun. If we had to do it allover again, we would have just contracted with each of you for a separate model, but we didnt realize there were going to be so many great submissions. FREELANCER doesnt allow us to split the prize unfortunately! But its great to have met these great artists and hopefully you will consider some private contract jobs to round out our collection of mechs.

     Excellent thank you I1enVantev, we are identifying and organizing what else we need done! - BTW we will incorporate all artists into the final credits of the game, in the print materials and online.

  The next mechs we are doing are variations on these 6 chassis types, we just need to adjust the 3D models slightly for them. (There are 3 weight classes for each chassis so we will change the weapon loadouts, make the model a little bigger or smaller etc...)

  • 7 years ago

  • 7 years ago

  From there - we will give jobs to create the 3 weight class variations of those mechs after the contest.

  Ah okay extended and reward increased a bit. We need a working prototype for all the mech types. RJ and STealth Assassin are covered. Need a good shiny metallic and lit up tetrapod. A heavy solid armored tank (Deeps tank is on the right track). a Clean Blue Modern Corporate Engineer (not scratched up). The bi-pedal will work well with gurgenidze's design, if that doesnt show up we will jsut commission him to make one for us. And finally the big bad locust mech which should just be gun metal and ominous looking.

  WE have another contest going for just weapons here: https://www.freelancer.com/contest/Paint-D-Weapons-981633.html We used some of your examples just to explain. BTW After the winner of this original contest is picked (just waiting on some additional submissions) we will make offers for the specific other pieces we would like to use.

  This is pretty tough we are not sure who to select yet. It may require a quick meeting tomorrow morning after the contest ends. We're trying to organize which winner to select and then which one's to buy or commission changes to. Sorry we havent selected someone yet. Sabra you should still have some time. Oh i guess we can extend it on our end. Okay extending until tomorrow morning. (MST)

     • 7 years ago

     Hi Celmaicosmin Sorry! Our designer did a quick color replace in order to differentiate those two models. We wanted to showcase it as the leader but we didnt want to send the wrong message and have people make the different mechs looks the same. Quite the opposite we want each to have their own style while all fitting within a general concept. The Stealth Assassin mech and the Engineer mech in particular are opposite style ends.

  FYI that illustrated mech in the city by EBO is a perfect background and has perfect scale. (Upper right illustration in feedback diagram) But we are happy to see other backgrounds. Warehouse or Mech Assembly style garage, Wasteland cities. These are other locations we will use. Our primary locations are neon, futuristic cities and wasteland cities. Here are our two game board maps upon which 3D buildings will be placed. http://i.imgur.com/wds2tFs.jpg

  Here is shot of the Player Boards our graphics guy is playing around with. Here he is testing Gurgenidze's mech. This is just an internal exploration of concepts. (We wont actually use this mech image unless we purchase it.) http://i.imgur.com/iJ0ExvV.jpg This might give you a clearer idea of the first goal of these images. The secondary goal is to dress up the rulebook, boxes and have some promotional images. Thats why the images with backgrounds are also useful submissions.

  And a link to our current box cover art that we are trying to change to much more digital look using some of this contest's imagery. http://i.imgur.com/fgowD48.jpg But the primary use of these images, as mentioned below will be for Player Mech Boards that will track their mech's statistics, weapon loadout and damage.

  Yes, while the 3D models ARE being produced as physical miniatures for a board game; the images for this contest will be used primarily as artistic representations of the mechs on 6.5 x 6.5" player boards. They will also be used if possible in the rulebook, on the box cover, online to showcase mech types and general concept pieces for promotions. If the format doesnt work out to deliver it in a '3D format' thats okay! We just may request a couple different angles. The primary use for PLAYER BOARDS requires a more Straight On angle. (Doesnt have to be exactly straight on) As the mech boards will track damage to various parts of the mech. This link shows an OLDER version of the mech board: http://i.imgur.com/lrwbg4B.png

  Hi CH. About the file format. Any file can be viewed only in his own native software. Here is the place where is stored all the info about material, texture, ambient light, light emissive materials. And the taking pictures thing you said about is called rendering and that can take hours in high resolution. :)). me and my colleagues here are use different softwares, mine is Keyshot but can be any other that are able to import stl, split it, and render it.

  • 7 years ago

  • 7 years ago

  FYI - We would love a format that can up loaded to something like SketchFab in high definition that will allow us to take our own shots but otherwise we will need a few different angles from you.

  So we apologize for any shift in direction in this contest, but because we cannot split the award up amongst a couple winners like we started to plan on when such good stuff was coming in. We will probably award the prize to the one that fulfills as many of our needs as possible, then individually buy the single mech submissions.

  We'll have some follow up jobs after the contest to render out some different versions of these models (we have light, medium and heavy, still trying to find a general theme for coloring to differentiate the weights) as well as a set of weapons to do.

  But since we actually still have over a day left. we may end up calling it early , lots of good submissions so far. We thought we would be able to split the contest prize amongst a couple of winners but I guess that is not possible. To that end we kind of have to go with the submission that gives us the most bang for the buck which means not just one of the top designs (Deeps, Ebo, Celmaicosin, Gevorgchepyan, Gurgenidze) but as many models done as possible, as differently as possible.

  Are these models going to be 3d printed toys ?, since the STL is triangulated and the UV's going to be a total mess. t i guess u don't care about that aspect. Tell me if u need this for a image promotion for these robots so i know how to treat the project. Most of these entries have the lightning effects done post process in photoshop and not actual 3d effects.

  Size Comparison diagram for Stealth and Engineer mechs uploaded

  Contest Holder

  • 7 years ago

  Wow celmaicosmin seeing these two together is awesome. You have their size comparison perfect (the reverse jointed mech is one of the smaller mechs.) At this point we cant really ask for anything more but we would LOVE to see the stealth assassin paired up with the Engineer because those two come together in a bonus pack. Awesome stuff.

  This contest is getting crazy. You guys are doing great. There are so many good submissions we will probably close it out a little early. As we try to narrow this down lets discuss format - We will prefer files that we can view in a 3D viewer and take pictures of as necessary - or alternatively high res images from a few angles etc... We will be posting some of the uses of these images later today. But for a quick explanation we were primarily going to use these on mech boards (player boards) and if they looked cool enough some concept / thematic shots on the box and rulebook.

  The new 4 legged mech (Tetrapod) is probably just too tron like, but its great to see the texture techniques applied so quickly to other models. The metallic engineer mech (the floating one) is extremely use-able. would like to see a little more ...shine, realistic texture but we still love it. Good to see an 'artsy' or illustrated look. For consistency we will probably lean towards more digital less illustrated, but we will probably buy this image off of you after the contest. We can use it for concept art!
