MMC August 2010 - Streetless cities

Post by theuns »

The challenge theme is "Streetless cities"...

Let's see some 'inmgenuity', as marcel puts it ;) This was one of the ideas marcel suggested in the idea pool thread and i liked it a lot, so thanks marcel...

Examples : suction tubes, rolling ball basket pipes, Tarzan vines ala Spiderman style, floating bubbles, escalator type floor strips, robotic flying swing benches (like hanging veranda benches), giant sling shots into polystyrene piles or giant spider webs... the possibilities are endless...

Basic Rules:
1) Use your own work. No pre-made purchased or free models, please. Only exception is trees and plants. The idea is to show how you are working and what technics you use.
2) Start a Work In Progress Thread (WIP) for your submission. There is no limit as to how many separate art work WIPs you desire to create!
3) Final image submissions should be no larger than 800 x 600 in dimensions. A link to your WIP is also suggested (even though I'm sure that most people are viewing them during your creative process)...A WIP is a fun and entertaining place to be !!!
5) You can use any 3d program that you have a license for. Post processing with a Paint Program to enhance lighting or environment presentation is fine.

Deadline:
-This Month's competition will start 10 Aaugust and will continue until 31 August at midnight in your part of the world.
-Voting Poll will start 1 September and end on 10 September at Midnight in your part of the world.
-The Winner will be announced 11 September.

The Winner’s art work then gets the privilege of being in the MMC Winner's Gallery and also has the honor of picking a topic and hosting next month's MMC.

If the Winner from the previous Month receives the most votes in this Challenge the second place winner will become the new Host for next Month.

Most of all "Have Fun" and show us how you do it!

Made a few changes in the rules, mainly moved the deadline to 31 August around midnight in you part of the world and the voting between 1 and 10 September (might shorten that to 5 days)

We can extend it if participants would like to have more time...

please post your final entries here so that we can start the voting poll... will make it a lot easier for everybody that wants to vote for us...

here is my final entry... just didn't have enough time to realize it in detail as i wanted to and no time for proper texturing :( just used the standard roof tile shader of trueSpace...

so it is basically slider rails string across the sky between buildings with floater pods sliding along them, as seen in the foreground...
