Go to this link (http://cid-c550f543800d86a2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/oct08.zip) , click on "Oct08.zip" or "Download" to download the scene file to your HD.
It contains one file, oct_haunted.ma for Maya users. Anyone using Blender, XSI, or any other application taught by DT please PM me if you are interested in joining. I will send you the scene file in your application's format.
Project:
The scene contains an island which is haunted.
There are three locations; volcano, swamp, graveyard. All three locations have set and locked cameras.
Pick any one of these three camera views and create a scene based upon their title in the given geometry, and within the haunted theme. For example, a person using camera_swamp will have to create a spooky swamp.
People who are doing animation are not limited to the scene's camera views or resolution. Though they still need to send me one image of 720x486 as a poster of their animation.
-Still images are good though animation is a plus (see voting detail below**)
-Render the final image through any one of the three scene cameras' view.
Rules
- You can add to the scene, include increasing the geometry and using the deform tools to modify it, but you cannot delete or move any existing objects or cameras.
- Gore and vulgarity is not allowed.
- Maya users will find all objects including the cameras locked, so there is no issue of accidentally moving something.
Duration
September 25th to October 30th.
Application
Even though the scene is in Maya's format you can use any software covered by Digital Tutors, or a freeware 3D application like Blender.
Requirements
1. Create a thread under the October 2008 forum with the title of your project (October08: project), and post your progress at least three times during the month.
2. Specify your user level with the application of choice.
3. Your final entry should be rendered through the provided scene's camera resolution, 720x486.
4. DT provides unlimited amount of gallery space to members so please upload your final entry in any of the DT galleries. You may also upload the entry on your website or a photo sharing site but the link should be on DT under your project's thread.
* Any entry uploaded as an attachment will be uploaded to MonthlyProjects_Gallery account, which will devoid the creator of that work of any comments or suggestions. In other words, it's not a good thing.
Poll
- A poll will be posted on October 31st that is going to include all entries where members can vote for their favorite work.
** An animation project will automatically have two votes in addition to votes by DT members.
