Everyone has played at least one board game in their life time. Here's your chance to CG your favorite board game.
Please download the attached Maya scene. It contains a board. You can add geometry to it, alter its width and length, but you cannot transform it to any other shape other than a board.
You may take your board game to another level and really bring it to life (hypothetically) but your end result should show that it is a board game. For example, if it's Snakes & Ladders you can create real snakes popping out of the board etc. Think of Jumanji and Zathura. Hope that makes sense.
I am not going to bind you with a preexisting scene camera for this project as you might want to explore different perspectives and camera's depth of field.
-Still images are good though animation is a plus (see voting detail below**)
Project Requirements
1. Resolution: 720x486
Note: People who are doing animation are not limited to this size, though they still need to post an image of 720x486 as a poster for their animation.
2. Create a thread under the December 2008 forum with the title of your project (December08: project), and post your progress at least three times during the month.
3. Please include a brief description of the game, its objectives, number of players, and how to play it.
4. Specify your user level with the application of choice.
5. 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.
Rule
- Gore and vulgarity is not allowed.
Duration
November 26th to December 30th.
Application
You can use any software covered by Digital Tutors, or a freeware 3D application like Blender.
Poll
- A poll will be posted on January 1st that is going to include all entries where members can vote for their favorite work.
