Hey, why so serious ? I'm sure Witness was just kidding, you guys need to relax. And in the case he wasn't, he never said that he wanted such a thread to be created on qhimm, and in the public section of all places. Just chill, people. I can't possibly be the only person who detected the humorous tone of his post (especially since it was made in reaction to Kuroda's vibrant post, where she basically said she is far from interested in undressing her girls - so his comment actually made me chuckle). You jump at his throat as if he had posted a pr0n pic or something.

Jenova's Witness joked about creating Nude Fantasy VII !!... ...The nerve !... ...Crush his balls ! Slice his penis ! Then burn the sicko at the stake !!!

Lets just move the conversion back on topic. Let's have no more talk of nude patches or anything of the sort. (and dont reply to this post about it).

As to the topic. Kuroda, perhaps you'd like to delineate a particular timeframe and we can get some word out. Links to various kimera tutorials would probably help those who arent too 3d inclined. I'll see if any particular price could be set up (sorry guys, don't count on cash :P)
 
Should there not be some sort of rules to the contest?


  • Is it only vertex shading, or are textured models allowed?
  • What is the theme of the characters, if any?
  • Is there a poly count limit?
  • What is the deadline date?
  • Anything else i missed.

As for prizes I will offer up a custom title to the winner, to be put to a vote.
 
@sl1982, There is no contest as of yet, thats why I didn't say any finer details regarding it.
But, regarding what you asked...

Any model is acceptable just as long as it matches the criteria of the contest and that you made it yourself by either splicing default FF7 models or making it from scratch.
They can be textured, they can be vertex coloured, they can even be completely one colour if you so wish.
Note, you cannot enter a model that you already submitted previously for a contest, or to the gallery.

The contest will last for 2 weeks for anyone to submit their entry to me by PM, DO NOT post a reply with your entry.
By the end of the two weeks, judging will officially begin and will last for several days and will be judged by a select group of people not affiliated with Qhimm to reduce personal bias.
Once Judging is complete, I will update the contest announcement post and post a reply to the thread saying who won the contest and what place they came in.

I will keep a personal record of any and all entries submitted for each contest, but only the first 3 places will be officially recorded in the Hall of Fame.

@Timu, I never really considered posting a Kimera tutorial, but here's a basic splicing tutorial I did previously for a student of mine.

@armourvil, I knew JW was joking, however, even as a jest, asking for such things is disgusting, violates forum rules, and had it any trace of genuine personal desire,  then I'd be rather inclined to block JW from my sight on Qhimm. While he'd still be there, I'd be quite happily oblivious, as no post or thread he made would show up for me.
There are some things you don't even joke about.
 
I think it would be best if the contest was judged by members of Qhimm.
 
I think its fine to judge by qhimm members, but perhaps do not label the artists names, simply provide the pictures and titles on the poll.
 
All entries will be submitted to me directly via PM, so I suppose I can make a thread here for each contest without any names.

However, based on the style of it, I believe it would be feasible to have 'rounds' based on how popular the contests end up being.

Such as randomly grouping sets of 15 into different threads, and whichever 3 from each thread get the most votes, we keep track of them and from all of the initial winners, move onto the next round, but more than likely...

I foresee about... 12+ people actually entering.

So for now, just a single thread would suffice if the judging is done by Qhimm.

However, I still believe that personal bias, friendships and feuds could affect it, because some the overall quality of the entry could make it more obvious as for who the entry belongs to, such as if its a higher quality custom made model, only a handful of people on qhimm know how to use modelling software well enough to make such an entry.

Even if we reduce the possibility for it, there is still a possibility the polls could be subject to favouritism, and I would prefer a panel of judges from a third party FF7 modding site do the actual judging under a set of conditions they're judging for.

Ie, an entry that best depicts the theme of the contest and has the best redesign choice coupled with the best model/texture quality, if textures are used.
 
The theme for this contest right now is...

'Medieval'.

I'll make a new thread giving the details, when the contest begins and everything else, as well as an example of what I mean by Medieval.
 
Your character modells look great! But, uhm, where exactly can I download them? (Please don't beat me ^^")
 
There aren't any downloads up yet.

I'm wanting SOME other people's work up before enforcing the download link being mandatory rule.

just so you know, every now and again I update the other posts.

I added civilian cloud V2 and leviathan for instance.

If you want, you could submit your Gi tribe redo of Red 13.

It would be decent to have something other than just my stuff.
 
Updated the first post with Kuroda Masahiro's Bastard Sword.
