[@kitsune_9999]

Hey Zach sensei, it seems like fun, let's see if I find the time after work to make something cool and creative for this challenge. Greetings from Vienna

[@PhilipDenys]

i'm in, never did an animation vid before, but let's give a try :D

[@CGSTUDENT15]

[@fractalcucumber]

Hmmm Cov Philips has been added to the team ❤️ New course inbound? His work is beyond excellent.

[@cgboost]

Chances are quite high! 😜

[@fractalcucumber]

Take my money already 😅

[@nf_felix]

I guess I'm gonna compete then
could it also be a fantastical render (looking realistic)?

[@cgboost]

Hey, what do you understand as "fantastical render"?

[@nf_felix]

@@cgboost a scene set in a world like lord of the rings with the hero piece being a robotic dragon e.g.

[@cgboost]

@@nf_felix Sure, go for it, as long as it meets the other rules we set, this should be totally fine.

[@JitsDebnath-mp1ns]

hey , assume there's a existing robot design in movies or video games which i want to use , Can we? by modelling it on ourselves?

[@cgboost]

Hi, yes, the rules allow using an existing robot design, but we encourage creating something personal since this challenge is about creating unique robots made by you.

Hope i participate on this😢

[@cgboost]

Go for it!

[@adams6412]

this is i choose hampture and i am going to sue you that

[@engineersquad]

Trees can be robotic?

[@cgboost]

Sure, why not!

[@FunnyAmped]

Can the robot be free asset?

[@cgboost]

No, since the robot is the main subject, it has to be created by you. You can enhance it with details from downloaded assets.

[@neakybrown6088]

Can we put different kind of animals or just one

[@cgboost]

You can create as many as you like, it is not restricted to one.

[@neakybrown6088]

did you allow making robot design like chibi, small and cute type @@cgboost

[@CGSTUDENT15]

just keep it realistic or semi realistic@@neakybrown6088

[@cgboost]

@@neakybrown6088 Yeah just make sure they are not too simple, and you then render them in a realistic nature ambient and don't use a flat 2D shading.

[@mazherghabour]

What do you mean by "Video Codec: h.264"?

[@cgboost]

Hi, this is something you can set up when exporting a video from a program. In blender for example, if you select the ffmpeg video format, the encoding menu will appear. If you open up that menu you can set up different codecs under video section. You have different options there, including H.264 which is selected by default.
Hope this is helpful.

[@joshuaborner]

Are extinct animals ok too?

[@cgboost]

Sure! Looking forward to seeing it!

[@joshuavstheworld7]

2 months late...

[@cgboost]

No worries Josh, that's not our òast challenge :)

[@joshuavstheworld7]

@@cgboost Awesome! I ain't at the level yet but i do love these challenges. 😁

[@cgboost]

@@joshuavstheworld7 but there isn't a specific level to reach to being able to join :) The main goal of the challenge is pushing you to learn and get better, so you don't have to necessarily be already good :)

[@joshuavstheworld7]

@@cgboost Thanks! I will definitely do that. I'll be waiting for the next challenge!
