Definitely going to be entering this one now that I have time.

Going to start first thing after work.

[thekapstok]

My first challenge.
Ill try to make something out of it.

[viddylan]

This'll be my first challenge. And I'll still be learning Hammer as I go!

Going to start later today.

[Severance]

so when you say any 3d software, i assume maya is ok? reason i ask is because its obviously not a game engine. i could do it in hammer but i can do it better in maya.

[Smog]

Maya is fine. Any 3D software can be used to re-create the image.

[Aalexanderrr]

Are there any other reference images that we can use for other 2 screenshots?

[AlexG]

Sorry Alex. This is the only reference I have.

[Aalexanderrr]

Ah allright then. :mrgreen: Cheers!

[sarge mat]

Great source image. Starting on it tomorrow. Given that the disruption of the last two weeks ends today I can have a load more of my time back for mapping.

[Billiz]

I'm going to pass on this one, I have to get started on my website. But I really like this challenge, I think it will all come down to texturing. That top middle section of the house looks really strange, is that plaster made to look like a cinema curtain or something?

[DerricktheW]

I think its red ribbed metal

[Wolfsage]

Hi, this looks like a good challenge the reference image is great.

But can you confirm the deadline?
The 26th March 2010 is a Friday...

So is the deadline on Friday 26th or Tuesday the 23rd?

[DerricktheW]

Just go by the 26th; Alex's math might not be perfect, but its too late to change the date now :lol:

[AlexG]

Ha.

It's Friday 26th.

Thanks for pointing that out.

[SlanT]

Can't participate :cry: but good luck to all of you

[AlexG]

3 days left! :D

Great work so far everyone. You still have all of friday. I will be collecting images saturday morning.

[sarge mat]

Good to know we have all of today. Just finishing it up at the moment.

[Zodd]

When does the voting start?

[AlexG]

Sometime later today.
