Sithspecter 908 Posted June 12, 2014 I would like to announce a small modding contest to encourage some friendly competition and new mods in the community. The challenge is to create a reskin or a model of an item, character, weapon, lightsaber, etc. Sign up in this thread by Saturday, June 21st! Updates should be posted in this thread. Contest will run until Saturday, July 19th. Entrants should submit a minimum of three screenshots of their mod. Voting will run for 1 week. May the best modder win!

Kainzorus Prime 203 Posted June 13, 2014 Do you mean, enter the already completed mods, or create a new one until 21 June? Because a week is kinda steep time to make something decent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sithspecter 908 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Sign up by the 21st! You have until July 19th, at which time voting would begin. Length of time is negotiable due to the apparent lack of interest thus far. Unreleased mods only. Edited June 13, 2014 by Sithspecter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPhil 58 Posted June 13, 2014 Well, if nobody is going to sign-up for this... Well, I might as well sign-up, even though that's not raising the bar a lot. I'm working on a reskin for the Twin Sun, though it might be only one of em' by the end of the contest, depending how it goes.

Sithspecter 908 Posted June 13, 2014 All right! I'm signing myself up as well. I have a few things I'd like to break out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 13, 2014 So when do we have to have the first screenshots by? Can we choose to take vague pictures to attempt to keep it under wraps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sithspecter 908 Posted June 13, 2014 Can we choose to take vague pictures to attempt to keep it under wraps? This! Just make sure to have screenshots by July 19th! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPhil 58 Posted June 13, 2014 Hum, is it not the purpose of this to have feedback while creating-it and to be able to see how the reskin is done by the person so a greater understanding of the process may be achieved and other can try to do the same later-on? Just my 2 cents Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sithspecter 908 Posted June 13, 2014 I thought we were all supposed to keep our modding knowledge a closely guarded secret... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InSidious 235 Posted June 14, 2014 I can't guarantee I'll finish anything, but I'll sign up for this as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 14, 2014 This! Just make sure to have screenshots by July 19th! That's great and everything, but I feel like we should probably be posting stuff on here so that any potential viewers of this thread don't just end up getting bored because of the lack of updates.

Sithspecter 908 Posted June 14, 2014 Post screenshots but don't look like you're trying to post screenshots. I don't know...post screenshots casual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 14, 2014 Post screenshots but don't look like you're trying to post screenshots. I don't know...post screenshots casual. Rrrrawrrrr rrroorrrrwwrrrr! Anyways, I'll start the party 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sith Holocron 2,452 Posted June 14, 2014 Rrrrawrrrr rrroorrrrwwrrrr! Anyways, I'll start the party UMM? (As in the "Ultimate Man box Mod"?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 14, 2014 It is a box, but it's more about who's in the box. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malkior 472 Posted June 14, 2014 I hope the name isn't a misnomer where he's just an innocent guy with an unfortunate name. Or perhaps he is more nefarious than he appears?... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sith Holocron 2,452 Posted June 14, 2014 Will there be a blinking blue light on top? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zbyl2 811 Posted June 14, 2014 Oops I finished... well almost I guess I better expand the scope of my project. I can imagine modelling the inside could take a while Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 14, 2014 I can imagine modelling the inside could take a while Well yeah, it's much bigger on the inside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malkior 472 Posted June 14, 2014 Also depends on which doctor/iteration you're going with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VarsityPuppet 1,085 Posted June 15, 2014 Well, It's going to probably going to be more of an amalgamation of the different versions. This one has the St. John's Ambulance sticker on it but it's colored more like the 10ths. A potential interior may take several components of all of the Tardis designs.

Mephiles550 221 Posted June 15, 2014 Well yeah, it's much bigger on the inside. I know next to nothing about Doctor Who, but isn't the Interior of the Tardis supposed to be incredibly spacious? Maybe you could replace the Ebon Hawk model with the Tardis, and going inside the Ebon Hawk could still make some sense. XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InSidious 235 Posted June 15, 2014 Oops I finished... well almost I guess I better expand the scope of my project. Really, really nice - though don't forget the glass in the windows. I actually tried my hand at this years and years ago, though I did a really lousy job, and misjudged the scale quite spectacularly: (This image is dated 24/06/2006, according to my computer - years and years wasn't an exaggeration. You can see why I never uploaded this pic before. ) I can imagine modelling the inside could take a while Well, that can be sped up a little with block transfer computation, of course... Well, It's going to probably going to be more of an amalgamation of the different versions. This one has the St. John's Ambulance sticker on it but it's colored more like the 10ths. A potential interior may take several components of all of the Tardis designs. If you're going to do an interior, there are only two contenders. The first is the original console room: And the secondary console room: Which was used for Season 14, for the run from The Masque of Mandragora through to The Robots of Death. For reasons of practicality, the secondary console room might be easier: the primary during the first six years of the programme tended to shapeshift as space allowed, although you could probably combine the console and contents with the rough layout shown from The Three Doctors on: So far as I can recall, at some point they added a pair of doors to this last one in the wall by the fault-locator and the scanner, on the right side as you look in from the doors, in the first shot. That was also the side used when they added interior doors to the original design, too, as I recall, for The Edge of Destruction (which is set entirely in the TARDIS, if you need to get an idea of the layout). ETA: A much fuller/longer exploration of the TARDIS interior is seen in The Invasion of Time (episodes 5 & 6), but I'm not sure I'd recommend trying to model that... More seriously, the Cloister is seen in Logopolis, and the zero room (and a lot) of corridors in Castrovalva, as well as a couple of bedrooms in various Davison stories.
