Additional Information
Top modelers will be asked to join the Pandora build team in creating a very epic final fantasy 13 map set (yes more than 1 map!) (not Necessarily just the people in the top 3). Animators will also be needed! If you are interested in joining the team post here:
I hope 2 weeks is long enough... Any modeling compitions ive seen go for months because modeling isnt exactly a walk in the park. sure maybe making the model itself can be done quickly but UV mapping and textureing is a long process...
I'd love to win or place second for this :D
Oh and since I am going to try this I am so going to model Vivi cause hes my fav chara from the FF series
Hehe yeah, Like i said above, you do not need to include a extremely high detail but it does not hurt your chances on winning. it is approximately 19 26 days.
Do you want us to animate / rig / texture / un-wrap them?
Because: It takes a long time to texture from scratch, let alone model, and I have little animation experience.
Edit: also, do you want the polygon optimized for gameplay or can it be cinematic polycounts?
Textured is required. And Polygon can be cinematic polycounts. If you look at the existing unit models up close their polycount is probably in the same neighborhood. Something around there is fine.
What polycount are you looking for? I haven't messed with SC2 modeling yet, so. Also, textured just as though they look in those screenshots? Do you need a .m3 file? A .obj file?
File type wont matter as long as 3ds can open it. 500-2000 range is what the units are in game. it's up to you really how good would you like it to look. it is the best looking model wins.
I hate to be *that* guy but..
"A 3d Modeler is needed for final fantasy 13 project."
Why make it into a contest than? You're just looking for someone for your project, not an actual competition to show off skills.
While good luck to everyone who joins the contest but my view of this contest is it's more of a sham - a request list.

Uh, isn't there some copy write infringement going on here? If blizzard decides for us to sell maps? Sorry to be *That girl.* Like if you model it yourself that's cool you know it's your art but like even people who make their own parodies get yelled at by big companies, good luck. On another note, and I don't model, I only draw. XD Wouldn't it be easier to import models out of a SE FF game and modify them from there? (Someone check that for me?) Look at the fan film Haloid? The director/maker/epic win movie producer took models out of the two games, and made an epic movie. :D If you want to replicate a game in another game when we could just pay 60 dollars to play the game what is the point?:$? I guess in the end good luck, screw my two cents.
No one is selling a map O_o? The guy is rewarding people to make unit models for his map. And porting from another game would be copywrite infringement.

I am a HUGE fan of open source, that being said i will NOT opt-in for the paid program i will make sure it is FREE. That being said, i dont think square enix has ever sued anyone else in the past for making maps like Final fantasy open RPG in WC3 =) im pretty sure they are more worried about people making a boat load of cash off their product rather than a fan mode open source project based off starcraft 2.
Wost comes to worst i strip the name from it and call it starcraft Open RPG, use blizz models and you guys still get free stuff =) all my UI elements are stored in constants to changing the maps interface look would take only a few hours =)
this is imo a BIG fail...
i dunno, i'm interested in the game box, nothing else,m so i might join if i get around to scratch some time together!
but the theme is meh...
stealing an idea from another game, u guys arent creative nough to come up with an own concept?
Last time i checked the only converter that existed was for max tand didnt support animations...
also blender is not suitable at all at this moment, you could have linked milkshape, wings3d, gmax or any other program!
After u have clarified the rules i might reconsider, but until then
a 5000 Poly, rigged, unwrapped, animated, textured char has no room anywhere in my schedule....
technically it is not...
if u know what u r doing, but we arent on threedy.com, gameartisans or polycount.com or whatever, where the people already work in that area...
here people have to do other shit, too! (in real life i mean)
Also i would like to know why this project is supported by sc2mapster and not any generic modeling contest...

Detail around 3rd person view, nothing terribly fancy. The better it looks though, will win you first place =)

@Windexglow: Go
You dont want free stuff?
Free stuff! not a sham.
have a wonderful day =)
What kind of detail do you want? Something more like in Story Mode, or in melee games? If it matters.
I would personally find a higher poly model more fun, is all.

Curse PremiumI need more information on this.
One model of the following, correct?
Just the model + textures (color, spec, normal map) I'm assuming?
What is the polycount? Aiming for SC2 unit resolution or something higher?
Final product is just renders?
@SakiSakurai: Go
No one is selling a map O_o? The guy is rewarding people to make unit models for his map. And porting from another game would be copywrite infringement.

Im pretty sure he will eventually want these to be animated so he can use them.

IMO, bad entry, and bad modeling contest...
Oo, snow ? WTF ?
Well, good luck to everyone that will enter this contest :) . I'll skip this one.
The only model exporter that exists (and will exist) is based on 3dsmax, why are you imposing Blender!?
he's SUGGESTING blender, as a free modelling program. you can pretty easily get a model from blender to 3ds max which is used to get models in sc2 ;)
3DS Max FTW
this is imo a BIG fail... i dunno, i'm interested in the game box, nothing else,m so i might join if i get around to scratch some time together!

I don't know. I think making a model and a texture in 19 days is a little too much to do...
Hive had great contests. And wc3c as well. Creative contests!

@xXm0RpH3usXx: Go
I agree with this guy. Tho, I dont care. Let him be if you ask me.
Any chance to post up good reference images of these characters? I might be interested when I see what I'm dealing with - choice wise.
