 | | New LDraw contest? —Orion Pobursky
|
| | | Given the recent activity with animations, I've been toying with the idea of an LDraw Animation of the XXX (where XXX is some specified time) contest. I think monthly is too short but how about quarterly or trimesterly? Is there any interest in (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | | (...) Quarterly would be okay, but i think bi-annual is more realistic. Most animations are still "infant" in nature, with the exception of one or two indiviudals that have learned to harnest the power of POV-Ray animation. -AHui A&M LWorks (URL) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

| | | | | | No way! I couldn't wait for a bi-annual competition. I'll admit that though I'm not so skilled with animation, I'm still learning and experimenting with new things, such as camera/model rotation etc. It might not even need to be a contest. It could (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Quarterly sounds pretty realistic. Bi-monthly would be better, but maybe too optimistic. Depends on how many people out there think that they can contribute ... speak up, folks! >Is there any interest in this? Lots!! I'm working on the Ldraw (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Quarterly sounds good to me too. Since this has the potential to be really cool, and its not as often as once a month, I wonder what the chance of getting people/companies to sponsor small prizes (less than USD 50 value) for the winners? Does (...) (20 years ago, 18-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I'm more into the animation festivals where everyone makes animations, the best are chosen, then they are all shipped on a DVD/VHS. Bimonthly? I imagine there would be 1 or 2 (...)

| | | | | | | (...) I say why not have both. I like Orion's idea of a web contest, its light, low overhead, and let the users decide the winner by voting. It will do well to showcase work and also to stimulate competition with little work output on Orion's (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

| | | | | | So what exactly has to happen to get the first LDraw animation contest going? I say give everyone until to the middle of June to submit entires and start voting and announce winners at the end of June. I think that should give everyone enough time. (...)

I know at least four different attempts, including my LDA2001. Maybe LD4D is the most promising so far. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.animation)

If not then adjust. If nothing else will show what can be done (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

This could also be tied to tutorials hosted on LDraw.org, and be used to encourage (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
