Boo! 3D model of a monster

  • Status: Closed
  • Prize: $240
  • Entries Received: 36
  • Winner: alcorn87

Contest Brief

We need a 3D model of a baddie (scary monster) for our game. The main constraint is that the baddie must easily fit into doorways, so in a walking posture, his maximum height should be 1.8m and width 0.6m. It should be a humanoid that is not too intelligent, i.e. zombies, werewolves, demons are ok, but human assassins or commandos are not. Other than that, the field is wide open. Design any scary monster you like. Please use metric system, i.e. 1 unit = 1 meter. You can use any tool you like to design your model, but the final output should be in Wavefront (i.e. obj) format. Use up to 10k triangles and textures up to 4k x 4k.

We are on a tight schedule and hope to recruit several 3D design teams to work for us in parallel. Hence, top contestants will be awarded follow on projects.

We are looking for original designs, copyright free, as we want to own all the rights to the final model.

For an inspiration, see the attached model of a werewolf. It would have been acceptable for our purposes, except that it is too wide. Your model does not necessarily have to be a werewolf though, this is just an example.

EDIT: your final design should have clothing of some sort. Also, we do not want things that are so creepy they will give you nightmares, just looking for a monster that you clearly would want to shoot.

    Thanks everyone for your hard work and creativity. This contest had so many strong entries, that it was really hard to decide on the winner. We've awarded 1st and 2nd place prizes. If your entry has not been chosen, do not despair. We may contact you later on, if we find a use for your character. Or we may contact you for other projects based on the skills you have shown here.

    Hello! Is there any chance of extending a deadline for 24 hours? I noticed the contest yesterday and I am working on it, but I am afraid I will run out of time...

    I was wondering whether or not you would like a normal map on the critter. I can do some magic with Zbrush. If you prefer a 2d texture I can go that route as well.

    Does this monster's mouth have some animation? Open-close animation for example. Or is it just a static mouth?

      yes, we want to be able to do open/close rather than static mouth

    It appears the contest got mistakenly locked by the freelancer system. Please be patient while I resolve the issue with freelancer staff. I will not be able to provide feedback on any entries until they do. Also, please continue working on your entries, this contest will continue.
