Very nice

But I'm beginning to doubt I could finish in time Read: I just started.

edit: I can turn this into a wip spam? Hehe... I'm on a roll... 1 hour per rough pixelart side, not bad.

edit2: I have to do this more. I'm feeling... not exactly ecstatic, but definitely very happy about this, and I'm at some solid 40% of the process, I think

Hi all.
This steamer is little bit older than can be (1942), but still in traffic.

Hah!! Good work all you guys! This keeps getting more and more interesting!

[mEGa]

Isn't it ?
Beautifull work this steamer !

[The Hood]

Argh! Was really hoping I'd be able to compete in this one.  I've got a half-finished blend for the mersey ferry - maybe I'll find enough time in the next 3 days to finish it?

[gwalch]

I'm very sad ! I will never finish my boat this week... It's too difficult to learn using blender with such a boat, and with so little time . I will finish my boat, i hope, but not for this contest...

[VS]

The Hood - I will, so yes, you will, too

[The Hood]

I've found some time, maybe it's not too late.  Here's a snapshot of progress so far (does it look like the image in the first post yet?)

[sdog]

The Hood, VS you'll gona make it in time, i'm sure. Progress looks quite good.
gwalch, i'm glad you don't give up.

If any of you can't make it, post perhaps WIP shots, you'll be something like participants out of competition or so :-)

[The Hood]

OK, here's my contribution.  Hope it's good enough given the time I've had.  It's the Mersey Ferry from the first post; these have operated across the Mersey estuary in Liverpool since 1959.

[sdog]

... it's the last day.

[VS]

...and not 23:59 yet

Hood, congrats on skipping me before the finishing line!

edit: Nonzero progress

edit2: If anyone wants little 1x4 Simu-guys... you know where they are

edit3: Yes, I will make it, God permitting no disasters in this game of life. Remaining to be done - alignment and data.

[VS]

LOL, made it just in time with screenshot and all that stuff.

Veveří features:

• Made in the city of Brno, both original and pixels.
• Double player colour and lights
• Loaded images with passengers enjoying fresh air on upper deck - remember, no rain in Simutrans
• Revolutionary battery power from the sixties gives amazing performance of 15 kph
• No lifeboats. Grab a cork life jacket board instead? Or fight for one of the six lifebelts.
• Available since 1961 until 2011

Get it!

PS: I am... hard to describe this state with one word. My head hurts, my ears hurt, my eyes hurt, my brain doesn't hurt because it can't. I don't like the price.

[sdog]

congratulations for finishing VS!

there would have been a little more time:
as i write it's still 35 minutes left.

[VS]

Thanks You know, I halfway expected being disqualified because the deciding time was the other way.

Mods, feel free to merge my doublepost

Douglas Adams said: "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

The second SRGC is over now, with six submissions by: AEO, reytm2, mEGa, TommPa9, The Hood, and VS
(Let me know if i overlooked any of you!)

The jury president Zeno will assemble his jury. A public poll will be held in mid October November.
A reminder: The next SRGC starts in November and runs for about 3 months again.

A question: mEGa, TommPa9 your submissions look like pak128, is that correct?


ps.: VS, that double post fits the criterium allowing this quite nicely, some fundamental change has happened between those posts: you finished.

[TommPa9]

Absolutly! I have forgot to write it. It's for pak128... Sorry.

[ӔO]

here is a more proper 360 view that's scaled down to 128 size (but it's still incomplete as a png file for use in simutrans)


I can't figure out why blender fails to import collada files exported from sketchup, but the export seem to work fine in mesh lab.
here's the 3D data.

A question: mEGa, TommPa9 your submissions look like pak128, is that correct?

Yes it is.

[VS]

Yes for TommPa9 and me, too

[Combuijs]

A public poll will be held in mid October.

2011? Then I can predict (or postdict  ) the result: 0 votes casted. October 2012 is a bit late I guess...

[VS]

Combuijs - then it's up to just our Blender philosopher and the jury, I guess

Also, after some fact-checking I have to change my ship's retire date to... October 2011 Apparently, this season's last voyage two weeks ago was last indeed, they might be saving the other one. Sources updated.

My plan was found out, you know that's the key to successful basic democracy

[VS]

So, any progress...? Zeno seems to have disappeared

(I wanna include these beautiful ships soon!)

[Zeno]

So, any progress...? Zeno seems to have disappeared

Here!

Btw, jury deliberations are on its way to produce a result, thus the open votation will be open very soon!
