Once a week on every Thursday for this entire month, I plan to create a competition dealing with the Vizzed Minecraft server and in each of those competitions, money and Viz will be up for grabs. The last few competitions haven't had very much participation so if this one lacks participation as well, then it will be the last minecraft competition that I host.

Create 3D Sprite Art in the Open World (be sure to not place your art too close to other art). Once this competition ends, staff will vote on which structure they think is the best. Staff will vote based on accuracy, complexity, presentation of the video and/or screenshots, and the overall look.

What consists of 3D Sprite Art? The idea behind a 3D sprite art is that the 3D model should be based on all the sides of the character or object you base your art on. So the front of your 3D model should look like the front sprite, the side of your 3D model should look like the side sprite, the back of your 3D model should look like the back sprite, etc. Not all games show a sprite of all the sides of a character so that's where your creative freedom comes in. Look at my next post for my submission.

For information on the Vizzed Minecraft Server, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152



To enter, simply record a video or take a screenshot of your completed 3d sprite art and submit it to this thread. Be sure to give your submission a title, specify what character it's based on, what game it's for and what system it's on.



If you choose to do a screenshot than it should show at least 3 angles of the 3d sprite.
To take a screenshot in Minecraft, all you have to do is press F2. If you want to take the screenshot without the menus, press F1 to remove the menus. If you want to change your perspective, press F5. For more information on Minecraft screenshots and for where to find them, go here:
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Screenshots

You can either upload the screenshot to the Photo Album and than embed it to your post or you can upload the screenshot with your post, screenshots posted any other way don't count (they have to be hosted on vizzed). The Photo Album can be found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/smd/photoalbum.php


If you choose to do a video, you can use Camtasia (probably the best and has a free trial available), Camstudio (free), Xsplit or any other program to record with. You may also edit the video however you want, just make sure it is less than 5 minutes long.

Once you've recorded the video, you'll want to upload it to the Vizzed YouTube page and add it to the game's page in the Video Game Room. You can do this by going to the game's page (link found below) and then scroll half way down the page to the 'Minecraft User Submitted videos' section and click the 'Click to Upload your Video to Vizzed Youtube' link. Once the video has been uploaded, be sure to place a link to it to this thread, otherwise your submission will not count.



It's recommended that you place a claim around your 3d sprite art. If you don't make a claim around your art, you'll be unable to remove blocks if you make a mistake and other users will be able to make a claim on your sprite art and potentially destroy it. You should also place a sign in front of your sprite art so that we all know who made it and what it's of. For more information on land claiming, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=75152#Claims

If you already made some sprite art but not in the Open World, I can move it for you so that it qualifies. To get to the Open World, you can either take the subway station to it (which can be found underneath the Vizzed Ville Town Square) or you can walk there but heading to the really long island next to Vizzed Ville and taking the path that leads down into the water tunnel. There's a shop in the open world which has 16 colors of wool and clay which can be used to make the art.

You cannot do the same sprite graphic that someone else did. You may do the same character that someone else already did as long as it's not the same exact sprite. So for example, if someone did a Mario standing sprite from Super Mario Bros for the NES, you may do a Mario standing sprite from Super Mario Bros 3 for the NES. If someone did a Mario running sprite from Super Mario Bros for the NES, you may do a Mario running sprite from Super Mario Bros for the NES. Basically you just can't do the same pose of the same sprite of the same game.

For this competition, we'll give you the ability to fly for the claim you use to build your sprite. So if you create a claim in the open world that you plan to create your 3D sprite with, let us know where it is and we'll grant you the ability to fly on that claim. This will make the job easier and will hopefully encourage more users to participate.

Here are the prizes:
1st: US $25 or 37,500 Viz / MViz
2nd: 20,000 Viz / MViz
3rd: 10,000 Viz / MViz

I can pay you by either PayPal or by buying something online for you. If your structure was built by more than 1 user, than the earnings will be split.

Competition ends:
May 22nd

Here is my submission:


3D Link from The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo NES.

Image upload: 1920x523 totaling 192 KB's.




For those wondering how much time this competition requires, my 3D pixel art took about 90-120 minutes to create, it took me about 10 minutes to put together the screenshots and 20 minutes to put together the video. So I have no more than 2 1/2 hours into my submission.

Davideo7 :

That

is 

so 

awesome.

I am equally awed by that submission. Simply amazing work, David. I'm really looking forward to seeing the other entries now.

I have a 3d design under developement

I dunno I think this is ok. I had to improvise all of it unlike the charizard which I made a template for.

I know this won't count because I'm not on the server (currently only have the Minecraft demo) and I'm not uploading these to the site, but I had time to kill:





Pikachu from Pok?mon Gold version:

Alright, this is a over world sprite of Red from Pokemon. I did a video on what it looks like and included a picture below of the sprite itself. I hope i did good.
