This is just a poll to gauge how the membership feel, I will not guarantee that I will run this competition.

If a model has animations required (such as setting up a Nuke cannon) they are the responsibility of the modeller.

Yes to all, the uv-unwrapper should be the skinner as a good unwrap well contribute to a better skin and vica verser, although that puts me at a disadvantage as I have trouble skinning, and in reality I would prefer the modeler or someone else did it.

I see you took some of my suggestions :P Anyway, I would love to see this happen at Fallout. Evert two weeks there will be a model competition and the weeks in between there will be a skinning competition. Sounds good to me. Not sure about the U-V unwrapping but I guess the modeler and skinner should work together.

The skinner. Making the texture is only half of skinning, UV unwrapping makes up the other half.

I agree with the above post alto I would say that the UV mapping is only about 10% of making the texture.

Yes

Who should uv-wrap the model
While I agree that it takes more than just making the skin to properly skin a model, we have several skinners who are very good, yet cannot unwrap, and hence it would disadvantage many good skinnner immediately.

I do agree with the contest, but I (no surprise here) have to say that I don't think the skinner should have to unwrap. Not all of us are willing to pirate 3ds to model, and unwrapping becomes significantly harder if your not willing to do that- putting those of us who haven't at an unfair disadvantage.

You ought to make it the skinner's choice, on second thought. That'd avoid issues with the people not having 3ds. Since G-Max is OMG HORRIBLE.

My main concern about this would be a lack of interest. What's to stop it from going strong for the first two weeks and then suddenly dieing off because they're all the sudden busy or lost interest/not enough interest to continue?

yeah but if you can only model you can't participate either... so that will just as much make it die following your logic.

OK, from the poll people want a model competition that lasts 2 weeks, and a skinning competition that uses the winning model and lasts 2 weeks.

The UV-wrapping is more contentious, if a volunteer UV-wrapper can be found then I suggest they provide a unwrapped version for those who cannot unwrap and if a member who can unwrap wants to do it themselves (so they can do the skin their way). For any more progress in this manner you need 2 things.

Someone willing to run the competitions (I will not be running them) and a volunteer uv wrapper.

Oh and thanks to the two pillocks who voted no to having a skinning competition and then proceeded to have an opinion, you really are worthwhile members and valued by the community.

^ incorrect 4 members actually.
Could you please just STFU about skins.
If this is a public model bank then people might not want to use the skins provided so they would use a different scheme which fits their mod.
I voted yes to the skinning competition but i don't see why they are so utterly important.
I'm getting a little tired of your "skins are all important attitude". I know that if i took models from this bank i would probably not use the skins as they wouldnt fit.
Everyone's opinion is valued, not just yours. You are not god, just try to remember that occasionally.

I can't imagine someone who is that bored that he uv maps voluntary... that's in my eyes just impossible...
I can Uv-map myself... and it's really the worst and most boring job in the process of object creation...
