I have come up with some categories and rules for the contest. I have
come up with 8 categories. Here they are:
Best Mini-Fig Scale Model
Best Micro-Fig Scale Model
Best Alternate Model of Official SW Lego Set (any set)
Best Official SW Lego Model Modification
Best CAD Model
Best Built Model
Best Model under 100 pieces
-A single entry can win as many catagories that it qualifies for.
-I've decided not to enter the contest myself so I'll be the judge for
the catagories :)
-An overall contest winner will be decided by popular vote.
-Only winners from the 8 catagories will be eligible for the overall
prize
-I'm thinking of only accepting votes from frequenters of this or other
lego related newsgroups to avoid someone getting everyone he/she knows
to vote for his/her model.
-Small prizes will be given out for catagory winners, and a large prize
will be given to the overall winner (maybe my Slave1 when it is
finished, whatever it is it will be something large and cool!).
Tell me what you guys think. I'm open to modifications of these rules
if it seems like a good thing to do.
I'll have a page up within the next week (or two) that will have all of
the details.

what are the rules with cad models? can you use any unofficial parts you like?
|
|

I think all points should be discussed in a committee. No pun intended.
I think any piece could be used as long as it was produced in at least
some color. In terms of printed pieces, the same thing goes, any color
is fine as long as the design was made in some color. That way CAD
models have an extra degree of freedom. What does everyone else think?

good idea. but any cad model that uses a piece in a color it does not come in
should be excluded from other catogries.
anyway what i really ment is can people use ldraw parts that have not been
released in an update yet?

I dunno, it sounds good though. Maybe excluded from other catagories
but still up for best overall?

No. That wouldn't be very fair.

Can you enter more than one model. I have an altenate I'd like
to submit, but I also have a MOC that I really want to submit.
Are you nuts?!?! You really wouldn't give away that Slave 1 you
were working on would you?!?!

Submit as many models as you can!

It would not be giving it away. I want to see everyone put in a good
effort in designing and building their SW models. I think everyone here
can do some spectacular work. To give that extra incentive I'll give
away lots of prizes, including something really big as a grand prize.
It may not be the Slave1, (it may be dismantled by then, but whatever it
is it will be sometrhing that I put alot of effort into)

Sounds great! By "any set" do you mean that the alternate model need not
be SW related, just built with parts from an SW set? Will the CAD model
be based on a DAT file or on a POV rendering? If on a POV rendering,
will the quality of the rendering be taken into consideration?

I was thinking just SW sets, probably the larger ones.

I wasn't thinking so, what do you guys think?

i think that we should limit it to: up to update 99-03 (the one with the
backpack) + contest parts made avaliable on the contest web page (such as the
wing pieces and the engine piece and others).
that way cad models would not be at any great disadvantage compared to real
models because a good 90% of the important starwars parts would be available to
use in the contest. we could then allow cad models in with real models because
there would no longer be any unfairness.
there is little point in having cad models if you can't use the cool new
starwars parts.
if we make a zip file of the parts available from the entry page and let
everyone know about it then everyone is on an even footing so it would not be
unfair.
the zip file of the parts should include the parts from the sw mini vote about
to be released and a few others like the lightsaber and my mock-up of the
"at-at foot" piece fronm the sith infiltrator.

If you submit a low-quality rendering, how could that not affect the judges
opinion? If the image appears blocky or pixelated, it would be human nature to
not appreciate the underlying quality of the model as much. IMO.

I'm fine with this as long as a POV-rendered model isn't chosen over an LDraw
model *because* it is POV-rendered.

I think that if you POV Ray it then it should be decent quality(AA on).
But say I do one of just the model and then one of the model with a
background then they really should be the same when being judged.
This only seems fair because some people(including myself) don't
know how to make good looking backgrounds. I think the quality(clearness,
etc.) should be the only factor not content(backgrounds, etc.).

I will not judge based on the quality of the rendering. That is the
only way to do it.
