Are you a 3D modeller and interested in testing your skills to the limit? Want to win yourself a top-of-the-range workstation whilst you are at it? Well, XSI are running a
character design competiton! Here's the details:<blockquote>
The SOFTIMAGE|XSI Mod Tool is setting a new standard in fun for gamers and modders alike. Offered free of charge to anyone who’d like to try it, the Mod Tool extends the life of your favorite games by giving you the power to produce new characters and props using the same tools as the professionals and to export that content to your favorite games, such as Half-LifeŽ 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source, or Epic’s UnrealŽ Tournament 2004.
We are looking for original, compelling characters produced with the XSI Mod Tool that are both visually stunning and believably animated. The characters will be judged in-game on specific visual and animation criteria.
In order to recognize and encourage the on-going creative abilities of gamers and modders worldwide we are offering fantastic prizes for the winners of the Contest. In addition, the winners will be announced at the prestigious Avid Computer Graphics User Group meeting at SIGGRAPH 2005.</blockquote>Better get a move on though... the deadline is the 1st July 2005!!!
