Challenge #765 Voting CLOSED

[str11 (Christoph_Von_Dauer)]

In my opinion this will help to understand in which direction it is worth developing

@str11

I would propose an even more advanced voting system.Something like this:

So to clarify, are you suggesting users cast 4 votes? Best modeling, best shading, best lighting, best compositing? And then the winner is based on the aggregate of those, with those weighted totals?

Or are you saying you vote for your favorite, and then “grade” them on each of those 4 fields?

If it’s the second one, how is a winner determined? What would happen if eight people voted for the same person and graded them 10% on everything, and one person voted for someone else and graded 100%?

@Millani thanks again for the info on my artwork. Yeah Bob the dryer got a little sick, must have eaten too many socks and got a bellyache. And the link you posted is awesome too. I almost did a wall outlet but figured they very depending on the country you may be from so just went with the dryer bit. Was really tossed together in just 1 day, would have liked to have added in more to the scene like the wall hookups for the washer and dryer but didn’t have time cause laundry day was the day the idea hit me and it was running late already.

Not exactly. It’s just like a small addition, that is all as usual.

@Semicolonkid

Also, I love that you took the time to give everyone a detailed remark on their work. That’s really cool!

Glad to hear it. I suppose most are used to it by now

@str11: I’m curious how you would rate my entry for modelling, considering that I didn’t really model anything
Anyway, I think it would be technically complicated to improve the poll system. Maybe it would be possible to make a plugin for Discourse, not sure. But I think that a comment says a lot more than a couple of numbers.

Helge: This reminds me of this tip about near-tangents. By placing the tusks and ears very close to the borders, the elephant looks much bigger and menacing. I must confess, at first I didn’t realize that elephants don’t have noses like that I ended up associating the title with other expressions that end in job and start with some body part, and your entry suddenly felt really creepy. But now it is funny

Thanks Millani! You are right, that would have been a little creepy. It didn’t cross my mind, but now that you say it, it is actually making me laugh.

@Millani

Photox: Haha, subtle. You even put the telescope on the right angle Nice lightning, and cool mountains. That trick works very well.

Clouds, mountains, molybdomancy, … it is just great what brains can do with them.
E.g. the “sleeping witch”

@Shenfara

[…]Those were damn two busy weeks and I’m dead tired, but I think I’ll have time to get back to the challenges at last! I have been running around to get myself a new job and I might be getting it soon if things go as planned, pray for me

Good luck with that! And I’m really looking forward to whatever entries you come up with.

@str11 If I’ve understood it correctly you propose a system there we would rate an entry on separate qualities, which would then make a total rating. Sounds interesting (though slightly complicated).

But unless it would allow for voting on multiple entries I can’t see how it would make any difference in the scoring, so what would the benefit be over the current system? Feedback to the artists?

I’m sorry.
That’s my very subjective idea:), do not pay attention, you better tell me my entry can be considered pure or not?This is an image without post processing

, but this one with a some post processing in Photoshop

@Millani

Some comments:

bluberri: Nice play on words too. The moon looks pretty cool, is it a texture or a model?

Thank you! the moon is a sphere with a texture image applied

[purbosky]

@DanielJH: Congrats on winning the challenge!

@Millani: Thanks for the comments, and for moderating the rule update thread too! Leaf juice is one viable option, I guess, though I was thinking about star fruits back there (it’s somewhat too green though, lol!).

@str11: nice suggestion, I agree with grading all the entries, if only we can make it true, but for now let’s enjoy the current voting system. Regarding your two images, I’d say it’s still pure, since removing the effects does not alter the final result too much. It may become a different story if, for example, you paint over the face in PS.

[joshwinkler3d]

@DanielJH - Congratulations, nice simple entry but good expression and story.

@Millani - Thanks for the feedback, as always, don’t know where you get the time The feet were mainly cut out because there was too much empty space. I could have probably done something else but didn’t have time.

Thanks for the votes on my end too

[caz747]

Cheers, Millani, for the comments, they’re much appreciated. I was looking at some of the machine faces when I modelled the projector for my entry. It funny the things we humans can see that aren’t really there.

Congrats everyone, great entries as usual.

I forgot to thank Millani for the feedback! TY Millani! Those are indeed oddly positioned whiskers, i have to look better at references in the feature. Cheers!
