Details:


1. Duration:
The challenge will run for 2 months. It will end Friday, 10 April 2015 at 12 PM.

2. How to make an entry:
- Upload your objects on a file server e.g. Mega and make an entry post here.
- You can add as many textures, cloths objects, characters as you like.
- When you have added/changed objects for your entry, edit your existing entry post to reflect the changes. So you will have to make only 1 entry post.

3. Format:
- Textures should be added in the format that the object currently uses (.dds or .jpg). Please use the same names as the current ones.
- Cloth objects should be added in plugin format. Look in the ./plugin folder for examples on how to do this.
- Character objects should at least be able to run in test mode. However preferably also added to the dungeon pack so they can be selected as extra character.

4. Jury:
- The winner will be decided by both the users of the forum and by us.
- This will be done by a voting system where a forum user can cast a vote on the best entry for that category.
- Our vote will have a weight of 50%. So when e.g. there are 250 user votes (for a category) we can also add an extra 250 votes.

5. Sources:
- It is very much appreciated if the (high definition) source textures are added to the entry.
- The source formats (.ma) for the cloth entries have to be added to the entry, so they can be reused for new models.
- It is very much appreciated if the source (.ma) of the character is added to the entry. If you do not want to do this, we could propose buying the model if it is good.

6. Usage:
- By making an entry you allow the objects to be used in XSP.
- All entries will be credited if used in XSP.

7. Payout:
Prices will be payed out through Pay.pal.

8. Modding:
- All you need is Maya Autodesk 2015 (e.g. free 3 year student version) and XStoryPlayer, and you set set to go.
- A lot of examples and tutorials can be found on the Wiki.
- The 'Tutorial resource pack' contains the clothing and template models for the girls. Use your account-manager to download it.
- If you have any questions feel free to ask them in this thread or contact us by PM or email: admin(AT)xmoonproductions(DOT)org

Good luck!


Let everyone (especially modelers) know about this challenge, the more entries the better!!

Wow, nice

yes indeed. My questions are:
How soon can we submit our entries sir?
When does it end? and most importantly, how many entries may we submit?

etc. etc.

If it's up to me you can submit as many entries as you want, the more content for XStoryPlayer the better for all of us.

Forgote the text we can use all that you send in.

Ps do that meen that you X-moon are switching to Maya2015 now or for ver 4?

@skidrow

We probably continue to use file formats in lower version (< 2015) of Maya so they can be opened in previous versions of Maya.

Stroke of Genius!

thanks

wow amazing initiative.
I suppose that you're the first company to pay modders to add contents to their games.

Awesome prices ! I hope some people here will be challenged by this.

Thanks for the community.

well, atleast this way there will be some real sexy looking characters and hopefully a good looking penis, that does not behave like it is made out of gello.
