Brief

Create one or more custom prop models for use in a level. The contest discussion thread can be found here (REPLACE WITH THREAD ONCE STARTED).

DEADLINE: Monday 27 September - your entry must be ready for judging before midday GMT+0. It is strongly recommended you submit well before this time in case you run into troubles. Modifications to your submission are welcomed - the newest version of your entry will be judged, although modifications made after the submission date will not be judged.

Requirements

All entries must:

• have been tested by the user in a level
• be to a suitable scale
• be textured
• where appropriate, have collision
• be submitted before monday 27 september midday (GMT+0)

Guidelines

Strong entries will:

• fit the art style and canon of Dragon Age Origins.
• make good use of the Dragon Age material system, including textures for diffuse, normal, specular, emissive and heightmap where appropriate.
• contain a placeable and static prop version (affects collision and material only).
• where appropriate, have multiple levels of detail for the model and texture. These are particularly valuable for high-poly outdoor models and high-res textures.
• support lightmapping correctly.
• have a suitable poly count - around 250-500 for small props, up to 2000 for large props
• make good use of texture space to maximise pixel density
