I feel I am going to attempt to spark the interest in this up. Those interested in participating go ahead and post here, trying to flesh out the basic design of what to do in this forum (or if Renderosity is kind enough to give it its own forum if we can get enough people interested.)
The purpose of this post is to gather general interest and help put together what basic ground rules we should have.
POSTS:
All posts for now should be labeled “RENDERWARS:..” so we can start. we can just keep it going in one thread.
ARMY MAKE UP:
An Army consists of what ever you want. Robotic Alien Insect Invaders, Modern Military, Mutant Bunnies. what ever you want. It can be conceptual (modern military, anime) or specific (INSECTOIDS).
The army MUST be able to be represented by use of FREEBIES, or via Commonly used figures. Base Figures that are acceptable include : Aiko/Aiko4,Appolo Maximus (FREE), Michael/Michael 3, Miki/Miki 2, Stephanie/Stephanie 3, Terai Yuki, Victoria (any). As well as Any base figure that comes in Poser 5,6,7 (c’mon do we really want to use P4Dork??). The clincher is if any purchased base figure is used, the Identifying marks of the figure MUST be a freely available morph/ texture (if it something that identifies your figure, such as if you made an individual personae that had identifying tattoos and outfit. The outfit and skin texture should be a freebie). This prevents people from having to make a purchase to participate.
Basically anyone with Poser and some basic figures should be able to jump in with their army and attack your army without having to make a significant purchase (i.e creating a specific new Mutant Bunny character as your army of swarming mutant bunnies and making it ONLY available via purchase is not allowed). But we also understand some people will go to great lengths at developing new figures/ outfits/textures/morphs to participate and make their army unique. So it is applicable to create your own items, and offer them as sales items in the store, as long as it does not FORCE a participant to make a purchase in order to attack your army. An example would be making you mutant bunny army of minions freely available, but perhaps adding new textures for a small fee, or a Mutant Bunny Leader figure for sale. Since the additional textures or Mutant Bunny Leader are NOT required to attack your Army, those items as sale items are applicable.
Please feel free to add to this idea, as it is still being thought out, those interested in participating, chime in give your ideas, and remember the idea is to just have fun.
