I really like the way the light diffuses through the glass. And the lighting on the tubes is pretty sweet.



Began working on my upgrade manual based on my old Garand Manual. The illustrations are going to be the tricky bit. We'll see if I have enough time.

Edit Page one done as well.

I'm about to submit, I just have a question, Does the subject of the email need to be a specific thing? or can I just say "Weta, Dr. Gordbort custom ray gun contest submission"
and then should I put in the body:
-Name of gun
-rpf user name
?
thank you

Can I expand on this and ask for a good example of the 3/4 angle?
I understand the left and right but I'm over thinking the three- quarter shot. Just a level shot off the side?

Basic 3/4 shot - Essentially between the front and side, and usually from above the item looking slightly down -

so basically showcasing the front of the barrel with some of either side?
like this but better quality?:

The camera angle in your shot is a bit too far forward of the raygun.

I think this is a perfect example of a 3/4 shot: http://www.wetanz.com/assets/Uploads/drgsaboteurelrg.jpg

AHH, I'll have to take another photo then, I have finalized photos, but the 3/4 one is more focused on the front.
but also, should the submission email (not the photos) be like my example?

I love some of the entries so far
Especially Tack's take on the whole thing. That's like a Dr Grordbort's product modified for the American Frontier's man. Brutal in its simplicity.

Thanks! <3

Hey all. I wanted to share my back story for how my bison came to life so...


Here are some files from a recently declassified section of Dr. Grordbort's file cabinet that accounts for the disastrous assault on the Mercurian fortress and the birth of the Galumphing Gaur.


Edited as of 8/26
A friend of mine read it and said "It needs something else and take out all the contractions, they did not exist then you Mamoosk Lizard."

Sent mine in. I named it:
The Quantum Buffalo A.P.C (accelerated particle cannon).

Sent yours in? I didn't realize you had to send anything in, I thought we just had to post pictures. It's probably too late to send mine in now, but where do you send it anyway?

Hi guys. I know some of you have had questions on your entries. We will have info for you tonight!

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS

Can we do a left side 3/4 shot from the front, a right side 3/4 shot from the rear and a side view? A left and right side shot is not going to be much different for those of us who did both sides the same. I am just trying to get more detail into the 3 entry pics.

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS

Agreed, hopefully there is some flexibility in what photos are acceptable. Assuming I actually get mine finished (lots more late nights to come!), the exact angles specified aren't going to be enough to show what I want.

I did somewhat of a collage for my photo set. Even though there are 3 files, with left profile, right profile, and 3/4 primarily featured, there are a few inset detail shots sprinkled around.

Click the PDF link on the first page, it tells you all you need to know. Don't worry, you have until August 30th

See, I want this cleared up before I submit. I don't want to lose out because I followed the directions only to find that the above is acceptable. :unsure

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS

Well, it said photos should "include" right, left, and 3/4. So I think what I did follows the directions just fine.

Just to clarify, I didn't squeeze ten photos or something into one big gigantic file. My gun has an interchangeable part, so there is an inset picture of it with the part and without. Hopefully this is fine because I took an awful lot of time doing it.
