So I've activated one of your post and replied to you. Thanks for asking and we look forward to your submission!

Would it lose out on any points on originality or is it sufficient that I didn't stick to the main concept art but further enhanced it using AI? Of course I'll be crediting the artist, the AI prompt and the AI tool that I used. I'm not a concept artist and I fear I would do a subpar job if I tried to conceptualize a character from scratch. 2) Are we free to use any external renderer for the final submission? Like Vray/Maya or Unreal Engine? Or do we need to light and render it in Character Creator/iClone?

I think you asked a very good question, and here's our reply: 1) Can we use an existing hand-drawn artwork as the main idea and primary reference, but use AI generated artworks to drive the render style and other details? Would it lose out on any points on originality or is it sufficient that I didn't stick to the main concept art but further enhanced it using AI?

I'm not a concept artist and I fear I would do a subpar job if I tried to conceptualize a character from scratch. >> Yes, I think crediting the original artist is necessary and you can enhance it with AI, and please show it in your WIP post as a process. 2) Are we free to use any external renderer for the final submission? Like Vray/Maya or Unreal Engine? Or do we need to light and render it in Character Creator/iClone? >> You can use your best render, no need to limit it in iClone or Character Creator.

New Member Group: Forum Members Last Active: Last Month Posts: 3, Visits: 87	Hi, I have a question about the main rule of the contest. Do I have to work on the CC3+ Base from a start or can I start from zbrush using Dynamesh (where I feel more comfortable) and then use headshot2 to transfer my character to the required base? Thanks!
