Contest goal:

This contest is really different. Not much to do with realism, but a lot of creativity is required. All you have to do is to place 20 cubes in the scene in order to communicate something.

You can use less cubes, but no more than 20. No other format will be accepted, only square ( and rectangular ) cubes. You can color the cubes or even apply textures to them, but no word can be exposed at the scene to assist in communication, only the cubes must say something for themselves. Enjoy!
REMEMBER these contests require that you post at least 2 intermediate steps of your drawing in a step by step guide, so we can see the progress of your work.

tioilmo: As soon as you see some of the images in the cube's contest I gave you the link above, you will see how to exercise your creativity without using so many sophisticated resources of CG.

tioilmo: Thank you very much administrators to give the authors this unique opportunity!!! ( 5 years and 2904 days ago )
randy: CAN WE USE A GROUND PLANE ( 5 years and 2904 days ago )
tioilmo: Yes, a simple ground plane is allowed. A simple plane will help us to procude shadows. Anyway the focus will be the Cubes. ( 5 years and 2903 days ago )
mircea: can we squash or manipulate the cubes? ( 5 years and 2903 days ago )
tioilmo: Mircea,

Yes you can! But avoid intersect the cubes in order to be clear in the image you are only using cubes in your job.

I think the images will be very interesting in this contest. ( 5 years and 2903 days ago )
dante: good contest, can we use displacement maps, and beveled cubes rather than just sharp edged cubes? ( 5 years and 2903 days ago )
tioilmo: Dante

Avoid displacement maps but you can use beveled cubes. Sharp cubes are recomended.

Noun1. cube - a hexahedron with six equal squares as faces ( 5 years and 2899 days ago )
tioilmo: Cube is just a generic way of telling the name of the theme. Rectangles are accepted.

tioilmo: I'd like to say thank you to all participants in the first contest of creative cubs of our community. I'm sure by the incredible membership that we had in this contest, will have other issues in the future with the same tittle. The works went beyond the techniques of computer graphics and went deep into the creative universe. Congratulations to all! ( 5 years and 2889 days ago )
