May Contest of the Month Idea Poll

What's that you say, it's already may? Screw it, it's not too late! OTDE and I were brainstorming some ideas involving angle tracks using 3.4.x's angle indicator and 45 degree snap and came up with this. I'll be running this one. The deadline may drift into june but whatevs yo

Note: Pick the one(s) you would want to ENTER, not the one(s) you would want to SEE the entires for

1. Pick ONE xy angle, and ONE 45degree angle. you can only use those angles to make a 15 second track.

2. Pick ONE 45 degree angle and make a 15 second track with that angle

3. Make a 15 second track with 45 degree lines, but they must ALL face black-side up.

4. Pick an arbitrary angle that is either between 5 and 40, or 50 and 85. Make a 15 second track using only lines on that angle, or perpendicular to that angle.

5. The first line is an X line, aka 0 degrees. The next line is 1 degree. The next line is 2 degrees, and so forth, for 181 lines - the last line is X again. The lines only have to be in the order drawn, they do not have to affect Bosh. They can face either way.

6. Stall contest using only XYZ lines.

(btw, these will be submitted via .sol and released in a single video, but judged via a public poll)

Voted 2 and 6. ANGLEMAY IS UPON US

I know there is 45 degree snap, but how would the other angles work. Seems like it would be impossible to do just 25 degree lines for example.

Edit: ah there is angle indicator now. Sweet.

Some of this stuff sounds a bit hard to make a nice looking track with, then again, always fun to see what people can do with certain limitations..

1 & 6. This is a cotm i could get down on

If we don't do number 6, I will cry

Track using ONLY downward facing 45 lines. :rabid:

Lol I would love to see these but I think people would be afraid to enter

I think its impossible to make more that a few frames, certainly impossible to make a stall

who says you have to make a stall?

just for fun, a list of recent featured movies with no stall:
come to daddy (you could argue there is a stall here I suppose)
unusuals
intro
supersonic motion

It would unquestionably be downwards, though, and now that I think about it it might be real hard to keep anything affecting him before he starts to go downwards too fast. So yeah I think you're right.

But what if there was a challenge where lines can be any angle, but they all must either be Y lines, or black-side-down? That could be really cool.

was thinking for the stall what if we were given 5 boxes the center to make a mini track to direct bosh to one of the four small boxes in the corners to stall in? other wise i choose 1,2 and 6
