 STUMPS Get involved and have some fun
  Three people build one creature/character. 1 person does the head, 1 does from the neck down to the waist, and the other does from the waist down...
..but no-one knows what the other parts look like until they all get joined together.

Rules and instructions are in the zip folders, and also further down this page.
These are the 'Stump' zip files. Download now, why not. ;)

KyleSan:
Such an original idea! I would love to take part in something like this. Something out of the ordinary to test your limits and at the same time chances are you'll get a good laugh out of it too.

johnar:
Nice one KyleSan

 I'll get things together tonite and should be ready to go within 24 hours. (Please wait for stumps to be uploaded before beginning).
 But we can start the 'bagging' process now. (bagsing = choosing your part. Some may remember the word ie: I 'bags' the head. = I choose the head. Silly word, but used by kids a lot. (like me

KyleSan: you were first to reply so you get first choice of which part you would like to make. Do you 'bags' the 'Head', Torso (including arms), legs, or 'feet'. ?
 Any one else who wants to play can bags any other part they want, as long as its not the same as KyleSans choice.
 Will get back within 24 hours and we should be good to go.
 Cool. Hope we get some more players.

KyleSan:
Cheers johnar! I "bags" legs! Hope this topic picks up so that more people can become involved.. Looking forward to it!

johnar:
 Sorry took a bit longer than expected.
I've uploaded some 'stump' zip files. Attached to first post.




Theres only a couple of rules.
1) Leave the red bits alone, thats where your stump will be bridged to the next bit.

2) Don't resize the original stump.

 Apart from those two things, anything goes.



 The Head.

 Treat the stump as the neck, and model the head on top.

 The torso.


 The top stump should be treated as the bottom of the neck. Start from there. Arms are not compulsary, but
handy things to have. ;) The bottom stump is not necessary, its just a guide. You can join the bottom of
the torso to it, or you can delete it and just ensure that the bottom of your torso ends in a 12 sided face, so
its easily bridgable to the legs. (the legs actually bridge at the waist, so you only need to model to the
bottom of the waist, and end at a 12 sided face)

The Legs.

 The bottom of the stump should be treated as the bottom of the waist.  Finish off with legs and feet. (or wheels? or rockets? or a snakey thing or............?)

(the above directions are enclosed in the zip folders)

 Good luck with the legs KyleSan. Will give it a day or 2 to see if anybody else is in, i'll bags something then, if theres anything  left over.

 If you can see any improvements to how this works, please let me know. Its been a few years, and i'm not 100% sure that this is how we had it originally.
 The important thing is that 'ANYTHING GOES'. Just leave those red faces alone.
  Well, lets see what happens....
