What does “count as original” matter? For the Eye Candy prize?
When does it become “original”, though? If you use, say, a Fuse model as a base mesh, but take it into ZBrush and make a new character, is that “original”, or is that “that team used pre-made assets”? What about just a static ZBrush base mesh? Seems like there’s a large gray area in the concept of “original”?
Not that I care all that much, as I’m treating the game jam as a mini-vacation and could care less if I win anything, but I’m still curious.
That’s a pretty standard process for creating a character; since the character is original, the asset is also original. A generated character on the other hand wouldn’t be.
