(I am not sure if this is the right section of the forum for this, mods will hopefully guide)
To commemorate the upcoming 25 000 th viewing of our Youtube channel we have decided to giveaway some copies of the assets we have deveopled so far. We are thinking of giving 3-4 copies, and we are asking for you to decide which assets to giveaway, and how to choose who to give.
Please take a look at the channel to see which assets you would prefer and let us know below. Note that we may not be able to give away some assets due the the agreements with respective customers, but most assets are not constrained. You can also check our brief compilation here http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/143401-Ti-World-of-Physics
Most of our assets are physics related, and you may remember that we are the publishers of the first Race AI and liquid simulation for Unity 3D.
Perhaps ask people to give a detailed explanation of a current or planned project and how your asset would be invaluable in helping them realise that goal. Your assets are not cheap, and hence worth some genuine effort towards,so asking people to provide a detailed and explicable rationale towards their ends is reasonable. I think giving your assets to those who can genuinely prove they will benefit from them would be a great idea, and it would be great to see the kind of ideas that come out from such an endeavour. Good luck to the recipients of the software, ive looked at some of the features in the asset store with green eyes
I agree with others, your mesh deformation plugin seems very nice. The liquid simulation could be really great as well.
Concerning the way to determine the winners, if you have some free assets, you could ask people to make a small project using those existing assets and putting them to good use ^^
Interestingly in the mean time we got some 5000 more video views but just 7 participants. Even people that contact us for actual business is much more :). Its interesting how giving something away for free gets less attention that selling things for money. We were targeting 100 participants but now it seems it would be impractical to wait for it to reach 100. So if particiapnts don’t have any objections we will halt this, and giveaway an asset to one of the lucky 7. So instead of 4/100 =0.04, you have 1/7=0.14 chance of winning :). So this will end by 25.02.2013
Didn’t have time to announce this, sorry for the delay :).
So we decided to giveaway 3 assets anyway so participants had 0.375 chance of winning in the end. Thats possibly one of the highest winning rates ever! The winners are (by their names on the comments of our web page):
Chris Atkin (which I guess is lazygunn) - Ti Racing AI
Kei - Ti RopeMaster
Dane - Foliage generator
We will dispatch e-mails to all winners. Thanks to all participants for sparing their time.
