    How do I make the characters look 3D when creating an object show?
    Community Answer

    You can use shadows. Use BFDI for a good example, because the contestant "Blocky" is just a red cube.

    Easy. Do not count the votes past the deadline. It was their own fault they voted late, so you're under no obligation to count them.

    A camp is where people sign up and make projects and get rated, usually on Algodoo. A show is Where YOU decide what happens, and nobody signs up.
  • Question
    How do I pick a good object show name?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Pick a name that has the name of the show's prize in it (e.g. "BFDI" which is "Battle For Dream Island" since an island is the prize). or a name that describes the show (e.g. "Object Mayhem," which is as crazy as it sounds!).
  • Question
    Is it okay if I have an object show that's supposed to show characters from different object shows?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, but if you're going to use someone else's character, you have to give them credit.
  • Question
    What is the maximum number of contestants recommended?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It all depends on how long you want the show to be, as well as whether or not you'll do recommended characters and rejoins. If you want a shorter show, ten to fourteen objects is a good amount. If you want your show to be medium-length, then sixteen to twenty contestants is a good set. If you want a longer show, twenty-four to thirty contestants would be ideal. Try to avoid going over fifty contestants, as this could hinder character development and make the show a drag for viewers, especially if there are multiple rejoins and recommended characters.

    How do I make my object show 18+?

  • Question
    Why would I want to use different art styles when creating an object show?
    Community Answer

    It's usually when there are multiple animators working on the show. Different art styles can add some spice to your show, but they have to stay at least somewhat consistent.
  • Question
    What's the elimination process like in an object show?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Usually, the object show has 2 or more teams, and during the first episode there is no elimination, but a team has to lose a challenge in the 2nd part of the 1st episode or the 2nd episode, then you wait for the votes to come in. Then, in the next episode, the team up for elimination goes to an elimination area, and the host tells who is safe with the least amount of votes, then gradually works up to the person who has the most votes, and that contestant is eliminated.

  • Question
    Why do people use characters from other shows (for example, kite from OO)?
    Da_BFBMs
    Da_BFBMs
    Community Answer
    Some people like the characters in other shows, so they want to animate them or interact with them. Sometimes, it is just some item that happens to be on hand, like a pencil or a cup. You can make the same characters but as long as they have different personalities or design or names.

    Can animals fit in object shows?

    Community Answer
    It depends on the show you wanna make. There are a few non-objects in shows, such as David in BFDI, Big Orange Chicken from Brawl of the Objects, and even Exclamation Mark from Animatic Battle. So, if you ever want to include an animal in your object show cast, then do it!
  • Question
    What if no one votes? Do I do it myself or not?
    Me

    Community Answer
    Upon finding that nobody voted, the host could decide to host a tie-breaker. You could hand-pick someone to get out yourself, you could make the contestants decide who amongst themselves should be eliminated, or you could make a challenge that whoever performs the worst in is automatically eliminated in (whoever dies first is eliminated, last to finish the race is eliminated, etc.)
  • Question
