New contest

[Geespot]

Looking forward to seeing some of the images for this. I always keep my eye on the challenges over at portal. I think this contest will show some talented people.

thanks to link the info !

[flingster]

like the theme...a lot involved in developing an entry.

whats the timescale?

do you have to post progress/wips in the forum or do you post completed entry with file etc?

[jddog]

Hey Mike,

did u know if modules are allowed and plug-ins are allowed too (well modules and plug for c4d only ...) and BodyPaint so is not allowed ???
I don't have an Idea in wich forum is possible to post this question in the portal site... thanks for eventually infos

[slouchcorp]

Mike.

[slouchcorp]

sure plugins are fine mate,

Also a note to beta testers, please use current relises nothing over 8.5

cheers mike.

[Terro]

Got about a month on this one. November 10 - December 8th.

[Janine]

here's a small suggestion:

at least allow the use of standard photoshop filters like auto levels and brightness/contrast.

I also don't see why hdri shouldn't be allowed.............

Anyway, interesting contest. :)

Good point :)

Auto levels and brightness + contrast is allowed now as well as HDRI.

the reason we didnt want to include HDRI was the advantage for r8.x gi renders over anyone using 7 or below

I've edited the rules.

Is this open to everybody or just to C4D users in Europe? Since the prizes are in Euros.

It's open for all c4d users.

Hey,

> 02: scene should contain: plant life, water, sculptures, crumbled wall

Does the scene have to have all 4? Are these all must have elements? Can someone have say plant life and crumbled wall or water and sculptures?

Thanks,

[JamesMK]

A great theme!

But I think the specifications are a bit over the top considering the timeframe here... Less than a month and all that stuff required. Anyone with a fulltime job or school is definitely out of the loop before it even starts. If one wants to model and texture all those elements well, that is.

If you are creating a desert scene it would be fairly difficult to add plant life compared to someone who's building an aztek temple for example. Less plant life/water in a desert scene is not an issue.


Take in regard the theme:
The theme/subject of this contest is Fantasy. Let your imagination run wild on the following topics: Buildings, dwellings, characters, water dynamics and erosion.

Erosion of buildings and ground plays (think of crumbled walls etc.) an important part in this contest. The scene should be ancient looking but not completely desolate. At least one character has to be included in the scene. The scene may be apocalyptic, or non-apocalyptic. It's up to you.

Try to create a render that is closely related to the theme of the contest. The judges will be looking for that as well.

I hope that answers your question.

[tjnyc]

Thanks,

Yes it does. I have been sketching this weekend on a fantasy environment piece that matches this theme, but there are little examples of water or sculptures, but plenty of plant life, crumbling walls and a lone character.

[c4dportal]

That will do just fine :beer:
Good luck with the contest.

Contest update:
we have decided to give the contenders extra time for the contest.

you have from 10 November till 22 December (instead of 8 December)..

[jddog]

Hey thanks a lot for giving us more time... !!!

Hmm, by specifying certain themes like crumbling walls etc it tends to make it more difficult- I mean a fantasy image with crumbling walls... Tends to narrow the field of what you can do.

It makes it easier for the judges to decide who actually uses more advanced/better texturing and modeling techniques etc. since most entries will contain the elements given in the theme.

The contest theme still allows for allot of creativity, but with a few boundaries.

Personally i've seen contest winners submit a render that doesn't fit the contest description at all. We want to avoid that.
