*pulls out hair*

Can't you make it midnight EST? :(

[lildragon]

true, done ;)

[eirenicon]

Thank you! :)

[SEL]

Lildragon,

your site is down or something cous your links dont work, and the thumbnail section doesnt work...... thought you should know

[YemYam]

How will this work for animations? This will have a huge impact on my piece. This question may be answered on the submit pages but they're down right now. I just need to know whether I need to focus on getting tight stills or finishing my animation.

Thanks!

[sigma]

I dont think the server can handle all the volume.
Im sure it will get fixed by tomorrow.

/sigma holds onto his tumbnail in anticipation :)

YemYam do some stills.

[lildragon]

keep in mind yem yam, these challenges are modeling challenges the focus was only on modeling, textures and animation are indeed eye candy, but won't have much impact on final voting (tho by doing them it gives yourself added popularity ;))

P.S. yeh the site is down, even the email server, don't worry this domain was built to withstand the traffic CGC gives :), this is temporary

[YemYam]

Silly me, trying to differentiate myself from the pack ... I'll pay more attention to the rules for the next challenge :D Car does screeching 180 and heads off the other direction ... ok then how many stills can we submit? Thanks for your help.

[lildragon]

doesn't really matter I don't think, since your thread will do the speaking :), take a look a jonas last render, it's huge it's loverly :D

[Bytehawk]

[lildragon]

Ok, only to be sure to understand this - I have a thumb in the WIP Challenge Overview - now, do I have to post my finished (no - it's rather unfinished) work into this new section (which I cannot enter - server down?) or am I automatically picked up?

[lildragon]

if you're already on the Complilation page, then all you have to do is update your thumbnail and when the site goes back online you'll be updated ;)

[lildragon]

Here's what I'm planning to do, I will need everyone to post their final images in their threads, and on the thumbnail page it will be as follows

- when you click on the username of a challenger it'll take you to their thread

- when you click their thumbnails it'll pop up the final rendered image

this way you can show of your final results flown blown without digging thru lots of threads

a su salud

[MichaelHebel]

So you want us to add to our thumbs and threads list a link to our "final" renderings - am I right, ok...
but how do you want us to do that - shall we edit our postings or shall we make new ones or... what do you want?

[lildragon]

ok back online :) http://lildragon.cgcommunity.com/cgc_feb_thumbs

cheers

[balistic]

Tito, just wanted to make sure that Joe and I only end up on the ballot once . . . we've got a link in the landscape section and the character one, but it should really only be judged as a single, collaborative piece when it comes time to vote.

[pabbloz]

I've already post the final pic of my contributition.
In the thumbnail preview page is the previous version.
What must I do to update it?

The new link would be now: http://www.formaantiqva.com/pabbloz/imagenes/totitch/pabbloz.jpg

Thanks a lot.
You're making a great job as moderator :p

[lildragon]

I hear that Brian, I'm sure it'll be counted as the same, and Pabbloz yours is updated ;)

Hey Lil Dragon,

I just posted my final images, but the voting page links to a previous post of mine. Don't know if you've just not updated it lately or not. I'm out of the office as of now, but I'll try to check my email in a bit. The very last image is the one that should come up when they click on the thumbnail.

Thanks to you and all the other mods for giving us this opportunity.

http:/www.pigmalion-haw.com/luigi/final.jpg

can I change the thumb too?

Thanks I will be able to see the answer on monday.

[Marc Andreoli]

so, are all entries going to be 'thrown into the same pot' or are there going to be 3 categories (character, vehicle, landscape) for the final rating ?

If it is 3 categories, then the collaborative pieces (not sure there is a lot in this challenge, just thinking ahead for the next challenges) should probably not add up their votes from the different categories, right ? Or is it going to be divided by the number of participants to get the median ? ;) I mean, I might want to rate the elements of the entry differently. What if somebody did a great vehicle with a lousy landscape and posted it in both categories ? Could he win the landscape category just because of the vehicle. Did I miss something ? I am confused !

If there is just one category for the ratings, I it is going to be pretty hard to vote (how do you compare a landscape to a vehicle or a character ?). And the situation with collaborative pieces pretty messy (how do you deal with the issue of single people projects vs. group projects).

[harmonic01]

Hey, lildragon. Could I, please, be removed from the voting page. I had no time to work on it, I didn't like how it came out anyways, and really don't want to know my markings.

Maybe I'll have more time for the next one. :-/

Thanx.

[eirenicon]

That's too bad man, yours was one of my favorites. But yeah, there's always next time :wip:
