doesit matter that i'm on a mac and don't have windows.
No it does not matter if you use a Mac. I use a Mac (using Fetch as my FTP software) and it worked fine.
The way I see it, it is important to name your file correctly so your filename is exactly like how they tell you to name it. And after it is uploaded, wait a while before clicking on the button so the server has time to decompress and process it. In my case, I waited about a minute

Hey there :\
Wanted to ask about the non-commercial versions of XSI that were mentioned.
From the SoftImage page at http://www.softimage.com/products/xsi/promo/challenge22/
it's mentioned thatIf you finish the Challenge (i.e. you submit an final entry and qualify for judging), your license will be converted to a permanent non-commercial version. You can keep using XSI for as long as you like.
Just wanted to ask if there's different criteria on whether an image qualifies for judging or if all you had to do is complete the challenge. Also how do you find out if you're elligible for the non-commercial license and is there going to be any announcements or news on this?
Cheers.

hi, i had alot of problems while rendering my main scene at the resolution that was requested and ran out of time, i had to lower my samples to at least get something out to photoshop to start my final composition, i knew it was going to be a little blocky but its sadly all that my computer could handle as it chashed when saving the file after 27 hours of rendering on production quality (i know i need to upgrade..) a batch render would have been the safest bet but is i said theres no time left :( .
i didn't know i wasnt supposed to lower my samples untill i went to submit my final image DO NOT upsample your images to achieve higher resolution. If you cannot reach the desired full-page resolution, just send in what you have. i submited what i could :( not that my image is print worthy or anything but i hope i dont get disqualified, i did what i could with what was available to me.
i wil try to render out a better image in the time thats left but i dont think ill make it.

Unfortunately can’t upload final image with FTP
Program can’t access web site. Explanation:
Unable to resolve host name
This error means that the hostname you are trying to connect to cannot be resolved to an IP address. (Hostnames are resolved to IP addresses by a DNS (Domain Name Server).If you have verified that the hostname is correct, there may be a problem with your DNS server (or with your ISP's DNS server if you are a standalone user). It may be unable to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
I already contact my internet service provider and they admit conflict between IP addresses. They promise resolve the issue, but I don’t know how long it take. Would it be possible submit final TIF later, if they don’t resolve all internet issues on time? I already uploaded final image in gallery.
Please tell what rules say about that?
Thanks. Natalia Agalakov

It says on the rules in the challenge, if you don't know what FTP is, get help with this before the challenge. And so that's what I'm trying to do.. so can someone please tell me what FTP is and how it works? It seems like i'm the only one that doesn't know, but i'll never find out otherwise.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.
Basically its a robust method for transferring large files. In order to be able to upload an image via FTP its recommended that you download a FTP client. A decent one to use would be Filezilla.
Most FTP Clients are sort of like the Windows Explorer when you browse the files on your harddrive. Its really simple. You usually have your local system displayed on the left and the remote system displayed on the right. You just enter the correct hostname, username and password and connect. After that you can just transfer files via drag & drop.

Hey guys, i got a big problem . The ftp-upload seems to be broken or something.
I tried it several times and i always get this:
(edit: *image deleted*
I made a new tif in photoshop and everythings fine now. The old tif was broken i think.)
I tried it in different sizes . All upload-informations are correct... only the result is this mess.. damn!

Sounds like you remembered to upload your final TIF file but not the final JPG with the story description. When you do that, if it's not too late, make sure to select "Final Image" as your milestone. Without that, well, it'll give you the error you're getting.

Will the judges let the participants know which rank they have even if they don't win in any of the categories?
e.g. 12th place, 15th place, etc.
Or will the only ranking be "Master" and "Excellence" Award.

Master, excellence, and couple of honorable mentions (I've been told). rather than that there will not be any actual place anouncing. like 53th, etc.

Please clarify the directions for final tif... it says also 3 samples/pixel - do the images in my WIP count, or do i also send 3 WHAT... with, final image?
3 samples = R, G, B.
i can't seem to get the image to upload. i tried using fetch for the ftp thing but when i do it itsays that its uploaded but it doesn't say anything different when i log in on here to check. any suggestions for another ftp to use and if it got uploaded correctly will it say so when i log in on here.
Did you use the filename you were given? If not, you need to let me know what name so I can find it.
And after it is uploaded, wait a while before clicking on the button so the server has time to decompress and process it. In my case, I waited about a minute
It's done on-demand, unless you wait a lot longer (15-20+ minutes).
Just wanted to ask if there's different criteria on whether an image qualifies for judging or if all you had to do is complete the challenge. Also how do you find out if you're elligible for the non-commercial license and is there going to be any announcements or news on this?
We'll talk about this a bit longer after the challenge is finished. (Possibly after the video category has closed too, we haven't got a fixed date).
i didn't know i wasnt supposed to lower my samples untill i went to submit my final image
It doesn't say not to down-sample, it says not to up-sample :)
I already contact my internet service provider and they admit conflict between IP addresses. They promise resolve the issue, but I don’t know how long it take. Would it be possible submit final TIF later, if they don’t resolve all internet issues on time? I already uploaded final image in gallery.
The TIFF submission area is still unofficially open while I finish cleaning up some behind-the-scenes stuff. You'll know it's too late when the FTP becomes unable to be logged in to.
where it says ' username .....' is it giving you an example or do i copy that in ? can't remember from last time.
Use that one.
I made a new tif in photoshop and everythings fine now. The old tif was broken i think.
The image system can't process multi-layer TIFFs or anything else special like that. Straight flattened RGB, and nothing else folks!

Did you submit the final JPEG? Did you use the correct name for your final TIFF?

Jumblez - Did you click on Submit Entry and then on the links to "Submit Tif file?" If you do that, you will go through a few menus to confirm your address and name and then you will be given a username and password to use for your FTP upload. It will say this:
FTP Information
Hostname: challenge.cgnetworks.com
Username: challenge20
Password: uplifted
It will also give you a filename that you have to name your Zip file before you upload it. Of course it will also tell you that image uploads are closed because the deadline for images was 2 days ago. But that's why the rules also stated, as you noted in an earlier post, "It says on the rules in the challenge, if you don't know what FTP is, get help with this before the challenge." Still, there are exceptions, so good luck getting your image submitted! (but next time, you might want to take your own advice and figure this stuff out before it's too late! ;) ) Good luck!

HI there!
My question is regarding those who could not finish their image on time!
I was wondering if it's possible to continue my thread, using private hosting
for uploading Wip images, until I finish the work, or should I just move it all
to Wip_3d section and continue there?
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to the next challenge!

Go back to the Submit Final Image page, it should show you a thumbnail of your image. (If it shows nothing, you probably used the wrong filename, or uploaded a RAR not a ZIP).

1st submission 1 video including 30 second short trailer+max 90 second making of
2nd submission 1 video including 90 second full trailer
I's that correct?
Should we put whole making of including scenes and eg models from full trailer inside 1st movie?
Thanks in advance!

No, just string it all together.

As it happens, I'm in the middle of writing an email alerting everyone entered to a one-week deadline that we decided on (what with all the server issues last weekend). Otherwise it's a bit unfair, especially to those who don't have a lot of time during the week.

hey Mibus,
Even that I planned to have all the work done on time I can understand the "server crash issue" to add extra time for video challengers. Especially to those who are awaiting wip feedback to improve their skills. Now the question is:
I am using XSI ESS provided for this challenge and there is "only 10 days left to end of this special license" so I guess that is all I can get from extended deadline ( speaking about 3D job that wants to be polished)
and
Since we extended deadline, will there be any changes in order to get XSI Ess Permanent EDU license? This is very important to me since I am mostly doing this challenge to get it ( I cant really see myself along winners so its my main motivation for this contest LOL )
Thanx for reply

wo? hm, there is a License Manager in Softimage Folder. Now when you go: License Manager > Stop Server > Manage Key Database > List Keys - there should be a list of all licenses you have. My status says > 03/20/08 - 06/16/08 < what is looking like ending date of this challenge but more likely it is first second of deadline day. Now I am a bit confused
but more curious I am about that permanent license classification.

Robert - About 12 days ago you said image entry winners would be "likely to be announced in the next 2-3 weeks." Will the Video extension affect that? Does that still look like it's on target? And are you really going to announce Image winners separately from Video? What about the categories that apply to both, like "Best modeling" or whatever? Very curious... Cheers! :)

JurajMolcak etc: There should be enough time to take you up to the end, or very very close. EDU licenses should be handed out shortly after the close of the video category (I imagine the following week).

I'm curious - should the honorary mentioned artists keep their hopes up for the awards in the open categories? *excitement*
I'm asking because I guess that the winners of the image category won't be considered for an additional award in the open categories (that as well may be a wrong guess) and I wondered what's the policy concerning the honorary mentions in this respect.

adib: Yes; but the more you do the more the judges can look at! :)
Those with FLV problems: The 'Only the "Image" category...' message is because you're going to the page for TIFF uploads. You need to use the Challenge Uploader to upload your FLVs. If you're still having problems, do the following:
Re-download the Challenge Uploader from the Submit Entries page to make sure you have the latest version
Make sure you fill in all fields (esp. the "Category" dropdown)
Make sure you choose an image to upload with the video (first file selector)
Thumbnail is optional (second selector)
Video is of course mandatory (third selector)
Make sure you've submitted your finished FLV for the "Final" category in the Uploader, not the Concept or WIP ones.
If you still have trouble, shoot me an email with all of your details, and a link to your FLV.
turbinea: If your work is based on Uplift, then you should put that in your credits. You can certainly work on your film after the challenge closes.
digitaldecoy: Nothing is certain! HMs aren't specifically qualified or disqualified from the Open Category prizes in any way.

Also wondering when we will see the license, I want to keep working with XSI and at the moment, I kind of have to be idle.
But I am guessing, since I haven't seen anyone post that they have it yet and softimage just had us do questionnaires about the challenge and XSI that it shouldn't be to long before we see it. Fingers crossed.

Yes, it wasn't really being alarmed (or impatient for that matter, it takes as long as it takes), but my concerns were along the same as yours. No one else had been posting after the subject, so I thought everyone else might be happily using their license, and I had managed to disqualify myself somehow ;) The fact that other people are curious as well now, makes me feel better.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I can see my still image in the "image only" section. I also did the video challenge, spent a lot of time on it, and thought I satisfied all the requirements in the milestones (i.e. work in progress, 30 second trailer, and final video in FLV format uploaded successfully to your site). Actually, my video landed in my portfolio. My understanding is that this is all that was required to get me to the judging stage.
My question is: was there another criterion that kept me out of the finished "video only" section posted for judging? And can my video be added to this section ?

Looks like something went wrong mate...I think that might disqualify you as well :eek:...maybe the judges will be understanding and consider your final entry....but I can only assume judging is almost finished (it's been a week)....

Hi Tyson,
Thank you for your reply. I posted a finished version using the FLV challenge uploader and the date was : 05-11-2008 at 04:49 AM
I uploaded it in the "submit entry" area and specified that it was the final finished video (the last milestone) but perhaps because I sent it quite early, it got missed. I then posted afterwards the trailer in my thread. The link to this final video is quite a bit down in my thread and it just precedes the Trailer link.
Furthermore, when the server was down, I saw some of the threads coming back with less content than they originally had and thought that this will get corrected in time.
When the first part of the image challege came out, we got an email from Robert asking us to contact him if our image is not found under "image only" area. I never received a similar message concerning the video.

Barshow: Can you please email me <robert@ballisticmedia.net> a copy of the CGUploader you used, and (if you can recall) the URL and date when you downloaded it? Even just a rough guess of either is enough (eg, CGS Wiki, late May). Your upload went (as you noted) to the CGPortfolio system rather than the CGChallenge system.
I'll do some checks to make sure the video is OK and move it over to your thread, and move your entry to be considered "finished", and try to get it in the judging pool (if possible - judging has already commenced).

No, I'm afraid there isn't. We try to make the milestone requirements as clear as possible, so if you can help us to better display or explain them so that other clips don't have the same fate as yours, I'd very much appreciate it.

Hi Mibus
No, the milestones are a perfect way. You have a work in progress status.
In my case I forget to upload an image ( the wip image ) bevore i upload the final video.
Let`s say, if this would be impossible cause you didn`t upload a wip image bevore you upload the final video by the system, so I had done this for sure.- Maybe I was to happy about encoding and uploading the final work just in time...
Anyway, thanks for your help Robert.

Hello I was wondering about the status of licences and such.
A friend of mine was also in the competition and completed all the milestones as did I but he has been receiving emails updates as to the status of his license and I no longer am. Not for at least 2 emails ago that he got and I didn't. So I was wondering how to check to make sure they know I completed all the milestones?
Thanks

What a great competition this was, and I feel priveleged to even have entered. I downloaded the free XSI temporary license for the competition on my laptop that has XP on it. Now for the permanent license, I would like it to be on my desktop which has Vista. Is that going to be a problem? Or can I download the Vista 32-bit XSI software again, and then apply the permanent license when it comes to my desktop? Can anyone help?

Yes it's a whole new license so you'll be able to run it on a new computer.
I wouldn't recommend running XSI on Vista. It'll work - but it wasn't really "made" for Vista. You'll get better performance running it on XP.

That's why I've been trying to figure how to activate the new non-commercial license on it.
I'm not going to think it's not possible, so I'll just wait around longer..
Unless you download Academic version and install on top of the trial version?
I wonder if that would keep all your settings?

Unfortunately no. The contest was for XSI 6.5 -- note that we only "announced" XSI 7 today and it is not actually ready to ship until later this quarter. We are, however, eager to sponsor another Challenge with CGSociety and will provide XSI 7 in the next Challenge. So as long as CGSociety is willing and you're set to participate, you're good with XSI 7.
In the meantime, I trust you'll enjoy XSI 6.5. We're working hard to get XSI 7 shipped and a downloadable trial version out.

I was also the fellow that emailed you earlier to let you know that for some reason I was no longer receiving any emails from Softimage as to the status of licenses or anything else as I was worried that there was an unknown (to me) problem with my account. I was wondering if all the licenses to be distributed have been? Can you verify for me that you have recieved my name on the list from CG Society that I qualify for a license and if not who do I have to contact to solve this matter.

Brian and Barry -- I received your emails on Friday morning and forward it on to have licenses sent to you. Unfortunately, that was the worst possible day as it was the last working day before XSI 7 was announced as we were all frantic that day. Although Christine is extremely efficient in these matters, I can totally understand and empathize if these two licenses fell off her To Do list that day.
Please give Christine a day to catch up. Things are really insane at the moment due to the XSI 7 announce and upcoming events. Christine was here up till past 1am last night helping to get ready for the launch and she worked practically all weekend.
As soon as you receive the license and are up and running, we'd appreciatei if you could post here.
Thanks!!

I check my spam folder regularly and didn't spot it there. The resend just showed up though. Thanks for all your patience and getting on to this for me.
BTW. I had a look at some of the XSI 7 movies and info. Absolutely awesome stuff!!!

Winners should be contacted within the next week, I'd imagine (if they haven't been already).
The person heading up the Prize contacts is our wonderful Advertising Manager, Scott Stahley. (He's also the guy who has the job of convincing sponsors that the CGChallenge winners deserve such awesome prizes in the first place :)). If any winners have any doubts or concerns, drop him a line at scott@ballisticmedia.net. (Make sure to include all of your details).

Where can we now download XSI. The download page has gone now that 7 is released, and it is not listed in the Older Versions section.
Also, being the student/teacher version, is it possible to purchase maintenance? I've E-mailed sails at Softimage, but not had any reply.
Thanks for any help.

Yeah, a new one would be nice, but I can't even begin to imagine the work load that lies behind these challenges.
I havn't been participating in the latest, but they are so inspirational to follow. I love how open they are. They really gives a unique view behind the scenes of some great pieces.
Traditionally it seems like there are 4-5 month between the challenges, and it's been something like 3 month since Uplift :) - so maybe :P

I'm very anxious to join the next challenge.
I've entered in "Eon", "The Journey Begins", and "Uplift Universe" and haven,t been able to finish a single one due to work deadlines and opening a new studio.
Now i'm all set and have the time to enter and complete the challenge finally.
I really wanted to finish the Uplift Univ erse one, i would have been great at that one with the idea i had for it.
I hope the next one is just as cool.
I know it will be, they all are.

Hi there...
I must renew my cgportfolio account until 2008\10\22.
I won one free cg portfolio account in the last Cg challenge (Uplift Universe) here on cgtalk. What can I do to use the prize to renew the cg portfolio account?
thanks in advance,
-malanjo
PS: And what about the other prizes? I just received the prizes from Ballistic at the moment... :hmm:
