That’s ok, you don’t need to put up a sketch. It’s just handy.

Hello there
i’m very proud to participate to this challenge, we can see a lot of work from each level user and all are treated at the same way.
BUT … why we can see some works on the enter of the channel…when i go on www.cgtalk.com i can see to thumbnails of works participating to the challenge…
Is this challenge already finished ? the winner is already found…
Damn it’s not a very democratic way . :thumbsdow
(same opinion on the stars voting system, it’s not appropriated for a challenge)
:shame: :shame: :shame:

I must be extreemly stupid. Stop nodding!
I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find the answer - probably overlooked the obvious place where the answer lies.
How do we submit our final images? Just in our own threads or what? And what exactly has to be shown? ie wire frames, bump maps, different views.
Is there a limit to how many different ims we should upload? (by different i mean different angles of the same charcter.)
Sorry if this is answered some place else, this is my first challenge and I’m still finding my way around.
Thanks.

To Zeb and others, the challenges have life in cgtalk also, we used to constantly plug them on cgchannel it’s no difference here, we see something we like that has good flavor and we’ll plug it, I plugged those two pics solely to help new members understand there’s alot of depth to this site… albeit Gallery/Wip/Challenges
As for the star system this was agreed upon, they will be re-envoked the last few days b4 the end of the challenge, because this is when most works should be on the last lap of being finished… Of course is doesn’t make sense during that’s why they’re not enabled.
P.S. in the future if you’re new here please contact me directly on the forum going-ons if you’re unsure about something, as your concerns have been more than likely been resolved.
salud!

“we see something we like”
so don’t tell the challenge a challenge but a wip on same subject and don’t a classement… because look yesterday mandrake take 20 messages in 7 hours… His work is great but this number of reply is completly linked to the advertise on the homepage.
Not a lot of people see the depth of the challende but just this thread …
I think u don’t understand my opinion.
Anyway it’s not so important. I was just surprised.

well of course it’ll result in more views and possibly responses, that’s the point of a plug… and yes I understand your view totally, it’s just not really justified as we did this plenty times in the past… like I said if you’re unsure about anything regarding the forum or how things are run contact me directly…
You must remember this forum and 3Dfestival is all about promoting artists, why should the challengers be excluded?
salud!

Phil & tubby: you don’t have to send your images anywhere, just post your final composition in your thread and I’ll handle the rest, this system is definitely changing for future challenges, as everything will be automated, meaning you’ll be asked to submit your final comps to the “voting bin” 
As for sending me questions, just to clarify, I meant “specific” questions that I can answer, not general ones, that’s why the forums are here… anything you’re unsure of and wish to know the answer right away just send a pm my way…
salud!

Ok I have started on the model – more on that later I probably won’t get it finished in time… Mean while here is the concept art.

Ok, so we dont have to send our final picture anywhere.
What I am not sure about is how many pictures can we have as final composition, and what ressolution should it be. Could I have 3 pictures from diferent angles or should I have one with 3 sections?
Thanx

ooo… I just saw this…
Linking the thread on a front page is not a problem itself…
the problem is…
If I ( or anybody else for that matter ) got any vote purely for
that reason… well … that’s unfair… the challengers should be
equal… just hit my mind … Zeb is right… I almost feel sorry for
getting that link… :shrug:
…aaghh… no I dont … but Zeb is still right…

howdy folks !
just on the “unfair” thing…
well, i tend to disagree with Zeb, think of it, how many people that we’re not aware of just read thru a couple threads (because there’s so many on this challenge !) and make their vote on it, without giving a chance to anyone else ?
We’re 2 days before the end of the challenge, and some posts have been visited like a hundred times, some others like three thousand…
For many reason it is quite tricky because you first have people that are used to these forums, and they will drain many people (mind me i’m not talking/judging work at all) no matter what; then you have the fact that probably keeping your thread up on front page of the forum helps in draining people too…
Well, all in all, i might be wrong but what i mean is that, no, i don’t think it’s unfair, actually i really like the fact it emphasizes on the challenge (and other threads on other forum), maybe focusing on one single thread but really draining unware people to go and maybe pay visit to the other challenge pages and so on…
i don’t know if i make the point clearly, but i also think that anyone woud love to be spotted like Mandrake’s been, so i say we’d rather try and do our best if we want to be up there instead of whinning (no offense meant) … !!
my 2 cents…
moujot
ps: btw, even if i’ve had much less time than i thought, even if i can’t complete my challenge, i still think the challenge is an excellent thing, i, for one, have learnt many many things in so little time !!

I agree with moujot. He has the right idea.
Everyone has to remember that other than people seeing the models there’s no actual “reward” for entering the challenge. If we were giving away a new car, then sure it might be unfair to plug a certain artist.

I just don’t see what the prob is, if I were to have plugged yours Zeb, would this topic been started?
F.Y.I just to let you know I was thinking of plugging yours, but I couldn’t fit both characters nicely in the 150x150

Sorry for repeating this stupid question :), but I am still not sure
what is the highest ressolution I can submit, If I can submit more pictures from diferent angles or one with more cameras on it? Or only one with one angle?
Please somebody help me
