I have a question, just saw on 3DT-Board that they are doing a logo for their shadows, i would recommend that we do the same!? 
good point. Rally the troops, lets get this going
(altho it really would have to be an incarnation of the atomlogo of cgtalk)
Just thought I would mention, there has been a big rule update. Some people thought they could use old concepts because only the word model was used in the first sentence. here is the updated version:
- Feb 6th Update - No Old Models, textures, and Concepts! Everything must be created specifically for this contest!
FreD
some people … I would think people would know that is an unwritten rule at the very least (now a written one)
thanks for the update Fred

I got a question, to fight for cgsociety has to be a cgsociety member, or only been a cgtalk member is good?
thanx!
CgTalk member is good enough.
It’s just the The whole community of cgtalk goes by the name of CgSociety, thats where the reference comes from
Hi Dimitris, it has been awhile. I thought I should warn you, thumbnail positions on dominancewar.com never change on the view entry page, so it would be a shame if your art was not on page no.1 for the rest of the comp. You had best hurry and put one in to reserver your spot. I know you are a good artist, so I thought I should mention this:)
can we change the thumbnail image as we progress ?
mashru --> Like metalpiss said
LEEBLEEB --> No you can’t. If your character doesn’t have a weapon, you loose the bonus 1000 polygons. If your character is heading in this direction, I suggest you use the extra 1000 for gadgets or perhaps even ammo becuase it would be a shame to waste the extra polies.
ok about that logo thing, we could think about something very creative, them we´ll put it on the shadow, like a mark or something like it, what do u think?
hi Fred, i noticed that some of thumbs changed position in all four galleries. is that a technical problem?
“Feel free to break this 2048 sheet into smaller sheets that add up to 2048 total. (example: 4x1024 = 2048)”
Does this mean I cam make a sepparate Leg UV of 1024 and the rest of the body UV 1024 even though they are all the same object? I use Max8 btw.
since i had a bit a hard time to find out everything this time i thought some might find this useful as well.

- 1 x 2048 Color, Reflection Map, Specular, Specular Color Map, Normal Map, Bump Map, Opacity(transparency) Map, Glow map, and finally, Glossiness map.
Ok… so what does that mean actually? You got maximum one map of 2048 px and you can use it /or break it/ for some of these, or you got one 2048px map for any of these features which means 9 maps of 2048px ??
Sorry but my experience in game-ready models is quite… none
