Hello,
I am trying to enter the Dominance of War 4 contest, but I can’t seem to post my work. It’s limiting my file size (it’s not a big file eiither).
Can anyone tell me the exact proceedure on how to post the images?
I tried to look it up on the sight, but I didn’t get the answer.
Also do you need a website to post images. Currently I am in Kuwait.
Thank you everyone in advance.
Inkyspot - I also had this problem when I was trying to upload images onto the thread directly from my ‘computer’ (folder), you need to save your images as jpg files and use an image hosting website such as photobucket or imageshack to upload images. You don’t need your own website to post images.
Does anyone know how to report bugs in the DW upload page? Do I need to do it on the GA site?
I’m trying to upload my Concept Sheet which is 1018w x 843h and 270K
The instructions say it must be “Up to 1200w x 1000h pixels - 350k file size” which mine obviously is, yet it comes back with the error “Dimensions or file size exceeded. Please resubmit.”
you are not suppose to be uploading pics to the DW site yet. post all WIP pictures in your own personal thread. later on, the submission page will be posted for you to upload all your work, all at the same time.
When trying to enroll at the Dom War main page, I keep getting an error message saying that I need to be logged in with “remember me” checked. It keeps giving me this message and I can’t enroll for our team. I’m logged into the forums here while I’m doing it, and “remember me” is checked when I log in. So, if I’m understanding the error message correctly, it should be working. Anyone know what might be going on here?
I have a question pertaining to my entry specifically. It says in the rules:
Your Presentation Pedestal’s Budget:
ALL 3d entries must include a pedestal in their Presentation Image. You have unrestricted polygons and textures to create a pedestal with the following guidelines:
A pedestal is NOT a floor and/or it is NOT a room. It’s a block, pillar, coffin, box, crate, stone slab, etc. Pedestal Examples: Hela by Chang Gun Nam | The Mole by Rémi Monier
My intent is to do a pedastal which centers around a stone angel statue. Pretty sure it counts as a pillar, stone slab, etc, but I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn’t be considered a character, piece of character, dead character etc.
Any reason I should avoid the statue idea?
Okay, so I figured out what my problem was with enrolling for the DWIV enrollment. New problem now.
I forgot to put “2D” in the title to my thread. If this could be added in, it would be much appreciated.
The thread is here:

A question to the forum leader…
I changed my profil-name from "Mraaflau"b to “MR”. I forgot that in my DWIV-Thread “Mraaflaub” is saved as my name, does this matter?
I was just wondering if we’re limited to any number of pets? I was thinking of having 2… Since one of the top finalists last year --> http://www.gameartisans.org/contests/events/3/team12/preview_finals_2_6713.html have more than one
have the rules changed or can we still have more than one?
In the Dominance War entry page I am unable to make a title. Every time I hit the save button next to it, the page reloads with out the title being added. There is no error message to indicate what the problem is. Due to this I can’t fully register my entry. My link to my thread is saved, but I just need the Title to save. Anyone know why this is happening?
HairySnowman: if i’m not wrong, it said to pick the title carefully when you first add a title, because it won’t be editable later.
I understand that 3D entries aren’t allowed to incorporate photo elements, but what about 2D pieces using texture/photo overlays? Its pretty common in concept art nowadays, but I could understand if it wasn’t allowed in the contest. Anyone know the rules on this?
It seems like people have already been using textured backgrounds for their concept sheets, and I noticed last years winners had this going on as well.
Hello guys,
I’m sorry for the late reply, there has been a few changes around here. Due to personal reasons heavyness can no longer lead Dominance War for CG Society. So Glynn Smith and myself will take his place and do our best to make sure everything keeps rolling. I’m still trying to find out all the details myself, so please bear with me.
I will try to get an answer to your questions asap.
Thank you for understanding,
Jeroen
I am starting with this challenge tomorrow, what is date for final submission?
Thanks
M
The date for the final submission is May 11th by 11:59pm (Eastern Time I think). You have to submit it through your Game Artisans Dominance War profile page.
Anyone know if we are supposed to copy the dominance war logo on our own for our files? Do they have a download somewhere of the logo? Or are we supposed to make our own for things like the text image?
Also, will we be disqualified if the text image has more than just text in it with a plain background?
Alright, got a couple answers to your questions…
@Dargon: You should avoid to have a full character in your pedestal, or even a half one for that matter. Reason for is is that we don’t want people to use the unlimited resources of the pedestal to add extra characters to the scene.
@DefiledVisions: The number of pets is unlimited. Go crazy 
@xRaZx: you can find all the logo information in the first post in this thread :rolleyes:
Hi guys.
Ok so I have two questions about my entry. http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=282&t=752200
I’m making a demon princess and she will be carrying some kind of spear. On the spelr will be a flag with the CGSociety logo. I wonder if this is enough or do I have to put the logo on the character too? You can see the weapon in my thread.
Question number two. I’m planing on letting my princess be using a mount. which I understand is ok, but do I have to make a modeling sheet for the mount as well?
Thanks //Jim
@ jimsvanberg:
