Extending the Challenge

#68

Did you guys upload to your portfolio already? There’s the Thrust Challenge button there. Mine appeared hours later in the thread, so that might happen to you as well. You may want to message Travis though.

#69

well folks, your competitions suck. never ever there is all clear and now again… is that application a joke ? you can’t even upload some pictures. what’s the point ?

#70

I appreciate the opportunity to enter and I also appreciated the exta time but the forum and the lack of updated info was a little frustrating.

#71

From what I gather reading other posts about previous challenges, these things require tons of time and lots of work to pull off on the parts of the organizers. I think that is largely why we have not a a cg challenge for a while. Even though there were a few hiccups it was still a very fun challenge and I really appreciate the efforts of the staff of cgtalk.

I imagine its hard getting the time needed to judge from all the judges that were mentioned, specifically after the original deadline was changed. Oh well it was fun for me regardless. I notice many people still posting work even though its the 5th now. I spent a lot of time trying to finish by the 19th of July. I hope its taken into consideration.

#73

This is my first challenge and I appreciate the opportunity to compete and show my art amongst such talented peers.

Aside the personal challenge with learning the software and techniques, my only disappointment is that
I thought we were allowed to interact more with the judges so to get feedback on the concept build (I might be wrong).

I don’t work on this industry but I imagine that a concept build requires a lot of feedback from art/concept directors.

In regards to clear information and timelines, yes, I think it is necessary when you have so many people working towards the same goal and making a compromise with their professional and personal life to complete it.

Congratulations to all for reaching it!! :slight_smile:

Does someone know how to chage the main submission image? I posted for mistake the wip version instead than the final version and It doesn’t allow me to edit and update , I have posted a link to the right version in the link but it shows the wrong version in the main Gallery image.

#75

Good luck to all competitors. Does anyone know when the results will come out?

#76

Travis mentioned judging would take 6 weeks, I’d assume two weeks for each of the three judges categories. Mid September maybe?

#77

Categories are four , they added the science category too , though they forgot to update the page so not many people choose that .

#78

What hapopened to the competition end date announcement ? Also the gallery is getting overloaded with non related content .

#79

My work dissapeared from the Gallery.
It seems that there is a limit of 10 pages in the galery, so as new posts are being added, the older start dissapearing. I hope you can fix it.

It would be nice if there could be a date or something when winners are announced.

Also i think it wont matter if your post dissapears from gallery so long as it is in portfolio and submitted to challange.

Mine has never been at frontpage more than 1 hour. And that was when i submitted it.

#81

What happened with the Contest? I see the forum is now overrun by all sort of other subject related images.

I asked travis, here’s his answer:

Hi Travis

I think everyone is a bit confused about the thrust challenge. mainly:

  • is it closed and in judging now?

yes over the next 6 weks

  • when will the results be out?

approx 6 weeks

  • the older posts has dissappeared from the forum, does that mean that they will not be judged?

[I]the forum is closed but the entries are there just not open to public

we will send out a newsletter this week waiting on a few judges before announcing the final announcment

[/I]

If you could find the time, maybe you could answer some of these questions in the sticky thread

Have a nice day, and best regards
Sascha"

#84

yeah I’ll try to go :smiley:

Nice ship btw

#85

It’s been about 7 weeks since contest end - and I believe 6 weeks was the expected time frame for judging. With all due respect, can we get some kind of communication with regards to the state of affairs? Thanks!

#86

Yes an updated information if the challenge still exists or almost any bit of info would be great. Thx in aadvance

BIG CONTEST, LOT"S of Winners;)

We are staying silent until everyone that’s a judge chimes in, and there are lots and lots of entries guys so stay patient with all these prizes we put together there is no rushing through it. Judging goes through several rounds. We are a little through half way through and will make an announcement when we know for certain when All categories are in the final round with all judges ringing in. prizeless contest can happen within 3 to 4 weeks this one will take us a while still shouldn’t be much longer. as a guideline we will most likely hold two prize contest a year 3 months for the challenge 3 months for judging. Keep in mind we have several projects we are building for the users that are free and here to help you like iMT and a site overhaul so the more support and understanding we have the easier it is to bring new stuff. besides would you rather have a new or old version of the software you won… wink wink

Check out the z brush summit this weekend and hang tight warriors!
