Hey I still have not recieved a confirmation, that my image has been recieved. Also when I go to submit stuff it is telling me that all of my milestones are completed! for the 2d not the 3d, but my thumbnail for the tiff image that I sent over through ftp, shows that you guys have recieved it, but the thumb of my image is not showing. iIt is showing just a red X with whiteback. I am concerned if oyou guys have recieved it all all! Let me know something, I would hate to see my image not go to through to judging.:sad:

Hey Mibus,

It’s probably a little late now , but in the last day or two of the challenge I found that my uploaded images lost something when cgtalk converted the image to upload. I vaguely remember someone saying that you have the Gamma setting at .89 or there abouts. I think this was the problem I was having could you confirm what gamma settings you use. I was going to upload an image to my thread just to see if it helped but I can’t submit entries anymore.

P.S. I uploaded my gamma corrected image to my CGportfolio, I think it made some difference it is much closer to my original .

Hi, paperclip i’ve a question for you - yeah i know that is the mibus house:) - but i’v seen your entry (and the nebezial entry too) in the Finished Work gallery BEFORE the end of the challenge, but when i tried to do the same thing this is the response:

"Your submission has been declined for the following reason(s):
Please do not submit challenge images until AFTER the challenge has ended.

Maybe i did something wrong?

and what mean AFTER? after de voting? after the deadline?

tankyou for help

A couple of challenge entries slipped through accidentally because of miscommunication between moderators. Sorry about that!

The challenge officially ended TODAY so challenge entries can now be submitted.

Hi all! about confirm email , I just got it after I submit final tiff 2-3 days later , so I think don’t panic , if you upload all milestone and thumbnail in final page show correctly , I assmue that confirm email are send by automatic script or something( don’t sure) maybe it take time when server have lot of traffic (I’m not mod ). and from my experience from the past challenge , mibus and staff are very great support , if you do every step correct in time and the problem is about server load , they can help you for sure . and from my experience , submit your final tif before deadline at least 1-2 days if possible . good luck to you all !

Good to see that monsitj. Ha ha ha, lol, it is not strictly about “panic”. It is just kind of thing, that you know about somebody who did get confirmation, and you didn´t… Everybody just want to have everything correct after this hard/nice journey. And upload-connection-ftp-send-confirm-… is that side of CGI that makes us go nuts ( beside freezing, crashing, rendering…) Thank you. Good luck!

I have tried to find out when the final result will be announced by the jury
?

Can’t see a set date anywhere

[BAMU]

yep, good question, I’m interested to know too

[alvin-cgi]

I didn’t get any confirmation mail either.

It uploaded fine, and I can go in and see it on my “upload final” page.

Now I am really confused!!!:argh: What “confirmation mail”??? What are you guys talking about? I never received any email after upload all milestone, turntable, HiRes Tiff and thumbnail in final page, and all show correctly, do I(we) need that “confirmation mail”??:curious:

So we should wait to upload the finals till after the challenge deadline?
I’m kinda confused.

Hi. I haven’t uploaded the final image milestone, but I have uploaded final TIFF via FTP. Does that count or I’m disqualified? :hmm:

[BAMU]

well, I feel sorry to say that, but you must achieve all the milestones along tiff image, at least this I’ve clearly undesrtod from info stuff.

BAM
