Frequently Asked Questions

I suppose there might be extended deadline, so everyone would upload entries after problems with uploader are solved. It’s hard for me to imagine that challengers would suffer because of challenge manager problems :slight_smile:

I’ve sent final entry via mail, just for case. But just now I’ve realised that the rules said that you have to have at least one work for each milestone. And I don’t have anything on concept art milestone - everything I’ve painted, was from my mind and I didn’t use references - it wasn’t needed for me. Painting represents my mind :stuck_out_tongue: Does that mean that I’m going to be disqualified?

I’ve sent the final via email too…

I think it’s quite weird that for the whole day nobody from the cgsociety team couldn’t find the time to give us even small info about what’s going on…

Hope tommorow will bring some answers :slight_smile:

Hello everyone,

Sorry for not responding sooner.

You should all receive an email soon. the following is our official message:

–

Dear Challenge Entrant,
Sometimes you spend a great deal of time double checking new systems to iron out all the bugs only to find that a real simple issue like server time was not set as you would have expected. Unfortunately this happened to us and the Dreamscape Challenge closed approximately 16 hours earlier than we had planned.

With this in mind we have opened up the Challenge for the next 24 hours to enable you to submit your entry that you were busily trying to get in place in the last 24 hours only to find you had been shut out. Just to be clear - The challenge will accept entries up until 23:59:59 UTC on the 3rd of March 2011.

We are really sorry for causing you a bit of stress, as I said before, this is a brand new system and it won’t happen again, we promise!

Always Supporting The CG World,

The CGSociety Challenge Team

thank you Keenly … I was in a big shock. Now its ok !! i have happily uploaded the final image … Thank you again. Your new system rocks … really rocks man.

#532

got the email. now I understand why the button link disappear before the deadline. the only issue now is that i have been trying to upload for several times and it always stops right before it reaches the middle of the upload progress bar. perhaps due to so many people around the world uploading at the same time, causing traffic jam?? I will keep on trying and hope it works.

#533

i knew everything will be ok :slight_smile:

heh i have to always be the baddest of all kids
thx for extension upload 2 hours before deadline :slight_smile:

I can’t seem to upload my final picture, no thumbnail preview or anything shows up at all except the editing tools below. Tried several times now…still not working for me.

#535

For me I get : about to create Submission

when uploading Making of video encoded in Divx8… tried 2 times and nothing :frowning:

#536

I entered my standard low-res version as final, a ninja stopped by to point out my error. I get that “About to create submission” page as well, I thought maybe I couldn’t upload more than once, but if others are getting it then maybe something is doinked. I’ll just keep checking back, retrying. I did send this question to Baliistic as well. I’m sure they’re slammed.

#537

got the same problem britterbot
when i click on submit this entry nothing happens

#538

not sure if this helps, but, when i uploaded my final image i also got some error, it would upload image and then a white page with some text. i dont remember what exactly was writen but it well could be “about to create submission”. And then i realised i am uploading .tiff , and it seems we are sopose to upload .jpg

#539

Thanks Maantas- I tried with a jpg and that worked. :buttrock:

#540

guys just make sure that the file you’re trying to upload has no SPACE in its name
good luck to all

#541

In my case it is not a name issue. could be codec issue, movie size issue, length issue. Who knows. Luckily the movie was uploaded here, but making of is going on Vimeo…

#542

Arrggh!!!:argh: :scream:
I’ve just read the mail Keenly is talking about and I’ve been trying to upload my final image, but there’s seems to be a mayor traffic jam with the uploading system. I can’t get beyond the “pick a file” window…

#543

Entries are closed!

good luck everyone.

for anyone who had trouble uploading by the deadline (and we haven’t contacted you already). please send an email to ‘info at cgsociety.org’ with your username and details of the problem you encountered, and i will contact you back shortly on what to do next.
