Graphics contest?

I guess I will enter. This will be good motivation for me to finally figure out how to use infini-d.

of COURSE i'll enter. I'll get my butt kicked, but i could always use the publicity... (order graphics from SGE, the company that came in 11th out of 10 in the graphics contest! wow, what a treat!)
i'll probably enter a planet or something since my ships aren't too good yet (or maybe i'll enter the Tickleopian A-Wing, heheh)

I gave up on Cinema 4D. After Strata I just didnt like the interface. I am selling it to a friend and using the money to buy Strata 3D plus, and putting some money towards a car. My entry is half done at the moment. Strange for me but this one is big on texturing.

As to sizes, I would recommend 640x480 as a good size. Either that or 800*600. Also does the image just have to be of the ship? or can it be in a scene? What would be prefered?

To immediately double the apparent 'good-ness' of your ships, try texturing 🙂

The ship you made for me didn't need them, but future ones will.

why don't you consider about having a theme for ships or something? like Rebel/Confed or V/UE sort of ship looking themes? That could be interesting.

Hmm... does this have to be a ship? I have something really cool in mind, but it's not exactly a ship. Ever play Final Fantasy Six? Remember the Falcon, Setzer's airship? Yeah, I have this great model along those lines...Is this legal? If not, I could convert it to a spaceship, but it wouldn't be as cool.

Enter: a shadowy presence. :rolleyes:

C'mon, Cap'n Skyblade, we're all waiting for specifics! Image size, possibly topics/categories, maximum entries per person, and most importantly, due date?

To all who had questions regarding the category of your images: As long as they relate to planetary scenery or some type of space craft (or structure), it will work fine. I'm currently about to finish up the new graphics contest section at the SS website, and all the rules will be mentioned there. Sorry it's taken so long... I lost my connection for awhile after the excite server shut down completely. All is well now, though.

Weepul: To answer your questions (these rules will also be on the graphics page)

Thumbnail Image Size: 300x150 pixels
Full-size image: No limit
Categories: "Planetary Scenery" and "Ship and Space Scenes." These also divide into advanced, intermediate, and elementary skill levels. More will be explained once I have the webpage up, so keep checking by SS this evening.
Maxiumum entries per person: 2
Deadline: March 1st

So I CAN do my non-ev-related aircraft? it's so cool! Otherwise the Aurora Dragon will be worthy...

As long as it's some type of spacecraft, go ahead and submit it.

OK good. My entry is well under way. It is almost through its alpha-1 build (main fuselage complete with texturing). Only 5 more to go through before beta :rolleyes: This ship will be an odd-ball for me, I have never spent so long on the texturing, and I think I have managed to come up with something a bit special in that department.

My first entry should be in by February the 10th. Second by the 24th.

Bah, I registered all three (Glitterato, SolarCell, LunarCell) a few days after I downloaded them. 😛 It's always nice to have a few bucks on your hands...

Were you trying to make a background? If so, do it by hand. You're much more likely to get credit if you do it that way.

Be original! Everyone users Flaming Pear products these days! 😛

Seriously, you're the composer of your image. Everything is up to you.

I really suck at textures. is it considered cheating if i download textures from "texture vaults"?

Look at the submission I made up there. I used 3 different textures from the texture vault on there, and 2 more from combining different textures.

Well, I CAN convert it to be a spaceship, but it won't be as cool looking.

...or will it. Hm?
