Cool. Sounds great! Looking forward to getting started

You guys really should have separate categories for amateur and professional. most amateurs do not have access to the kinds of hardware and software the pros do, so the contest is not really fair in that regard. BTW what are the file requirements, size and resolution etc..? Please consider losing the 800xwhatever size rule. It kills the detail.

I thought I'd be Funny last year and ask for coal (Since diamonds come from it) ...I think I'll play it a little different this year and stick with tradition. Looking forward to it - Halloween must be over... Turkeys get no respect and get flown by. gobble, gobble.

Hopefully I can get my computer running in time for this! It would be fun to enter a contest for once. :)

Duh...where are the rules, requirements, and prizes listed? Did I miss a link?

kyoto_kid ()  posted at 12:00AM Sun, 16 November 2008

so a little confused. Is it 3D-Animation or 3D Stills or Animation?

3D still or Animation. This category is for either. The contest rules will be posted when the contest actually launches later today so be watching for that. Thanks

Hmm

gojira-san ()  posted at 12:00AM Tue, 18 November 2008

What is the size and/or length limit to the animations? Thanks.

sparrownightmare - basicly you're right - amateur against pro not really fair ... but who can decide, were amateur status ends and pro status starts - and vice-versa ... that's the problem for your suggestion ...

This looks awesome! but I have to ask as I see E-ons logo, but no Vue 7? Not complaining as those prizes are very cool, just wondering why. Good luck all.

rofocale ()  posted at 12:00AM Wed, 19 November 2008

This sounds great! But I would like to know if E-on´s logo means a chance to win Vue 7?! Also, a suggestion: There would be just excellent if one could win gift certs, to use in the Renderosity store!

See the actual contest page for 2d/photography and for 3d/animation for the exact prizes http://www.renderosity.com/mod/contest/index.php?contest_id=951 http://www.renderosity.com/mod/contest/index.php?contest_id=950

I have a question regarding originality. To what extent is purchased content allowed? If I create an animation then may I use a background for the animation that was purchased and not created by me? What about the characters and props? Must everything used in the animation be created from scratch or must only the putting-together of the components be original?

digiPixel ()  posted at 4:21AM Fri, 21 November 2008

Looks wonderful ... - My personal questions : 1 - is there a a special theme like last year or is anything allowed? 2 - the contest rules say 1 entry per person, per category. Does this mean that you can put an image in 3D and a pic in photography both?? - Anyway .... Merry X-Mass hohoho ... Good luck to everyone!!

I am very happy to see a Christmas Competition and am getting ready to enter 1 of my Photographs. May not place however it is fun to enter into these. Wish Everyone Good Luck and Season's Greeting

StaceyG ()  posted at 2:44PM Fri, 21 November 2008

dopeydesign, 1. The theme is "Home for the Holidays" and that is left up to your own interpretation. 2. Yes

I have a question: Where should I upload my Poser render? Under the 3D section or the 2D section? I ask this because I have seen 3D work under 2D sections in earlier contests. A bit confusing (for me).

kasmier ()  posted at 6:35PM Tue, 25 November 2008

I have a question about items allowed for the background in 3D. Can I put a photograph in that is not my own creation.

I want to say A BIG THANK YOU TO RENDEROSITY... there was some misunderstanding if artist were inelegible if they won prizes. I and some others misread it as if you won, you could never enter another contest - I was told today that that is not true... Only your winning entry is not elibable... so calum5 is back in the contest - or should we change his name to Lance Armstrong? - lol THANK YOU AGAIN RENDEROSITY FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING, THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL AND NOW I FEEL THIS PLACE EVEN CARES MORE THAN I COULD IMAGINE - GREAT PLACE -
