I was curious as to if you guys cared to have a graphics contest (been awhile since we've had one)... If so, I'll be happy to host a homepage and collect the submissions as they come. Myself, and maybe another member or two will then set a deadline and judge the images according to application category. I'll give more details after I get some feedback.

I would love to join such a contest, knowing that I'll get my ass kicked of course, but the deadline would need to be a couple of weeks to a month from now so I can get Strata over to our new iMac since our old computer isn't available right now since it can't connect to the net.

Categories should be based on skill level, not modeler.

Anyways, I might enter something if you host one...

I think a graphics contest is a good idea. Maybe I should write a PHP script to do it, wouldnt be hard either. A big plus is that I can get some webspace for it too

So, what do we think? If I wrote a script we could have a perpetual competition, like it runs for two months a time or something...

Yeah I would participate. It would still be a Strata entry as I am not very good with C4D yet. I have made a pretty good looking version of the Enterprise (from the Enterprise Series) but the texturing is taking a bit of getting used to. I will make a model in Strata and enter with that.

Yeah, that'd be great, as long as it won't be any problem. I'll be happy to make a spot on my server for the mentioned purpose. Would this operate somewhat like the Image Gallery (only different code, of course)? and would you need FTP access to my server?

I'll be happy to have you assist in overlooking the contest and judging.

I was thinking along a deadline somewhere around the 1st of May (that way we can give designers plenty of time to work on their images, and allow for additional submissions).

MadFax: Sure, we can seperate images by skill level. Some people prefer competing against others using the same 3D application, but skill is just more practical...

If you organize it I'll enter, probably with my old stuff. Can you devide it by the various ship categories: freaighters, fighters, etc.
Oh and make the landscape category, so I could win atleast something, kicking ass with MojoWorld .....(Just kidding)

------------------

I'm thinking in the long run... I'd be willing to make a "contests.evula.net" type page, that could host multiple contests (ie: one every three months or so), and that could host many different types, like graphics or story. Since BH can do the scripts, it would make sense if he was the admin for the thing (if he doesn't, I will). Just a thought.

This is an excellent idea, and something I would love to participate in; I'll get my butt kicked, of course, but we'll be able to see an art display, which is nice.

Not sure about separating ships by class... I believe keeping things as basic as elementary, intermediate, and advanced would be the best idea for simplicity's sake. Getting over-complicated with the categories can cause a few problems...

EVula: Stealing my ideas again, eh? I'll probably just hold an SS graphics competition once or twice a year.

Cafall: It's all for fun's sake. The way it should be.

Penguin: I was actually referring to the deadline... Giving users three or so months to work on their projects and allow additional submissions from other designers. I don't think I could host a graphics competition that often.

Also, as it's own seperate subdomain, that would give BH (the script author) a better way to test out his stuff, and not have to deal with someone else using your account. While I trust BH, I personally don't like sharing my accounts, no matter where or who (including Cara, but to a lesser degree) it may be.

Yeah. Ok. What are specifics and requirements? I.e. max/min size, et cetera.

I WANT TO ENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These contests are a good way to see how you stand in the graphics community... Good Idea!

I've got this small feeling you'll end up whipping everyone in the Lightwave category.

OK, I'll quickly whip up a script. As for the server, I would like to do direct uploads of the pictures from the submitters HD too, so can we do that? I'll be using MySQL here, but that can be changed. Does anyone have gd installed with php?

So, what size(byte size, graphic size) limits do you want on the contest? I'm too tired to write the scripts right now, I'll do it tomorrow.
