Here it is:

Due Date: Thursday, April 11
Theme: Digital Dreams or Winter/Cold

I was also thinking, that if you have some kind of a beta version, please don't post it here. It will become confusing which image is your final.
If you want to post ur Beta, post in in the image showoff ;)

thx!

Are there gonna be any softaware restrictions? For instance, is it possible for us to use Bryce 5, 3D Studio Max and World Builder?

Cool babe....

Then can I use Flash or Swish with combination of PSP7 to design it........???????

Time to get ready......

IceBlu
06-04-2002, 06:35:PM
Ok.....

Let me clarify

This is NOT a Signature contest

It does NOT need text effects

It should be more than just a collage of photographs.

LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD ! :D

Thats why the theme(s) chosed aptly by KADER have such a broad scope.


Get Clickin !

That's the trick! ;) I don't even know what it is... just make something, that will make us think it's a Digital Dream ;)

Hey......when i create an image in PS , converting it from BMP to Jpeg or Gif loses me a LOT of sharpness and quality.

PNG does a good job though...

Does anyone know a site that supports PNG uploads ???

Let me know

Also , whe do we start displaying the images ?

Cheers.

::shinji::
07-04-2002, 08:57:AM
Iceblu, if it's just a sig you want to upload, then I know yoursighost.com supports PNG. That's where I have my current sig uploaded to and it's a PNG..

IceBlu
07-04-2002, 09:15:AM
nope :(

its not a Sig :( and my image exceeds the size limit of Yoursighost.

::shinji::
07-04-2002, 09:39:AM
Ah, bummer!

Sorry dude, I wish I could help ya :( I actually would like to know of a place like that too...problem is, most image upload sites don't let you link images from them :mad:

Hey guys I made a digital dreams test thread to put our trial versions of the entry. That way we only put in 1 image, the final version only in the contest/poll thread. http://www.soccergaming.tv/showthread.php?threadid=36623

One question though, does it have to be a still image or could it be and animated image? And could I post a very large image as I have my own ftp server with which I can upload my stuff on?

::shinji::
07-04-2002, 02:15:PM
manufan, I just see an "http://..." address now....ufortunatly Geocities is one of those stupid places that give you free webspace, but then don't allow you to link your images from there...

Online auction sites used to be a great place to upload images to, but I think a lot of them are starting to catch on to guys like us and are starting not to allow it anymore...the bastards! :mad:

Actually, that's my website.:o ;) But I agree with you. They told me I had unlimited space in which to do anything but now they won't allow me to.:mad:

::shinji::
07-04-2002, 02:50:PM
Yeah, I especially hate free web space providers who put thier own banner up when you link an image from them, like Angelfire. So then you think you've uploaded your sig, but when you go look, all you have is an Angelfire ad!

I don't think you can, unless they change the rules.... again! :mambo:

Anyway, I am out because I have been to busy with my site and I haven't had any time what so ever to get an image ready, however I DID finished the transfer list off and clear all that crap out of the way, so I am pretty happy about that :D
