( ALL CONTEST RENDERS ARE TO BE POSTED HERE: https://zonegfx.com/forums/topic/halloween-artistic-render-contest/ )
It is 3 weeks till Halloween and I would like to create my first (and last) contest for all 3D artists.
(CAN SKIP reading this part) As Genesis 9 rolls in, I have grown tired of both creating and purchasing new 'upgrades' concerning Daz3d. As such, I am hoping those new and those ever faithful to the format will show me what true 3d artist are able to create.
(ABOUT CONTEST) With Halloween just around the corner, I challenge you to create the ultimate Halloween artistic render.
Starting today till October 24th submit your renders. At which time, all submissions will be voted upon (25th-30th October).
Anyone can enter. Everyone who has been a part of zonegfx.com for at least 6 months, can vote (Just not on your own render :P).
First place winner will receive (100K points)
Second place winner will receive (75K points)
Third place winner will receive (50K points)
Fourth place winner will receive (25K points)Also, my personal favorite render will receive *an extra* (50K points)
But wait, there's more.. All 5th place+ renders that receive at least one vote will get (1K points).
Requirements: The renders must be original, unpublished and within the spirit of Halloween (Totensonntag, Blue Christmas, Thursday of the Dead, Samhain, Hop-tu-Naa, Calan Gaeaf, Allantide, Day of the Dead, Reformation Day, All Saints’ Day, Mischief Night, etc are all welcome). The renders must not contain any nudity or sexual content.
ALSO THE RENDERS MUST CONTAIN YOUR USERNAME USING THIS PRODUCT: https://zonegfx.com/reallogo-for-daz-studio/
Other than that, GO WILD!
-Lastly, (Confirmed with Hunter) Top 4 winning submissions will be put on the front page banner for the Halloween week. If you would like to opt out of this, let me know.
I have a question about this contest. The theme is including the nov.2. Day of the Deaths or it's just about the pagan oct.31. feast?
Thanks. I should have been more clear on that. Any religion and/or cultures that celebrates some form of this ritual, are welcome.
So.. Totensonntag, Blue Christmas, Thursday of the Dead, Samhain, Hop-tu-Naa, Calan Gaeaf, Allantide, Day of the Dead, Reformation Day, All Saints' Day, Mischief Night,etc are all welcome.
Yay! another contest! I love contests!
Question: Do I rally have to use Reallogo product for text? 3D text of any style/font can be created outside DAZ
@tunamcbutter 1 submission per person.
@hodor It's more for assurance that everyone's entry is legit and they actually made their render for this contest. Sure, I guess people that have talent in photoshop might be able to fool people. I'm pretty good at discerning such attempts though. (That's a lie)Anyway, all these questions tell me I did not do the best at explaining the contest. I apologize. This is my first time trying to run a contest. If anyone feels I should add more context to the 'rules' let me know.
@Kefka Thank you the answer and for the hosting this contest.
No problem.
There seems to be a bit of ambiguity so just for clarity

So as long as I use the last item in my render, Post is or is not allowed? in say photoshop just so it is clear as i prefer to render in layers so i can adjust as i see fit and reassemble outside of daz studio is that allowed or not allowed? since the answer above to a question was based on everyone’s entry is legit which is sort of open to interpretation i might want to use some of my own assets and maybe a whole different 3d program I just want to make sure everything is clear, thanks for doing this.I want it to contain users name using the said product but the first submission missed that caveat. It was kinda my way of countering cheating, but obviously it is one that wasn't well thought out. I would like the username to reflect the lighting and interact with environment but I get that it can be easily manipulated to do just that in photoshop. So I guess using said product is honestly pointless. I would still like it to be present in the render and NOT just added in via photo manipulation and I will look fondly at those that do actually integrate it into their render for when choosing my personal favorite.. that said, I guess I can't actually make anyone faithfully follow this path.
Photoshop is definitely allowed for layering and small adjustments. I know how hard it is to get lighting just right sometimes and I won't make someone create a perfect render on the fly considering this contests time allowance.
You can use any rendering engine you like.
Thanks for the clarity as far as the object goes i am cool with it as i already know how i am going to work it in i just wanted to make sure i could run my idea and use photoshop for the finish
seeing as the winning image might be used as a Zonegfx banner, is there a prefered image size? (I usually render at 1680x1050)
Thanks!The one on the front page is 1600x750. I'm not sure how/if Hunter will/can format them to fit the front page. I would assume it won't be a huge problem, but I've never used wordpress (this is wordpress, right?).
If worse comes to worst, I'll do my best to shrink/expand all winners to a happy medium while retaining the format.
-Apparently 1600x700 pixels is the 'official banner dimensions' size. I just learned something today.
Though no matter what, if one/some of the renders catches a person's eye, they can always open the image to view full size (in many browsers) by right clicking and 'open image in new tab' or such.
