There is no limit to the amount of ships you can enter. Waylon, I guess you can enter but you can't win the cash so that would go to the runner up then. But by all means submit your designs!

I'mNotHere has endorsed an extra 500,000c to the winner
Genka has endorsed an extra 500,000c to the winner
Durgia has endorsed an extra 20,000,000 to the winner (only if design enters game)
KAos_nyrb has endorsed an extra 2,000,000 to the winner

I intentioanlly set the date far off so that designs can be rendered then fixed up. If a lot of people submit finished products earlier I may give a moved up date for preliminarys. The FINALS will still be held on June 1st

NEW RULE: Developers MAY enter but may not win the prize money. They are after all the Devs and can generate their own money and this is for player designs. I encourage devs to enter though.


SUBMISSIONS: jaredalaska@hotmail.com

Any format for Mac or PC works, as long as it is a standard program. I have both a mac and PC so you don't need to worry about conversion.

KAos_nyrb's entry has been submitted, you may work and update the design further. You have until the prelims for early changes

PRELIMINARY DATE: All entry's submitted MUST be completed for the preliminary match on April 1st

Previously generated designs (liek Aroltes Hog) can be submitted if you want but I haven't decided whether I will include them in endorsement since they have already been viewed by the Devs. I want these ships to be brand new never before seen.

To send an e-mail picture, save it as a document, then attach it (as an attachment) and e-mail it to the SUBMISSIONS email address before April 1st, 2004.

PS: All the Ravenous9ak messages are really me, BLACK 1, Im just at a friends house and didnt change accoutns easrlier...sry for confusioN!

can parts form other from shows and from a persons imagination mixed together be ok? and will there be a size limit?

Hmm any format I have some nice povray sources on my box of IMHO very nice simple ships....
so do you accept povray sources...?
Feb 14, 2004 roguelazer link
Povray is more standard than any other raytracer, so I'd guess so. Personally, I prefer yafray.
Feb 14, 2004 Ravenous9ak link
Well, size doesn't matter...first time I've ever said THAT!

As for borrowing pieces then splicing them with your own, go ahead, just dont plagerize an entire image.

As for Povray vs Yafray....uhhh, either?! In all (me being brutally honest) I have no idea what the difference is. Go ahead and email them and if they don't work I can always just send back an email saying that they didn;t.

I want to sign up... Unfortunately I won't be adding any money to the pot (good thing I know how to use my 3d sotware ;)
Feb 14, 2004 toshiro link
does it have to be rendered?
i have no access to a 3d rendering software (and i lack the know-how). i already got 2 ships in a top, side, front, bottom and rear view, made in freehand.
i'd donate 50k to the pool...
Feb 14, 2004 zoid fuzor link
if only i can enter, but my email won't send
and my design would be unbeatable if it was on the game
it is faster than a valk, more armor than the frig and has
3 weapons that destroy in 1 hit
and tons of more stuff

Lol, I guess that's not what this thread is about. ;-)

/me laughs in the corner

Does it have to be a 3D Model? Can it be like a blue print with a top, side, and front view?
Feb 14, 2004 zoid fuzor link

Feb 15, 2004 toshiro link
do you *have* to pull this thread down?
Feb 15, 2004 Pyroman_Ace link
I would ask that people remain Task Saturated here. This really is a serious thread.

CheeseWarfare: The idea isn't nessicarily a 3D model but the general design. I'd prefer blueprint-style to have the following

Views:
Front
Top
Side

And for them to have skin on them (aka, steel coloring, national coloring...) Make the craft look like it's gonna go flying rather than just the basic designs and layout. It doesn't have to be absolutely rendered to the level of Waylons but just understandable.

ZOID: How're you trying to send it? Are you using my correct e-mail address? How large is the file you're sending? Compressing the file maybe worth a try if the file is huge. I think that my e-mail has a certain data limit but I'll raise the limit to the max.
