All entrants are required to submit their final images at the Game-Artisans Pre-Dom War V submissions page.

What this means is that you are required to be a member of the Game-Artisans forum. If you are not a member, click here to begin the registration process before attempting to submit your final entries.

If you are already a member, then go to the corresponding links below, login and submit your final images.

3D Character Art Submissions

2D Concept Art Submissions

3D Animations Submissions



IMPORTANT:

• Remember to read the submission rules before submitting your entry.
• OPTIONAL: You can submit up to 12 images for the 3D Character Art entries. These extra images are strictly for any Work In Progress screenshots you wish to show to demonstrate the progression of your modelling and texturing phase (these will not be judged nor affect the judging process). However, you must submit the single presentation image (1000px X 1000px max res, 350kb max file size) and only one presentation image. Additional beauty renders and presentation images will be disregarded and will not be judged.
• If you WANT your artwork to be compiled into a pack and then sold by Game-Artisans, tick the appropriate box. If you DO NOT want your artwork to be compiled into a pack and sold by Game-Artisans, tick the appropriate box. Selecting either option will not affect the outcome of the judging.
• NEW DEADLINE: 11:59 p.m Eastern Time, Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

If you have any issues with submitting or you are unsure of what to do, don't hesitate to ask in this thread.

You may have noticed if you tried to submit in the last few hours that the links above are broken.

More on this soon.

Emil Mujanovic

Submissions are re-open.

onelunglewis

Is this an appropriate submission or can you only have a single rendering in the final submission picture?

Emil Mujanovic

That's perfect, onelunglewis. It meets all the requirements necessary for the submission.

Please read before submitting.

Daven

people are really blowing this out of proportion. Thanks for the heads up Emil I'll still be entering.

TonyBTiger83

Links were broken. I Figured I submit it here so it can be seen.

TonyBTiger83

Did the submissions ever go back up? The links were still dead when I tried 30 min ago

Levus

Yes, same question?

Emil Mujanovic

The submissions page will go live once again on Monday 13th, December. The contest is still live and Polycount are very much still participating in the Pre-Dom War V Contest. The new deadline is now Wednesday 15th, December.

If you submitted previously, you MUST submit your entry again. All previous submissions have been removed so please don't forget.

Be sure to re-read the rules, double check your entries to make sure they contain all the right information and read the disclaimer on the submissions page.

Best of luck.

!! owned in one word, that is how to despatch...

Firebert

Emil is not a dick. He is a fluffy teddy bear with a colourful sense of fashion.

JacqueChoi

Emil might be a forum dick, but damnit! He's OUR forum dick!

Uh guys, I've just uploaded my final image before reminding I forgot to write the class of my character.

Do you think it's a problem ? =/

crazyfingers

Shouldn't be an issue. I'm only including my class names because I don't think it's obvious who the heros are and who the NPC is. If you really want them in and think it will add to the piece you can talk to fred in this thread:

[N]

Well, I've just one character on my shot. And I think it pretty obvious that's not a War general neither a shadow nor a Technomage. It's a kind of voodoo doll sorcerer ( corrupted).

So It's ok, I can sleep tonight

JacqueChoi

Woot!!!

Here's my submission!!!



Can't wait to see what's in store.

I dont know why, but my final image looks a bit fuzzy, as if the sharpness was taken out of it. Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it? The image looks different on the submission page than it does here on polycount, my blog or photobucket even though its the same image. Thanks

crazyfingers

Hmm, it could be that submitting it did an auto resampling to reduce the filesize. I would do a save for web, jpg in photoshop and inch the quality down until it's just under 350 kbs. Hope that works out for ya.

kaktuzlime

That´s exactly what I´ve done =( 349.5 kb. So no, doesn´t work =( Thanks for the suggestion though

*edit. it´s odd, if I take "view Image" in a separate window I get the correct image. It looks like, on the GA page that the image is displayed bigger than it really is. That´s where the Fuzziness comes from. Never seen this before, but I hope it looks good on other peoples computers. Might be some local setting on my computer...

murph

most of the final submissions i've seen have just disregarded the rules for the beauty sheet or whatever.... with no wireframe and no texture flats on their main entry.....

will they need to change that before voting? or is it just one of those "more like guidelines instead of rules" things... just checkin.....

Emil Mujanovic

murph: According to the rules, they would not be counted as eligible entries as the submissions criteria has not been met. However, at the end of the day it'll be up to the Dominance War judges to decide. Seeing as it's only a warm up challenge before the main contest, those particular entries may get a free pass this time around.

NathanA

Wrapped it up just in time... didn't polish nearly as much as I would have liked too but glad I got it in.

JacqueChoi

I read somewhere it's gonna be the top 3 entries from each forum going up against each other.




Kinda weak, I personally think the quality at PC was overall so much higher than most other forums. Could easily have 8 of the top 10 IMHO.

Also kinda sucks that some forums like CGhub have like.. 8 entries tops... 3 of which are given a placement to the finalists.

Nix

Huh, I would have just automatically assumed the amount of finalists would be proportionate to the amount of entries on each forum. It only makes sense.

InProgress

Here's mine. Kind of shitty, but I'm just glad I learnt a whole bus ton.
