That's certainly right for me (although it's probably chance for me, not skill, which I probably lack)... I hardly had time to get it into an external editor. :hehe:

The upload finished five minutes before (I think) the contest closed... Yes, I am a major procrastinator on certain things... I just hope my guess wasn't off and I didn't spend the past two hours fighting a 160k poly model until I realized I could cut it up in pieces and import it in ~50k chunks... after that, it was just cinematic stuff. Out of all of this, I certainly learned a lesson- plan B should not be reserved for the last day. :D

Excellent work out there (and in here), everyone... I think we proved that a community with a good mindset and toolset can accomplish a lot, even when using what some pro model-makers would wrongly call the 'MS Paint of 3D building programs' to build, or even just acquire our models. There are some pretty incredible and memorable projects out there that people did... once again, great job everyone. :)

thanks for the feedback, cape and seeker, but the more I think about it, the fair thing to do is stay with the programs that everyone have at their disposal for the contest(sketchup, 3dxchange,paint program for texture touch-up, iclone, and some video editing software), That way if I win I know it is because of skill and not because of some fancy external tool. ;)

Cheers,

 If your allowed to enter more than one entry, you should enter both. If the post work entries are disqualified or taken under special consideration, you will still have your 'iClone only' render as a backup.

 To keep it fair, just try to stay in the realm of the best entries you've seen submited without going overboard.

Cheers & good luck,

Chris

Hey Cris I know you want a RL response but for me go for it. If you can make something that is a beautiful peice of eye candy then do it.

Just my thoughts

Cape!

Before i turn in my entry, I would like to know how much post work are we allowed to do on the renders ( both image and animation). I'm staying within Sketchup , 3dexchange, iclone, video editor (to put cuts together and tiltles) and a paint program to touch up textures. But I see some entries that are using plugins after iclone renders, which makes it a little unfair to those that dont have that capability. I have advanced tools that can take an iclone render three to four levels up beyond what i can already do in iclone, but using them would not be fair to the rest of the participants.
So my question is : are you going to ignore the added enhancements or are they going to be taken in consideration. Obviously these plugins can make a huge impact on the images and animations.

thank you,

PS: please answer soon, i only have a day and a half to turn in my entry. Thanks again

Tonight we will be discussing Sketchup & iClone with Andrew Telker on the Wolf & Dulci Hour. You can listen live by tuning in at www.tmoaradio.com at 9pm CST/10pm EST. An interactive chat room is up during our show as well where you can add your thoughts and ask questions while we're on the air - http://www.tmoaradio.com/v3chat/index.php.

thank you Peter, I'm glad that that is the case. The title and the credits alone can eat up 20 seconds of the animation length. :P

Apologies for the delay in replying. The 30 - 60 seconds is a guide rather than a restriction. Videos which are a little over this time will still be eligible to win.
