A new contest on the way

[Darrell Lawrence]

We're making plans for a new contest.

If you have ideas/suggestions, feel free to post 'em. We'll take them into consideration.

[gmd3d]

Will do .:)

[gmd3d]

To get the ball rolling, any trek era .

1. Star Trek Book Cover Image Contest

( Like the old Star Trek Books)

Sample Included

[Tenement]

Sounds like fun. I'll have a look at my old book covers.

[gmd3d]

Any other ideas you can think off will be great . we can then pick the most popular .. but there is no reason why we cannot later use all suggested for future contests ..

I would also like to do another model contest .. the last one went every well ..

alas I lost my model back up disc too .. I was thinking of releasing it

[Tenement]

We could try a calendar comp for 2011. Create an image using the 3d package of your choice with the voted winner's picture representing the month. Come 2012 and we could have a really nice calendar for downloading.

[gmd3d]

sounds good .. we see if we can get any more suggestions from the gang ..

come on guys .. speak :)

or your going to be stuck with my poor offer .. Tenements looks a winner .. any bids on that

[Tenement]

I know they're out there, I can hear them breathing.

[gmd3d]

even one or two wheezing :)

[Darrell Lawrence]

Well... if no one other than Mods and Admins have ideas, then we'll go with what the Mods and Admins decide in our discussion forum.

[gmd3d]

Ok members you heard it ..... come on now .. some of you are very talented in creating some awesome images and making models .. spread your creative wings ..

how about some suggestions for the contest .

what would you like to try as a challenge.
we don´t bite ... er perhaps Fretslayer does ..But he is having a nap now :)

we had a cracking good one before with a cargo contest .. went down a dream

[Darrell Lawrence]

sounds like a good one. and thanks for the suggestion :biggrin:but it limits the amount of members to participate in the contest. I am next to useless with photo-shop

What were looking for is something that everyone can do regardless of program.

But thats something I would like to see in the future when we have a larger mix of members participating here in Poser and Daz photoshop. as well as the other programs. we will possibly then be more dedicated contest.

this contest is also a way for us to see what direction we can go in the future .....

But there is no reason why photoshop members cannot design whatever contest is final chosen.

Damn. THIS close to winning without having to do anything! :biggrin:

I really enjoyed the Cargo contest... I would love to make a "ship of the line" Not trek, but an original design like the cargo ship... just my two cents

thats a good idea too .. I would like too see some original designs too outside of Star Trek. I am looking a many new concept sites to get a feel of what going on....

we will choose one soon..

but it would be great to get more feed back :frown: like this and to see how many would like to see more contests :evil:

[Darrell Lawrence]

Ok folks that have NOT replied with suggestions... on the 15th this thread will be closed and a decision will be made soon there after on what the contest will be. So if you do have a suggestion, you need to get it posted ASAP.
