Ok I also uploaded the 7th view since I can't wait anymore (seeing as nothing is progressing on the official site... must be a cluster #$(@ of a job sorting it out :(
Lammergeier 7th view only
Decided to go a bit darker this time. And originally the wreck on the top right was just hard to see and not on fire with the torches on it... decided to go with a bit of 'nearly burned out' wreck on fire. Its ok, it will do the job though.. someone did a nice job of an Amarr ship on fire on DA.. can't remember who :( --------------------------------------------- Francis Wolcott: "I am a sinner that does not expect forgiveness.

Edited by: Guthwulf on 21/12/2010 11:20:09 Well your not alone :) I put mine in on Sunday after several attempts at getting a png in I managed to get a low res jpg submitted. Still not on the site mind you. I also emailed the addy given just incase there was a system issue. I'm assuming that there's actually been a glut of submissions close to the deadline and they can't cope.
Having looked at some of those that have been submitted a while bunch didn't read the rules again. Not to mention the ones posted by people who've never seen eve let alone played it :D.
G'luck to those who have posted and prepare to have your pride and joy crucified on the forums :) in the nicest possible way of course.

Having looked at some of those that have been submitted a whole bunch didn't read the rules again. ...
i found this really surprising, or maybe i shouldnt have lol.
there are only 8 simple rules to the competition and you have to click past them in order to submit anything, so how could anyone spend days, weeks laboring on their art and then not bother to send in what CCP asked for?
like #5 "Entries may not use any watermarks or... signatures", so probably not a good idea to paste a huge signature in the middle of your drawing?
or #8 "Entrants will need to provide six (6) views of their entry (all in the same image)", so probably 4, or 2 or 1 is not quite the right number??
oh well, i just hope the batch that got submitted from the last week shows up soon, it's kind of nerve wracking to wonder if your submission actually went through or errored somehow with the deadline about to expire...

Well my ship isn't there still.. and I think its the same number (121) of ships there as the first time I submitted (I've submitted 3 times now.. all supposedly successful) - this sounds like it will probably go beyond the deadline to fix the issue, whatever it is, and the ball is pretty much in there court.
Mine is very very far from perfect but I'm happy with it :) --------------------------------------------- Francis Wolcott: "I am a sinner that does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official."

IIrc if you sent a file over 2mb from Asian countries it could go through a lot of tunnels before it reaches its destination. Say Australians will be able to send large attachements through email pretty fine, but then uploading to a public server using http could cause some officials to pause the traffic while they check it out, if it goes through asia.
Then again I could be wrong, just something I heard they started doing about a month ago.

I've got LAMMERGEIER on the hull of my ship ... that wouldn't be considered a signature would it? It is the ships name after all (or class).. its a little hint that it would be a nice feature to see your ship name on the hull in game. But its also something to fill the gaps... I'd love to plaster the Caldari logo everywhere but that was a no no.. wasn't it?

Edited by: joomla alacard on 21/12/2010 16:26:56 I got stuck in a traffic jam last night, and had to scramble to submit it at the 11th hour, closing in on the end! ...stupid people don't know how to merge... anyway, just wanted to share, because I took the time and effort outside of work and school to learn enough about Blender to turn this (deviantArt contest entry) into this ("final vote" entry) orthogonal views
I'm proud of what I could accomplish; definitely a learning experience!

COOL that you think so :) But its my own work that wasn't influenced by anything (at least consciously?) apart from a scribble drawing I did. To be honest it reminds me of of a Klingon warbird more :P Either way it doesn't put me off at all --------------------------------------------- Francis Wolcott: "I am a sinner that does not expect forgiveness.

Hello everyone; Some of these are looking quite nice. Spitfire, I had resubmitted one of my entries with better textures, lights, and bump-mapping, and included Final Version in the description, several days ago, but it still has the duller first version I submitted on the entries list (That has just came to my attention). The one I would like in the contest is the latest submission please. Thank you so much for accepting my submission however I feel I stand a far better chance with the re-touched version. Thank you again.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty awesome. It's just quite likely EA being the evilmongers they are would probably send their lawyers to jump up and down on CCP if that got added to EVE.

Thank you :) Copyright wise - possibly, anything is possible (A shoe company could sue CCP for believing the Dominix looks like one of there shoes), but anyway there is far too much difference between the ships to be an issue... not that CCP would make it anyway since, well in current circumstances I'd say I really don't think they have the man power to do more than what they say.. I'm not even sure they have the man power to do what they say they'll do :(
Actually the biggest confusing aspect is a company like Blizzard - they have BILLIONS at there disposal (unless that money is squandered outside of the company ... which could be the case) and they still take far too long to release products.. Starcraft II is a good example..but, I tried enjoying it - some of the missions where fun (that zombie mission) but I ended up not even finishing it (was playing on hard) I just got tired of retrying missions A good mate said the same thing, he just didn't get into it.. felt more like work that enjoyment lol. Well each to his own.
Anyway, they probably spent a huge amount of money and talent on it and still didn't release what I think is an instant classic.. the first Starcraft (still have the original box in good cond. :) I played many more times over - instant classic - Starcraft II - didn't finish it.. point made. Though I'm side tracking :)
But yeah, copyright today is insane
EDIT: I got to the last mission in SC II .. replayed it over and over.. I sucked at finishing it - didn't want to play it on normal (WAAAAAAY TOO EASY!) and just didn't go back --------------------------------------------- Francis Wolcott: "I am a sinner that does not expect forgiveness.

9 mothers and 1 month do not make a baby...
billions of dollars and a shorter time do not make a better game...
i've seen it first hand. absolutely unlimited funding for game developement, and still either failing to make a product or getting so many people involved that it is conflicting chaos and quality suffers, blizzard is doing it right. take as loooong as necessary, and only release gems...that is what got them the billions in the first place. if they released crap-faster they would not make billions anymore.
anyway this is kinda off topic- none of our ship designs are appearing in the gallery, pls ccp confirmation of our contest submissions at least by email if you can't post them!:)

Good News; UPDATE; Contest is now Over notification now shows on the site. I'm sure the submissions will be sorted out sometime today. I suppose I might be disqualified for not meeting the line art orthographic/blueprint requirements; really had no idea on how to accomplish that outside
of Illustrator and mesh views in Maya; it might be a feature in 3D MAX as in illustrator it would take an almost obscene amount of work-hours. Good luck to
everyone who participated.

Originally by: Noro Aelkiota meeting the line art orthographic/blueprint requirements; really had no idea on how to accomplish that outside of Illustrator and mesh views in Maya;...
here's a trick for next time- you don't even need 3d software to generate them.
a) take any rendered/shaded image, drawn, painted, 3d, whatever [get 6 of them in this case] b) in photoshop or any resonable clone therof like gimp etc., do the equivalent of a filter/stylize/findEdges.
c) then desaturate the whole image [remove the color] to make it black and white... presto, architechtural line drawing, and it only takes like 2 seconds.
i was about to do some fancy line shaders in maya then i tried this out in photoshop just to see if it would work, was 'doh!' at how simple it was, so i switched to this method instead. if you run the techique on a 3d rendered image then render your originals with no textures/flat shaded prior to the findEdges for best results [unless the textures include architectural detail, in that case keep them its ok]. if you are drawing the image by hand, just draw it flat shaded with minimal extranious greeblies or shadows for best results.
i love fun projects like this which provide an opportuinity to try art tools i might not normally use, i always end up learning something new heh.

Thanks so much Svetlana. I had considered doing something similar, manually finding the edges and using a color fill on polygonal lasso selections for the depth/schematic areas, but your method in Adobe PS seems very sound. What I'm hoping for is that the orthographic views I did provide, 5 in total, will be sufficient for the semi-finals/voting. This is actually the first submission I did, and the only one that's appearing on entries today, the others are far more polished (I submitted four)and more en par with some of the professionally done schematics (the KITE and SINISTER come to mind); I even altered the mesh itself for the final view. Let me know what you think of the rough.

well done! and i like the story/explanation you wrote up for it.
if you wanted to enhance the realism of your color comp then watch the shadow/light direction of the bg [where the sun is and other major light sources] and attempt to match it in your 3d.
-BUT on the other hand- in a film production a DP would say, "if i knew there was a space ship there i woulda' moved a big light over so you could see it" so there is a broad artistic licence you can take with lighting direction as long as the end result looks good or is readable depending on what you want to acheive.
i think your flat shaded views are perfect to run a lineDetect on, and otherwise clean enough to be acceptable anyways, but i can't speak for ccp heh.

Thank you for the appraisal.
I really believe come down-time tonight, everyone who has been petitioning will be in the entry list, if not in the FB pool. It's a great deal of work for CCP to allocate the correct entries for everyone, and then process them by merit. All we can ask for is it to be resolved by the 8th of January. -Noro Aelkiota
