Facebook isn¦t a good idea... Yes, I have pleanty of contacts there, including those who will promote my things... but isn¦t right. In the previous contest you made non-players to design something that don¦t have a clue how it must be, now you like to non-players vote about something they don¦t understand? I¦m thinking seriously if it worth the 3-4 days effort for me, a industrial designer, to participate. The design should be by players, the vote should be by players, logged in their accounts.

anyone else having issues uploading pictures to the contest? I have tried and tried with different pictures and I keep getting the same error: "Please attach a GIF, PNG or JPG (max. 5MB) of your work"
It is a jpg and it is only 2.8mb. I have tried a PNG as well at 3.5mb and still the same error ;p
I tried different browsers, renaming, etc....no luck. I emailed the help email address but haven't heard from them yet and thats been 3 days ;p
So I'm out of ideas ;p Anyone else have any?

CCP WTF are you even reading this thread?
just tell us already so we start working! I don't want to waste 20+ hours on somethign just to have it beaten by someone who made a 3d model and just pressed render!
I want to follow the rules, but if you give us an example of whats ok and what isn't how are we suppose to follow them?

This is a silly question and probably a no, but for those of use with 3d programs, would it be possible to submit .obj files instead? |

I'm personally not terribly crazy about the Freeborn, but I've loved the Tsunami since I first saw it in the DA contest. That DOES need to be in EVE.

Looking at all these incredible designs I have the feeling that current in-game ship designs all need an important revamp cause I see them 'old'.

Quote: òEntrants will need to provide six (6) views of their entry (all in the same image) in order to provide accurate represantation of details, measurements, and shapes. The six views should be clean, line drawings/illustrations/schematics of the exterior hull of the starship. It is preferred that you include a fully shaded/colored view (a seventh view) of the starship in the entry as well.
For those of you questioning this; the rules are as stated above. To interpret them simply, they should be clean(free of smudges, cofee stains, and the like), line drawings(black on white); and either a drawing(concept of object), illustration(artistic line drawing including 7th view), or schematic(scaled drawing; with all images in the same scale. A 7th image would be exempt from the scale req.)
In other words. 3D Models, or images of 3D models; are not an acceptable entry. Only those drwan with a 2D CAD program, Paint program; or scanned and retouched Ink or Pencil drawings are acceptable.
Think of what you would use, to import and work from; in a 3D modeling program, for example.
Also, no gridlines, or axis lines, and no watermarks; just the perspectives, (left, right, front, top, bottom, and back), and a notation including the length of the longest axis, in an unused corner. A seventh view, would be on a seperate image.
I would also suggest, its likely to be more useful; should you make the entire image, of a size the would allow individual perspectives; to fall into the 1024x768 size range category. This will remove any issues with resizing, compression; and importing perspectives to a modeling program.
Clear?
Obviously, some of you may still want CCP to confirm something like this; but, I would expect any entry following these specifications to be acceptable.

Cassus, it would be good to consider for future use at least. Some of the ship designs I've seen in EVE would be a little in drawing form without using extra drawings for some of the intricate/hidden areas. An .obj file would be something for them to look at in 3d and get a good idea of what was going on. It'd be in scale and easy to work with.
BTW, there are free 3d art programs out there.

Edited by: Venusa on 05/12/2010 23:34:04 What the hell ?! replace the fail deviant art team with a Facebook mechanic isnt a really smart choice... If CCP is trying to get a new start with this contest , Facebook is the worst way to take.
Only EVE player should be able to vote, logged in their respective accounts. There is no reason to let people who dont give a to EVE to vote for the ships.
Please just change that and you'll have your perfect contest whith happy players

I acknowledge CCP trying to recover form the horrid Deviant Art debacle - but this post I support 10000%. What the hell does facebook have to do with eve other than trying to schmooze your way into a few new accounts. We aren't stupid you know.

In the previous contest you made non-players to design something that don¦t have a clue how it must be, now you like to non-players vote about something they don¦t understand?

I'm not certain gridlines are unacceptable; or even that axis lines are, likewise. It just may be though, and easier to bypass that; if you just edit them out prior to submission. I also think it's quite possible to 3D Model, with the right program; as 3D Max, and some others, have Views that are unaffected by perspective distortion. This is what I think they are trying to avoid, mostly; with regards to 3D Models, and the like. So flat Views from a 3D Program like 3DS Max, (with no wirefram of course), taken and edited in a 2D program; to remove background colors and simplify the view, would likely also be perfectly acceptable. The end result would of course have to look like a schematic drawing; but aside from that, I don't see why it couldn't be done.
Unfortunately, GMAX is downloading Fraps at the moment; so, I'm probably not going to post my own entry. It's been-literally--years since I sat down and drew a starship; and actually went to the effort to create schematic views for it, as has been requested. I'm not sure I could do it anymore; and, I recall exactly how much time went into it. A lot. I don't have that kind of time anymore, generally; and I'm not sure I want to make time for it. Particularly as I know a lot of you; will turn out much better work than I possibly could. GMAX would have made that easier I think; particularly as I've never successfully drawn an actual 7th view 3D is actually much easier to work with.

Originally by: luvmehard Excuse my ignorance, but...why was the DevianArt contest a failure?
The result wasn't a failure, but the actual process caused loads of problems and anger. Basicly there were loads of confusion about the rules and they weren't properly clarified during the competition. Later when the semi-finalists were announced, most of the popular and designs fitting well to EVE were not selected. Only a few were actually fit for EVE, rest were random scifi spaceships with even a LOL design that was in clear violation of the rules.
Naturally EVE players and the DA artist were ****ed, since both felt cheated by the judges who clearly didn't even bother to follow their own rules and ignored the part where these designs were supposed to fit in to an existing franchise. As a result the LOL design was dropped and it was replaced by the winning design. As you can see even taking taste in to account it was hard to swallow that the lol piece of crap could ever be considered better than the tornado and the tornado was just 1 of many great designs that were ignored in favor of weaker designs.

I see. Thank you for the clarification. It sure seems to have been an embarrassment.

Hello everyone,
To answer some of your questions:
Q. Are 3D models rendered in line view for the 6 views acceptable? A. Yes.
Q. Is having darkened areas to show depth acceptable? A. Yes, as long as you provide 6 clear views of the ship plus a color render.
Q. Are plain grayscale renders of a 3D model allowed? A. Yes, but the renders should show detail clearly.
Hope that helps. Spitfire Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online |
