Total Confusion over Final Pose vs. Beauty Shot

[Torokun]

Winning Pose Shot
- Dimensions: 800w x 900h pixels - 200k file size
- This image can only have "One" pose of your character. No multiple shots or different angles. Just one! Additionally, you must include a stand but you can not include a large background scene. Example, your character can rest on a pedestal, but he can "not" have a war scene with explosions and background characters behind him.

Beauty shot of your character
- Dimensions: 800w x 900h pixels - 200k file size
- Feel free to put multiple angles of your character or just one big version or your character on this page. You can include background characters, environments, effects.. basically, anything goes here.

I thought this was the rule.

According to responds posted on this page, I am getting a conflicting message.

Can you please clarify?

Thank you.

yup, those are the rules.

For the winning pose shot, you can have an elaborate pedestal, but you can't have a war scene, buildings, fighter planes etc behind him (these are not directly on the pedestal so you can't have them). You can have dead ashen bodies, rubble, and what not as long as it lies on the pedestal.

For the beauty shot, anything goes. You can do whatever you want.

Hope this helps:)

Let me just double check with you. Because this is the message I got from BiG ToE-3DT...

for your winning pose, you can do whatever you want.

The beauty shots are more of a collage of images to show off your model.

You can always go to the Dom War site and look at last years entries to see what I mean.

It seems like there is some kind of misunderstanding among the administrators of the forum...

So according to the current rule that you are pointing out (and I copied), I find it funny that it is okay to put a backdrop image with some level of texture/image behind the character. Grey gradation I understand...

Shouldn't that be strictly restricted to Beauty shots?

You are going to have submissions for the final pose that are very inconsistant and hard to judge if some have grey background and some have colored background.

[FredH]

If you look at last year's entries, the two fishies had their winning pose shot under the sea. So having a moderate gradient, or even a wall with simple textures on it is alright. Artling is a prime example of the absolute maximum you can have on your winning pose shot.


For the beauty render, it's simple, anything is allowed. Just make it pretty.

I am not sure where the mix up came from. I thought the rules were pretty clear:uhh:

that's what I thought too...

Scared me for a sec... I thought we had to change a lot of things...

Phew~!

This kinda had me confused also Fred, especially down to the last minute right before the deadline ( I was not in my right mind ). So does this disqualify a few people that have elaboarte scenes in there winning shot? Just curious

[FredH]

I looked over most of the entries and I didn't find any worth disqualifying. Nobody put a war in the background and nobody put buildings or anything big. There were a few empty space scene backgrounds, raging fires, and even starlit and stormy nights, but these are all ok.

For the pedestal, there were a few very elaborate floors, but these were more or less ok too.

All'n'all, everyone is in:D I am glad there were no real abusers to the rules.
