Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 13 6:58 am)
I haven't been around for a while - got REALLY busy at work so my time's very limited. Been that way since before the summer, so I haven't been doing any of the Vue contests.
I don't need prizes - just the time. Sorry this seems to be declining - they're a lot of fun and good practice.
And yeah - when I DO have time to breeze the forums, it feels more and more like the Vue Forum is turning into a complain-fest. I don't get it, I love Vue - so I'm just gonna continue to use it as a finishing app with custom stuff I've made in XSI and C4D.
-Lew
Bernie - thanks for the image. I hope it will be the first of a series of interesting contributions. I may even participate if I find time.
Lew - the challenges are here to provide an occasion to practice Vue and have fun. I know exactly what you mean about time. Complaints come and go.... there are still a lot of people interested in Vue reading the forum :)
Does it have to be a new image or can it be something from our gallery that seems to fit the subject?
Being that the artist will be known anyhow if we are posting the entries to the forum, I dont see any reason why it should be new images only. Might boost participation if we dont have to drop what we're doing to create a special image for the challenge.

or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not
wish to paint, the things which already have an
existence."

ArtPear - New images would be preferable but I am fine with anyone sharing something they already posted as long as it fits the theme. It could be a good occasion to share tips or ideas around the theme anyway.

..so beware little girl! Do you want to dream? do you want to wish? A daydream may be a nightmare, A secret wish may become a curse. How would you know little girl, Palace or a prison, Bat or a butterfly? Is the dragon friend or foe, Why does the owl look the other way?In this image the shadows play as big a role as the items/creatures that cast them.
Just to highlight a few points:

"Sometimes you're better off being in the dark"Figures I'd forget about this challenge and still manage to come up with something just doodling for variety - my subconscious is much cleverer than I.
Please be gentle :)

Very nice.Don't forget to participate to the selection of the next theme in the attached thread. Two ideas are already there. I will announce the next theme out of the suggested ideas unless there is a theme that agrees with everybody.

There is a slight caustic gel on some of the lights but I couldn't get it to look decent so I took most of 'em off (you can see the beams in the volumetrics)

I will think of a way to vote for a winner by the end of the month using a forum Poll.
I don't know what the vote pages look like as i've never voted on a contest yet but perhaps asking one of the coders for renderosity.com to create us a custom page with the vote options below each picture once you click on the image you want to view?

I have been thinking a lot about how challenge participation has been declining for the past few months. A big part of that is coming from real life interruptions on my side, but even with additional help, things have been really slow on the challenge side of the forum.
The old challenge page and rules were good when there was a lot of participation. Time to try something else.
So... I decided to take a more relaxed approach to challenges for a while and go back to sharing challenge images in the forum directly. I will think of a way to vote for a winner by the end of the month using a forum Poll.
The Vue challenge theme for October is : Painting with Light.
Create a picture where lighting plays a central role in telling a story. Think about the shadow of a knife behind the shower curtain in Psycho for example.
Share your picture in this forum thread. There is only one size restriction - if your picture is so big it messes up the formatting of the thread, I will reduce it to fix a normal size on the page.
Good luck everybody.
