I hadn't seen it. It's always good to participate in challenges to get the juices flowing. Thanks for the link.
it doesn't say you have to use Poser characters.

Thanks for the heads-up, SSailor. Which my artform was up to scratch: jeez, those artists are awesome!

Quote - Thanks for the heads up. Very cool..
Also, had to add
"8/23-8/29: Best Woman in a Temple with a Sword or Fairy Image"
I laughed to myself when reading this. :lol:
It's not just me, then. Wonder if those who put it together bit the tongues in their cheeks at some point... :biggrin:

A bit more info here, such as which is the right text field to use on the submission form (I used the wrong one), and the fact that you can only submit one entry per theme (I submitted two), that postwork is allowed, and that the maximum size isn't in fact 800 pixels on the short edge....Wish I'd seen this page earlier!

The size is 800 pixels on the shortest side. I submitted an image 1024x768. That's within guidelines.
It says so here:
Quote - Artwork Submission Specification(s):
Images must be JPEG/JPG format (or compressed into a .zip archive), 800 pixels on the shortest side, maximum 80MB file size. Animation formats accepted are SWF MOV MP3 MP4 WMV, minimum 320 pixels on shortest side, maximum 80MB file size (or they can be compressed into a .zip archive).

Postwork is allowed. Image sizes: 800 pixels is the minimum. As far as max size, you can upload a file up to 80 MB in a zip file. And it’s one image per person per theme. Happy posing!

Grrrr! Now I have to find a way to add pixels!!! :( But I will!!!
Where are the images submitted? Someone said there is a link to the submissions. I don't see it.

Well, I left a message on their blog asking if I can still enter with my newest image that is the correct size, despite my blunders! LOL

Very nice! There are others in there much better than mine, but I decided to take a chance. I figure you can't win if you don't enter. But if they base it mostly on lighting, I think I stand a chance! So far as composition goes, there are much more imaginative images entered.
I resubmitted mine....again....so hopefully I got it right this time! LOL
I ended up adding a frame to mine in order to increase pixel size. I hope they don't think it's too "cheesy". I really didn't want a frame around it though. But I couldn't get it the height increased otherwise, at least not by as many pixels as I needed without it.

I entered the fairy one, I am not very good with portrait type renders. :(
I like this one of Bettine www.facebook.com/photo.php
While I like the alien queen one, it was done in zbrush and the tentacles added in pw. So I am not real sure on that one. But thats my opinion.

They rejected my entry, even though the last one was within the size guidelines:
Quote - Thank you for submitting your artwork, entitled Zana. We really appreciate your work and your interest, but unfortunately, at this time, we have decided not to include this piece in our online and tradeshow marketing materials. Please do not be discouraged. We receive many excellent submissions, and due to the high volume, are unable to accept them all.
Since when is there a limit as to the number of people who can enter a contest?! It doesn't say anything about a maximum number of entries!!!
That's the last time I waste my time entering, or trying to enter one of their contests!!

I don't think they rejected you from the competition, they just declined to use it in marketing material.
ISTR that the instructions said to specify on the submission that an image was for the competition, so as the form they linked is the same one they have people use to submitimages in general, they are probably just assessing all images using their standard process.

I did indicate that the entry was for this weeks faces contest. There was no specific "comment field" to enter that, so I put it at the top of the programs comment space, and below that the program I used.

Maybe it will still show up Acadia. I wrote the note about the entry in the field Additional Credit,
Figures or Content Shown for the first week and from what I see it shows in their gallery. My entry for the second week hasn't shown up yet so maybe they still haven't updated with all the entries.
quoting from Smith Micro contest rules ' we’re looking for the best use of Poser’s strengths. (Hint: lighting is key!) " - I can't believe Paul Francis didn't win . . .

No, mine won't show up. The email said it was rejected.
I'm royally ticked. I entered my Zana image

I'll never be entering one of their contests again, and I'll be sure to tell people of my experience when I see future contests announced! What a rip off!!

The blog says the deadline is tomorrow *8/30-9/5: Best “Faces of Poser” Portrait/Headshot Image
*I really think there must have been some misunderstanding, you should enter it again. In the field where you list any other items used I just say it's an entry for the blog contest and then copy the above quote which gives date and theme. They can't reject a contest entry due to too many submissions - that's preposterous and would probably render their contest void.
Please try again Acadia and best of luck to you!
What I don't understand is if these are the entries: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=123244&id=106113697478
If so, then Tempesta 3D has entered like 10 images or something to that effect and so have several others. If not, then why is titled the same as the contest? I got an email that mine was accepted but it's not on there so maybe they were flooded by the multiple entries?
This has got to be one of the most confusing contests I've ever seen and I don't even want to think about the judging :)
Ok, I'll give it another go. I have to run out the door now though. So I'll resubmit it this afternoon and put the comment in the other box.
I'll likely not win, but I don't stand a chance unless I enter.
If I don't win, I'll probably buy Poser 8 because Poser 6 is rapidly becoming obsolete so far as beta test needs go. Vendors shouldn't have to support every version of Poser :) except for perhaps the last 2, which is 7, 8 and pro

I think the "Faces of Poser" page which that link takes you to is a long-standing Facebook gallery of Poser images - for instance the one they use as the promo/box art for Poser Pro 2010 is in there - and they've titled it "Faces of Poser"; there is a note at the bottom which says it was last updated 10 months ago. The fact that they've also titled the theme of this week's competition as "Faces of Poser" might be the source of the confusion. I don't think they've posted the entries for the second week yet, like they did with the first week's. I'm probably wrong though, I usually am....!

Acadia - There must be some confusion - We got your week #2 entry multiple times, so it is possible you received a rejection notice for one of the duplicates, but I clearly saw your entry in the pool to be judged for this week, so please don't worry. Did you not also receive a notice that your image was accepted? I see that it has been approved 3 different times:

We only announced the winners for the Week 1 contest, and it appears you have entered week 2, which only closed on Sunday and hasn't been judged/announced yet. There are 5 weeks of contests with different themes.
***This is the type of thing where it's good to ask a question on the blog itself, rather than wondering over here, as our blogger does not read the forums.

Correct - We have been collecting "Faces of Poser" for quite some time, and the Facebook gallery is unrelated to the current blog contest, as you can see by the very old upload dates - you can see these same images on deviantART here: http://smithmicro.deviantart.com/gallery/#Faces-of-Poser. We have not posted the entries for the current week contest, and will not do so each week until the contest closes and the winner is announced.
We also collect our favorite DA faces of Poser that have not been submitted as gallery images here, in case you want to browse more awesome art: http://smithmicro.deviantart.com/favourites/#Faces-of-Poser

I was really confused!!! LOL
My entry is there now. So all is good! Sorry for having spammed you! :)
I did ask over at the blog, but no one answered, and then it appeared as though it was locked and I didn't see a way to enter another question after I got the rejection email.

Congrats to the winners! Interesting choices given the huge hint was "lighting". One is a good example of light and reflection. The other one just falls flat to me, so far as lighting goes.

I hope they got my entry okay. I was pretty happy with the results.
Good luck!!!
