Hi TinaI stop entering animations at Renderosity contest, back this fall after I spent 3 months rendring for a Halloween contest to find out it wouldn't fit your 800 x800 ~ 10 mb rules.
Renderosity contest rules are to resictive to enter my animation.. I found I have better chance at being able to submit to contests. at Deviantart, and at Indie films so that where I been putting my efforts. The prizes are not at good as renderosisty, But the artist gets more exposure to their work. Not to mention that being able to use Third party video services to upload large video files. such as Daily motion or Youtube make it a big plus. because after the contest is over the animation can still be viewed later after the contest is over on my video services. There is a lot of render time and work into creating animation that is worth watching. to have it watched for a month or so and then it gets moth-balled.
Even my web cartoons are greater than 50 MB , thats why I stop making animations for constest here renderosity.
The contest rules restrict anything that I could do of quailty. just to make one scene in AVI or MOV would be more than the 50 MB allowed , most of my animations are in the 4 to 5 gig byte range, I made a 1080 HD animation for Halloween and it was refused because of the files size.
So because it takes me 2 -6 months to create a fairly good animation because of the render time involed . its not worth it to me at least to enter animation into these contest here anymore. Though I already have subbitted a 800 x 800 still graphic.
so maybe next year you guys might think of a better way for animation contest to be displayed. so we can subbit bigger HD files sizes.
Just in case any you artist want to know the animation guidelines are.
If you like to see the types of HD animations I create you can watch them here.
