Hey, all!  This month's render challenge is to utilize those primitives!  Use the primitives included in Poser to enhance, or even create your image :) 

Full rules are on the Challenge Page, linked at the top of this post :)

Hi,

We can use any other content as well as the primatives, right?  or no...

thanks,

Based on the image they show as an example on the page linked to, I'd say the answer to that is yes.

Oh, absolutely :)  But, for the challenge, you have to at least use one primitive as your focus (I used the sphere).  Or, if you choose, you can create your entire image out of primitives.

I've been trying, but I keep getting side tracked.

Wow. I had a lot of fun with this one. I've been thinking to do a piece with only primitives for a long time.

Good luck to all.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

From creating. I've started, but I haven't worked on it for more than 5 minutes at a time before my mind wanders and I start doing something else.

Wow! Some very nice and unique looking entries thus far. Not sure I want to enter what I'm working on, now! LOL

They are looking really cool, LOL.  My header for the challenge is VERY lame in comparison, LOL.

Hey, guys, just as a note....when you submit your entry, can you give me at least 6 hours to approve it?  There have been a few times this past week where people submitted two or three times while I was sleeping.  And, well, LOL, it's hard for me to approve entries in my sleep ;)  If, for any reason, your entry isn't approved, you'll get an email and a sitemail from me :)

What's the prize?

Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks angry, give it some love!

There is no prize. It's just something to do for fun. The winner gets the honour of knowing that their entry was tops.

Exactly.  These aren't contests (which have prizes), they're just challenges to push your creativity to see if you can meet the challenge ;)

I heard the prize was a 60 minute shopping spree in the store.

Jeni,

not a problem, cherokee69 ;)

Also, as an aside, guys, I'll be out of touch for a few days next week (Wednesday through Friday).  I'm getting married on Friday, and I have a TON of stuff to do in the meantime :)

Jeni,

Check your site mail.

Who's going to be doing the Judging / Voting on this? It said " Voting will take place June 6, 2008 - June 11, 2008. Voting will take place on the challenge page." but I haven't seen anything about that yet. Actually, there haven't been any posts since the 6th.

Thanks

Hey, all, sorry about the delay.  We had a minor housefire, and I've been stuck in a motel with no access (and mcd's wi-fi sucks!), but the challenge is up for voting!

Good luck to all to entered!

Oh, and to vote, click on the image thumb to open it, and click the Vote button at the bottom :)

Just curious as to where do we find out who has won the primitives contest? and where do we find the results?

Since it's been 3 days since voting ended and no word or post about it yet, you might have to send JenX a site mail to find out.

Yep, I know..nothing as of yet. I just send an email to contests@renderosity.com asking about it.

Since it's not an official Rosity contest, it doesn't seem to be that important to them.

Hey All,

JenX is having some issues with her ISP, so I'm going to help out here on the challenge and get this ball rolling.

Now, there were some entries that hadn't gotten approved yet but were in by the deadline, so I am going to leave the challenge voting open until Tuesday night {CST} to give those entries a chance at getting some votes.

I'll announce when the challenge voting has ended and a winner is chosen.

Thanks for your patience gang :)

Hey Jump,

You have one entry in there twice.

No problem.

".... there were some entries that hadn't gotten approved yet" ????

The latest image was posted on the 5th of June.
Then nothing looked at or approved for the next 3 weeks ??
Are you serious?

Well, it wouldn't have been 3 weeks because the contest deadline was on the 5th. It's the voting that hasn't been done.

"Now, there were some entries that hadn't gotten approved yet but were in by the deadline, so I am going to leave the challenge voting open until Tuesday night {CST} to give those entries a chance at getting some votes." 22 June

It seems to suggest not all entries are in yet.
But everyone has been voting away, but haven't seen all the challenge images???
How can you vote without all the images being in?
The idea is that you vote when you can judge all the images against each other.
But it appears there are some images we haven't even seen yet!
That the hell's going on here?

ps
An unkind person might suggest that with the hundreds of images pouring through Renderosity each day, only 19  people have bothered to take up this challenge.
I have participated in about 4 so far and each one have turned into farce. Someone's on holidays, someone's off sick, moving house, now a fire
I think I also said something like this before, "take these things seriously, or why should we Rendo?"
There may be no prize, but a bit of respect would be nice.

Absolutely...I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing things like this happening.

Ok, let me put this a different way, there were actually 2 images that had not been approved yet when I got here, which is why I let the voting go longer. All the images are in and have been since I posted that.

I'm sorry that you feel that anyone is being disrespectful, but these are real people, with real life issues, and it is unavoidable.

These challenges are done for fun, and if issues crop up that cannot be avoided,  and a challenge runs a little longer than expected, or the voting runs a little longer than expected..where's the harm in it really?? How can that be deemed as disrespectful??

I'll be announcing the winner tonight.

Do we get to see those 2 images? They aren't showing on the challenge page where everyone else posted their images.

Not any problem with anything you said but it would have been nice if someone would have let us know what was happening BEFORE people started asking.

Well, to be quite honest, the admins were not aware of the various challenges going on unattended until it was brought to our attention. {there are more going on than just this one} Once I heard of the problem I jumped on it to get it finished up, and only then learned that there were still images pending.

I myself do not have the time I used to to browse thru the various forums, nor do any of the other admins...we do however try to keep an eye out when we can, but some things do slip by us..we're only human and can only do so much at once ya know :laugh:

The last one that was posted on the 5th is the last one I released..and after thinking about it a bit further, I think it might have been that duplicate you told me about. {smacks self}

That only leaves 1 image in pending, and that one is not going to make it out it looks like..it doesn't conform to the challenge rules, and I have actually been waiting on an edit from the entrant...so if it doesn't make it in by tonight then all the images are posted that are going to be posted to vote on.

I'll probably give it until midnight and then announce the winner.

OK, cool.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about that images that was shown twice.

Hey, Jumpstartme,

Got it, and am checking as we speak ;)

Where I work we know who is responsible for what.
We don't just stumble across problems.
Surely  it's someone's job is to run the challenges?
It' pretty simple really, you take the submissions, you look at them and approve them, then close the challenge.
My 13 year old daughter could do this in the dark.
What is so complex about running this type of thing! A chook raffle.
The last, the very last I'm just not going to bother anymore. The whole thing's  become a joke.
Who is your supervisor?

This is not a life or death matter people, lighten up a little please.  The winner will be announced when he or she is chosen and not before..

Personally I get into these things just for the fun of being a participant, not for the "glory" of winning..  lol

Good luck to all who entered, and may the best pixel jockey "Win!!!"   ;o)

M

You know, I can't believe how upset people are getting because the "winner" hasn't been announced.

This is not a real contest. There is no prize involved other than the title of "winning image" based on a vote.

Who cares if it takes longer to get the results.  For crying out loud, Jen had a house fire. Doesn't that mean anything to anyone? Jumpy came in and picked up the ball, but give the girls a break.  Jumpy has other resonsibilities other than this forum now, plus she has a life to live too.

This is nothing to get your nose bent out of shape over, or you undies tied up in knotts about.

Just be patient. The winner will be announced when the winner is announced.

You aren't out of anything but a bit of time, and not even that because you actually spent the time doing something productive and made an image.  If anything it created an excuse to give you a creative spark.

So please, stop jumping all over people about this, and don't take your ball and go home because the announcement is late in coming.

These mini challenges are something fun for the forum and not to be taken seriously. If people give the staff a hard time, these challenges won't be done and then we all miss out.

And that is the type of attitude that everyone should have. Cudos!

Thanks Acadia and Marcus for the understanding, and for realizing that these challenges are for fun and not to be taken so seriously. 

@Ashley

If you are really that upset over a late coming winning announcement to a challenge, you are more than welcome to contact StaceyG@renderosity.com.

Where I come from, a challenge takes a back burner to a housefire any day.

The announcement will come just as soon as we can get it done :)

At all, good luck everyone!
