Lets keep this thread clean! Post here only your questions about the contest;
The entries must be made in this thread: Splash Screen contest (Apr/2019) - Entries

So... we cannot render the 3D object or scene with an external renderer or can we ?

Yes you can. Maybe I should to rewrite that red part.

We require the project (scene) to be done using Wings3D - that is why we require a screenshot; But, you can render it outside Wings3D since it doesn't have a native render - although we would to appreciate the use of PBR materials. :-)

What we wouldn't to avoid is elements created by other software than Wings3D. If you go to Blender, Maya, 3DS, ... , then use just the render engine. Don't go to Sculptris, ZBrush, .. to sculpt.


If someone has any doubt, just ask here.

Hi micheus, nice idea!

so if I got you correctly we can submit as many entries as we want, right? Do the submission need to be textured?

Yes, as many as you want, but avoid to entry variations of the same scene (it's no forbidden, but it would be nice the community have different options to chose ).

About textures, it's not mandatory. We know we can see nice works without them.
The community will decide which image will be used in the next splash screen, then you need to get their attention.

Okay, thank you for your answers

It looks like it's a better idea I show how the splash screen will looks like. Here the prototype I made using Gimp:


So, pay attention to the dimensions because you work should to look good in that size we need.

can I add my logo in any part of the model?
can I add my email or web address on the model?

something like: marcone.pl (hello@marcone.pl)

Sure you can do something like this. The credit for the image will always be yours.
Just try to make it proportional to the image (the attention must to be on the image) and put in a corner on the bottom.
