HELEN Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 You can always create a sig with another mod. And no way, would it be egotistical of you to create one. I'd love to see it!

DrewDale Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 TBH I think it's difficult ... shame we can't do one for past mods; ASH would be easy ... lots of chrome and glass But how many people know who has been past mods? I wouldn't know and I'm sure a lot of the members around now wouldn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've always wondered about that rule. Good on you chimay12321 for taking control and showing these entrants who's da boss!

Lloyd Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Just out of curiosity. What percentage of Paint.net was used when KarasuFate & Chimay12321 made their entries in sotw#94 ? and where are the links to stocks used (rule #5) ?

chimay12321 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) @ welshy: Yes, maybe it was just a kind of a bold action... I've always been kinda annoyed by that rule... Don't you know that moment when you submit an entry and 5 minutes later a great idea for that image pops up in your mind?? I've had that half of the SOTW's I've entered... @ EER: I'm not trying to be a dictator of the sig making industry of PDN or something @ LLoyd: I used no other program than PDN.

Lloyd Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 So basically you used Paint.net to assemble all the components that are pre-made from elsewhere ? Not exactly a Paint.net competition entry then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimay12321 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well, there's no rule you may not use pre-made components. There's only a rule you may not use an outside image editor and I didn't do that. But of course rules can be changed if the community likes it that way. But you would ban out a whole branch of sig making that way, the branch of render sigs, especially the subcategory of C4D sigs or photo manipulation sigs. You may think it's different, but I think manipulating existing images in an editor (PDN) is just as much 'working with PDN' or a 'Paint.net sig' as making a sig from scratch only using PDN and your mouse. This is a subjective case and I'll listen to your feedback. If many people agree with you and they also want to set a limit to using pre-made images in the entries (maybe even prohibit the use of pre-made images), they should speak up and I'll change the rules according to your liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullbonz Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Not to heat up my frying pan again but I have to side with Lloyd on this. Rule #6 says it all.

Lloyd Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I do not have an issue or problem with anyone using things that are pre-made, I do have a problem with people pasting a stack of renders from everywhere and entering a competition with them. Some entries have used stocks, but they have used them in a creative way. It seems that under a new host this competition is turning into a "Rules will be broken when the host see's fit to do so" And for the record I did not state that I would ban C4D sigs or photo manipulation sigs. I have used stocks in the past. Edited November 12, 2013 by Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 For something close to 5 years I have been entering this comp (never won) under all of the aforementioned hosts & there have been many discussions on render sigs not really being art at all. It could also be argued that photography is not art either. PDN is an IMAGE EDITOR which also allows us to create images from scratch. Seriously, has anyone ever tried to put together a render sig that looks good? It is not as easy as it first appears. With any group there is 1. forming (which we have already done), 2. storming - where there are debate, disagreements & compromise, 3. norming - where there is now cohesion & collaboration to follow in a mutual direction 4. performing - where the group gets on with it & production & creativity are at their peak 5. adjourning - the conclusion & disbanding of the group. Stages 2 - 4 can be re-visited many times, as we have done in the past with the change of host/entrants. Looks like we are at stage 2. storming where we nut out some more ideas... This is quite normal & healthy. Citing the source of stock images should be mandatory as is the case in studies & other serious endeavours, doing otherwise is just stealing. If you do not know the source (as happens, then at least acknowledge it). Rules do change from comp to comp in regards to ":no stock allowed". I'm ok with folk changing their entry up to the voting date & I'm pretty sure we have had that in the past too. I'm ok with multiple entries from the same entrant but there does need to be a limit set at the start. Rule 6 is a bit of a new one & referred to Chaoscope, Apophysis, Terragen, Sculptris etc - programs that create images, not stock images. It has kind of lost its meaning a bit with successive hosts & is no longer the issue that it once was. Welshy, I see we are looking over each other's shoulders again Please let's give Chimay a chance. We have after all a few newish ones in this mix & we don't want to be biting them, do we? 2 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

chimay12321 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Well. Maybe I have a fine solution for the argument we're in here. You may use stocks as you please, but you MUST say what you used your stocks for (links would be pleasant to see) If you don't think 'pasting a stack of renders from everywhere and entering a competition with them' is really professional, you just don't vote on that sig in the voting round, that's what's the voting round for, choosing wich sig is 'best' or 'most professional' according to the community and that's what makes this a competition.

david.atwell Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Paint.NET is an image editor, not an image creator. As long as no copyrights are being violated, I see no reason that renders should not be used in the contest-at-large. Maybe there should be another contest for stock-free (100% PdN) entries?

"Don’t violate copyright laws with found images; links to source images would be courteous" @ Barbieq25 - Where in the brief does it mention that this comp is a render only comp?
