August 11th Challenge "Parfum de StrataCafe" - Outline
Alright, get your industrial designer's hat out. StrataCafe is branching out into exotic scents =) First thing you need to do is create a unique bottle for the subtle StrataCafe scent (think Sandalwood and roasted Jamaican Blue Mountain beans =), then you need to render the obligatory, lush ad photo. Like so:
Geoffrey Ross Perfume Shot
(My apologies to the photographer, I didn't get permission, I just thought he did good work, and it fit the theme.)
It's doesn't have to look anything like those, that's just an example. Feel free to embellish the surroundings. And, despite the name of the challenge, you don't really have to make StrataCafe perfume. Feel free to make "Telvanni Bug Musk" or whatever else strikes yer fancy.
As always, must be entirely done in Strata, and all effects must be done "in-camera" (no post-render Photoshop trickery).
Entries must be JPG files, but they can be any size. Just try to keep it reasonable. If it doesn't fit on anyone's screen, it doesn't leave a good impression.
Entries will be accepted until Sunday August 11th 2002. The judges will be considering the quality and creativity of the modelling, texturing and rendering.
Rules and Conditions
It does have to be fully modeled, textured and rendered in Strata3D (any flavour).
Entries will consist of a JPG file, and a screenshot of your model in Strata3D. The image cannot contain your name or email address anywhere on it, as the judging will be anonymous.
Judging will be done by a panel of 7 or more judges. I will select the panel after the close of the challenge from among community artists that did not enter the contest. The judges will not know the names of the contestants.
These rules may be subject to change without notice before the close of the contest.
Please, if you have any questions or suggestions regarding the contest, please email me at: michael@stratacafe.com
The benefits of the contest:
1) Winners will receive a charming banner to place on their website.
2) There will also be a smaller graphic, that looks a lot like the larger graphic, that will reside on the winners profile page on StrataCafe, forever and ever.
3) People can come to this page to get information on up and coming contests and view past winners (That would be you!)
4) You will receive the adoration of your friends and family, as well as most of the people who visit StrataCafe. (Note: Adoration not a guarantee.)
