Hey all!
What can I say? Axem's done himself proud running the contest for a long time now.
I'm glad for the chance to give him a break from it - this should be fun!
For January's theme... I was initially thinking we'd do a free month, but we did that just now. So the theme is...
fireworks! Give us a light show! It doesn't have to be literal fireworks, either - rainbow beamz, colorful explosions, ships with way too many glowpoints, even vivid nebulas! Something colorful and celebratory, let's think New Year people.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The rules are:
1: No HUD! (Jump nodes are ok though!)
2: Images must be presented as they would be as seen with only the FSO engine rendering the image. Remember that these entries help to show off what the engine can do for new players! So that means no after the fact photoshopping (except for cropping), and no external shader programs (reshade and the like). No lens flares, contrast shifts, colorizers, etc.
3: Max 3 entries per person!
4: Again, these screenshots are a way to promote Freespace and the FSO Engine - let's keep it in good taste.
Use the screencap script to help you take that perfect shot! (do we need to update the screencap script?)
