Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Galemp on September 20, 2003, 05:49:22 pm: Most of you know about the Freespace/HLP store at CafePress that I manage. (Check my signature.) Well, they now have avaliable 2004 wall calendars! I'm looking for 13 renders to print on this calendar that we can all buy. :)

We need one cover and a render for each month. Trimmed it will be 11 x 8.5 inches (the size of a normal sheet of paper) but you should give it a 1/4 inch bleed on each side. DPI can be from 150-300, which makes the final render resolution 1725 x 1350 pixels.

If you're going to post it here please make sure it's scaled down. :nervous: Renders for which you sill have the original source are preferred since you can re-render them at a higher resolution.

Post by: Galemp on September 21, 2003, 03:37:11 am: It could very well make the cut, so long as you add the bump, self-illumination, and specular maps.

Post by: Setekh on October 18, 2003, 12:21:11 am: I can do your whole calendar if you can wait till November. ;) When are the submissions due? Oh, and if you can put up with my super-low-resolution renders from the Array, you're welcome to take any of those. :)
Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Galemp on October 18, 2003, 12:57:20 am: woo! A Steak calendar! Maybe you could render using your favorite community mods...

Well, if we can have them by December that'll let us order and have them arrive for New Year's.
Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Setekh on October 18, 2003, 01:21:20 am: Dude, they're all my favourite. ;) That said, I would rather that we have renders from everyone, but if I end up being the main contributor, we'll keep an Array Calendar as the backup plan. ;)

Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 18, 2003, 02:29:36 am: I'll do a few renders.

Post by: Razor on October 18, 2003, 06:04:16 am: Hey I can contribute. Here are som of my renders. I have resized them all to the resolution you requested.

This is the render of the banshee I made some time ago, but I still like it.

This one was made in June

Here's the improved version of the render I made last week.

Everyone remembers this one:

If you see red x you must copy paste the renders or it is because the site is temporarely down.

Can someone tell me where I can make a web-page that would be relyable and not show red x?

Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Galemp on October 18, 2003, 02:16:03 pm: LVLSHOT only scales the appearance of the image down; right now you're forcing everyone to download half a gigabyte of images.

Rescale them to 800x600, then post them.

Post by: Razor on October 18, 2003, 03:13:09 pm: Ok I just left the links. Happy?
Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Taristin on October 18, 2003, 03:25:57 pm: No. That's not what he means. When they click the link to see it they have to DL the whole image... Making it smaller makes it easier for 56kers and the like to get it.

Get it?

Post by: Galemp on October 18, 2003, 07:40:30 pm: In a word: thumbnail.

Ok Ok but I can't bother to do it right now. Sorry. :p Besides, you can't see all the necessery details on a low res. That's why people do renders in AT LEAST 1024*768.

Post by: kasperl on October 19, 2003, 09:24:54 am: ok, aside from all the comotion caused by the forced dl'ng of some obscenely large pictures, where does the money from the store go?
Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Sandwich on October 19, 2003, 03:52:14 pm: AFAIK it goes to CafePress - they simply allow people to invent product lines.
Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: Setekh on October 20, 2003, 01:35:30 am: Indeed. You can set higher prices manually and reap the profits, but I think GE has them set at the minimum price (ie. no profit except to Cafepress).
Title: HLP 2004 Wall Calendar
Post by: kasperl on October 20, 2003, 03:27:21 am: aha, ok.

and has someone already purchased something from this shop?

Post by: Taristin on October 20, 2003, 07:12:18 am: I like the HoL sweatshirt, but wouldn't buy it...

It's not hard, but would only work for attachments and files hosted on the dynamic server.
