I can't find anything about copyright.

Do we need to prove we are the copyright holders for all source images or other
resources used, including programs?

Or are wee all fine using google images for material? If so, how far from the source
image must it be manipulated etc.?

Are you happy for us to leave our own copyright marks on the images?

Do you accept entries that are copyrighted by us, the creator at all?

Is it for commercial use?

Use your best judgment, images submitted become the property of Subsim.com and Subsim retains rights to full and exclusive use of the art. This is how I upgrade the website graphics. It's like a raffle. you submit art, I give out prizes. If you win the prizes, they are all yours, I won't ask to borrow them back :)

thanks!

Sorry to be awkward, but....

"images submitted become the property of Subsim.com and Subsim retains rights
to full and exclusive use of the art."

So if I submit something, I won't then be able to display it elsewhere or otherwise
use it without subsim's permission?
I'm not to chuffed about that.
You won't accept entries that are Open Source and free to use by all?

Your call of course.

[Dowly]

Looking at the past entries... I think I let the pro's do it. :oops:

Uh, what? You are one of the pros, Dowly. Unless someone else has highjacked your forum account! :ping:

Fair questions, Letum. I have to add that condition to avoid possible (but not likely) misunderstandings or conflicts. I "retain the right" but I would certainly be open-minded about allowing the use of submitted material otherwise. To keep Subsim looking good, I routinely hire artists, request materials from Subsim members, and often compensate those who help me with a stipend or swag their help. This contest will be fun and generate some great art, and someone will win some cool stuff and recognition.

I will accept art using Open Source material, you decide what to create, in the end I will have to decide if I feel comfortable using it. For example, if someone makes a wallpaper that is basically the Das Boot DVD cover with some changes, I probably won't use it.

Looking forward to what you have in mind, Letum! :yep:

thanks
Neal

I think you misunderstand me. Let me explain in detail.

Everything I make and release, I release "open source".
I'm gonna make a few wallpapers because I enjoy that kind of thing, but I will only
release them as open source works under creative commons.

That means no one will have "exclusive use of the art."
and everyone will have "full [..] use of the art".

Weather this is acceptable to you, or not, I will finish my wallpapers and post them,
you will be free to use them as you wish, but not exclusively free to use them.

I refuse to do things any other way, since a magazine demanded that I remove
images that I had made from my online portfolio because I had given them all
rights. :shifty:
Eventually they agreed, but the whole affair was not nice.

I know you wouldn't do something like that, but it is a matter of principle for me.



Anyway, that's just to clear, I'll get image making now. ;)

[AVGWarhawk]

Should we post them here? How many can we enter?

[Onkel Neal]

Send as many as you want. If you send more than 10 good ones, you'll get something from the prize chest for sure!:yep:


Screenshots are acceptable if the quality is good and there are no (or few) game interface toolbars showing.

Image must be minimum 1024x786 size; larger is better and best size is around 1650x1250 but do not damage the image clarity to make it larger.

Image must be saved as a bmp or png and in a zip file, sent to
2008 SUBSIM Wallpaper contest

Deadline is March 1, 2008

Send here: subsim@subsim.com (subsim@subsim.com) and enter 2008 SUBSIM Wallpaper contest in the subject, please.

[Onkel Neal]

I've gotten a few. Usually I see a few at first, then after a couple weeks, more show up.

EDIT: So, Dan. How many times did you read the instructions?


Recommended subject matter includes Silent Hunter 4 & 3, Dangerous Waters/Sub Command, Pirate games, Shells of Fury, and other recent subsims; sailing ships, subs, naval engagements.

Agreed, Neal needs to add whether ALL aspects of Subsim can be included.

The way I read it, is that Neal is looking for wallpaper or logos that will promote Subsim, or at least will encompass what Subsim has to offer. Maybe he forgot that he has a flight sim section (and Tank section for that matter):hmm:.

BTW, he needs to clarify very quickly.;)

Sorry for OT.

[Dowly]

Oh, one question. Can I submit my entry to other competitions on other sites aswell, or does my entry come subsim property as soon as I submit it? What I'm thinking here is the Ubisoft's monthly screenshot competition which doesnt claim the winners as their's nor use them as their property AFAIK. :hmm:

EDIT: nevermind, I use a earlier version for the other competition. :)

[Letum]

I'll post my wallpaper here to avoid any ownership confusions.

Anyone is free to use or change it in any way as long as it and a anything made from it
credits me and is still free for anyone to use in any way. :D

[Letum]

:nope: No one has been credited.
That's the kind of thing I was worried about.

Could you credit the authors? At least so we can congratulate them.

You may have no obligation to, but it would be nice for us to know and them to be credited.

[AVGWarhawk]

Wow! These are super nice. I have to get back to work on these!!!

[Iceman]

The submissions I have sent in were done in a few hrs...I am trying to get ya an assortment to look thru...ideas,suggestions,comments are always very valuable to an artist...you, Subsim, is the client so we are at your command....I move in cycles thru things...games,Xbox,outdoor activites and swing back around to the graphic programs once ever so often....the challenge has sparked new intrest in me so I will continue to send things your way until you say enough. :)

Some of the judges' comments:


1.) Number 9. This picture says so much by saying so little. This is what a sailor loves. Not just a warship, but also the sea. The way the U-boat and the sea are complementing each other is wonderful. You know the purpose of the vessel: war, but you are also given the felling of beauty as she rides the waves. This is a great picture.

2.) Number 3. The creativity in this work is amazing. The picture works. The contrast of the parchment look and the color of the U-boat is a natural draw for the eye.

3.) Number 13. Wonderful contrast and somewhat haunting. There is subtle action that asks what is happening? Is the U-boat attacking or being attacked? The use of the subtle colors is perfect. This is one I would gladly hang on my wall.

4.) Number 5. Wow! The use of light is terrific. This is a picture that makes you almost feel the "wasserbomb" detonating. This picture also leaves the story open and the viewer can finish it anyway they want. Did the U-boat survive, or was this the hot that sent the boat and her crew to the bottom? Very well proportioned and well thought out.

#20: The design, especially the color, seems surreal and cold. The overall effect - the bubbling makes it seem real and alive, calling attention to the victory and death, which I see as the themes.

#4: The design is bright and clear. You could call it captivating since I spent two minutes trying to make out the shape of the sinking ship. I was drawn in by the submarine so much that I needed to know its story by understanding the full picture. I see the theme here of efficient victory. Submarine moves in, kills, and moves out. Business as usual.

#18. The design is peaceful. I guess you could say the theme is peace, calmness, or serenity. The detail is excellent. I thought it was a photograph at first.

#7 - Nice theme, balance, and of course, original artwork. I can tell this was made professionally.

# 10 - A true render, the only one in the batch, Neal, very well done and very detailed.

Entry #11 - Inventive juxtaposition of stylized gauges against a killer screenshot




Stay tuned for the full results and the winnahs, soon.

[Iceman]

Is it possible to see all the entrys?...If you dont have the room I would be happy to upload them to my webspace so we could see them all....just email them all to me if you want.Sorry couldn't get you more from me but I get sidetracked easily. :)
I am dying to see the entrys....as a limited artist myself. I do not know if you realize or not ,but it looks like the same exact sub model used in most of the pics...the entrys dont look all that different from each other....what a critic I know but just an observation. :)

7,11 and 19 are my pics...not my "Pictures" by my favorites...good work.

[fatty]

Interestingly, #17 can also be found right here. (http://visualparadox.com/wallpapers/dangerouswaters.htm) Not that I'd accuse anyone of anything, but I knew I'd seen that picture before.

I was just about to post the same thing. I get my wallpaper from that site, so ive seen Entry 17 about a dozen times before.

[Abd_von_Mumit]

My very favourite entry is 8th - the lonely life boat drifting in the heavy mist. To say the truth, it's the only one that struck me immediately, on sight. The only one that elicited what I feel is true about fighting in an iron coffin:

loneliness

sadness

water

horror

slow death

cold

stealth and surprise.


I love the way mist mixes with sea water. I like the light. The picture is unreal, fantasctic, makes you to imagine what's below and behind, "turns on your mind". Nothing is straightforward clear - nor what happened just minutes before, nor what's next to come.

This picture is the only that stopped me for a long while and made me stare at it. In fact I still do.

[Iceman]

Welp...I went ahead and put mine on my site...I like what I did. :)

Very nice!:up: Is the water from maya and the mist around the boat photoshoped?...great job.

[Letum]

Very nice!:up: Is the water from maya and the mist around the boat
photoshoped?...great job.
Nah, the water is from 3DS's Dreamscape plugin and all the water spray/mist is from a perticle
system rigged to be animated.
The water (should) flow off the decks and outer hull holes every time the boat
reaches
a certian degree of rotation (Dreamscape dynamicaly moves the boat in the water,
but the particle controlors are my own).

The only photoshopping done here is a little sharpening of the water spray at the
front and a little bluring of the deck wash as well as a little extre detail in the sky.

I am going to work on the particle system some more to get it looking right as well
as the sky.

With a bit of luck it will form part of a short animation (There is a small clip of
another bit of it in my sig.).

And thankyou very much.

Yes, I failed to get this done over the weekend. Comcast is partly to blame, nothing like checking your e-mail and finding 40 messages stuck in the inbox and no idea why :x

Ok, soon. Really.

Congrats to Christian Zaber and the runners-up. :up:

Gee..I won something this time. Unlike the 2002 contest. :lol:

I'm just glad I got to work a representation of the Pacific Theater in there somewhere. The competition really was a wolfpack.

Congratulations to the winner and runners-up.

But...my real amazement is at the bona-fides of the judges. Congratulations to Neal for rounding up that stellar group!:rock:
