It's all from X3. (Split Chimera and Paranid Medusa, some astronauts, the M1/trading station hangar bay and some lights)

Ok Abyss, ready to jump in my private jet?, we'll nip over to Syklon's
place & have some surf'n'turf at the local Hilton, don't forget to bring the Egosoft credit card :D

But seriously now...
Is this rendered category (or any other) supposed to have just X3
content, or does anything go?

Hey just give me a shout. Or you could always send the private jet to me, save you the hassle of international flight :D

I'd say X-Universe related content. But it doesn’t have to have actual models from X3...
In fact it might be good to specify if the models were created by the author, as opposed to taken from the game.

Same applies to 2D art and photoshops.

ok, please review the categories.

This is what the second contest is going to have.
I am thinking I'll create a new thread for that around this weekend... or earlier.

There are now two main categories divided into total of 8 subcategories.
As before, lets post 1 entry per subcategory (per author).
If you post more, they'll just be non-contest entries - which is fine too.


Screenshots:
Ships
- cool screenshots of ships
Sector
- pretty and interesting looking sectors
Combat
- right shot at the right moment
Station / complex
- stations and complexes
Cinematic (for lack of better word)
- something that can go along with a short story

Digital art:
- any theme: character, ship, other, as long as it's related to X Universe (not specifically X3).
3d art
- 3D art with original models or borrowed from the X games
- please specify if models are original
2d art / paintings
- any media (other than 3D modelers)
Collages
- collages, modified or photoshoped images. Different from 2D or 3D art due to borrowed images from X games.
- please specify if a significant part of an image is an original art


use your best judgment for any entry/image in the grey area :)

A new thread doesn't have to mean that the next contest will start then. :P

hehe alright :)
I'll post the new contest in a new thread around this weekend.

Forgot to talk about deadlines
Is one week too short?... I am thinking perhaps 2? And a couple days for judging after that.

Well, two weeks should be fine, plus I think another week at least for judging....in the italian contest we had much longer times (more than a month for the posting, and another for judging), but the competition was fainter there :wink:

Am I too late for the first competition ??

Though I'd share some bright lights of my own :
--- 'Centaur in Trouble' (no mods, just laser towers, well it's his own fault trying to hunt my KM3 down :))
