RollCanvas IV (now finished) :: Discussion Thread

[Adobemedia]

I just checked out the Flash version sweet people that is just sweet. Damn good work n there.

No kidding!

[ctranter]

I'd like to give this a whirl.

[pea3698]

yeah baby! this is going to be bad arse.

[TheWaste]

hold on, whats this about multiple rows EVP? I cant see it anywhere in the rules?
???

[carly1979]

NOTE: As long as this goes smoothly, I am thinking about running this twice, in two rows. The second round will be even harder (except for the first person on round 2) as you will have to match the leave as well as the bottom of the image above yours.

[gerbick]

We need to get the file format down ahead of time this year so my image isnt the first to look like crap in the canvas lol.

I think everybody should use PNG-24 and send that to EVP. Bigger filesize but he can crunch it down to an uniform jpg using his monitor/RGB settings.

[1stbite]

sounds good to me...

[pea3698]

Hey E, will we get to see the first row before the second? or are we just going to show a strip at the bottom and right?

[EVPohovich]

PNG-24 format is fine with me as long as you do not use the "Save for Web" feature in PS as it will lighten your image and it will not match the leave.

USE THIS METHOD TO SAVE YOUR IMAGES:
- File >> Save As...
- Select "PNG" in the Format drop-down menu.
- Name your image and hit "Save" or "OK".
- Select "None" on the PNG Options Palette and hit "OK"

Pea, the first row will be revealed once it is complete, and then we will move onto the second row.

I am still waiting to hear back from a few "personal invites", but I am thinking that I will get this Officially Started on Thursday morning. Pea, if you would like to get started on the first drop I say go for it. It would be really nice to have a drop on opening day. I normally don't spend much time on here during the weekends, but I will be keeping an eye on my E-mail as well as this (and the Submissions) thread during this event via my phone. No point in slowing this down on my account.

My messenger is always on, and I have reactivated the voice server, so if you have ANY questions feel free to contact me at your discretion.

I will announce the order on Thursday morning. Only pea3698 knows where he is in the grand order of RCIV...

Good Luck, and Happy Hunting!

[Natsia]

Hunting?
What are we shooting?

[Adobemedia]

You don't happen to have a MSN account do you E?

[pea3698]

I will try my hardest to get something done by opening day, but I can't promise. I meant I could start Thurs. I have to get my portfolio together tonight and I have an interview tomorrow night with a local school. But don't scratch me I have an idea and I will get to it as fast as possible.

[EVPohovich]

Yes I do, I have an account for everything.....but I use AdiumX on a Mac so those goofy handshake things don't work...

Thanks EVP. Just in case.

[Jujumon]

can you sign me up please. (i can only submit after mid-Feb if that's OK)

to my understanding, when its my turn I will send the whole image to EVP and only 100 pixel right-edge of my pic to the next person via PM?

[nordberg]

just found this...please add me if possible.

[DaVulf]

*Steps out of the shadows*

I'm in.

[RUSHVision]

Wow. Must have been a pretty dark place, you've been gone a while. Nice to see you back, DaVulf!

[alty29]

that is a darn nice lineup.

[TheWaste]

I still wanna start that 'kung-fu rollcanvas' someday...
(i've talked about it before... its an endless 'open' rollcanvas...)

theres no suprise at the end because it runs constantly, but it needs no moderation. people can make multiple images (given that they are placed some distance apart) and it may potentially never stop.
