I'm willing to put a prize in from PureCNC. Not much however. Say $25 via paypal + Free hosting + Gold account over at PureCNC?

Just to point out that I've spread the news about it on PPM. Dario also featured a news about this event on Planet CnC. And guest, please, identify yourself.

Free hosting no way, since Revora also offers free hosting. But the paypal offer looks interesting.

Cheers, Banshee.
Once you've identified yourself I'll consider the paypal offer. I know money shouldn't be made from modding, but if someones willing to make a donation its hardly my place to stop them. :blink:

Week 1 Tip:

While OS SHP Builder isn't the best tool for image effects, it can assemble the elite icon, make text, borders and few other effects with ease.

Prepare your custom background with photoshop, gimp or similar. Using one of the OS SHP Builder backgrounds may cut some of your orignality related points. Make sure it's 60x48 (for Ra2) or 64x48 for TS. Prepare your unit picture, also with one of these 3rd party image editing programs with all effects needed. Make sure the unit facing follows the default of the game. Save it also with 60x48 (for RA2) or 64x48 (for TS).

Import your unit on OS SHP Builder (File -> Import Image as SHP). Optimize it to the cameo of your game. Use Infurium as Colour Conversion Method, afterall you may want the best quality for it. Make sure that the SHP Type is set to Cameo. Once imported, open the cameo generator. If you are doing a RA2 cameo, choose Kravvitz 2. For TS, choose TS. Import your custom background. Make sure the side fits your purpose. Allied is blue, Soviet is red, Yuri is purple, GDI is gold, Nod is the one closet to grey. Once you hit OK, save your cameo and good luck.

We always recommend you to test it ingame.

I suppose you can also send it to me or gamemate, since we're judges as well, I can send it to Jeeves when he gets online. Or maybe you'll see him online tomorrow morning, he's usually around in our mornings.

And Banshee, you must be good at this, these Revora lads are all lip, but I've received actual entries from PPM :p

hmmm, 1 cameo per participant? what? you want me to pull an arse out of my hat?

wait, thats suposed to be hat out of my arse, but, i'll leave it there since it sounds cool :huh:

how about i dig up my best 4 cameos... 1 each for infantry, building, aircraft and land based vehicle. I'd have said 5 including navel, but, those kinda suck... the aircrafy will probably just be a jumpjet unittype...

(some of the old comps had multiple entries per participent, like multiple building SHPs, or multiple VXLs)
you should make it so if you have multiple entries, you just count the best 1, IE: you can only win once.

you could even have more than 1 comp... best infantry, building, aircraft, tank, ship. best overall. most pathetic cameo(i bet i can win with that 1.).

Ahh, but its up to you to pick your best... :p Maybe if I do another comp sometime it'll be more options, but as it is I've already had entrants trying to enter multiples and let me pick so it would be unfair to change now. It also doesn't make judging easier, and ones better than the rest, and you can only win once, you only need enter that one. And seperate comp's just won't work, dividing the entrants into the groups would virtually determine the winner :wub:
And what you do with your hat is your business :huh:

Actually, Bobing,I'd probably win Most Pathetic Cameo. :huh:

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.

What about drawing squiggles in paint, then using SHP Builder's Cameo Maker thing on the image and calling it a Visceroid? :huh:

Just a little update: Now the navbar fully supports this event. The big cameo button over there is an awesome work from Mig Eater.
