The hosting died. It is the fifth casualty since I opened the On the Haunt page. I think the ghosts haven’t popped me off yet because they save things of little value till last.
Honestly, I am like a walking bad omen. Do not allow me near any projects or contests or websites you want running longer than a few days! I have never been so ~beeping~ mad and frustrated in my entire life! GRRRRR!
So, now that the scriptable hosting is officially dead, you all must submit to my nice little email address! Yay! So send your entries in 1024x768 JPEG to [[email protected]. Check out http://displaycalibration.com/ first and get your monitor adjusted so all the images will have uniform brightness levels.
Being low tech is not bad, especially since I realized that it “just works!” Hooray! Finally something that hopefully won’t break or explode. And hurry, submit your images quickly before the entire planet bursts into flames as a result of the horrible dark luck that surrounds our little contest!
Just one thang: You forgot to say that the image should be either 1024 px wide or 768 px high - or maybe sum up to 786432 px, no matter what the height and width. Because, I don’t wanna sound like a complete bastard or something, but I’ve got this really tall image, and there’s no way I’m going to change that. I stand proudly by my artistic freedom and integrity! YaaahiiiaaAAK! OK?!
Every year I re-enact my favorite stabbing scenes from spooky movies with someone… YOU ARE THAT SOMEONE THIS YEAR!!! j/k
Okay I meant 1024 pixels across the screen horizontally, and 768 pixels from the very top of your image to the very bottom. But… who cares? If you really have to have a long image make it whatever way you want. It can’t be more than 1024 pixels wide though. And please please please don’t make it 903825908193850123985 pixels high, because I have to have mercy on what little bandwidth I have. Also, your image will appear in the gallery as 800 pixels wide (but resized proportionally, of course) by default, with the larger version available for high-res viewing.
Yes, I got some… and some still have the little flags icons on them and I didn’t reply. Jeez I suck. But I did get the script! But… it won’t work on my host… but I think it’s a problem with my host. Not script. I had nice ASP hosting which I thought would solve all my problems. But that died so…
Hey! I just got back from work and I’m rerendering like crazy! Gimme a break you awful man! I just noticed that my blender crashes if I try to render my pic with all textures packed… had to go back to a previous version and do a whole lot of changes… of course I could have unpacked… ack! Just keep your head in the mailbox - it’s coming your way…
j/k
