- Flow Contest -
:winamp: Welcome to the Flow AVS presets contest :winamp:

All submissions go here,with a limit of 1 preset per person and 1 update.Please send them in this format : FC-author-name.avs
Here is the FINAL list of rules,if you don`t like it don`t participate and anyone who will be cheating in any way is OUT.

1: 1 superscope
2: 1 dynamic movement
3: unlimited effect lists
4: unlimited number of buffers
5: two trans effects(General APE's allowed,like color map,texer,convolution filter,but no preset specific APEs)
6: one other render object except the superscope
7: any ammount of fadeout, brightness, fast brightness and all the misc except buffer.
9: a small comment on the preset.

You can send the preset until the date of 28 May,that`s 3 weeks from today.
All presets must be related to the title of the contest so anything that aint flowy goes to recycle bin.
As for preset judging i propose one of the mods or all of them or we can get some milkdrop`ers here at the end of the contest.

Have fun and good luck !

Here's a scaled back version of a preset in my next pack. I hope the APE "Add Borders" counts for #6 and not #5.

My entry:
The Gloaming

there are no condidtions about pictures, so i have included that as my other render object.

(requires pictureII and color map APE's)

My entry for the contest. Requires Colormap. Details in the comment ;)

EDIT: Just a small addition to the comment. Damn, I have too fast fingers... This doesn't count as an update right? :D Nothing in the preset itself has changed.

Today isn't my lucky day... I just realized I posted my entry with one trans effect over the limit. Here is the right version.... I promise it won't happen again :o :o

i made it in a short time and it's really late...i'm going to bed now...might update it tomorrow

dirkdeftly

15th May 2003 20:50 UTC

updated version.

i also have a couple objections...first is magic's entry, using the tentacles ape...i have a serious objection to anyone using that render in any preset in the first place, and imo it breaks the "only general apes" rule because it was made for one specific preset in the first place :/

also, raz's entry - it's smooth, and it looks really cool, but it's not flow-y to me :)

<edit> forgot to ask: you say we can have unlimited buffer saves in rule #4, but that we can't have any buffer saves in #7... </edit>

My entry
Here's my entry... though I'm not sure it qualifies. It's not a literal DM-kind of preset, but it still has a flowy feel.

So it's up to the judges, whoever that turns out to be, to accept or reject it.

dirkdeftly

16th May 2003 00:11 UTC

okay, another update of fingerpaint, plus a second entry - it's legal if the render rule is "two renders limited to one superscope" and not "one superscope, one other render"... :confused:
And I said I did some major cheating in the comment...what i meant is, all of the components are legal, but the way I used them bends the rules :)

<edit> oh dearie me, forgot to delete a stray superscope...also darkened it a little </edit>

<edit2>

5: two trans effects(General APE's allowed,like color map,texer,convolution filter,but no preset specific APEs)

Raz

16th May 2003 00:28 UTC

Atero rule violations:
fingerpaint
two extra trans effects
trefoil
one extra trans effect
one extra render (remove the scope, it doesn't seem to make much difference at all)

sorry dude but you need to fix it.

UnConeD

16th May 2003 01:21 UTC

Err Raz, remember that Trans/Fadeout does not count...

But does this mean that Trans/Dynamic movement also counts for those max 2 trans effects?

Shock Value

16th May 2003 02:06 UTC

Here's my update. (Smoother flow, better colors, other small improvements, etc.)

sidd

16th May 2003 05:13 UTC

One preset per person atero, this is a competition is case you forgot. So resubmit the one that you like best, and fix up your 'rule stretching'

Maybe some of those rules do contradict, but if you use your noggin, i think you can work out what is meant by them for yourself. If you chose to re-interpret the rules after everyone else has abided by them, it isnt fair on the rest of 'em.

Here is a very slight update of mine, with the color map enhanced a bit.

btw: ucd, you should have so called that preset 'Icarus' instead

Tuggummi

16th May 2003 06:48 UTC

If dynamic movement counts in the "2 trans effects" section, then my preset as well violates rules.

But why, oh why is there an unlimited use of effect lists? Effect lists are fps sucking monsters! They slow any preset down too much... Wasn't the original idea to make fast(in fps) presets?

dirkdeftly

16th May 2003 07:53 UTC

This was *exactly* why I objected to the competition in the first place, siddhartha_one. If you're going to be that anal retentive about this contest, then I'm out of it entirely. I followed your fucking rules as best as I could, I asked for a restatement, and all you could do is call me an idiot and stalk off. Well guess what, YOUR RULES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND, MMKAY? Tell us what the hell we're supposed to do or FUCK OFF.
As for multiple entries, the few contests I've seen around ALL allowed more than one preset per person, so don't give me that "This is a contest, after all" crap :mad:

STOP TALKING IN THIS THREAD.USE THE OTHER THREAD! ...Also,stop the fucking flaming,wont do any good.

16th May 2003 08:38 UTC

Hey, im not being anal, nor did i make up the rules. I think phaze did that. I didnt call you an idiot, and i didnt 'stalk off'
Im just trying to make sence of it so that everyone is at the same level.
chill atero.

Here is a new verion of phazes the rules. they arnt changed, just made more clear. sorry if i pissed you off, no intention to do so.


1: 1 dynamic movement.
2: two other trans.
(this means you can have 1 dm and 2 others. 3 all up.)

3: 1 superscope.
4: one other render.
(this means you can have 1 ssc and 1 other. 2 all up.)

5: any ammount of fadeout, brightness, fast brightness, effect list or /misc section.
6: you CANT replace your DM for another trans, or your ssc for another render.
7: In general, presets should 'flow', and be reasonably fast in fps.

any other queries, post to the OTHER thread. (just about a lost cause now.)

btw, its really sad to see so less contributions, come on guys the deadline is coming near!

Hi. Tell me how to attach a file, and I will show you my new preset.

Tuggummi

22nd May 2003 11:44 UTC

Uhm, runar, i know you're a good artist i know you from devart, but be aware what you post here in the forums, since here you will get flamed down for posts like that :p

Oh well, here is a screenshot on how to attach a file. Don't use the Quick reply in bottom of a thread, use the small yellow "Post a reply button" to get into this page, where you can attach a file.

"Uhm, runar, i know you're a good artist i know you from devart, but be aware what you post here in the forums, since here you will get flamed down for posts like that :p "

Yeah, I've seen that from some other threads. But the FAQ didn't help for a shit, so I kinda HAD to ask :p
If people start flaming me, I'm out :)

Thanks for the screenshot mate.
Here's my preset; (-) Ion.

No need for this, Shreyas. Entries that are past the deadline will be simply ignored.
