http://www.seesystems.com/f1
As always, I am ready for your questions, comments and especially your F1 machines of the future!
Whoooooohooooooo!
Finally!

Oh yes, I'm so in! :D
Prepare to be somewhat beaten!
W00t I Am in ( i already was :) )
Awesome =) finally it's open!
One thing, hmm I dunno but I always found that 725 pixel wide was a bit small...I would at least allow 800...bah anyway you decide :)
PS: I'm quite disapointed to see you won't make the poster this year again :( Bah anyway! it will still be an awesome contest :D
Usagi: What did you have in mind as far as using the sequencer?
X-Warrior: 800 pixels is possible. What the heck, I will change it!
I will also consider posters again this year. Oh, what the heck, I will change that too! :)
all your horsepower are belong to me :D
I'm in, even if last year I did horrible :P
Usagi: What did you have in mind as far as using the sequencer?
More than 16 samples for motion blurring.
looks funny. what im suposed to do to participate???
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is now officiall ON!! :P
BgDM
Read the contest rules and history. To participate, make a car and submit an entry. That simple.
I'm in, hopefully I'll finish something somewhat good-looking before the contest closes.

That easy? damn that's cool! haha
hmm...I'm also disapointed by the fact that the rule saying : X-Warrior won seems to be not there...could you change that too? :P

It's about bloody time!!! I was thinking the 7th was never going to come!! LoL
Since this will be my first ever submission to a contest, I'm sure I'm going to fail miserably!! !w00t!
Dang, maybe I should join in just for old times sake... I was in the first one 2001, so why not? Just have to see if I can temporarily get my brain back in Blender mode for a while... May 7 is still pretty far away. :D

We're all doomed :o
haha that will be such a huge contest for blender..last year was suppose to be hard...oh gosh, this year will be F***ing hard! haha
All images must be created and RENDERED in any officially released Blender version that is available for download.
Does this mean you can render in yafray too (since yafray is integrated in blender)?
This is going to be great I'm definatly going to make an F1 car for this contest :D
Thanks CurtisS for the great news. Count me in!
Good luck to all the competitors...
RobertT

Hmmm... the last time I checked, when you click the Render button, Blender renders in the built-in renderer. To me, integrated means that when you click the render button the program renders the image you want. As soon as you can click the render button and Yafray is used for the render AND it is an official release of Blender it will be allowed. The last offical release of Blender is 2.32.
My reasons for this rule are numerous but the main one is to keep the contest even for people new to Blender and the veterens.
JamesK: we would love to see another multi-jet monster again. I loved your last one!
I know I'll be beaten horribly, but what the heck, I'm in anyways.
You CAN render with Yafray with the Render button in Blender in 2.32... you have to install Yafray seperately but Blender can use it to render.
Anyway, maybe I'll enter.
Multi-jets.... mmmmyeaperhaps!
Anywar, fear not - remember that all these hotkeys have been rebound to other functions in both my hands: I'll be dead slow and look like a noob ;)
I bet it will be lots of fun though!
Hold on your little panties, Ladies!!!

Isn't this the case when you select 'yafray' as renderer in the render buttons?
I would like to know if we're allowed to make a manual AA by rendering the pic bigger and reducing the size with another soft?

Well everyone, I stand before you humbled and feeling a bit stupid. I just discovered that VERY LITTLE (I mean it is tiny.... anyone could have missed it...) drop menu below the RENDER button. The Rules have been modified and Yafray is allowed. :D
YAYA: Resizing in an outside app would be post-processing. Don't worry, everyone has to deal with the same situation.
Ok, but if I find a way to resize the pic in Blender??
YAYA
Just use the sequencer to resize the pic and reapply OSA.
Martin
I didn't think of that, that's interesting, but I will try something else:
rendering at a big size, and apply the pic on a plane, tweaking all the possibilities of Blender may give a good result, I will try that after work!
thanks

Coudn't you render twice the size then shrink down? This will help smooth out any jaggies.

Great :D
Expect many shiny transparent F1s this year round :P
...but I shall still dominate you all, muhahaha ;)
I'm still gonna use standard, trusty, ole Blender scan liner. Works perfectly fine and now that we have internal raytracing, what's the point in using YAF anyway? :P

Exactly my point of view =)
PS: Everyone will suffer..soon...very soon :D
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat - yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, eh
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
:D
Jamesk: LMAO! Well, glad to see you back on the right side of the track and using Blender again. ;) :P
Can't wait to see what you come up with this time out.
BgDM
got till may 7th? ok, here goes my first competition!!
Jamesk: LMAO! Well, glad to see you back on the right side of the track and using Blender again. ;) :P
LOL, yeah... I just thought it would make a fun change of routines - and this is arguably the most prestigous and traditional of all Blender contests...
However, since all my blender reflexes are gone by now (you know all that stuff the left hand does without involving your brain (no, not THAT!)) - so chances are I'll perform like a blind, drunken cripple on mescaline or something... Time will tell! 8)
I've got a lame question but here it goes.
The rules seem to say that it must be pure blender, but are we alllowed to use another program to create textures?
Creating textures outside of Blender has always been okay. Hmm... should I put that in the rules??
... - so chances are I'll perform like a blind, drunken cripple on mescaline or something... Time will tell! 8)
You mean that WASN'T your state of mind when you created this? (his 2001 entry)... :P

Mwaahaahaa! I think so... I wasn't drunk, but the rest checks out OK as far as I can remember. Interesting - you know, that is the only existing copy of that particular image (except for anything in various browser caches of course) because I lost ALL my old stuff in a bad HD crash back in september 03 or something... When looking at that F1, well, not much of a loss is it? :D
Mmmmmm. Yafray... But so little time... Maaaaaaaybe.
Man, if I was a little better, you guys would all be screwed because I'm not going anywhere next week, I have NO school, and nothing better to do than work on my F1.. :P
Alright, I'm a complete Blender newbie but I'm in too. This looks like too much fun to pass up and two months should flatten out the learning curve a bit. I've got a long way to go so try and be nice OK? :D
I'm in too! This will be the first time for me.
Judging by the posts here it sound's like the competition's gonna be intense. I can't wait to see what everyone turns out this time.
count me in :P
mahahahahaha
Here's a possible source for inspiration! Not too many f1s here
but you can't get any more "3D". And you'll definitely recognize his work.

im too lazy to read the rules, is ther one about it not being started before teh contest?

It is okay if you have already started. You will have a bit of a head-start on the others. :)
cool, its really not even the car, i just happened to be working on an env. that might (stress the might) work out cool
And is it possible to add more than one model?
And is it possible to add more than one model?
Submit more one entry or include more that one F1 in your image? Actually, both are okay.
I don't knwo if this has been said before, but is it allowed to use the sequence editor to do some postprocessing?
I wanted to use it to give my image some blur, maybe some noise, and to adjust the contrast and colours a bit.
Hi, CurtisS. Would it be possible to make the maximum entry render resolution 1024x768? Some of us are going to be working on very detailed entries, so the ability to feature those details without losing them at a lower resolution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for considering the request!
RobertT
Man I am so going to kick all of your arses! ( well, I like to imagine that I will even though I won't. :P )

Guess I'll join. I'm seeing all those F1s on the WIP board, and I gotta say that it gets pretty catchy! :)
hannibar: As long as you use Blender and can prove that you used the sequence editor for the post processing within the blend file, it's perfectly OK.
Can't wait to see what you come up with tto. Always like your stuff.
BgDM
you could adjust the contrast and brightness by making a render, loading it onto a plane as a texture, setting to shadeless, and adjusting the brightness and contrast in the texture buttons,....I would think that would be ok, but I might be wrong.
i dont think ill even bother entering. i stand no chance. :-|
JK!!!! F1 HERE I COME 8)

RobertT
I have generally kept the resolution size down because I hate to scroll horizontally on a web site (which large images will generally end up doing)and to help keep the file sizes down. That said, I will bump the maximum size to 1024x1024 (I'm so easy). Okay, people, this means the max width is 1024 and the max height is 1024. You can always go smaller. ;)
Regarding post-processing in Blender...
The intent of the rule simply is-- you should be able to click the Render button and get your final image. I would regard rendering an image on a plane as NOT following the intent of the rule. Personally, I cannot think of a reason why that would need to be done anyway as Blender has all of the tools necessary to properly light and render a nicely contrasted scene.
My suggestion was to use an image created in blender, and it is in fact standard practice to build up backbuffed layers, which is no different from applying it to a shadeless plane. This is a basic function of blender, so i would like to know to what extent we will be allowed to use this functionality. What if we made a background, render it, and use it in the backbuffer, or on a plane, as a backdrop for the main model? Legal or illegal?
why would u do that? render times??
...What if we made a background, render it, and use it in the backbuffer, or on a plane, as a backdrop for the main model? Legal or illegal?
This has been done before with many of the F1 images (including last year's #3 favorite by le-topograph) so I don't have a problem with it.
@ CurtisS : I've sent you a small private message
skeletor, correct.
but then how do you get good shadows?
I will bump the maximum size to 1024x1024 (I'm so easy). Okay, people, this means the max width is 1024 and the max height is 1024. You can always go smaller. ;)
Thank you, CurtisS! :) I know what you mean about scrolling. It can be a pain, but I notice many web browsers resize images on the fly to fit in the browser window with an option to expand, so it's not as bad as it used to be.
Thanks for holding this competition. It made me a better Blender user last year, and. from what I've experienced so far working on my entry these past couple of days, I think this year will be no different in that regard. The competition will be tougher though, so I know I have some serious work to do! :D
RobertT
Skeletor if you are not shifting your scene around, you don't have to worry about it. You just keep the background in the backbuffer and the foreground in the 3D window. If you are needing shadows on the buffered image after the fact, you have to duplicate the surface that recieves the shadow, append it to the current file, and set it to 'env' I think,...whatever the setting is that makes a material into a non material, then it will just catch your shadows. Same concept as ter2blend. Also, hannibar, if you want to exchange information with curtis, can't you do it in the open? Or maybe just not mention it here? You draw suspicion.
I just noticed that among the prizes is a blender manual, which i thought was a bit strange since most of us have already ordered the manual already. Perhaps we could have an option, say, a choice of the manual,....or...( ? ) gameblender maybe?
Is a team effort allowed?
I just started working on an entry with a friend - can we submit it together?
I want o clarify something. I see hannibar edited his XML file to have HDRI lighting enabled and then obviously, he had to render from command line with YAFray. In his thread, he stated that CurtisS said it was OK to do this.
So, is it OK to do this, or not?
BgDM

Okay, hold everything! I apparently misunderstood Hannibar's intent of editing the XML file (I apologize Hans for the confusion). I will admit that I am in total ignorance about using YafRay as I have never bothered to try it (other than using it directly from the BLENDER render buttons). However, the intent of the rule remains, the entry image must be rendered from Blender. If I request your blend file (if you finish in the top 5) I must be able to open Blender, click the Render button and see your final image rendered on my screen. I unfortunately do not have the time to figure out what was done to an exported XML file or tweeked in the sequence editor.
The rules have been this way since 2001 and I don't see a need to change them. Again, I apologize for any confusion regarding this topic.
i was in the 2002 one, but my pc crashed and a lost my work. but now im gonna enter
AND IN JESUS NAME IM GONNA WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, go for it! :)
CurtisS: I won't be using Yafray, but I think it's important to know for the others :p... Do you have yafray installed on your computer? hehe
Cause, for my side, I thought yafray was all integrated into blender..but it was somekind of a surprise to me when I learned I needed to install it outside...Just wanted to point that out..
Hey X,
I do have Yafray installed and have toyed with it on occasion from within Blender. I haven't bothered to learn how to export and use it to render separately. I always figured that a nice renderer would eventually be integrated into Blender (whether it be Yafray or something else) and my wait has proved worth it.
Thanks!

OK. No problem then. Just wanted that clarified. So we can still do a nice Pathlight render with YAFray within Blender. So that will be great then.
Thanks.

No problem. I guess I'll make another entry then.
There's a way to use HDRI backgrounds in the latest builds.
Martin
how? not in yafray right?

Well, you can only use official builds, and I doubt 2.33 will be released before the deadline.
You don't think 2.33 will be released before may 7th?!
Martin
o00oo, now u gotta tell us theeth
Tell you what?
Public development meetings every sunday on irc, just come and participate if you wish.
Martin
Ok, time to dig out that wheel that was all I managed to finish for last year's contest. Maybe I'll get as far as the steering wheel this time 8)
Admiral Mac
20-Mar-04, 13:02
this is a naive question, but what is irc?
It's a type of online chat.
You can get to the #blenderchat channel via the "chatbox" link at the top of the page, but if you want to chat properly, to to http://www.xchat.org/ and download that
Then connect to freenode and type "/join #blenderchat"
The sunday meetings are in #blendercoders iirc

yeah! first entry! bored
ehrrrr.... if I ever hit the first 5 we may have a problem... my .blend is currently already 35mB and that's not counting textures... and I'm not even done yet.

We can worry about that when the time comes. In the meantime, get that model done! :) The F1 site is looking pretty empty right now.
Well hell if you just want some more stuff on there, go here http://www.alienhelpdesk.com/index.php?id=1,8 and pic an image of my WIP, but it's a WIP so I'll have the final entry later... in a couple of days I think.
Sorry, I don't like to post entries until they are submitted to me by their creator.

11-Apr-04, 14:34
i think your f1 is awesome. you should have a forum at ahd, 'cause you have enough visits.
thanks nathan
I had a forum there at one time but it wasn't too lively. That's why it's got a comment script thing on every page now, though people don't use it much. I don't have that many visitors now anyway, maybe 50 new people a day. I had one very busy year when I had 50.000 people come by in a few months because there's some free php scripts there. I'm back to something like 10.000 a year now, which is great but not as much as you'd think. It's not as if I ever made a penny off it hehe ;)

11-Apr-04, 21:39
the website is really awesome, though
i like the old layout better (the one u had about 2 wks ago, with the gadget/image/thingy on the side)
Curtis sent you an email... did you get it?
and thx nathan... I change the look of that site quite often... well whenever I feel like it really... I'll probably end up changing it again ;)
HI macouno,
Yes, I received your email. I have been pretty busy so I am not getting images posted right away. I should have yours up shortly.
Note to all Challengers---
I will be gone for about a week (to China) and will be away from email. Any entries sent to me during that time will be posted when I return.
Thanks!
Hey all,
I am back from the orient and ready to post entries. Some of the works-in-progress look very promising!
11 days left!
Hey welcome back!
but man..don't stress me out! still 40% of my pic to go hahha...
/me goes and blend some more before sleeping
Oh shit, 11 days. Don't panic Captain Mannering Sir.
Too many comps not enough time.
Sonix.
Hey curtisS!
Just wanted to know...When exactly will you close your mailbox for the entry?
Friday to Saturday midnight EST time? or what?
so now we can use AO right? because of 2.33 being official?
Skel, 2.33 is an officially released version, so go for it!
X, entries close 12 midnight on May 7 pacific time (west coast USA). That is the 12 midnight at the end of the day not the beginning (am I saying this right?).
Is it too late to add my placeholder ?
Wow, first ever competition and first ever response on the forum !

First of all, welcome to Elysiun and Blender.
The deadline for entries for the 2004 Blender F1 Challenge is May 7 as mentioned in my previous post. As long as you get your image to me by then you will be okay.
hey curtis im going to have to withdraw my entry due to me running out of time and iv been to busy revising for my year 9 sats... o goodie cant wait for my gcse :-? i will hopfully have a good entry for next year best of luck to all of you who are taking part... o yeh and just incase you want to see my entry here it is:
http://doug.mud-puddle.co.nz/gallery/public/f1yellow_001
oh man, I have been too busy to Blend lately (although I have tampered with some files from time to time) anyways.... 2 days left and I am going to start modeling now :D
One thing I am worried about is the rendering time.... if I ever get there that is
i will not finish in time but good luck to all competitors! [!]
Are there any of you Blenderheads who have waited too long to get your F1 completed that would benefit if the deadline were extended? It is always possible to change the deadline date if there is enough need. I would certainly like to see more entries than what I have so far.
Opinions??

Please. :D

I have been secretly working on an F1 and would welcome a small extension.
Just so its not too long. ;)
StefanF
If you extend the deadline I might just be able to enter.
I'd be able to texture and add an environement. I just finished completely redesigning and adding materials, but it lacks a bit of the rest.
Martin
Well, I guess I can be convinced.
My apologies to all of the Challengers who have worked hard to get their entries in before the May 7 deadline. That said, the deadline has been extended to May 15. See the F1 Challenge site for a bit more info.

Thanks!
Well, it was a hard fighting party with my wife for leaving me finish my pic in time!
Have you an idea for me to explain her that the deadline have moved???

The main reason is simple... I would like to see more entries in the Challenge. You had no way to foresee the change.
The May 15 deadline is final though.
wow O_O lol ok bombshell there, i have been pumping away at my entry last 2 weeks, and though i would have made my entry by the time it was needed it wouldnt have been as good as i would have like it, this extention is really great, thanks. though i was staying up 24 hours last night and i heard news of the extention i was like O_____O
thanks again, i think you'll find a lot more entries coming in, as many were waiting till near the end of the contest to put their entries in, so dont give up hope when the last hours of the contest are coming in =D
Peace Out

I think all we folks who got our F1's before the 7th should get special consideration when voting time comes!! :P ;) :D 8) :)
or at least an extra point! that way I have a chance at not being LAST PLACE! lmao

Actually you have an advantage already. You can put additional time into the details of your image where those who started late do not have that luxury.
Are we allowed to use python scripts??
Cheers,
b01c
The rules are pretty clear. The final render must be from Blender. Whether a python script is used or not doesn't matter.
Thanks for the question.
Thanks for the quick answer :D.
Cheers,

coool so if i happen to find a python stript that allows you to go add-->mesh--->f1 i could use it? ;)

Just as long as it doesn't look like Weirdhat's entry... :)
so when does the voting open?
HI all,
The deadline for entries in only 17 hours away! I have received some entries this morning and will have them posted very soon.
Voting will begin as soon as I have the voting files setup on my server. I will post a separate thread in this Contest Forum when voting starts which will likely be Sunday evening. Stayed tuned and thanks for making this year's contest alot of fun (once again)!!
how long will the voting go on?
Typically I will run the voting for 5 days.
Hi all!
ONE HOUR UNTIL THE 2004 BLENDER F1 CHALLENGE CLOSES FOR ENTRIES!
I will try to get the web site updated tonight but more than likely I will make the last changes tomorrow morning as there have been alot of last minute entries and updates (and I am getting very tired %| ). Entries that arrive to me after the deadline (based on their email time stamp) cannot be accepted :( .
Thanks everyone! :D
Ciao for now! (and good night)
CurtisS
Hello All,
Entries for the 2004 Blender F1 Challenge are closed!
I will have all of the new and updated entries posted within an hour or two.
Thank you to all who took the time (some of you ALOT of time) to create F1s and once again make this contest so strong (about 40 entries). There is some outstanding work this year!
I will announce the beginning of the voting process on a separate thread here in the Contest forum. Expect that to happen within 24 hours (I need time to make sure the code work properly :) ).
I'm sure you have a good reason for this, but it's been a lot more than two hours, and the site hasn't been updated... what's up?
EDIT: There they are. :D
I had alot of last minute entries and updates come in at the very end. I was too tired to edit and post the pages last night so I have been doing them this morning. Anyway...
The site has been updated! Enjoy!

Alas, I didn't make the deadline in time. I ended up building 3 different models but couldn't decide which to submit. Finally decided and managed to be no where near a computer with web access so missed the deadline.
No worries though, after looking at the entries page, I don't think I would have had much chance anyway.
All the best to everyone who was sensible and entered on time.
Sonix.
