Subject: DVXFest Leaders

Animated logo leaders which will appear opening dvxuser.com DVXFest entries.

The content of the leader will be a "dvxuser" logo of the user's design and the following text: "Official DVXFest Participant". There are no font or color restrictions for the logo or the additional text.

All CGIFest entries will be used in a pool for selection by DVXFest entrants to use as leaders. For the 3 winners... to be determined... Bragging rights at least...

Here's an .obj file of the dvxuser logo if you can use it...dvxuser_logo.obj (http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/19604/1232372258.zip)



Rules. Please read carefully.

* Credits are allowed however the entries will later be required to submit the leader as an uncompressed image sequence without credits and produced at 24p or 25p for use in the DVXUser fests. Further details will be announced.

* You may enter up to three entries as the primary submitter. There is no limitation to how many entries you may work on.

* Entries must be submitted in the following format: CGIFest 2 Winner bumper, then the DVXFest leader.

* Click Here (http://www.dvxfest.com/bumpers/cgifest/dvxuser_cgifest-baofengyu.mov) for a 100mbit QT Animation version of the required CGIF bumper. About 70MB.

Also, for those who would like to use the actual dvxuser font it's named 'Eight Track program two'. It can't be provided here because of copyrights but that's what it's called.

I'm in again. I had my brother take some photos I require as modelling references. When he drops those off I'll be able to get started. Nothing too crazy this time around.

S.W.A.T. - The best show, Ever! Actually I look a bit like the guy on the left. I can hear the theme music now...

Can you provide a vector file of the DVX Logo?

I'm not a vector guy but I have Illustrator and I can create "dvxuser" in it with the correct font. What format do you need? .ai, .eps?

Is the CGI leader file we need going to be made available soon? Or should I just download the second CGIFest winner and use that?

Uploading available soon? Aside from the leader, I'm ready.

We should have everything ready for uploading early next week. I'll get the CGIFest winner bumper posted tomorrow one way or another.

I just finished rendering out my second entry and, ofcourse, 'now' I notice my text reads:
'dvxuser Official Fest Entry' and not the required
'dvxuser Official DVXFest Participant.'

Dang it. I'll start changing it but wanted to ask how strict are we on the official wording?
I'm assuming pretty strict but thought I'd ask anyways, just in case.

This text is a direct request from Jason, so I think it should be exact. If you can't have it changed in time then submit it as is for voting and then change it for later use in the fests.

Thanks Tower. I have it changed and rendering again so it'll be in on time, no worries.
