Renderer Of The Years - Judges & Information.

hye i'm pretty sure this is kinda late of me to ask but can i still be a judge?

 

DJ - Well... We do need some judges... As long as you do it fairly and follow the judging rules, yes!

 

ok! thanks!!!
w00t i feel special, but um just to make sure that its official i'll wait for anotehr gamerenders staff judge to respond

thanks kakarot

 

I'm the organiser of this tournament lol, I said yah can be a judge, so judge away

 

okay!

 

il be a judge as well if you need more kaz

 

Hey Kazuya i would love to become a Judge. I've been on GR long enough to know a good render from a bad render. Also i'm a very strick judge so if there is an error i will spot it out and tell them why its not good.

Hope i make it

 

I'm getting a bit disappointed (read: annoyed) on how the judges are judging.
It seems that they aren't taking this too serious. You can't explain your thoughts in just one line. i see this more often now.
example:
".... gets my vote, nice picture and more difficult"

common. that isn't judging, that's just picking a random name with some cliché comments.
You need to add more explanation to your conclusion, so that no-one can say that you're wrong.
I voted in the first round, and i think my approach was the best so far. Sure it costs some time, but at least everyone will know how got to your conclusion.

I used this layout:
* 1st thought
* Mistakes
* positive
* negative


Example:

Titan.:
1st thought
- cool and original

Mistakes
- a slight white spot on the left eh… thing. You know.. the one that sticks out
- a slight white line on another small thing on the left. (near his ear). Also a part of his equipment on his back (damn what a confusing picture).
- Some slight white lines on the right big wing-like thing
- Some black outlining on the white part of his hat and on the tip of the left guns
- A black line on the right-side of his belt and on the right-side of his neck
- Some cubic places on some parts of the entire render

Positive
- Good size
- Good on both dark and light backgrounds
- Very original


Pro Evo Graphics:
1st thought
- Nice and bright picture, only sad that her head is partly chopped off.

Mistakes
- a bit choppy around the hair
- some light outline on her left shoulder (our left)
- some cubic places over on the bottom-right and between the laces of her glove on the left side.
- A missed black spot on the right “braid?” (lock of hair)

Positive
- nice picture that has very usable color, and will look nice in a sig

Negative
- a bit large (not in size, but in screen-filling. If you draw a cubic around it, it would fill almost everything)


I'm not asking you to use the same approach, but at least tell some more details. The renderer can learn from that also, and he can't say that you're wrong about something.

thx for reading

 

i agree it makes me agree when i people give a one line reply just saying that bob gmv because it looked harder

 

Kaz, you better look to battles...There`r judging peoles who have minus rep...or less that 50 posts....

 

Ok, we need your votes please judges.

If anyone wants to help out and judge in this late stage; drop me a pm and i will decide.

 

friendly reminder: VOTE IN ALL THE TOPICS!

 

can some one post an updated list of judges

 

no offense to the guys that judged the competition,

but next time there should only be good renderers allowed to judge...
it is so annoying when half of the judges don't even see the 'extras' you put in, or make a good comparison with the original and the rendered version.

(and i mean a comparison other than just looking a the posts in this forum but opening it up and checking with different background colors...)

maybe next year there will be judging by the actual participants...(through a voting system)

 

True, I'm going to try and fix this right now.
