Jason_Williams Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Hey Everyone, We're launching a screenshot contest. See this thread for more information. Good luck! http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/16021-bos-screenshot-contest-enter-here/ Jason 3
Finkeren Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Some strong contenders already... and then a whole bunch of mine - low res as they are - Thanks for lowering the standards Jason I really like the night picture by serg24 of the He 111 sitting on the runway. Beautiful lighting in that one. Hope Reflected joins the contest. His shots were always pure awesomeness. Edited April 25, 2015 by Finkeren
Finkeren Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Lots of good stuff posted these first few days. But, if I may make a suggestion: You should make a 7th category called "Damage Model". BoS has such excellent damage visuals, but currently a lot of great shots that showcase the damage model are getting lumped together under "air combat" or "other" or worse, maybe not even posted at all? Don't know, if you'll want to spend another 350$ on it, but considering, that there hasn't been a single entry in the "modified" category so far, while there are a lot of shots that would fit nicely in a "damage model" category, it might be worth it. Just a suggestion anyway.
Livai Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Don't know, if you'll want to spend another 350$ on it, but considering, that there hasn't been a single entry in the "modified" category so far, while there are a lot of shots that would fit nicely in a "damage model" category, it might be worth it. Whatever category they choosed the Devs can change the category where they think this screenshot fit much better. I wonder what they do with the screenshot that not are under the 1.2.3 place. To the trash??????
Finkeren Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I wonder what they do with the screenshot that not are under the 1.2.3 place. To the trash?????? They already stated quite clearly, that they intent to use them for promoting the sim. They're likely going to use a lot more of the screenshots than just the winners going forward.
Finkeren Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) So is today the day the winners will be announced ? I gotta admit I'm a little excited to see your choices, both to see if one of my own has found its way among them (obviously) but especially because seeing the very best of that awesome collection of shots grouped together is really gonna be something Edited June 10, 2015 by Finkeren
Feathered_IV Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I must admit as a previous winner of an RoF screenshot contest, the standard was so high this time around that I didn't even enter. Looking forward to seeing the results too.
Finkeren Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 That's too bad Feathered. I would've loved to see, what you could do in BoS in the screenshots department. Another old RoF favourite of mine, Reflected, did enter and posted some premium stuff.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Will be the BOS highlight of the week to see which ones were picked to be the winners. I only put in 6 unlike others so not that hopeful but u never know
Finkeren Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 As Jason said: quality, not quantity. (Says the guy who propably handed the most shots in ) 1
-TBC-AeroAce Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah if u don't win something u should probably except that ur not very good at this or wonder if they disqualified u for spamming lol :-)
Urra Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Yeah if u don't win something u should probably except that ur not very good at this or wonder if they disqualified u for spamming lol :-) Some of his shots were great though... It would be great though if we could get 4k textures on the aircraft skins instead of 2k if we desired them, some of the artifacts are really noticeable on the wings.
A-E-Hartmann Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Some of his shots were great though... It would be great though if we could get 4k textures on the aircraft skins instead of 2k if we desired them, some of the artifacts are really noticeable on the wings. It would be great 4k textures.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 wasnt saying they are bad just saying this guy better win lol
Finkeren Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 LoL to be honest, I don't really expect to win anything My shots are pretty low res because of my crappy old screen, and I was only able to even enter the contest because Jason decided to lower the standards for resolution I just had a ton of fun with the contest, as I've never really taken screenshots before in any game (except to document a bug or something like that) I'm just glad to have finally gotten into the art of screenshots, it's opened a whole new way of enjoying BoS at a time when I found my interest fading a bit. Don't care if I win anything.
Jason_Williams Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Winners have been announced. I'll add the names in a bit. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/16769-winners-2015-screenshot-contest-announced/?do=findComment&comment=265169 Jason
Juri_JS Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Congratulations to the winners. I wonder if there are any plans to do similar contests for skinners and mission builders. This could encourage more people to learn skinning and using the FMB. The winners work could be added in an official update to enhance the games content.What do you think Jason?
Jason_Williams Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 I might run some other contests in the future. They are fun. Jason 1
Finkeren Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Congratulations to the winners. Great job! Had a lot of fun with this
Reflected Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I can't believe I won! The competition was pretty high, with so many amazing entries. Congratulations to all the other winners and my hats off to everyone who participated to the competition, everybody did a fantastic job. And mostly, thank you 777 for this contest and this brilliant sim!
9./JG27golani79 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Congratulations to the winners! A lot of good screenshots in this contest
Veteran66 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I might run some other contests in the future. They are fun. Jason Skin contests maybe
Jokker Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Great shots, example ”Air Combat” 1 and 2 can see also pilot viewing direction (Fighter plane pilot look to left side), these are also my opinion nice detail. Congratulations to the winners!
Freycinet Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) OMG, the winners are all mindblowingly good! The very first screenie, over Stalingrad, I have a hard time getting my head around it. What is the huge blue layer, with Stalingrad poking through in the bottom righthand corner? - Just a big cloud? Really looks like a painting, so beautiful. The Stuka over the marshalling yard is also crazy good. Edited June 11, 2015 by Freycinet
Rjel Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 The winners are all some great shots. I hope when BoM comes out this contest will be repeated.
[TWB]80hd Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Congratulations to the winners. I wonder if there are any plans to do similar contests for skinners and mission builders. This could encourage more people to learn skinning and using the FMB. The winners work could be added in an official update to enhance the games content. What do you think Jason? My wife made the skins featured in Pands winning scenic shot, so that's cool! (Though the design itself was a major team effort) I'm probably going to let her sleep with me to celebrate!
