Some good stuff, keep up the good work phear-

Looks good, but I'll stick with ZBrush, spent long enough learning it's twisted UI after all, lol.

Well, a lot of Open Source is basically Do-It-Yourself stuff. People make roof, the placing thereof is left to you.

*eyes the palettes of roof panels in front of house and sighs*

lol, get the wife to do it, tell her she needs the exercise. It's perfectly safe, women love to be told that, 'onest!

Hi.

I like the idea too! But have a few questions:

?Record at 25fps at 720p HD resolution? ? what should be the screen resolution? 1280x720 (16:9) ? And what if the original game is 640x480 (4:3)? Capture it in 640x480 (4:3) or remake the game in 1280x720 (16:9)? Or simply run the application in the fullscreen mode and capture as it is (4:3)?

?Use the standard MPEG format? ? MPEG 1 or MPEG 2? May I use MPEG 4?

?Don't include the audio? ? I would advise to leave the sound without music, i.e. original game sounds (sound of jumping, shooting, etc. ) + main musical theme which you will select for the showreel. I think it will keep the atmosphere and make the video more fun.

Will only one person create and edit the video? Or everyone can try to make his own version of the showreel?

I've previously worked in an advertising agency, made video ads and presentation films. And I have some ideas about what the final video should be. <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/ge.gif">

Well if you'd like to make the showreel from the submissions, go ahead.

I don't understand your insistence to use an ancient outdated codec when there's a better alternative that's a standard and used everywhere. I understand you don't want to mess around with a lot of esoteric codecs, but as long as it's either MPEG-1 or h.264, why does it matter which a person uses?

Besides, I tried to post an MPEG-1 on the forms a while ago, and there were people who couldn't read that either. :/

I could have said divX too

But it's cool, I'll change the rules in the submission thread to allow for any codec.

Edit: Not directed at Arima who posted just before me dammit lol.

No.. the problem is nobody is reading anything, there's a thread already been put up for submissions, with the rules, and the deadline. Anything other than that is just discussion. But at least you guys are discussing it in the RIGHT THREAD. *glares at deadeye, 6fix and Quazi* Hehe.

So yeah, the option of exe OR video is there because there will always be people who can't do one thing but can do the other. There's a set format to use, mpeg, which is available to everyone with win2k and above (so no excuses at not being able to use it), there's a set resolution to use so the quality remains consistent in the video, and it's the lower end of the HD formats, so fewer will have issues with it, there's no requirement to include audio, which makes grabbing at a decent frame rate far easier, and also smaller files.

Ashley, quit being so negative

There's the submission thread for everyone.

Here's a thread for you to upload your executable or video examples for possible inclusion in the "Official" construct Showreel.

I've put the thread in here, so you can use the attachment feature for the smaller files, which might help those who can't use the other file sharing sites for one reason or another.

If you need ideas, you can view the original montage video here

Closing Date: You have until the 4th July 2010 to submit your demo or video. It might seem like a long way off right now, but believe me, the time will go fast.

You can make as many submissions as you like, but please keep them in a single post, and please don't use this thread for commenting or questions. It should be submissions only. Also use file sharing services or locations which ensure your file will still be there on the 4th of July. Or obviously it wont be able to be included in the voting stage.

Discussion related to the Showreel, questions, suggestions, comments etc. and so on, should be done in this thread

Rules

Due to everyone uses different versions of construct, and compatibility issues which arise from that. Only compiled executables or videos are allowed. Video's are of course preferred over executables and naturally will ensure your submission looks exactly how you expect it to. Cap's will not be accepted due to the likelyhood of them not working correctly for others.

Do not submit executables of games or demo's which effect the users machine in any way, for example: those ridiculous games that delete files. Doing so will void all your submissions. It's not big, it's not clever, and it's been done so many times, it's not original or creative either. Megaman clones are more creative than those!

Only submissions included in this thread will be accepted. Your first post with it's submission(s) will be the one included, so place all your submissions within a single post. Further posts by the same user will be ignored, including anything submitted in them, (keeps the thread clean, and fair for everyone to be noticed equally).

Executables

• Include instructions on how to run your demo.
• Keep it short and to the point, stripping everything but the best bit you want to show off.
• Don't include the audio, it'll increase the size and wont be used in the showreel anyway.
• Do not submit harmful files.
• If your demo requires any special setup, consider submitting a video instead. The more complex it is to get your demo to run, the less likely it'll be usable.

Video

• Use any format, but note that it's up to you to ensure the format you use is usable by others.
• Record at 25fps at 720p HD resolution.
• Don't include intro's or audio on your video, it'll be stripped for the showreel.
• Keep it short and to the point.

Good luck, have fun!

Does it just appear not to select all the white? Or does it actually not select all the white?

If the latter, you should report a bug on the tracker.

Select from the poll, if it's not in the list, then mention it below (could only have 10 options, sorry).
