March 1st, 2016?

It's correct on the forum thread-  the deadline is May 25th, 2016.

Alright I see that. But it still says March 1st, 2016 on the news article. Should I ignore that or be concerned about it? Anyways looking forward to this.

Ignore it. It's incorrect.

• Artwork must be a minimum of 1900x1200 pixels in size. The larger, the better! Ideally, your work should look good on all resolutions.

Min. 1440p, pls?

I'll re-enter these just for fun.

 

Note: These images use my Custom Concept/hand-made images from a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. All pictures dimensions are 3840x2160.

So seeing as how the Jedi Knight series (and I guess STAR WARS, in general) is about 2 factions; The Jedi and Sith (The Light Side and The Dark Side of the Force), I thought it might be an idea to throw in each faction's moral codes, as wallpapers. Obviously, all of these files are pulled from the web. But at least it gives you a general idea of what to work with. And of course, I'm sure you'll have your own ways of creating wallpapers of your own with them..

Fixed.

I just want to point out that this kind of image wouldn't fit the contest rules because it doesn't contain anything about the Jedi Knight series. Also having words on our background is not a good idea...

Min. 1440p, pls?

No. Unfortunately this is something I have to put as a strong requirement - there's quite a lot of users that run higher than 1440p (although I am not one of them) and it'd be better to not see any stretching or pixelation.

I can't think of how you'd be able to take a screenshot ingame that's larger than your desktop resolution.

DSR / VSR (virtual resolutions) on nVidia / AMD. Recent driver updates from both manufactures made it possible. I'm able to take 4K screenshots although I have 1080p and 1440p monitors.

Just open client in non-fullscreen mode with gigantic resolution and then take screenshot?

I would say that would look something like this

 

 

 

I still have my folder from last time too.

Are these ones that you've made? There can only be three that are submitted.

Yay, 4K!

Like the first one, looks epic.

I think some were mine and some were @@SiLink's. I'll enter the only good one of mine then. Maybe he'll come submit a few of his.

 

 

 

Yey, another possibility to make another background. I wanted to "remake" a jka map (for rend2) for that contest but had to much work to do. Now there is another chance.

Is an iray render of a map ok for that contest? Something like that:

 

 

Haven't chosen a map to "remake" though. Wishes?

@@Circa These are the one's I like the look of..

 

 

*Note*
The first and third images being by far the best one's..

*Personal note*
Does my fucking head in, when it comes up and says "An error occurred. You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." What sort of horse-shit is this?!

My first submission, if rendered stuff is ok. This is rendered with iray in substance painter 2. I took the original textures and added roughness, metallnes and normal maps. The only texture i replaced is the sand.

 

 

@@SomaZ, sure, that seems okay.

somethink like dat??

 

 

@@yeyo JK - wow, that is a beautiful sky box. Or is this picture photoshopped?

i made it! with one skybox pack from internet photoshopped..., remaking colors, levels and shadows to use in that alzoc map! It looks MUCH better than the original one
