Rules for the Cardmodel.cn Cardmodel Competition:
Translated version revised on 30 Jan 2008
The model to enter the competition must be an original copy of a commercial model, or a model freely available on the internet, i.e. no pirate models/scans allowed. All entries must provide a photo of the model's cover page taken with the modeler, or a download link to the free model. Any pirate copies/scans will be disqualified immediately. For original designs, if the mesh is not modeled by the author, a link to the source must be provided, if the mesh is original, then the modeler must provide screenshots of the modeling process. Participants are allowed multiple entries to DIFFERENT categories, but completion of every entry is required.
------------
To enter the competition, the modeler must post photos, both during the model's building process and after completion, to relevant sections of the forum (cardmodel.cn). The scale cube provided with the forum must be used ( http://www.cardmodel.cn/viewthread.php?tid=387 )
The dimensions of in-progress photos must be larger than 600x400, but does not exceed 1024x768. Photos must be sharp, blurry pictures taken by webcams are not accepted. Use of digital camera is recommended, although webcams and mobile phones are also allowed for those without a DC.
When taking a photo, the model must be properly supported and with adequate lighting, in order to produce photos of maximum quality.
The dimensions of photos for the completed model must not be below 1024x768, but not too large either (i.e., below 2048x1526). Photos must be sharp. 8-12 photos of the building process, 4 photos of the entire completed model, and more than 6 photos on the model's details are required (number varies according to the size of the model). Adjusting the brightness and contrast of the photos are allowed, but otherwise, photoshopping or any other severe modifications to the final effect of the picture are considered cheating and is banned.
