RenderHub "NO AI" Logo Design Contest (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

No, there aren't any specific size requirements. 1200x1200 would work.
But from what I've seen for other submissions on various contests, at least 1600px seems to display nicely.

Thanks for your interest in the contest!

Hi there. The owner set this one for 30 days and the Fashion Contest set for 90 days.
It's most likely because the other one is more technically demanding than this one.
I don't think he was planning to extend the time, but I'll ask.
Thanks for your interest in the contest!

Thanks for reading. Yeah pls ask.

Foxy 3D,

Have you had time to ask?
Pls ask for both competitions.

@Need2Sleep - I did receive an answer on this.

Sorry, but the time will not be extended for either contest, and there is a reason...
The contest deadline *was* extended for a previous contest once, and some participants were not very happy.
They felt it was unfair because they were working on an already-established deadline that was changed after the fact.
I'm sorry about that, but I hope you can understand the problems that may cause.

OK. I hope i get it finished on time.
Thanks for asking!

I was thinking, maybe the next contests can be split into a render and a 3d making.
One render contest and one 3d design or making contest.
Like that everybody can getting involved and the contest rules are more clear that way too.
Just split the price money in half. It's a hue amount anyway, and we don't want the owner to get backrupt.

Sure thing. Sorry it wasn't the answer you were looking for.
FYI - RenderHub does have render contests that allow for a more even playing field.
There have been three recently, and I'm sure you'll see more coming up.

Greetings! It is perfectly acceptable to use Illustrator in the design phase, like this entry:
https://www.renderhub.com/forum/3955/no-ai-logo-design

However, the final logo must be a "NO AI 3D model".

Is it "really necessary for a logo?" - No, but the owner did want to keep this with a 3D theme and see how creative people could get.

From the Sexy Robot Contest, it looks like you can get really creative.
Congratulations on being selected as an Honorable Mention!

Hmm... Chances are high that I'll miss this contest. In addition, the logo to which you gave a link, the design is a bit the same as mine. I don't want it to look like copying someone else's work.
Thanks for your reply and congratulations.

I think when you see it, you doubtfully agree.

I see the similarity, but yours is definitely unique.
I don't see a problem, so I hope you will consider entering.

I'll try to make time for this. But there are a lot of things that still require attention. I hope I go crazy from lack of sleep. =)

Hi there! That's a good question to ask, to plan for formatting. No, the owner did not plan to do that.
Since the current location for the NO AI logo is so small, we wouldn't know ahead of time if the winner would look good, or clear, that small.
A square format would probably look best wherever it may appear.

Thanks for your interest in the contest!

Hi there. Per the official rules:

Contest Details:
"...creating a NO AI 3D model and rendering an amazing image."
"You can have fun with a creative scene, but the focus should be on your NO AI logo."

Deliverables:
"WIP images and a final rendered image of your NO AI 3D logo creation."

https://www.renderhub.com/3d-contests/no-ai-logo-design-contest

You *can* use the provided 3D model as a starting point if you want to, but you don't have to.

"...go ahead and use it as-is, modify it if you want, and texture it any way you want."

Yeah, I think the owner had envisioned a "wall of NO AI logos" like was seen on ArtStation during the protest.
Except encouraged by the platform, rather than suppressed...

Your entry is pretty fun and creative. Thanks for participating!

Yeah, things got pretty wild there.

About this, could the NoAI tag be automatically added to prevent access to AI software as has already been done on other platforms such as Devianart?
I don't know if adding the tag works here yet, but adding it one by one is a nightmare anyway...

@vixcosmen - It certainly could be - and it already is.

Meta robots "noai" and "noimageai" tags are automatically added to every page of the website by default.
Vendors and artists do not need to opt-in, add their own tags, or do anything at all.

I can't include an image in the sub-reply here, so I'll show some examples in a post below.

I was going to check it right now and I saw your message, I didn't know if it was implemented or not, thank you very much foxy :)

You're welcome. I'm happy to assist!

I think some people were hesitant to be judges if their contact info was posted for this one, for fear of being attacked by crazies on social media. The owner decided to not post them this time.

Yes, they are supposed to be posted today. I have not heard anything yet.

I just got off the phone with the owner. We should hopefully see the results posted by tomorrow.

The owner spent it all in Vegas on chips and tips. With judges ofc.

I just got off the phone with the owner. We should hopefully see the results posted by tomorrow.

LOL @Design Heretic

I love how the community and admins are relaxed on RenderHub. On ''other'' sites I would be banned from forums for month at least.

@Design Heretic - Very true! And I think I can speak for RenderHub on this being the "other way around", too...
Other sites might be "banned" by the users for being late announcing the winners of a contest.

I just posted an update below. Winners will be announced today.
Results will be posted here: https://www.renderhub.com/3d-contests/no-ai-logo-design-contest

Agree. It's my first time participating in the contest and the way everything is organized looks strange.

Agreed, first time participating as well. Hopefully nothing catastrophic happened to the sponsor of this contest, no illness or injury.

I still do think that the owner has good intentions. But pls don't change the rules while the contest is running. Which happened since i am here twice. Maybe it is best to have one 3d make and one render contest each during two months so 60 days. Then everybody , beginner and advanced can participate without stress.

And this has to do with the shop and also against ai:
Maybe it is a good idea to have a starters program for beginners who wants to make a freebee or to start a shop. Because the freebees I wanted to use were corupted. We don't want AI, so we need all to help each other, being a real community, instead of merchants push us to generations we don't want, merchants who push us to dforce, which is often to time cnsuming, decide way to huge prices and a give us only boring repetetion outfits generation over generation. Ai can make free pictures!! Why should the next generation bother to learn all those programs, buy all those expensive props, hdri, clothes, characters? 3D community really has to learn to be a nice community and has to step their game!

I just posted an update below, with an explanation for the delay.
And... I was told that winners will be announced today.
On behalf of RenderHub, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience.

We can all agree to that, but we also see a patern of changing the contest rules. I have made renders who after entering felt off, because afterwards the rules changed. It happed 2x since I joined this site. Those renders I could also have sold to my clients.

@UnifiedBrain - Daz Studio, Renderosity , and ArtStation often have contests or challenges if you are interested in participating.

No the prizes are not cash, but you get prizes and they are on time. Foxy has done a wonderful job of keeping us updated.

@UnifiedBrain -

"...I hope that the owner sees the worth in continuing..."

Yes, he does. There is a long list of themes for future contests, and we're looking for ideas and feedback from the community, too.
If you care to throw in some contest ideas, I started a thread here:
https://www.renderhub.com/forum/4050/renderhub-contest-ideas-share-your-thoughts

"...Hopefully the entire process will get smoother over time..."

I totally agree. I'm pretty much the only "public admin" here, so I am the liaison between the community and the owner.
I give the owner the rundown of the good and bad - so hopefully, RenderHub as a whole can just keep getting better.

And thank you very much for the kind words. We try really hard to make RenderHub a fun and friendly place.

@Need2Sleep -

Can you please let me know which contests had the rules changed? I don't recall that happening.
When I create the contest announcement forum posts, I take the info from the official rules.
And when I answer people's questions about the contests, I usually "direct quote" the rules and link to the page.
I do this so I don't inadvertently mislead people or give them the wrong information.

As far as I know, rules have been *clarified* - but not substantially changed from the original announcement.
Just let me know, and I'll be happy to look into it and discuss it with the owner.

Yes. I can. I have printscreens!

the sexy robot. bla bla.3x These characters should be mostly robot and all sexy, nudity is alowed, but keepiing things to imagination lilely serve you well in this contest. Good luck!
It became: bla 5x You robot should be an original character you create. Good luck!
So from a rendering contest it became a making 3d contest.

The no AI contest: first i said create an amasing design for the contest and you can also offer it as an downloadable item to spread the word.
It became: Seand a clear message by creating a no AI 3d model and rendering an amazing image.
Here too. The first description alows a design, while thesecond tells you to make it 3d!

@Need2Sleep - We aren't able to add images to a sub-reply, so I posted a response for you below.

Thank you for the kind words. I try to help as much as I can.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes a wireframe was always needed.
But as you can see at my senteces written from the first announcing of the contests. :
These characters should be mostly robot and all sexy, nudity is alowed, but keepiing things to imagination lilely serve you well in this contest. Good luck!
-This also can mean make your own character from a existing DAZ3D character, by aplying other eys, skin, morphs etc.

The change after the update of announcement: bla 5x You robot should be an original character you create. Good luck!
That means making a robots from scratch, a 3d cube!

Same happened here: By the NOAI contest:
first i said create an amasing design for the contest and you can also offer it as an downloadable item to spread the word.
That can mean you make your logo, and put it as texture on a 3d shirt and render it.

While it became after the announcement update:
Send a clear message by creating a no AI 3d model and rendering an amazing image.
Which mean the logo it self had to be a 3d model.

The winter contest before those wto contests , was just a 3D render contest! Not a 3d making contest.
And again I am not making this up, I have the print screens.

So i had to look at the forum posts from people, to see what the contest was all about. Sorry but that does not make sense.

"I'm sorry if you misunderstood those contests." Then tell my why the first robots renders were almost all daz3D existing characters/ robots? I was not the only one!

Look i am happy with the site. You are doing a fine job as moderator.
As you can see at my original posts I did not have issues with the wait. I even offered solutions.
But pls. Make those contests rules better

OMG i still don't believe i got an honorable mention! Thanks Foxy!
I'm so happy !

I was a good render.
Congrats.

Thanks @olAna!
