pictureContest Spring 2009
========================================
•

It has been a few months of work we put into our props and poses - and now we're curious to see what creativity it sparks in you! So it's time for our first photo contest!

• First Prize: 5000L paid out to you directly, plus a 1500L gift card for (*chanimations
• Second Prize: 2500L paid out to you directly, plus a 1000L gift card for (*chanimations

Both Winners will be displayed with full credit to their work in our mainstore.


And as with everything, in the following 10 things you'll need to remember for your submissions:

RULES
-----------
1. You must use poses and props by (*chanimations. Of course you are not bound to using specific 'sets as they come in the box', mix and match any of our poses with any of our props you like - be creative!

2. Main focus must be SL imagery. Don't paste your AV into RL pictures please. Beyond that, all graphical styles and image themes are allowed! This includes as well nudity, we're all adults! Just keep in mind we'd like to display the winner in our store - so please keep it artistic!

3. Post-production with any graphic program on the image is allowed and encouraged, but of course also 'plain SL snapshots' can be submitted if you feel it works with your image concept!

4. MOST IMPORTANT: You are the creator of the artwork and hold full rights on the image! With submitting your pictures to the contest, you are granting (*chanimations the right to use it in connection to our store (like storeposter and to post it on our blog for example).


ENTRIES and DEADLINE
---------------------------------
5. No specific image formate is required, but it MUST be at least 1024x1024 pixels. (for everything that's extending to that, can be squared, portrait, landscape, panorama.... your call!)

6. You may submit up to TWO entries per person. Take your time and decide on your finals and don't submit more than those two. Changes on your selections can be made until deadline - not afterwards.

7. Submit your picture to our flickr pool at http://www.flickr.com/groups/chanimations - if it is needing 'restricted' flagging according to flickr ToS, please follow the link on the group page to our v18+ image pool.

8. Your work MUST be TAGGED with "(*chanimations pictureContest Spring 2009" otherwise it will not enter the contest (we will search by tag to see all submissions since there is other images in our pools as well).

9. Please list the items you used for your composition in your picture description.

10. Deadline for entries will be Monday, May 11th 2009 at noon (12pm SLT). Submissions after this time will not be valid anymore.



Have fun, and we're looking forward to see your creativity and your entries!

(*chanimations: Sourceress "FireRitual"

.

"Discover your true Power....."

•
======
-The Sourceress-
FireRitual
======
•



-The Sourceress- contains photography props and poses (or maybe it's even gonna become part of the ritual room for your RP character!) with the following properties:

3 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* energyFight,
• (* magicKneeling,
• (* magicKneeling (fist)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements, the second version of the magicKneeling is included so you can pick and choose if rather soft evocation or a more dramatic expression.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.


PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):
----------------------------------------------
• (* Sourceress "FireRitual" (no mod/no transfer)
• (* FireSkull (full) - left hand (no mod/no copy)
• (* FireSpell - right hand (no mod/no copy)

The Poseball comes in an unlinked group with the Sourceress FireRitual pentagram - so it shows as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting or rotating position of yourself or the model. Just make sure you have both components selected in edit mode when you intent to move it together!

The floor-pentagram is surrounded by sculpted skulls and candles and, if your light surrounding requires it, allows to turn on/off glow and lighting effects simply by clicking it. The candles are created with digitally drawn particle flames - no transparency halos or unreal-looking fire but exactly what you'd expect to see!

The hand-attachments come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz it instead and position it.

Depending on your personal taste or light surrounding, you can touch the skull to give some extra 'fire'. Touching it again will turn light and glow off. As well it reacts on /1 show skull and /1 hide skull to offer you more variety in the picture. Touch is as well active on the FireSpell for the other hand - only there's nothing to hide but some neat effects to explore! (It does require for at least 'basic shaders' and 'nearby local lights' being enabled in preferences - 'at least' cause Windlight is obviously more picture taking fun ;-) )

Last but not least as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun!


------------------------------------
Would you like to stop by in world?

You'll find us at Abraham/120/160/30 if you are interested in single poses only or to preview the poses on your avartar!

(*chanimations: Sourceress "Summon&Spells"

-The Sourceress- contains photography props and poses (or maybe it's even gonna become part of the ritual room for your RP character!) with the following properties:

2 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* Sourceress,
• (* WaterMagic (spreadFingers)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements. (The pack includes the poses as single animations and of course used in the poseballs of the Spell)


PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):
----------------------------------------------
• (*chanimations Sourceress Spell (no mod/no transfer)
• (* Sourceress particles for both hands (no mod/no copy)

The Poseball reacts on /1 show and /1 hide, and contains both poses - you toggle between them with pageUp/pageDown. It comes in an unlinked group with the Sourceress Spell - so it shows as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting or rotating position of yourself or the model. Just make sure you have both components selected in edit mode when you intent to move it together!

The Spell offers you a few options - you can use it plain as floor-pentagram surrounded by skulls and candles (as the small picture on the poster shows), or you can add some extra-magic via chat command:

/1 show sphere
/1 hide sphere
(that's the upper picture on the poster!)

and
/1 show beams
/1 hide beams

If your light surrounding requires it, you can turn glow/fullbright/light of the floor-pentagram on and off by clicking it.

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun!
