Community Photo Contributions
Always wanted to contribute to
Mechwarrior:Living Legends but didn't know how?
Want a chance to get an image of yourself in the game?
Do you have a digital camera and 2 minutes between rounds of MWLL?
Have a pic that is hotter than an alpha-striking Hawkmoth D on Inferno?
Then we need you!! (well your photos anyway)
The
MechWarrior: Living Legends development team is currently working on a set of assets that will be used as a crowd texture for an upcoming MWLL gamemode.
As a part of our development work on some specific models that are to feature prominently in that gamemode, we have decided to reach out to the community for submissions. The objective is to give our community members the chance to be one of the people in the crowd by having a photograph (or photograph's) of themselves become a part of the final crowd texture.
Submission details are as follows -
1. Each community member may provide one submission.
2. Each submission may consist of up to 3 individual images.
3. Each photograph can contain one person posing as desired, photo's containing more than 1 person must visibly show which is the one primary subject.
4. Photographs must follow and be inline with the types required in relation to posing, background etc (specifics of required image/photo types listed below)
5. No offensive images permitted. (this means nothing in "bad taste".. keep clothes on, no religious slogans etc)
6. Photographs may be altered or edited slightly in editting software, providing they meet the other entry requirements and still look like photographs.
7. Submissions will be selected based on the individuality and suitability for use of the images entered.
Send submissions via email to
KingLeerUK@mechlivinglegends.net as a simple attachment (no zip files). You may name the files any way you wish. Total file size attachment cannot exceed
4mb per email submission. By submitting an image to the MWLL team for this contribution effort you agree to its use within the
MechWarrior: Living Legends project release all stipulations on usage within that context.
DO NOT ATTACH FILES TO RESPONSES IN THE FORUMS.
Photo Details1. Photo's need to be full body shots of you or a consenting individual posing in one of the following ways -
- standing or sitting on a seat doing one or more of the following
- cheering
- waving arms
- pointing
- talking/in conversation
- eating
- drinking
- taking pictures/videos
- on the phone
- doing nothing
The image should have the subject facing the camera straight-on as in the attached example.
2. Images should be submitted in an image format that is readable by Photoshop CS3 keeping the file size under 1mb per photo at most. JPG, PNG, GIF
3. High detail is not required, but will help, as the final texture's resolution will reduce the level of detail showing on individuals in the crowd.
4. Where possible, photos should be taken using some form of "green screen background" or a background with as uniform and matte(not shiny or glossy) a colour as possible, for example a plain white wall or door. This is to maximise ease of use for the artists working with the image.
5. Wear the kind of clothes you would to a sporting event if possible in 1 or 2 of the images for your entry, team colours, scarves, hats etc.
We need a large number of submissions to satisfy our required texture diversity; with up to a possible 120 or more individual images required for compilation of the final texture. Due to the high number of possible submissions, it will not be possible for us to contact all selected image submitters individually, however announcements will be made on the forums and in our newsletter when applicable. On the plus side, there is a much greater chance of having your picture in the game!
