It might just be me but a lot of the signatures seem low quality and blurry. Blades' for example seems rather small and very low quality compared to his other work. Or maybe the effect was intended in all these sigs, I don't know haha.

Definitely a lot of talent in this competition. I won't put names down, but some sigs scream try-hard. And by that, I mean they over-complicate the piece and it just seems like the effect is there solely to be there and doesn't contribute to the whole art.

Looks like i loose. Again. :rolleyes:

Maybe i would've stood a chance if the theme was Starcraft or something else.

Bah i guess i should just be content with pwning you guys in SC2 when i get there. :p

Don't lose faith yet. It is still pretty close. ;D

@Myzteryz: Try looking for a quality mythical god render :D It is tough, I've yet to find one. =P

Um, excuse me. My sig is supposed to look like this:

<<ORIGINAL

Why is it JPEG ARTIFACT-y???

I dont know, but it sorta looks different..
And no, I wouldnt cheat by changing my sig now.
With JPEG compression, color blends look like bad.
In competitions like these, every pixel makes a difference.
I demand justice for all our sigs.

Everybody upload the ORIGINALS please.

Photobucket doesnt. Isnt that... idk.. unfair? I mean the quality of my sig was affected.

I think they all were. I know dropbox.net gives 2gigs free space, easily managed, better client, and can hotlink any image type that a forum supports (so they would all be the originals posted, no compressing or converting).

Apparently tastes have changed during my absence from the Graphics forum.

Gollumcha is leading with a 10 against my 4. :rolleyes:

Oh i get it. You guys hope to eliminate me during a difficult theme so that i can't come up with something awesome at the next (and hopefully easier) theme. You sly dogs you. :rolleyes:

You know, I only joined this on a spur of the moment. I thought, why the hell not? This is my first sig EVER and it is even more so pathetic because I'm going on to round 2.

It seems to, overall, be a very close competition. I know mine and Purge's seem to always be on equal votes :p

Are you? You're losing 18-1 to pineapple. :p

That's why I said it's pathetic, I'm going on by default. I'll be sure to look up better ways of doing things for the next one.

I finally voted. Seems like it's not just me that's seeing some low-quality (literally) images. For example, is Whitesock's sig supposed to be like that? It looks like it got spit out by a GIF maker and back into a jpeg.

By the way, for future consideration, it might be better to seed competitors so it ends up with the top artists at the finals. Looks like a lot of good ones are going to be eliminated in the first round.

    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
