Just note guys: Make sure your .PNG format is 8 bit not 16 bit before you could submit your final. You can convert that inside Photoshop or After effect or any photo-manipulation software of your preference.
I didn't see this post until now, i hope its fine that i uploaded my images to my private server, nobody sees that files but you and me. I hope I'm not off the contest, because i worked really hard on this.... (i uploaded 8 bits PNG in my thread)
Why they come up with this strange conditions, why 8bit? Don't they want good quality images? I'm confused.. An why is there a winner yet? I'm new here but i don't understand, they say that winner will be announced 30 day, today is 31, and it's almost midday, and still no news....
yes 3dshark...that's it! is just a matter of knowledge that somehow working witk images should have! =P most part of contestants didn't had this problem....anyway things are gone this way,doesn't matter....this has been a great challenge for everyone and a nice oppotunity to learn new things...so i'm satisfied...
There's nothing better than staring at a product you modeled on a screen getting into production and coming to reality.
For all those that don't know to much about photoshop.
There is a adjustment layer that is called posterize, what it deos is that it reduce the ammount of colors into the image.
You can reduce the amount of the colors to make the image smaller and not lose quality. That way you can make images under 3mb.
Final images should be under 3mb? In my image there are very mach color, if i make my image under 3mb image quality suffers very much.....If I make export it from photoshop for web and devices as you say, still, my image is 3.5mb and quality suffers very much, i don't know what to do....... I read somewhere that final date is changed, now it's 2011 11 07, i do not know is it true...
no i don't believe....but now u can upload bigger files...they gave 30th to upload bigger images as they removed the limit....so..upload urs as feel better!

If you rendered or export image files that is in .PNG format rather if its 16 or 24 bit. The solution is
Photoshop: In the menu, click on image, then mode, check mark to 8bits instead of 16, it will not change color, degrade quality but reduce size, omit transparency and other features.
did anyone saw that there's a mistake in the contest's name? haha...anyway u're right guys! i rendered a tiff at 32-bit at 2500x1500 (about) and it was around 10 mb out of MR....the same for occlusion pass....but no problems with 3 MB limit!
