================================================
FH2 T-SHIRT COMPETITION
================================================

You are invited to take part in the very awesome FH2 T-Shirt competition, the winner of this competition will win a copy of their design printed onto a T-Shirt, the winning entry will be voted for by forum readers and the design made publicly available at the cost of -TBC-in ROUND 2.

The following wall of text may look like a TL;DR - Seriously grab some coffee and read it all, it's there to help you.

ROUND 1:
============
The closing date for submitting your t-shirt designs to ROUND 1 is 29th JUNE 2010!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROUND 1 is the ideas stage when noobs and pros can band about ideas, you might not be a genius with Photoshop, MS paint jobs are still acceptable, it could be that the scribble you did on the back of your hand evolves into the most awesome t-shirt since '3 wolf moon'.


RULES:
============
You may submit up to three different designs to ROUND 1.
You may be asked to resubmit your design(s) with modifications, please don't post your changes until ROUND 2 starts. EDIT 01/06/10 - changed my mind about this, it was purely so I could keep track of all designs, but I will just have to do a little more work keeping tabs on everything - feel free to post amends in Round 1.
Keep off-topic spam in this thread to a minimum please, this does not mean you can't discuss each others work here.
Whilst SLEEVE printing looks Uber, just concentrate on the front &/or reverse of the T-Shirt, sleeve printing costs more, in order to keep this T-Shirt within a very cheap price range please refrain from sleeve decals/ designs.
A MAXIMUM of 4000px X 4000px design, if you are designing larger than this a) wtf? b) Your image will be reduced and this may impare the quality of your design.
A MINIMUM of 50px X 50px.


PLEASE NOTE
================
In order to prep a winning design for it's final t-shirt print it may need some tinkering with, so please save any artwork files you create.


WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
========================
There will then follow a ROUND 2 whereby any modified designs will be resubmitted. SEE EDIT ABOVE
In the FINAL ROUND a short list of 3 designs will go head to head in a smack-down for who's created the most smokin' hot T-Shirt.

The winning design will be made available to other forum readers for the price of -TBC in ROUND 2-.

[:| Hi]

Bricks shall be shat...


Also, funny article! Definitely figure on trying it out.

 How do I take screenshots ingame as liek a camera? No playermodel or nothin

If there is freecam, use that, if not, you have to switch between weapons.  There is a split second the moment you change when there is nothing on the screen.
Also, put 'renderer.drawhud 0' into the console.

Is there any chance for FH2 fans to buy the winner shirt, too? Not that I would wear it for a first date, but a great FH2 t-shirt would be extremely awesome, people would sh*t bricks as they see it, instantly download FH2 and our player count would go up the sky!

Ah, yes, it seems I missed that part, sorry about that.
Do you have any clue so far what the approximate price will be including shipping, etc?

@Homer, I'll be announcing the price of the t-shirt in the next round when we get serious about the designs.  I have 3 printers ready, they are all very reasonably priced, but the deciding factor on who to choose is going to be the winning design itself.  This is because there are two different types of printing, screen printing and direct transfer.  Screen printing basically lasts ...well forever but it does not allow you to print photographs or screenprints from in game, direct transfer uses a heat transfer which allows pretty much anything to go onto a shirt, however, with this method the quality deteriorates over time and small cracks appear in the design (after about 80 washes or so).

So yes the winner will have his/her design open to the public to buy, but I can't confirm a price just yet, but let me reassure all of you I will make it as cheap as I can  with postage and packaging in mind.

[Cory the Otter]

Hell,  yeah!  I'm going to start right away!
Also, smallie biggs, check your pms!

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

Doesn't work so well with MsPaint  but you get the point ...

[Cory the Otter]

Where can I have the flag backgrounds like in the playermodel renderimages?

like this http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/6/5480/090704USSoldier1.jpg

It would be very much appreciated if anyone has just a plain version of that without the playermodels in it

It's not the same image but this one suits best for art design since it has no flat boundries. (the white part can easily be painted the corresponding colour in MS Paint)
Might wanna tilt it to the left (the right side upwards) a bit and/or darken it.

[Cory the Otter]

Thanks, But I wanted to use a period flag design and use FH2's because I think it would look better for what I am planning.

Logo only with Camo Pattern kicks ass:
