The Eorzean Interior Design Contest (EU) - Discussion/Practice Thread

So on this "One (1) entry per category." does this mean housing sizes? For example if I enter my personal medium plot, I can still submit a small I share with a friend and my FC room?

Anyway i saw many entries in the contest that used zoomed out/in or angled point of views that would be "difficult" to reach without group pose or idle camera... Are they gonna reject all these entries?
It would be quite controversial to enter in such arguments... It not like using group pose o idle camera to zoom a little leave any kind of track or metadata etc..

I am not suggesting of cheating, but i would like to understand the meaning of such a rule. Maybe they only want us to not use fancy filter or effect that group pose offer.

As a lalafell it was very hard to take screenshots cos of how short we are. I figured out to do it in first person view and then do a jump and then immediately click screenshot capture to get that high angle shot lol. It was the only way I could do it without gpose or icam

For your medium, I think you'd still need to show all floors as it was stated in the rules:

Quote:

---

Take screenshots (“Screenshots”) of your estate, including all the floors within the estate.
Take the following number of Screenshots featuring your favorite aspects of your estate:
Medium and Large Plots: Entries must include exactly six (6) Screenshots and the first floor, second floor, and basement need to be showcased.

I think per category is the housing size. I entered for large and apartment. As long as you only do 1 entry for each, and not more for the same housing size.

How do you take screenshots without HUD elements without /gpose? I’m on PS4. I also assume you must use first-person to remove yourself from the image?

In KEYBIND, under MOVEMENT, i added a button shortcut to toggle between 1st & 3rd person mode. I assume there should be a shortcut for PS4 too?

If they are both small size, then you can only submit 1 entry for one of them, because they are both under the same category

Thank you.

Do we have to upload the screenshots through Lodestone, or can we use an external image hosting website to avoid forced resizing?

Sorry, please help me remove this post. I'm using wrong pictures with /gpose. ><

Upload Lodestone is better than external hosting website, even Lodestone will resize the image.

Because large image take long time to download, and external hosting website may even take longer time or acting unstable.

Of course you can choose any option other than Lodestone, but you also need to take your own risk.

If you don't want any accident for your entry, Lodestone would be your best choice.

how do you attach photos from ps4? is it possible?

Either is fine as long as they allow the images to be linked from a 3rd party site.

I don't know if it's easier with a keyboard/mouse attachment, but using a controller was an over complicated mess. I would highly recommend using a computer to at least make the post on the forums.

With how incredibly small the Lodestone pictures are, I'm willing to take the minuscule risk of something going wrong with a website I've been using for years without issues.

That's exactly what I'm asking. While it's not technically specified that we have to use Lodestone, there's no mention of 3rd party websites either. With all the already existing limitations, I'd like some CR clarification in case they want everybody uploading pictures in the same size range or something.
