Character Art Submission Guide

All finished projects are required to be published on the itch.io platform and submitted to the Search For A Star 3D Character Art Challenge 2018 by 28th January 2018 at 11:59 PM GMT

You must join the SFAS Character Art page to take part : https://itch.io/jam/search-for-a-star-3d-character-art-challenge-2018

We advise that you set up a draft of your project page ahead of the deadline. To create your art project page, go to your itch.io Dashboard and select the ‘Upload New Project’ option.

Complete the submission form, in line with itch.io’s Quality Guidelines

Set Title to the name of your asset pack
- This should be a name or description for your character, rather than a general project title or description of the project.
- A good title does not need to include any reference to Search For A Star, Rising Star or your own name.

Set Classification to ‘game assets’.
Set Kind of project to ‘Downloadable’.
For Release State, choose an option that best describes your project, even if ‘prototype’ or ‘in development’.
Set pricing to ‘Disable all payments’ - You can change this once all projects have been marked by the judges, if you wish.

Upload your project files as a zip file, exported from UE4 (Package project > Zip)
- Your project file should contain your final project model, either posed or unposed.
Upload a separate project PDF containing your intro, pre-production work, summation and any additional production documentation.

Include the following on your project page:
- A cover image
- Your four posed key screens as the screenshots
- Sketchfab render(s) of your character model (either as embedded or linked)
- (optional) Video content of your model.

The ‘Description’ text box should contain a copy of your written intro & final written summation from your documentation, as well as your embeds/links to the Sketchfab renders. It may contain further documentation if you choose.

When your project is complete, set ‘Visibility & Access Settings’ to ‘Public’.
- To prevent your project showing up in public listings, choose the option for ‘Unlisted in search & browse’.

To submit your project, return to the Search For A Star 2018 page and press the ‘Submit your jam’ button

Select your finished project, fill in your name and challenge tier details and press ‘Submit’.

If you have any issues with the submission process or want to clarify anything, let me know either at dan@gradsingames.com or ask on the Grads In Games Discord : https://discord.gg/7ppfTnT

Please note that there is no ‘fail’ or ‘disqualification’ criteria. Do what you can & submit what you are able to. Even unfinished pieces and works in progress can be valuable.
