No it can be whatever size you want as long as it's smaller than the size stated. I would recommend not going smaller than 1000 x 1000 just to give yourself a chance to show to the best advantage though.

Thanks Pen, I do have problems when its too big so normally render around 600x480 for a complex scene and thought that would be too small :)

No...your images are normally great and if that's the size you're doing them that's fine. The larger sizes have the advantage of giving more detail but that isn't always the way to go. I know some people have restrictions on size due to computer capability. I wouldn't want that to stop anyone from entering...

phew, to get it a decent size I had to render this as 3 separate renders and combine it in Photoshop due to stupid small computer (nothing else done except layer the 3 renders, no colour correction etc) rendered in Iray (around 2+ hours for each render).

First time I've played with depth of field inside of Daz, I think it turned out ok. :p

Well worth the effort Rae! What a lovely render...I love the way you posed Dawn and Dusk. Lovely sense of closeness...

Hi Luane, I really love both of these renders and I hate having to say this, but unfortunately they don't meet the guidelines.

See below taken from first post:
  • Minimum of Dawn and Dusk and one other HiveWire figure (including Luna and Harry the HiveWire Horse)
The renders need to have both Dawn and Dusk....I'm so sorry!

Uh oh, I guess I didn't read all the specs carefully enough. Sorry. Disregard. Feel free to delete them, as I don't seem to see where I can delete them on my end.

Er, how can it be "blind judging" when we see the finished render POSTED BY THE ARTIST? *confused* Can there be a gallery where someone in charge can "recveve them somehow and then could upload them FOR US to the render challenge GALLEY ?
