Gallery images rearanged?
- Thread starter Lyne
- Start date
The Monthly Gallery images have to be submitted through the Submit to the Monthly Gallery link which appears at the bottom of the HiveWire 3D Main page as well as the Store pages.
While the images hadn't yet been added to the Monthly Galleries, the Reward Points lists for each month had been sent to Lisa. March, April, and May submissions were added today to the March Monthly Gallery.
Sorry for any confusion, Lyne!

Oh nice, I see one of mine in the March gallery!
A Question: Could someone explain to me if I have the correct understanding for the different classifications of the media galleries?
From what I understand there are two types of galleries;
1) User Media galleries
2) The Hivewire galleries
For The User Media Galleries
You can have three types; Public, Members & Private
To go into the Hivewire galleries you need to make a submission to the monthly galleries and then the CVBees make a decision on whether to accept your entry.
If your image gets accepted you also earn Reward Points.

- If we post to our Public Gallery anyone visiting Hivewire can view it.
- For our Members Gallery only logged in members can view it.
- For our Private Gallery only the user can view it.

As far as I can tell, you pretty much understand what the different galleries are all about.
The only things I would comment on are, the Private Galleries members create can have more than just the creator of the gallery viewing it. IOW, if you want to create a gallery to show specific people what you're working on, you create it, and add the others as having permission to view it. I haven't done it myself since last year, so don't recall the absolute specifics, but you can have a private gallery with more than one member viewing it. It just wouldn't be available for public viewing by all members.
OK, I just thought of something, and that is, I may have been able to do so because I am a CV-Bee, so someone who isn't a CV-Bee who has created a Private gallery specific other members can view would confirm that's possible, then you'll have your answer as far as that goes.
The only other thing I'd like to comment on is the HiveWire galleries. The CV-Bees as a group don't make a decision on whether to accept an entry, in fact, I'm not sure exactly who does make that decision, as I've never uploaded anything for inclusion in the HiveWire monthly galleries. Perhaps someone else can add further information about this.

Monthly Gallery Submissions
Unless an entry submitted to the HiveWire 3D Monthly Galleries is in violation of the Terms of Service (TOS), it will more than likely be chosen to be in the Monthly Gallery. If your image is chosen to be in the Monthly Gallery, you will earn 500 reward points for one image or a total of 1,000 points for two or more images. However, you are not limited to submitting only two images. You are also not limited to using content from HiveWire 3D.
If an image is questionable or there are more submissions than the monthly limit, Chris and Lisa determine whether an image will be in the Monthly Gallery. To be honest, I don't know what or if there is a limit to the total number of entries that will be included in a Monthly Gallery. As the CV-Bee responsible for posting images to the Monthly Gallery, I may ask Chris or Lisa to review an entry, but I don't otherwise determine whether to accept an entry or not.
Recently, there haven't been a lot of images submitted to the Monthly Galleries, so I've been combining months. Wouldn't it be cool to see whether there is a limit to the number of entries allowed in a Monthly Gallery? Keep in mind you are not excluded from submitting an image to the Monthly Gallery because it was posted elsewhere or entered into a contest, although, some contests may request you not post your entry elsewhere until after the contest ends.
Hall of Fame Gallery
Periodically, Chris will select images from the Monthly Galleries to be included in the Hall of Fame Gallery. As noted, you will receive 2,500 reward points for an image chosen for the Hall of Fame Gallery. It's way freaking cool to have an image chosen by Chris!
Contest and Render Challenge Galleries
In addition, there are the contest and render challenge galleries.

In addition, there are the contest and render challenge galleries.
- Entries for contests are posted through a submission page. The link for the contest submission page will be in the announcement post for the contest. Contest judges are selected by the contest owner.
- Entries for render challenges are posted in the challenge topic on the forums and are judged by volunteers from the CV-Bees.
