Win a Steam Key for DiRT Showdown - Eyefinity Wallpaper Cont

Post by **skipclarke** » 23 May 2012, 19:49

AMD was gracious enough to provide us with a handful of Steam keys for DiRT Showdown. All you've got to do is create an original Eyefinity wallpaper with a DiRT Showdown theme. Codemasters and AMD gave us some assets if you'd like to use them. Thumbnails are attached below, but you can get the files at:

Wallpapers should be 5760x1080 (3x1080p) in size, and must be DiRT Showdown themed. Entries will be accepted until June 10th, well vote on winners, and we'll announce the winners on June 15th. To enter, simply reply to this thread, and attach the file to the post.

(Edit: I'm late getting the announcement out in the newsletter, so I'm going to extend the deadline by a few days.)

DiRT Showdown launches tomorrow on May 23rd. There is a demo available on Steam - http://store.steampowered.com/app/201700

Thumbnails for the assets are listed below.

Good Luck to the GFX'er out there! Hope we'll see some amazing work.

You can always grab the demo and get your own screenshots. The full-sized pics are quite large, one measures 10k pixels wide.

jup. 10k. but if the aspec ratio doesnt fit..... well i have no knowledge for creating wallpapers...

But if someone tries to create Ingame Screenshots an 1920x1080 is to small

This tool worked fine for Dirt 2 and 3 up to 4k*2k gonna try it on Showdown tomorrow when demo finished downloading.

Edit: Dirt Showdown Steam Demo doesnt work!

Here is my submission.

I made it originally 5760x1200 because that's what my monitors are, but I also made a 5760x1080 version for the contest.

I also only used the provided assets because I assumed we had to use them and only them. If we can use our own screens I might try to grab a few later.

Here is the 5760x1080 Version for the actual contest

Here is the 5760x1200 Version for anyone who wants to use it.

Where did you attach your wallpapers to ? I can't find them.

Best viewed, on a 5760x1080 desktop resolution, in fullscreen, at full size.

I uploaded them via the file attachment feature on this site but for some reason they've been deleted and don't load anymore. Here they are again...

Hrm, weird! Testing works fine. Dunno how those attachments got lost.

I just noticed a problem with mine (missed graphical error) so if you've downloaded either version of my wallpaper prior to this post, redownload it. Sorry bout that.

Don't forget, you can always take screen grabs from the demo and then cut out elements to overlay on some abstract or patterned background...

Don't have photoshop on the new laptop, so I will hope to have time to work on something when I get home. For now I will see if I can come up with some kind of idea.

Rather than splicing standard images together to fill multiple screens I took one of the provided concept arts and made it wider and created new content. Of course took into account bezel positions thus why the image was shifted left to not have clipping.

Are we allowed to submit more than one wallpaper?

If we do, is only 1 of them counted in the contest (that seems fair to me)

Grizz · Post by **Grizz** » 31 May 2012, 16:57

it is all in fun and for our peeps to use :}
