What are stock and render?

Those are the images used in the banner...


Like for my banner, Pink is a stock.. But the C4D's I used are also stocks...

A stock is an image you start with, like this one.

Spoiler:

Also a generic name for any image you use in the making of a banner.

A render is what you get when you cut the focal out of something like the above image. In this case, you get this picture.

Spoiler:

Loads of good renders can be found here to help you with making graphics.

Nope. no no nonononononononoonnoonononono.
A STOCK WILL NEVER BE A RENDER. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR SKULLS.

A RENDER is something that you RENDERize in a program such as C4D, Bryce. You probably also confuse renders with C4Ds. C4D IS A PROGRAM, NOT AN OBJECT YOU CREATE.

Now I'm even more confuzzled. 'cos when it says 'post your stock' in the SOTW rules, it seems to mean 'post your render'. So maybe renders are stocks, but not all stocks are renders?

I think colour me evil just explained it pretty well.. :3

She even gave examples.. :3

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

No, that's just people not using the right terminology.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

OIC. That actually clears up a lot of confusion I had as to what I had to link to et al. Thank you.

 

[Angela]

I R be Icelandic I R cant use right terminology... *Cries* ;;

I can't believe most members here are that confined to making tags with characters that when the theme abstract comes up, even for just one week, they can't refrain from using a stock of one.
It won't be hard for me to vote, if I do.

 

[Angela]

We are using the WHOLE sens of Abstract. Usualy people who makes abstract is use of Smudging, C4d, texts or Brushes. But we allow renders... :þ

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

But we allow renders... :þ

oh ho ho, so funny.

when does this theme even end?

 

[Angela]

oh ho ho, so funny.

when does this theme even end?

It will end 4th of November...

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Yeah, using renders and so on in abstract banners seemed a bit funny to me as well . . . but I guess I'm not the one making the rules.

don't you get that sort of thing in most banners, though?

Yeah I guess you do.... Post number 2000

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Hmm. I just decided to play it safe with my incredibly complex, fascinatingly abstract banner. *nod nod* XD

Almost 2000th post XDE

O+<

The what sense? When you linked to this definition of abstract you then decided to twist its meaning.

 

[Angela]

No i just took what the person in my profile said was the short version of the definition.. :3

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Maybe instead of linking to a widely interpretable source for the definition, you could state your understanding of that definition and set that as the parameters. Because we all obviously have different ideas of what the concept of 'abstract' means.

 

[Angela]

But, I would rather listen to the person who picked the theme.. Why don't we all just get Let's Get Lost together to comment on this?

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Oh yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. I forgot that you didn't pick the theme.

 

[Mr. Epic]

I see where your coming from Angela, his name is Hiiro now btw.
And err... Misheard Whisper, could you stop with the large purple text please, its far from good looking and its really annoying? Thanks.
