Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED] Toy Line/Class: you must choose a terminal cat...

November 22, 2010, 09:47:24 AM

More like a note than an error.

I accidently moved Deluxe Optimus Prime Earth Mode from the Family Mart Raffle category into the 'Keitai Strap' category.  I was not able to move him back to the root of "Family Mart Raffle" as I must choose a terminal category.  Either need a category for this or an admin should reject the change

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED] Unable to change SKU category when UPC is NA

November 22, 2010, 09:39:39 AM

Error works like this:

Make an update to a SKU UPC with NA or na.

Submit for review.

Go back into the SKU and change the category; click submit.


Workaround is to clear the UPC field, and then submit the category change.

After success, go back into the record and add back the NA or na UPC update.

Submit and be on your way

No tutorials at this point.  I'm still playing around as it is.  New things learned each week.  One tip I can reinforce from Shmax' own guide is watch your level adjustments.  The biggest single thing anyone can do to ruin a picture is adjust the levels too far causing the figure to lose detail.  Even moving the levels a few ticks on certain colors will trash it.  How do you know you've lost detail?  Look for holes in your photo during adjustments.  You can do this moving your monitor around to various angles, or much simply, adjusting 'up' mid-tones to max.  As you start to adjust the white level down (with mid-tones to max still), you'll see where the photo starts to loose detail.  White, clear, silver, and any part that has a hard light reflecting off of the surface will almost immediately begin to lose detail.  If this happens before you can adjust the levels to acceptable levels for submission here, you'll need to reshoot/adjust lights, but more then likely be prepared with quick select, eraser tools, and multiple layers  

Keep in mind, I am a harsh grader, especially of my own work.  In fact, with each new 'set' I do, I can look back at what I've done in the past and honestly say they stink (because the newer sets have the knowledge I obtained through tinkering).  I think there's 10 - 15 sets I can look at and say "Anyone would be hard pressed to do better than that."  The rest of my work would be a big thumbs down.

Good luck!

Man, I stay away from here for a few days, and look what I miss! But I would have to say that the Legends Starscream that came with Rescue Ratchet waaaaay out-Princes Thundercracker. He's cast in sparkly purple plastic! Sadly I gave him away before I knew about this site, or you'd have a photo of him, too.

Not to worry.   have that set also, and will upload a photo of that Legends Starscream at some point (unless someone beats me to it.)  Opening that box is way down on my list of 'things to do.'  

Very Nice work on Thundercracker

Also, most of the pressure will be on you to supply photos.  I'm done shooting until I finish moving.  Looks to be until end of September.  :twisted:

Oh, very nice pose. I'm going to have to try it with my UM - the hammer handle is just too short to reach the ground with the head up.

Thanks, man

I agree, the handle is much too short.

Thanks a lot SHMAX.  I'm just grateful that any of my shots are accepted, let alone featured.  Took a lot of work to get here, but thanks to the guides on this site and the constant and incessant kick in the pants by you, looks like I finally maid it.

This is for all you kids out there.  Stay in school, help your elders cross the street, and keep a camera in your pocket (I said a camera!) at all times.  :mrgreen:
