Congratulations to you and many thanks to all for your participation:-)

CONTEST THEME: Your uncle Hyronimus has bequeathed to you an old luxurious house. It is dark in there, no light yet. Soil and walls are quite damaged. Now you have to decide what you will do with THIS room. Will it be your bed room, dining room, bathroom or kitchen? Or will you use it to put your computer in there? Not so easy. Just think that you -and your family- will live in this house later. The basic scene you have to use must be downloaded HERE. (Thanks to ArgentiumThri-ile who created the original scene, though a few components were removed from the final file to reduce the file size.). For Vue 2 and Vue 3 users ONLY: you can download a little different scene HERE. The rules are the same as for Vue 4 users. Lets make it clear: Vue 4 users use the Vue 4 file and Vue 2 and 3 users uses the other file. When you get the scene, LOCK THE LAYERS (make sure the camera is in a locked layer too!). You can still adjust the textures and such, but you cannot accidentally click and move objects in the windows (you can still select and movie them from the side panel) but atleast this will help cut down on accidents. :) To lock a layer click the little eyeball next to the layer name until it looks like a pad lock. :) HERE ARE THE ROOMS HOW THEY LOOKED LIKE, WHEN YOU CAME IN WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO ENTER? Open to all Vue dEsprit users registered as Renderosity members. Administrators and moderators cannot participate. WHEN DOES IT START? The contest starts on October 1, 2002 and will end on October 31, 2002 8:00 a.m.ET (2:00 p.m.GMT). HOW THE WINNERS WILL BE DETERMINED? Winners will be chosen by the admin/moderator team.
