My 2 cents. I was the one that suggested something usefull because I looked at the mojoworld model and realized that's one of the reasons that program is so cool. They have a weeekly challenge. Somebody makes a planet and everyone exlores it rendering up to 3 pictures of what they find on the planet. Well after a year you got 52 more worlds to explore. That model works and I would like to see somthing similar done in vue to give added value to the program. Usefull could be any part of the program. Textures, skies, plants, anything even meshes. Then when the month is over we could collect these extras and stick em in free stuff for all to download. Everyone wins. Now having said that there is no reason why the winner should not continue to pick but maybe pick for a list of possible topics like above. If we go the parts way I think it will generate a lot of interest because of the added value it adds to the program. The only draw back is going to be finding space to host the parts. Maybe we could talk to renderosity to give us some extra space just for the challenge? Like I can't stick more free stuff on my site cause it's full. My space here is also full. There is no reason why it has to be strict and could vary month to month picked by the winner. Story this month and a mesh or texture next month.
