Drac: you said, "...I am wondering whether this challenge brought out the less-creative side in people..." I have to agree with you, I found the challenge less challenging and I really don't know why. I had this vision in my head about 'The Hand of God' and that's what I created in about 5 hours inc render time. The fact that no imports were allowed didn't phase me at all. Bryce has everything you need.... It was a good idea for a challenge, but there's the breaks... What gets my goat however, is that a nameless few are spoiling things by entering work purporting(can't spell) to encompass the criterior of the challenge but obviously doing nothing of the sort. I remember my first challenge entry being thrown out (And rightly so) for not being a new work. Surely then we already have a precedent for disqualification? Indeed, some more honourable contributers disqualified themselves after questions were raised about the validity of their work. Would it not be possible for the challengers to disqualify entries that don't meet the challenge criterior? Sorry for ranting, thanks for reading... The Bryster
