I must admit I was a little disappointed when I read the rules for the Feb. challenge, but only because I knew I wasnt up to it personally, and having collected eight points in my first attempt the previous month,I had been looking forward to it. (BTW I can understand Drac being happy winning. Those eight points sent me over the moon) That said, I think it was a worthwhile challenge and a lot of people seem to have got much from it. I wouldnt want restrictions like that evry month but every now and again must be good, It is a challenge, after all. I don`t want to learn to model in Bryce. If I ever get round to learning 3d modeling it will be with a specialist program. While I admire anyone who can model, and even more so those who then use those models in their own work, I do not feel any less of a Brycer because I import models made by others. To me, Bryce is analagous with photography, and most photographers do not build their props. Their skill is in the original concept then arranging and lighting their subject. My only criticism of such restrictions is that I think a lot of very interesting work may have been lost because of them, because it was a cracking subject.
