I deleted a fiery post I made earlier. Thanks FWTempest for the strait arrow. In a sleepy haze I think I realize now missed the point.

I agree with Drac the community needs a lot more constructive critism.

I don't agree that this months entries "brought out the less-creative side in people". I would say that some of the executions were rougher and less involved than others. Creativity is something at can't be measured empirically. There were very diverse solutions to the challenge.

To be honest the challenge itself was more technical in nature given the technical aspects of modeling in Bryce. I really applaud those that took a shot at the metaball hands and the beginners that gave it there all. I believe the contest, to a large degree, isolated the beginner users and those more comfortable making their models in programs that can model better.
