Clint ,since it dosn't seem as if to many people have done anything for Feed Your Dreams, Why not extended it through June and re explain it for those of us that missed it the first time.

Well, It was suggested that I throw out a topic for an image. We thought it would be cool to see what the members came up with from the topic only. I figured we would get a lot of interesting and differant interpritations of the topic. Thats a pretty cool idea to extend it a bit. Ok - We will let it roll through June. Post the images when you can throughout June. Make the subject line Feed my Dreams so I can locate the images easy in the forum archives. What I can then do is gather up all the images at the end of June and put them on a web page so everyone can view them all... Hows that sound gang? Clint

Hooray!!! I can continue to beta Diablo 2, and still have some time to work on my image! :-) Thanks Clint and Stacey Aeryk71

Sounds good! So...was "Feed my Dreams" the actual topic that we base our images on? Daf

Yea...Sleep on it...toss it around in your head... See what kind of interesting image you can come up with to go with "Feed My Dreams" as the image title. Have fun....Hell, I might even do one. I have a race this weekend. Maybe I could work in some time next week.. ;) Clint

Thank you, thank you, thank you... Mark

Hey, Clint- what kind of racing do you do? I am a racer as well! I race a 250yz Yamaha in a motocross series down here and then I trade that bike for a Trek and do some mountain bike racing. My weekends are generally pretty busy in the summer...know what I mean!? Daf

daf - I currently race 1/10th scale Remote control cars. Please no laughing.. ;) Its pretty intense stuff. My car has a 2 speed trans in it and will hit 50-55 mph. Not a toy by any means. I race Touring cars on a road course.. Its a blast. We have x amount of races during the season and keep track point standing etc..just like da big guys. ;) I wanted to race bikes for years. I've been riding motorcycles since I was about 7 or so. I also would like to race big cars but I dont have enough money for that so I had to scale down..hehe.. ;) Here is a pick of my car. Clint

Not laughing! I love that stuff! I used to go everyday after school and race slot cars for money in LA. Plus...I bet you haven't broken almost every bone in your body at one time or another! LOL. Or left more skin in the woods than on your shins. ;^) Good luck this weekend! Daf

That is one sweet looking car! Good Luck this weekend Clint!

Gentleman let your engines ROAR!!! and good luck on your Races this weekend and througout the summer. And Daf, you've got some Bit$#%ng Wheels. Clint I shall give the feed your dreams Image a shot.

Hmmmm... I guess I'll go with the extended date. I was by no means totally happy with mine, but I was getting tired of it. But I can't let mine stand the way it is if others are gona continue (or in some cases begin) to work on theirs... 8^) I could tweak the table setting, but I am having a major block on what to do with the background.... Ugh... back to the drawing board... HG...

Clint, I have been involved in several ray tracing compitions over the years. In most cases, we found that once a month was TOO little time to do anything. More than 2 months, people lost interest. Therefore, 2 months turned out to be the perfect solution. One of the ones I still keep track of announces a new topic each month and you have 2 months to complete it. That way if you don't like the topic, you don't have to wait 2 months for the next, another will be along next month. I am looking forward to participating in this (as soon as I get a little better at Carrara.) Great idea though! Vern

Do you have any urls for those competitions, Vern? I'd be interested in trying that. Thanks Daf

Thanks for the info Vern. I like the every two months... Clint

Here is one I still follow and submit to when I have time: www.irtc.org (Internet Ray Tracing Compitition) Here is what they say about entry: The Internet Ray Tracing Competition is an open competition. Deadline for still image submission is every two months; for animations, every three months. Participants may use any 3D rendering program. They have a panel of judges and select 1st, 2nd & 3rd place as well as Honorable Mentions for: Artistic Merit Technical Merit Concept/Theme I won one of the early compitions and got my work and code for it (done in POVRAY then) on thier first CD. Each year they take the winners and Honorable mentions and create a CD that they sale to help sponsor the web site. It's pretty cool.

Thanks! Daf
