@ zhann Thank you for your thoughtful commentary. It can be useful to think about why the ideas proposed appear attractive. In judging the challenge, only three of the 'best' are 'winners'. Many enter and may never receive any acknowledgement. I think this is why the proposals were brought up. It is worth noting that without the challenge, the best artists might feel that their time might be better spent serving their own needs. (creating progucts for their store, contract work, etc...) So, in addition to the well thought out points refered to by zhann above, there other values to the Renderosity community which the ghallenge serves. How can the challenge be more fulfilling to more people? That seems to be the real underlying thread. I offer some thoughts on that topic, for discussion and reflection. 1)How about refreshing the voters with the challenge parameters in the vote thread. 2)How about acknowledging first entries with a welcome award. 3)How about acknowledging; Best object, Best texture, original ideas/concepts, construction,......many other ideas to reflect on. I want to thank you all for he chanch to practice my typing (index ,thumb,ring index...:) and for providing such good comradery(sp?). NOW let's heve some fun! Where's that honey covered jelly donut bigbadelf. Bet it has gone stale:)
