Anyone who uses an editor like Vue, Poser, C4D, Max etc is cheating. We should all go back to creating 3D scenes by hand. Ok when I spent a year working on 3D projects for a living there were no editors that worked with VRML available. I had to edit text files by hand to make scenes. It was slow, laborious and boring but you really felt like you'd achieved something when you had a bit of terrain, some alpha planes and some other bits and bobs. It could take months to complete a simple project. The link is to the last of the pieces of work I did thats available to view on the web (but you will need a special viewer to do so). 18 holes of a golf course took about six weeks to do from start to finish - and we were able to use 3ds Max to produce the basic terrain geometries by then. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that using any feature of an editor could be seen as cheating. Having had to code a scene by hand I'd rather cheat any day of the week to get the job done in a couple of hours rather than a couple of months.
