Just to fire things up....

"Q: Are random or parametric terrain and foliage/plant generation software (Bryce/Vue) allowed?
A: No. This has been a legacy of the last 15 Challenges. The whole purpose of the Challenge is to learn. We challenge artists with a concept/theme and rules/boundaries by which people have to work with. What's the challenge in pressing a few buttons and getting an automatic scene or terrain out of that? There's no challenge! We regard the Challenge like a triathlon, where athletes are given a goal and a route to go through to get to the goal. You don't see athletes jumping in cars to beat their competitors, and drug cheats almost certainly face banning, prosecution and public humiliation. Similarly, we give boundaries to the Challenge, and we challenge artists to better themselves through this."

Hows that for a quote from their FAQ??
