Im getting the impression here that this particular site doesnt accept pre-fabed, out-of-the-box terrains, humanoid figures and the such. In other words, only things that the artist can build from the ground up using true 3D modeling tools including terrains and figures. Personally I dont find that too hard to understand, if in fact that is what they require. It seems to me that they want to test for 3D modeling skills all around and not out-of-box content composition. Lets get real here. Believe me when I tell you that when things are constructed well, in the hands of a skilled artist, using these high-end modelers, very little can compare, thats why they go cinema grade, broadcast quality professional. In truth, and as a Bryce and 3D Studio aficionado and user, Bryce can never compare in versatility and creative modeling power. It is exactly the Brycians cleverness and propensity to improvise and compensate in the lack of high-end capacity, which sets him apart from other artists. All your Brycian Boolean complex modeling isnt even considered true Boolean modeling in the true 3D world so how would you expect it to be accepted? Bryce lends itself well to short-cut backdrop modeling. Imagine for a moment that you would have to construct every stream, every mountain, every tree, every cloud, every human, every animal, every grass blade from its basic foundations in the world of modeling polygons, Bryce would be hard pressed to produce these as a stand-alone, as true 3D meshes. These other packages can do that and more in capable hands, it only takes that much longer to produce. And I get the impression from what you are saying that this is what they are after. My 2 cents.
