I want to remind everyone to refrain from personal attacks.

That said, first let's clarify that the general community contests are open to all software products. We consider the final render of the image to be the original work created by the artist. Artists may use premade models, clothes, textures, etc. to create their entries (unless otherwise specified).

There are some challenges and contests specific to a software product and/or to modelling. In those contests the artists must create an original model.

We are a diverse art community. As such we need to respect all the different ways that art can be created and expressed. We have contests and challenges that are designed to meet the different types of artists.

If there is a specific kind of contest, or theme that you would like to see, please contact the Contest Manager, cartesius.

Best regards,
Lillian
