heyas; the vague themes (and holidays) are better than the specific stuff (make a face, use this prop). no postwork sucks :) um.... but okay, a poser contest is a poser contest. so does that mean you cant render in another program? (max, lightwave, vue, bryce...) have you thought about splitting the contest into different categories? perhaps not beginner/advanced, but stills/animation? character creation, prop creation? (okay, i stole those ideas from the pfo pose this contest.)
