Greetings fellow modelers, In an attempt to "dress up" this forum, I have been allowed to run a banner contest. The winning banner will be prominently displayed in the "announcements" box at the top of this forum. Please review the rules below, and have fun with this. :) Cheers!

I think I will try this one....it sounds like fun. Sharen

Cool!

Thank you Sharen...looks good!

Cool idea, dethblud!

erm silly question time, but I noticed cooler thinks the same as I do - shouldn't modelling have two 'l's ? Is this one of those transatlantic arguments about words, or is there a definitive answer? Does anybody know? Cool graphics BTW to all so far regards peejay

I hadn't even noticed the spelling, but one "L" is all there is in "modeling". Although there seem to be alot of people who spell it with 2 L's.

from... http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/3D-Modelling-1.html "The spelling modelling is Canadian. The spelling modeling is American." either is acceptable usage :-)

Cool, that works for me. :)

Cool! I'm very happy to see we're getting such good contributions for this. :)

Alright, more good ones!

Anyway here is my entry. Don't expect you to accept it, but had to give it a go.

Andy

hmmm (rips open a bag of chips and munchs on them) not sure these'd work too well in a casino ;) (dips one in treacle) not bad though

That looks pretty cool, Andy, but it's supposed to say "Renderosity Model(l)ing Forum" in it somewhere.

what i almost forgot is, that i've rendered it in bryce 5 and modeled with amorphium. I also used Photodeluxe and Gimp. bye

Cool! I never would have guessed you modeled that with Amorphium. I couldn't ever get Amorphium to do anything I wanted. Nice render and font, too.

These banners are looking real good. It's not going to be easy at voting time!

Cool! I'm glad to see there have been so many great contributions for this contest. :)

Allright, thanks for all the great banners! I'm locking this thread, only so no more entries can be submitted. Within the next 24-48 hours I'll have a page made with all of them on it for voting. Then we'll allow a week for voting, and it will be announced in a new thread here and in other forums here as well.
