Lets see how this goes: Well, its been a week since I notified oneironaut that hed (?) won, and no word from him. So to keep things moving along Ill go ahead and post the next challenge. This may wind up being a July / August challenge, depending on requests for more time. Theme: Concept Vehicles. Constraints: Must be original vehicles (if you dont model, you can use a purchased and/or obtained model in a complete scene). Must meet the ground (hover craft and low altitude flyers are ok) at least some of the time. Taking a hint from Ray Tracy in Full Tilt (http://www.menithings.com/video/FullTilt/Video_Tilt_01.html) Can be modeled, drawn, and rendered in anything you choose. While not a required, inclusion in a scene wouldnt hurt. ;) So what do you think the 2030 Ducati will look like? Will cars actually fly (ala Back to the Future) in a few years and what will the roads look like? Hope you all find this interesting lets get rendering. :)

Oops. I was going to post the challenge tonight -- actually, a couple of nights ago, but I've been unspeakably busy the last couple of days and kept not being able to get to it. (I think the mail server may have misbehaved or something, too; I got the mail on the third.) Ah, well; this sounds like an interesting one. I'd like, rather belatedly, to thank the people who voted for me; I'm honored. Oh, and the Academy. Can't forget to thank the Academy. ;)

Hehehe... we haven't started yet... so by all means... this is your month... we'll change this one over to be an Open Ended one... give us something to keep coming back to... please post a new thread with the Subject of "the Real July Challenge". :)

Oh -- okay, that works. Thanks. :)

So do I post here? I have one I would like to enter. -Kris

Kris... WOW! Where can I buy one of those. ;)
