I think that the rules madmax outlined look okay. There are two things, tho'. About the textures, somebody upthread suggested using only the textures you make yourself. Well, okay, if the texture is made in a paint program. But I'd say no for the rule that you are only allowed to use photo textures you photographed yourself. Not all of us have a digital camera (or an other kind), so it would be a pretty big advantage for people who do. About the models, I can live with not being allowed to use pre-made models. But what about importing models, doing a distance or altitude render and then creating a terrain or lattice? Is it still Bryce? Is it under the 10% rule for post-work? On the other hand, I'd be for allowing the use of Poser characters. I do have Poser 3 I got for free. :-) Hmmm, OTOH, it creates problems, because those with Poser 4 can have clothes, and the others would have to have imported models. Poser 5 owners would have the styled hair. OTST, better not use Poser, or create a separate category. Finally, I'd think that sponsors would be more willing to donate programs and similar stuff than money. Costs them much less and they get to enlarge their customer base. But Recognition and software would be quite nice. And I wouldn't say no to a P4 2.8 GHz computer with 2 gigs of memory and a 19" monitor. :-)
