Renderosity cannot be responsible for taxes incurred with prize money, FAR too much room for something to go wrong. I don't know about global tax laws, but Renderosity (bondware) is located within the U.S., so I can almost guarantee you that's the law/rule they would stick with. Oh...(kinda stupid of me), I have forgotten that I keep meaning to mention as far as prizes...other than software, that pc hardware would rock, as would books pertaining to 3D CGI, etc. That stuffs was always on my list, I just wanted to quell the guitar thing. But, hey...like I said nothing would be turned down as a prize for you guys! "But I'd say NO for the rule that you are only allowed to use photo textures you photographed yourself" - most photo's on the internet are copyrighted...so are most meshes, oh, they're free for personal use, but once you win something with it...the original author is going to want something. "importing models, doing a distance or altitude render and then creating a terrain or lattice" - No. See above. Yes, it still applies, you are winning with the work of someone else. It would (sorta) be like making a rough tape of a Linkin Park CD and then calling the tape your own work. Poser Characters - I think this may have to be a catagory of its own, or perhaps a general "mesh import" catagory. Can't help with the Poser 3 vs. poser 5 thing, we have gone through that same discussion with Bryce 3 vs. Bryce 5. humorix - your post #100...We're way ahead of ya on that. ;o) Keep pumping that brain of yers, though, we're on the same page... Most of the what's allowed in mesh imports, texture imports, and post-work will be solved by the catagories. AgentSmith
