humorix, Voting: I'm with you, I want just a panel of judges to decide, not Renderosity. But you take it too far, lol, IF Renderosity would have to be used for some voting, only entrants would not be allowed to vote. But, l'll say again, my prerogative, is for NOT using Renderosity members to vote. But if so, Renderosity is aware of all the aspects of IP's/ISP's in these kinds of situations. And, while I can not/will not comment on Renderosity's tactics or technical abilities, I will try to alleviate any concerns by saying that Renderosity would not have any problems coping with this...at all. IF it comes to that. Catagories: The Bryce user who uses Poser would submit their entries under the "General Bryce" catagory. (Need a snappier name for that catagory...) But, yes the real contender for a fourth catagory that needs to be added the most...would be a Bryce&Poser specific catagory. If it can be swung, we'll make it happen. That's been my one thought of REALLY figuring in our large Poser crowd...and Curious Labs. Nah, the Modeling catagory is fairly redundant. The Landscape catagory is kinda too, not just as much. The specifics of 100% Bryce catagory may come down to the wishes of Renderosity and/or Corel. It can always be 100% Pure Bryce, humorix...lol. You just have to actually make those terrains IN Bryce along with those textures. It can be done, lol. Actually, personally I am up for SOME imports, but so far the word from "the man" has been 100% means 100%. We'll see... People with slow PC's and color-correcting: You will have 2-3 months to get it right, so come on...Can't hack even that? Don't enter the "Pure Bryce" catagory is all... Number of entries: Again...here's the hypothetical scenario taken further...The contest allows multiple entries, "hobbit" (a Master Brycer) submit's multiple entries into the contest in each of the three catagories. He wins all three Grand Prizes. Now...how pissed off are you, as a loser, or a 2nd place winner? How much do you wish entries were limited to one each now? Again, here's the other hypothetical scenario taken further...The contest allows multiple entries, you enter as many times as you wish and YOU WIN say...two Grand prizes. Then Renderosity, says "Congratualtions" and throws away one of your winning entries so some 2nd place person can win your prize. Now are you pissed? Now are you flaming Mod's and Admin's in the forums? Bet your butt you are... And, if a clause was put forth, alowing multiple entries but only one win, how second choice are you going to feel if you placed 2nd but then won 1st only because of a technicality? Yeah, you get the Prize, but your art was not only second best but also a charity case. (lol, that's how I see it) This contest should not stem merit but solidify it by demanding the ONE best work out of all entrants, not a volley of mediocre ones in an attempt to place. Must sleep, hope any of this made sense. AgentSmith
