Well,that's too bad. Contests should be fun to enter, not a slap in the face. Fortunately there are other communities beyond Renderosity that run contests and challenges, prizes or no. I think I'll just post my entry in the Gallery so there's a name attached to it, and be on my merry way. Not that anyone will see it after a day or two; I think the Gallery filters are broken. None of my pictures are coming up under Carrara/RDS. :-(

Alrighty then... I surfed the Forums some looking for the "clarification" on the rules, and I'll be jiggered. I can't find any such thread. Could someone point me to it? I'm curious.

Y'know, I wondered if I was doing the content of my entry correctly also. At first I started to conceptualize something that had all 3 elements. Then I saw, "Create a November/December holiday greeting animation that incorporates at least 1 element from the past, present or future.", and took 'at least 1 element' and OR as literal, so only chose one aspect. Kinda like choosing the soup, potato OR salad with dinner. You can only have one, not all! =) Heh, I probably should have surfed the forums for clarification as well. In any case, I'm not sure the chosen winners all qualify either, if it was supposed to be all three. Asthetic considerations aside. -Mara
