I'm confused. If composition is allowed, then a person can render a background in Bryce and a NVIATWAS and sandwich them together in PhotoShop... and still be within the rules? Or does the Bryce background have to be pasted to a one-sided square and set within the Poser universe for rendering? Considering all of the nifty environments, skies are about the only thing we need the outside programs for... and the free skydome at RDNA handles that, too. Another question... figure and prop. Restricted to human/humanoid figure? (Fantasy art at the conventions includes winged cats, wolves, dolphins in space, and alchemist's rats.) If the figure must be humanoid, please say so. Carolly

Carolly, soory took me awhile to get to this, been quite busy and R'osity has just been so darn slo. I tried to check out this forum the other day and it wouldn't load after 5 minutes and so I moved on :( Anyhow, the background can be done in Vue, Bryce or any other software. It can even be done with a digital camera, but would have to be set as a background in Poser and rendered in Poser. Since this is basically a Poser Render contest, I had to make some limitations that things be rendered inside Poser, but I wanted to be felecible as well. This doesn't mean that you have to use this type background however, if you wish to use skydomes, cyclorama... it's all good. As for the figure question: Nope, it can be any figure and it doesn't have to be just one figure. The limitation is only that, at least, one of the figures you use (if more than one) must be rendered in Poser. The same goes for props. ;) Hope that helps, ---Will PS: This darn Bondware script didn't even email me when you replied. Kinda pisses me off..Go figure (?)

Thanks for the clarification. And, yes, the ebots do go on vacation without warning. The only time we miss them (or appreciate them) is when they aren't around.

LOL! Had a typo in the statement above. The word in quotes below should be "flexible". Is "felecible" even a word? :| ------------------------------ Original: Since this is basically a Poser Render contest, I had to make some limitations that things be rendered inside Poser, but I wanted to be "felecible" as well. ------------------------------ Correction: Since this is basically a Poser Render contest, I had to make some limitations that things be rendered inside Poser, but I wanted to be "flexible" as well.

Only 10 more days and we still need more entries... so ...if you get your entries in, you still have a good chance of walking away with a prize package!

I'll have to try to make time for it... there is another image that I'm hoping to get done by the end of the month, but have few good art hours.

Ok, thanks Carolly ;) If you get around to it, we'd love to see you enter ;) ---Will
