Since I had sooo many people knocking down that thread trying to find out what the details were, I figured I'd better hurry up and post them.

The details are very simple;

1. create an image using the supplied zip file, best 3 wins a copy of my Flowers pack.

2. Post the image to the gallery with the words "CWS Flowers contest" in the title, or post to this thread.

3. Starts today and ends Sunday, winners will be announced Monday.

Now that's pretty darn easy if you ask me.

Well darn it, Shorty, it was a nice idea, and it woulda been "pretty darn easy," but after downloading and opening your file I discovered it was for Poser only. Was going to write and ask which gallery to post to, but now I realize you were probably talking about the Poser gallery. I must be the only person at Rosity who doesn't have Poser, huh? Thanks anyhoo!

hold on there, I can include the .obj file, especially since they are included in the package.

Sounds like a plan to me. Would you IM me when you've done that? Thanks. Hey - if I'm the only person who enters, does that mean I win? LOL! Oh, what time (and time zone) on Sunday does the contest end? BTW, don't know if you've already done it, but why not post a link to this in the Contest Forum?

You can re-download now, and I'm on the east coast, so I guess I should be thinking about that. I'll get back to you on that one. Thanks for the tip about the contest forum, and yes if you are the only one you will win.

Great. Thanks.

Well Sipapu, you won't be the only entrant :) At least if my daughter lets me have a little time to myself this weekend! I would like a chance to see what I can make with this lovely vine. CW Shorty, Thank you for putting this contest on and generously supplying the prize!

Hope you get the time, firefly - the more the merrier. I only said that as a joke, anyway, because of cwshorty's initial thread and then what he said in his first post in this one. Oh, and forgetful me.... cwshorty, I heartily echo firefly's thanks. I like your username, firefly. Evokes childhood memories. (But, uh, you don't want to know....LOL!)

Thank you Sipapu, I hope to get the time too! I look forward to seeing the pic(s) you enter! And if my name evokes some of your childhood memories, I'm almost willing to bet that mischief was involved somehow!!

I have to agree with firefly, the word mischief comes to my mind as well. LOL...%^)

Hmmm. That gives me an idea for my entry. Hehehehe. Now I'm hoping I have enough time.

I hope you do too! I'm very curious all of a sudden at what you've got up your sleeve!! (mischief wise)

;-p

oh, oh!! That just smacks of trouble!!

Uh huh. LOL!

Just to be sure I have this right. It is Ok to do this in VUE, right? One entry per person? Thanks for the great idea!

Seems to be OK, SOS. The rules are pretty loose. I don't even have Poser, so I'll be working in Bryce. Welcome to the Sipapu-Firefly forum - LOL!

You can use whatever you want, and entry limit is let's say 2, as long as you use the plant in the file provided. How's that??

Sounds good, cwshorty. Don't know if I'll even have time to finish the one that I have in mind. Still wondering about the exact deadline. You know, you don't have to be awake for it, since the times will show on the posts. ;-)

You must have been reading my mind, I'm sitting here now trying to figure out what would be best for every one.

OK how's 24:00 RO time. We go by the time in the upper corner of the screen.

Poifect.

Sounds great. I'll be baaaack!

OK, so sometimes I can be a detail person. Any size? Looks like you have your 3 entries! LOL

Welcome SOS!! Another one with a great idea? oh, I'm in trouble here....... One other contestant with mischief and now one with ideas..... ack!! Me thinks it's time to brainstorm :) see you all later!

oh, heck!! SQS, I was reading SOS now I know I'm in trouble!! Good to see you! Go easy on us eh?

CW Shorty and Sipapu? Please meet SQS. She does amazing fantasy work! I'm sure we will be delighted with the pictures that she creates :) :) :)

Ooops. Obviously I read it wrong, too. It's that link thing. Nice to meetcha, SQS. Firefly, cwshorty, and I seem to have a nice little private forum going on here - LOL! BTW, Firefly, I visited your gallery. But now, I'm off to make mischief. ;-p

OK, I'm going first because my idea is way too obvious! So I'll get it in here before I am beat! LOL Thanks, Firefly! Nice to see you here, and Hi to Sipapu and cwshorty! Glad to be here! BTW, Firefly that link finally got fixed for the Polgara entry. See you allin entry #2 LOL

Good Grief you're fast!!! I will go and check that link out once I get my idea into rendering mode.... :) I bet you see us in entry two before we complete entry 1!

I know I went about this wrong, and I hope ya'll don't hold it against me, it's my first one so I'll be better prepared for the next one. So let me try and sum everything up the right way this time. Contest details revisited..%^) Contest runs from 3/22 - 3/24 - last entry accepted at 24:00 - 3/24 RO time. no size limit no app restriction (there are both obj & prop files included in zip) limit of 2 entries image must be clearly labeled "CWS Flowers contest" in the gallery or in this thread. I think that covers everything. Any questions just holler.

SQS,that was fast. Very nice!

Hey, Shorty! I never think of the details until I walk away and think about it!! I jut think it is grat that you are doing this contest at all!! about the "CWS Flowers contest", where do I put that if I am entering in this thread?

Well since you've posted it here you won't need to, but if it's in the gallery then you'd just need to put it in the title or somewhere in your comments.

Millenium babies having fun with that little ant..

Very cute, Pati! Let's hope they don't catch the little guys!

OK, this is it for me. This is magic of both kinds, nature and fantasy. Thnaks, for the contest, Shorty! It has been fun. I enjoy them because I need a focus!

These images are all great! But I'd better stop spending my time looking at them and get to work myself. SQS - I'm like you. I need that focus, too. BTW cwshorty, you're doing a fine job of running this little contest. Don't you worry a whit about all the questions we've raised about the details. Besides, it'll be a great learning experience for you, and someday you'll become known planetwide as a great contest master - LOL!

Aww shucks Sipapu, thanks so much that makes me feel sooo much better.

These are really some great entries everyone.

Done in Poser and lots of PSP BTW- Love the flowers

Just want to say what a beautiful group of pictures you have all posted! And, also to let you know I'm not gone far.... just as far as the picture I'm furiously working on!! Sipapu, looks like you and I are the slow ones . CWShorty. You are running a very fun contest and one that doesn't feel in any way scary or threatening. Once again, Thank you very much!

Firefly, Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was trying to do make it fun, I am so happy that you are enjoying it. All of the image have been great!

Awfully quiet around here, must mean that everybody is hard at work LOL....%^)

There are still a few more hours! Just be patient, I'm sure there will be a last minute flurry!

Here it is!! My entry for the "CW Shorty Flower Contest". I've called it spring morning and there are credits to the artists who created the our contest flower, the Cathedral, Butterfly Wings and Fence material at my Renderosity page along with a larger version of the picture. Thank you CW!! It was a lot of work but fun. Sipapu, where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu????

Very nice!!! Hey you've still got time for one more ROFL, OK OK, I won't push it - and you are very welcome. Yea Sipapu where are ya!!!

CW Shorty, you're too funny!!!

No time to say hello, goodbye...I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. But I'll be back!

Ah, ah! Someones been drinking tea says Alice......(smiles)_

Sipapu, you've got plenty of time!! As for firefly....VBG.....

Here it is, for what it's worth. I'm trying hard not to compare it to all the charming and lovely pieces here, since I'm still such a newbie at all this. I entered because I need to push myself to try new things, to learn, and to stretch. And hey, if nothing else, I've discovered a bunch of fun new Rosity friends! Say, has anyone posted entries over in the Poser gallery? I know you also gave us that option. Credits: that infamous Cleveland Wrecker, cwshorty, for the versatile vine; Steve Lareau's texture on the vine; zorglub for the lantern; fireflies by yours truly, but inspired by, well, firefly! Oh, I call it "Rushing Toward Spring." P.S. Nope, not tea. Diet Coke - LOL!

Whew, you had me worried. Doesn't look like newbie work to me!! You all are going to have to share some secrets about your images when this is over. Oh no, you've found out about my handle.....VBG Great Job!

Sorry to worry you, CW. You mean that I might not have made the deadline? Hey, I had 42 minutes to spare! Thanks for your nice words. It's been about 3 weeks since I made my last Bryce image, and that was only 2 weeks after finishing my Bryce Beginners class. I looked at that "blank page" and went dumb, all of a sudden not being able to remember how to do anything! Yep. I know all your childhood secrets now - LOL!

Well it looks like Firefly decided not to do another one and Sipapu your image is the last one. Childhood secrets will not work as a bribe for the judge. ROFL- nice try. Looks like I've got some judging to do. I'll annouce the winner, very shortly. They are all great!!!

Oops sorry, I meant to say I'll announce the winners very shortly -slip of the lip or keyboard...%^)

Well after much deliberation, it looks like we have a 5 way tie *LOL* you all did such a great job, so I wanted to extend the prize to you all, just in time to receive the bonus item (see image) that will be offered with this package as well. I dont know about yall, but I sure did have a great time in spite of the rocky start, and hope to do this again sometime. I will be in contact with you all very shortly, thank you so much for your support!!! Best wishes, Linda

Thanks so much for all the fun. You did a GREAT job. This was obviously a tough choice to make, and you resolved it graciously and generously. Wow - what a cooooool vase. Is that (I hope) an .obj file? It's the only way I can use it in Bryce. If not, am I free to give it away to someone who uses Poser? You're the best, Linda! P.S. I think you've more than made up for the wreck you made of Cleveland in your childhood - LOL!

Of course I've made sure that the .obj file will be included for you!! as she opens poser to export No really, I will be including the .obj file as well, so you won't have to give it away... Are you kidding, made up for my wrecks, oh no I've got alot more to do yet...%^)

You're awesome Linda!! Thank you so much for the fun, excitement and great prizes :) :) :) This was my first contest and it was a terrific experience. If I ever enter more they will have much to live up to. Congratulations SQS!! You've done it again . I love the spider web you created! (even though I hate spiders) Pizazz, I love your swing idea. This vine certainly was perfect for that! Lovely picture :) Patiaz, your curious babies are so sweet. I especially like the complacent ant though!! Sipapu, you're a competitor extraordinaire! I love your picture. The vine texture is so pretty and the fireflies are adorable. Thank you.... If the bonus files etc. are in poser format I can maybe help you get them into bryce format!! I am at work so can't type/talk any longer but will check back again later this evening. Yippee!!!!!!!! Can hardly wait to get home and download!!

I'm at work too and can't even take the time to comment on individual works right now, but I really want to. Meanwhile, just take Firefly's comments as my own - LOL! Glad you liked the fireflies, Firefly. It's not quite my childhood mischief, though. Gotta go!

What a great time! First, Linda you did a great job for your first contest. Will look forward to more! :) Thanks, all for making this a wonderful experience. always nice to meet new people. When you look through what can be done with one little vine, we are an awesome group, don't you think? (A wonderful vine it is too) The prize looks fantastic, I love the vase!!! THANKS!!

Oh that vase looks awesome. I was thrilled when I came to the area looking for something (now what was it).... Got so excited that I forgot. Thanks again for having a little contest and I agree with SQS, the images that were created with this little vine really show some artistic talents...

Linda, The flowers are gorgeous. Going to make something pretty with them this week. All the pictures were great. Again - thank you..

Finally all done, I will be contacting everyone about the bonus file. Once again a great big thank you to everyone that participated, you all made this very special for me, and I enjoyed all of the images that were submitted.....APPLAUDING AS YOU ALL TAKE A BOW* VBG.....%^) Linda

ok, now that the pressure is off (grin) I'm going to take a more relaxed stroll through a certain "Wreckers" site!! My curiousity is definitelly piqued!! I'm glad that we made this special for you too Linda. It was a huge success I think with 6 very happy people!

This is weird. I posted a message that should have shown up between #64 & 65. Don't think I posted in another forum. If so, whoever reads it will undoubtedly wonder what the heck I was talking about! Anyway, basically it said how much fun I've had here with you all and so much enjoyed your beautiful pictures, and more thanks & congrats to Linda for the very nifty contest and wonderful prizes. But I also told you that I'm not feeling chatty or too great right now because I just got word this evening that a dear friend has died. Don't mean to be a downer, but I thought you nice folks deserved to know why I just don't have it in me to make the individual comments that I'd like to. Take good care all.

Isn't that very strange. I too have had that news today. My heart goes out to you.

SQS and Sipapu, I'm so very sorry.... I hope that God eases the pain and sorrow for you both very soon. Brenda (aka firefly)

Thank you, SQS. And mine to you. I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this as well. And thanks to you, Brenda. Right now I'm totally devastated, as are our other friends. I'm sure that peace will come, but first there's the grieving process. On another subject, if you should happen to see my misplaced post anywhere, would you let me know so that I can delete it? Thanks.

Oh I am so sorry to hear of your news. I don't know what to say other than my thoughts are with you both. I have lost 3 very dear family members just within the last several months, my Grandmother being the most recent at Christmas time. Grieving is very important, something that we tend to try and get thru quickly, instead of letting it run it's course. You do have your memories, something that will be around forever for you alone to cherish. Please know that both of you are in my thoughts as well as my prayers. Linda

Moved to contest forum... Clint
