Sure, they do. But if you were the only one to perform the bonus goal in the challenge, it wouldn't guarentee you the win. It's just one factor that is considered in the project as a whole.

Question to Mike:
Is a noob considered to be new to just Maya or new to all 3D?

I'm very new to Maya but I do know about 3D.
In Maya I don't know modeling/texturing/rendering. I do know somewhat about character rigging and IK.
But in 3DS Max, I do know modeling/texturing/rendering but don't know character rigging and IK. I sometimes make artist impressions in 3DS Max for an architect.

When I enter the competition, would I be a noob or norm?

Categorize yourself as you see fit. If it's decided you should change your category by the mods, we'll tell you.

I don't categorize myself as an all time noob. I just need points and a dvd. And you can't get that in normal prizes.
