NOTE

Mods can enter, but are inelligible to win.

Instead of choosing a Norm or Noob class, they can classify themselves "Mod."

heh, just in case people might have been worried with Kurt's entry. user added image

ey, can anybody tell me when is the exact deadline for this challenge. i'm having a really hard time with some parts of my model and i wanna budget my time properly...i don't wanna spend too much on one thing that's "ok" already and realize later that there are still a lot of things to be done...and eventualy not finish. that would really really suck.

guys...anybody?

Alrighty, we're heading toward the final stretch!

I hope we get the 5 finished entries required so we can give away our grand prize! Remember: the animation is OPTIONAL. Don't sacrifice getting your entry finished trying to add that on.

Submit your final entries to the "Final Entry" thread of your category.

Challenge ends on the last day of February at midnight. Judging will take place in the days that follow.

Don't forget to check out the folks at www.simplylightwave.com who are also participating!

Get your entries in! user added image

Judging will take place over the next couple days, upon which the next challenge will also be announced.

Reminder: We need FIVE valid final NORMAL entries (combined from both simplymaya and simplylightwave) to compete for the grand prize book! This is to make sure the cost of purchase and shipping the book is worth it! We don't want to reward one entry just because he happend to be the only one to finish! As always, VIP points will also be awarded to the normal and newbie winners.

Let's see a real rumble between contenstants! If you've entered as a newbie but want to change your mind, feel free.
