[color=mediumturquoise]Length: The contest ends June 1, 2006. And starts as of this post.[/color]
[color=mediumturquoise]Requirements: WIP updates are required. Start your own thread with [color=lime]Messiah 2.4 Contest: (your name) as the title. Then post updates as you progress through creating your scene/animation. If you start off with a cube…post a render/wire of the cube. And make sure to describe your goal/story/idea so we know whats going on. Messiah must be used in the creation process, though it doesn’t need to be the only application used. A final or equivalent image/animation must be posted by contest end date. (Don’t worry if its a few minutes late you still will be included)[/color][/color]
[color=mediumturquoise]Prize: Yes! There is a prize. The winner will receive: Simulating Cloth With Messiah Soft Body Dynamics a video tutorial by Wegg. If you own this tutorial already, Wegg can provide a gift certificate (as I’m sure he will produce more videos) or offer an alternative from his store.[/color]
Judges: Taron and wegg will be the primary judges. But of course both can still compete! (no prizes for them though!)
If this contest goes well, I have plans for another one, so participate! And above all have fun!
