Hellooo?
:w00t:
I was just wondering how many people would be interested in a TG challenge...
I'd gladly try and follow it if there was people enough to partecipate. Actually, I'd like to do it around october, due to the fact that I won't be around from the last week of august to past the half of september, and august is usually a quiet period, with fewer people around the sites; still, I'd like to program this thing before my vacations... ;)
My idea, for the first time or two, would be:
- To do a "themed" challenge with a simple subject, so that anyone with a basic knowledge of the program may partecipate with up to three entries.
- To ask our guardian angel Angela to open a folder to be called "Terragen Contest" for the entries to be uploaded.
- To give a theme. The first would be my choice, then up to the winner of the contest, which would be the he/she who chooses of the next theme.
- Voting could be easily managed by giving every user three different votes (3, 2 and 1 point) to cast on images of his-her choice, by leaving a comment after the submission period has ended.
- The challenge would last for a month, then there would be a ten day voting period, and the challenge could be repeated every two-three months, if the first is successful, a thing which I sincerely hope.

So, anyone interested? :aww:

Don't worry, it will be as easy as saying "easy"! :D
I think, moreover, that having people try and confront a specific theme will help them focus on their abilities with the program. No matter if it is your first or millionth render, I wish that this challenge would be won by an image that give us something in terms of mood, sensation, beauty. :floating:

See you on monday!

Sorry guys, I won't start a challenge before october (EDIT: see below!!!!!!) :( , due to the reasons I have explained above:

Actually, I'd like to do it around october, due to the fact that I won't be around from the last week of august to past the half of september, and august is usually a quiet period, with fewer people around the sites; still, I'd like to program this thing before my vacations..

still, it is really a good thing to know there is people who's willing to do it!!! Thanks!!!!

Sounds an excellent idea to me...and agree that setting a theme makes us focus all the more....by October I may have figured more out in the program....
