Hell, I might actually start working in three weeks on this one.
Mighty price in store, although several other hundreds will too. ;)

That's one hell of a machine! :D
Pitty I'm too noob to win such a prize :(

Dam thats a nice prize :)

Wow, I'd definately want to have one of those :)

mmmmrrhhrhhrrrhrhrrrhrhrhhrrhrmmmmmppppphhhhh...
ill give it a try now that i have spent an evening and a night installing the brand new guaranteed HDD...
but if they let anybody with an cgtalk award participate...well at least... we can still look at it in awe...:)

DAMN that's a good prize, I'll give it a try... even if there's no chance, it's too good to miss...

Hopefully have time to enter this one...

Cool. I might be able to find time to enter in a month or so too.

Worst case, I got a cool piece for my reel:)

ME WANT

you must be a pro to win that

I hate being such a noobie. I need one of those as my PC is only half built. I have a great idea for it aswell, if only i had the skill to bring it to life.

i am noobie too, but i am gonna try to join it...reason is, the higher my goal, even if i dont achieve it, i will have succeeded at making something higher than normal. :)

i just joined it, even though i'm gonna lose.

I dont get it....only maya ? only 3d? :confused:

it's not only for maya it's for any 3d app.

oh...I thought also 2d

I am in too!

I drooled all over my cpu looking at the prize.... so now I need a new one :D

So, i found the perfect alien place for that machine to rest in... my home. (but i strongly believe that theres like 200000 people out there disagreeing....:)).

By 3d what do they mean? Can I have a scene made in 3d/Maya but brushed up in photoshop??????

Hmm, I entered as well but you got to think of this too:

Yeah, saw that, but I'm gonna do it for myself and my reel anyway.

BUT, I'm gonna wait till the LAST minute to post it:)

Good point rage. I was thinking of the "last minute posting" too :)

heh so i wasnt the only one who tought it...:) it will be fun at the end when most ppl with the best works are playing cat and mice with the ones who are already posted like: "huumm can i win that? or should i keep the rights over mines?":D

looks good... add more alien life though... or more alien landscape...

it'll have to be alien landscape as you can't have life (it's in the rules).

It's a good start. Maybe too earthy like atm but I'm sure it'll change to more alien type thing later. I like the cocoon idea...

What you need is more plant life to give it a more alien look... unless that is not allowed either. Then this seems like an extremely difficult contest.

I think instead of the mountains being rock i might make them living tissue or atleast was living and is now dead and decaying.

They seem to be having some trouble though regarding the rights of the images and all.
Some guys don´t seem to be pleased with the rules.

I don't care about that, if it's in the rules and you don't like it then don't enter the challenge. Nobody is making them enter.
