Hey, this topic is great! I want to do Hades. Or how about Mercury. I dunno. Hades is probably the one I want to do the most. Heh

I don't know which challenge to join though? I feel as if I am still a newbie, but I don't want to join in with others who have just started to learn the software. That wouldn't be fair in my opinion. Should I go into the normal challenge then? Can someone give me some help as to the criteria that meets each group? Or can a mod suggest which one I should go into?

This challenge should rock!

Hey englar, if you enter as Noobie, that means that you will not get any award, but the "noobie competition winner" badge. Which is cool too user added image

. If you enter as Normal, you will be up against more experienced maya users, but you will be rewarded with a "Competition winner" badge, and points user added image
