Just to let you guys know, I've not forgotten about you all. Getting engaged and such has been taking my attention lately. I'll try to post winners this week!

I can announce a winner for the last challenge, but I can't afford to give out prizes, especially what was originally planned.

This week is very busy for me, unfortunately, with work as well as...

Ok, we'll wait for the new year before starting another challenge so that the holidays won't get in the way. Thanks for everyone's participation and encouragement! I'll post results for this...

Well, I can pick winners from the 3 finished (and thus 1 guy doesn't get anything, which kinda sucks).

Or, I can give this next month to finish.

What do YOU guys want? That's what this is all...

So, considering that only 3 people finished the challenge, I'm going to have to assume that there aren't many people interested in having challenge competitions here at SM. Correct me if I'm wrong. ...

If you finish your entry, let me know if I don't happen to notice and I'll mark your thread as FINISHED. :) Hope all who celebrate it had a happy Thanksgiving!

Dec 1st is still the deadline

If you have one of the later versions of Maya, it shows the Tri count in the Polycount display. If not, sure, 15k quads will be ok.

that is correct

the 1024 limit refers only to the color textures. If your color needs a spec, trans, etc, it can all count with just the same color texture it goes with.
