Okay, since no one else has created a battle thread yet, I'm just going to do it.

Subject: "Statistical clock" - random word generator, open for interpretation - modelling, texturing, lighting, animation, and/or rendering - no single module of Maya is required, other software is acceptable as long as the bulk is done in Maya

Timeline: Short challenge, deadline is midnight (somewhere in the middle of the atlantic) on Oct. 30 (I'm sure you'll want to do other things on halloween?)

Judging: Poll-based, criteria to be determined by everyone that votes. No prizes or medals, just bragging rights and having the most fun.

Since I doubt there will be too many entries, just post all progress in THIS thread. If the response is overwhelming, we can do individual threads for the next battle.
