Would do mate but i'm pushed for time at the moment, end of may I will be up for a battle

[MattTheMan]

sorry joopson- no offence...

Ok well this just gives me more time to work on my raytracer so w.e

[varley]

I wouldnt mind doing this...just that Im in a gazillion other competitions, and Im lucky to finish any...lol

A photorealistic fantasy vehicle(or concept vehicle) would be more interesting...no?

[MattTheMan]

yeah... I think that I would like to eat my words now, b/c I really want to have time to do my raytracer, and i cant have 2 projects going at once b/c I wont finish either.

sorry 'bout that, peeps.

[MattTheMan]

nobody up for it?

[Joopson]

here is a question, by inorganic do you mean human made things???

[MattTheMan]

i mean not alive. a rock is inorganic (but boring to model and texture :p)

[Joopson]

if you want i can try, but as i said before, we have competitions alot, so its annoying to be competitive with the same person., but still... its your choice.. i personally dont care what you say, yes or no, because i am just bored and want to waste time, lol

[MattTheMan]

ok sure I will do it.

I'll make the challenge thread. If you want, you can render in Ingido, gives great results easy, and my script works (I'm actually adding support for meshlights and physical sky now)

but if I were you I'd use Maxwell. I'm gonna get it soon because of the amazing results that Maxwell users are getting, and, in particular- I LOVE this one-

by Thomas An from the Maxwell forums

[Joopson]

That maxwell render is awsome! Too bad Tomas chose to model 'CHEAP' speaker clips on that audio component, and no digital output for a external D/A converter either.
