Just a heads up that
CGTalk is on one of its annual challenges again. This time the theme is "
Uplift Universe".
Click on this
link for more details.
The interesting part of all this is that
SOFTIMAGE is offering all contestants a
FREE copy of
XSI Essentials 6.5 for use in this contest, which you can keep if you finish!
And if you go
here you can find a rather nice FREE little plugin that makes trees in a very similar way to Xfrog.
I think it may also be pretty cool to see some sweet TG backdrops used in this Challenge.
