QuoteHowever, as said, this might not be the place for this. I do think it would be nice to have a thread that summarizes all current competitions on the various sites.

I think a clouds contest would be a good one to start with, since they are probably the easiest to tweak.they can also take long time to render....as I am doing one rite now... and that is just quick renderUm i dont mean to be critical here but if youre taking 46 + minutes to render a 320x240 test image then theres something seriously too high in your settings

Quote from: old_blaggard on February 10, 2007, 12:52:15 PMOk, you NEVER NEED 4000 SAMPLES EVER!!!! With cloud density 25, you might need 1000, or maybe even 1500, but looking at your render, the clouds are far enough away that those sample numbers should be sufficient.
Quote from: Will on February 10, 2007, 01:38:46 PMWell I would be willing to keep an updated topic on other community contests and such if thats what you guys think would be best.Regards,Will
Quote from: old_blaggard on February 10, 2007, 02:17:39 PMYeah, I'm guessing that wouldn't be the most popular prize, although I would jump at it . Maybe you could just set up a contest winners recognition page, or have the winner's image featured somewhere prominent.
