E-on organizes another 3D Environment Competition this year with lots of nice prizes to win.

They clearly state it's not their concern with what kind of software you've made your submission.
With a couple Vue-adepts in the jury I have my doubts and ending up with a TG2 image as winner, for instance, would be unacceptable for E-on if you'd ask me lol :)
But it's a tempting idea isn't it? ;D
I think I'm going to join.
Cheers,

Hmmm...did it just change or am I dislectic or something :) shit! lol ;D
huhhuhu ;D
lolz, maybe we could pop a vue tree in the background somewhere, behind a rock or something!

I saw this competition also. Then read the rules. ::) I would have been happy to win a CG mag subscription...
Strange, I did not see the Vue requirement either until now. I was in fact going to mention the contest to people here. Oh well.

I say 'add a Vue tree' is a great idea! Everyone here should participate, using Terragen to render a Vue forest, there's a few Vue trees around here already.
Yeah, although I wonder if there are any copyright issues with that already... I also wonder if that qualifies under the terms of the contest.

Well...we could just try ;D
I've thoroughly scoured all the Vue website, docs and forums over the issue of Solid Growth plants copyright, if there is any restrictions on sharing objects between packages/other people then, I can't find it. Many Vue models are locked from export due to copyright but every plant in the generator can easily be exported without any such problems.
I suppose they are just geometry files(each one different to the next so there's no solid form that someone could copyright and say, 'Hey, that's my model!') so I can't see any problem with that, textures, on the other hand, if the supplied ones are used, might be a different story. Using your own textures on a generated model should be fine. I think.
As I've said before though, if anyone knows any different, I'll remove any links to any SG plants that I've previously shared as there are a few out there under my name.

Go for it Marting.. you have days left to join :)
Submission period: July 6 - August 31, 2011
I also haven´t found details about plant export so far. One thing is clear - you have to take care if you use one of the base models included into Vue, or one that has been created by brokers on Cornucopia for example
Do you think they would go for that, just one Vue tree in a TG2 render? We don't wanna be disqualified :-\ If so, I'll have a go at entering. Only thing missing would be a (insignificant) self modeled Vue tree.... does anyone have one?
EDIT: This is one of the rules:
QuoteSubmitted images can be created with any version of Vue (Theme-Packs, 3D SuperHero, Frontier, Esprit, Studio, Infinite and xStream), including the free Personal Learning Edition and the free Vue Pioneer. Submitted images can also be created using the Carbon Scatter plugins.
So TG2 is not allowed, I'd say.
I think the better way would be to see if it is possible to create an open Environment competition, open to any kind of 3D application.

Agreed. While I'd love it if TG2 qualified for this one, it'd be even more interesting to see what people could do with other apps as well (e.g. 3DS Max, Maya).

No. it says:
"Create an image of any kind of environment using your application of choice, in combination with any version of Vue"Meaning I can use Terragen 2 if I want as long as I also use Vue. Combine them and it'll be just fine ;)
Anyway. It would be really cool if someone here entered this using Terragen 2, win the contest and then when they find out you have been using Terragen 2, you would be disqualified for "cheating". Hahaha. It would be so hilarious ;D

Ghehe exactly my thought :)
I remember more "I want a TG2-like render" threads on cornucopia/e-on forums, than "I want a Vue-like render" here ;D
I think it is pretty easy to see the difference between a TG2 and Vue render, regardless the visual quality of the output.
