    General Notes:There will no obligation for a blog entry anymore. It is still allowed to post a link to your model or additional images, but it is not required anymore to submit a model to the challenges. The 3D Warehouse tag is still required though and should be added when uploading a model to the Warehouse.

    You can use the hyperlink code creator on the frontpage of the blog to create the code for a hyperlink in your message. Copy this code and paste it in the comment box on the place where your want the hyperlink to be.

    Challenge suggestions are welcome to be placed on the blog. Items will be noted and compiled on the moderator’s list. At that point, the initial comment for the suggestion may be deleted so as to maintain a streamline challenge thread for use of posting entries for the challenge and comments to models. Challenge suggestions have always been welcomed and taken under consideration.

    Please refrain from using background images in your models as it is the model itself that is being judged.

    You'll notice a new link on the main page that directs you to the First Place Certificate area to which winners are able to print a certificate with a picture of their model detailing their excellence. You can access the page through the main page of the blog.

    Good Luck and HAPPY EARTH DAY!

    @ Rahul;

    Are you guys sleeping over there?! I noticed the slow updating on the site. Who are the 3 winners of the playground contest?! To bad if u start skipping updates... :(, next to the poor voting, i gave up this challenge once, i might again. Bummer, but not so much fun anymore, due to lack of commitment :(

    Sorry, that is my fault. I never even thought about it. I had it in my head that I had already done it.
    I should be able to get it up by the end of the night and I'll leave it up for the next week.

    Tatatataaaa, my point for this challenge;

    Nice to see that a challenge like this brings up a lot of concepts... I'm looking forward to next challenge concepts! But anyway;

    3 points; Light switch by JD_Wooten. This is probabely the best concept, cause it all starts with your own awareness! Model, 3stars, idea/message 6!

    2 points; Ecological House, by Moboille, nice and detailed concept, as well as presentation!

    1 point; Tidal Farm by a.j. unknown. For exploring our ocean mechanics. Who knows in what way the ocean can serve us in the future. There's a lot of energy in that pool!

    And to Chris Bence; funniest entry!
    And to all; vote, vote...VOTE with a smile!

  42. UnknownMay 2, 2009 at 7:00 AM

    First I have to say that I've been galvanized by a lot of great models out there. Well, my votes are :

    Three points for "The Solar Burka" by ChrisBence, Not easy and a real original peace of art... That's what I like.

    Two points for "Moisture Vaporator" by JediCharles, technicaly detailed, look perfect !

    The ultimate choice were hard to select, if the "Helios Platform byALX" was in the competition I would give it the first place.

    I liked a lot the following users : cloudedzero, a.j.unknow and HenkieTenk... and I decided to attibute the point to HenkieTenk for his steampunk model.

    Sorry for long speech :)

    3 for JediCharles. Lots of detail, I like the texturing and the scenes.
