Good idea musk. I’d add a note on his entry that it was a mistake, and sort of like open entries in the weekend challenge, kind of discourage people from just voting before thinking whether or not they feel he deserves it.
I am sure he hasn’t noticed it so in my opinion there is not problem. It is more for fun and practice than anything else (at least for me:). One thing we can do is to push him to prepare the tutorial as he promised :>
I’m with chimericidol, its not like there is a prize at stake. I also thought he had an impressive entry.
Regardless of no prizes or quality animation entry, this is a matter of worldwide ethic. No adding meshes is very clear and everybody should abide by the rules. In fact everyone did. Adding a mesh to the scene then improves overall creativity. Last round Patricia was disqualified for adding a new mesh…so? :no: These entries are similar overall because of lacking of props…so it should be evaluated base on it. This round reflects a big improvement in animation quality from all participants.
blenderguy2008: I think you are right although I wouldn’t call it world ethics (if there is such the thing ) but the case with patricia was slightly different as she still had enough time to change her entry and remove the frog but she didn’t so I didn’t add her entry. This time I missed that detail and people only pointed it out after the deadline.
I still would like to give Laxy the notion of a doubt that he simply didn’t intend to break the rule. I still think that I need to change the rule to relax this a little. The thing I want to prevent with the rule “no new meshes” is basically to keep this challenge a animation challenge and not make a modelling challenge of it.
And I do agree the quality of the entries has greatly increased.
No big deal anyways…just changing the rules to convenience…Patricia was disqualified for adding a mesh…does not make sense to me…preference is clear here. “Do not add meshes unless you added them on the last day” …Yeah Right…
Ethic refers to the “ethic” of being self-reliant by completing tasks oneself as opposed to having others who are likely more experienced complete them. Who leads this Forum?
Good luck to everyone.

Ok since there are objections to Laxy’s entry I will enter him as not confirming to the rules and take him out of the voting. (sorry!)
And I forgot to post malefico so here is his entry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9LRHVu8dk0 added him to the overview as well.
Just for you to know guys that I don’t mind at all for Laxy´s entry to be voted, even though I was one of the contestants.
