In this thread, each contestant should post his official entry picture and all the additionnal material that he wants to make avalaible. Only the official picture will be used for the public voting, but all the additionnal material will be considered by the jury when giving the Technical Awards.
This thread will be locked (and will stop accepting entries) as soon as I get up tomorrow morning (October 1st, Eastern Canada time).
Voting will start as soon as possible. All the details regarding the public vote and the jury for the Technical awards will be available in the other thread.
if anybody has hints what i could improve please post them there.

p.s.: thanks to Jean-Michel Soler for for his great POVAnim export-script, to s68 for the very usefull piston tutorial and all that have been encouraging me…
Well, I have nothing but (Bad) excuses, but: In addition to my rendering problem, I never got the final amount of detail wanted. I went to finish the rigging and my armatures went ‘wiggy’ on me- and I don’t yet know why. Basically when I hit tab then tab again, the bone positions get all screwy. Maybe adding bones to the armature while others still have constraints is bad. I dunno.
So the best I can do for now is this lameass unrigged screencap. This is officially disqualified, but, just to show my (honest) intentions, its resised to the official 800x600 contest rules.
Oh, yes, congratulations to all the other entries: truly phenomenal work.
I placed a wip:
Couldn’t render it without segfaulting until I deleted all but one leg
If someone has some helpful advice I wouldn’t be , how shall i say it, ungrateful ;), , nudge,nudge
saay noo more!
The only external work is a little bit of post done in Photoshop.
He’s not mechanically accurate… there aren’t any pistons or gears or guts… I just wanted to take a crack at a saurion creature of some kind and make a nice environment.
Mechophobic - My Official Entry
This is my living mech! Originally, he was based upon a tiger, but later on he gained characteristics from the late cretacious mammal Macrauchenia (simmilar looking to a camel)!
Unfortunately, I was so lazy I waited two days before the deadline to start, so I only did it in 6 hours! I couldn’t continue because I was going on a road trip for the next two days with no computers.
Motion animation: http://www.clubinfo.bdeb.qc.ca/~theeth/MechFinal.avi sadly, I didn’t have enough time to add the little details that would have turned this into a masterpiece (you wish :-? ), including an Elvis impersonator…

PS: I’ll post the .blend tomorrow
PPS: I just realized that the picture is bigger than 800 x 600… doh. I’ll upload the correct version tomorrow.
