Jamie, >>The above grant to Autodesk includes the right to modify and reproduce the Files and to use, distribute or sell such modified or unmodified Files at its sole discretion,… Sorry, this may be a standard form, but it makes me seriously consider NOT sending anything in. I understand the need for the right do freely distribute the actual entry for promotional purposes, etc, but there are a couple of things that scare me. I have spent a great deal of time and effort creating these images (stills or anim), and the last thing I want is to have Adesk or anybody making changes to the mesh file and/or maps and rerendering images to distribute and/or sell. I don't want any of the images I worked on so hard to be changed without my knowledge and sold without recieving credit or compensation. (maybe you can clear up what "sell" means exactly). If I enter an image into a contest, I can easily give permision for Adesk and family to use THAT image however and for whatever it wants, but I'm not willing to give away all rights to the original meshes, maps, etc, for them to change and do with what they want. Is there any way around this or am I simply stuck signing over rights for EVERYTHING. I would certainly like to enter some stuff into this contest, but if I'm stuck with the contract as is, then I'm afraid I'll have to pass. Thanks, David
