I understand your concern but these are the rules. We considered what this requirement means to artist and graphic image developers and that is what motovated the dollar amount of the prize(s). Because we _sometimes_ use these images/source items as sample materials when we ship a product, we must include the SELL clause in the entry form. Our goal isn't to make money from selling your meshes and maps, but to use them as examples that help to inspire others using the software. Obviously this enhances the value of the software and must be considered as part of the sales transaction. We also must say 'credit is at our descression' because we can not always guarentee a credit line in every promotion we do, but we will credit contributors whenever possible. (even I get credit now and then) In regards to the modification of the entry data for Autodesk's promotion purposes, we have to be able to adjust the data into whatever promotion we're trying to do. We may need different materials, camera angles, line types, colors and so on. The _finacial_ motovation behind Autodesk producing this contest is to collect images from its customers for promotional purposes. If the images can't be easily reused for our promotional needs, then it reduces their value. (gosh that sounds sort of cold, sorry) I hope this helps to clarify these issues for you, I'm sorry it couldn't be more flexible. Thanks, Jamie Autodesk, Visual Productions Group
