Jamie: I have to admit that I share David Stinnett's concerns. I entered last year's contest and although I didn't win a prize, Mike Goos from Autodesk Visual Productions contacted me to ask for mesh and texture files of my image so that they could use it in an Autodesk publication. We were able to agree to the request in this case but I think that I and those I work for would have been upset if the files had been altered without our knowledge, let alone permission. I understand the concerns you raised in your replies, but I'm afraid in order to protect the rights of my images I'd only be interested in submitting finished work and would much prefer to deal with mesh and texture requests on a case-by-case basis. You're within your rights to make the requests that you make, but you may discourage a few from entering. I will decline to enter this year's contest based on it's current rules. sorry, Bruce Meikle
