Palaekman: Are you allowed to place it on a plane (or something like that) or just have it floating in the air? ( 5 years and 3567 days ago )

Lamantine: floating in the air

dka120: Are you kidding me?! A single crystal on a black background... why?! Making transparent/refractive/reflective objects, like crystals, depends on its surrounding more than its shape. This will be a lottery, not a challenge..

Please adjust the contest goal. ( 5 years and 3566 days ago )

nudanke: I've got to agree with dka120. A crystal on a black background won't look like much and will take no effort. A simple scene or setting of some sort would make this contest quite a bit more interesting and would force participants to explore a bit more of the 3D process instead of basic geometry with preset shaders. I think this is a fine suggestion, it just needs to be pushed more because currently it's about the same as making a photoshop contest in which people only have to apply their favorite filter to an image.

closedeyes: even i agree with dka120 and nudanke, the contest will be interesting if the lil bckgrnd is allowed,even if its not the jewel... a single crystal in air wont call for much, except for some fake planes to reflect.... ( 5 years and 3566 days ago )

flo: what happened with the "black background" goal???? Dissapeared just like that, when others tryied to make this on a black background.... i'm deleting my account for that, 4 shure..
