2011 Animation Contest
 

I'm a little concerned that there is no award listed for 2011 animation. We have already put in a ton of time getting ready for this. Does anyone know if this has been dropped from the 2011 season? and if there is, has the judging beed upgraded? TIA

The answer to this and many other questions is in the manual here

Look in section 6.5

They are usually behind on the animation topic. We might see it today or even tomorrow.

They say it will be posted tomorrow.....
Complete information about the Award, including submittal format, deadlines, criteria, and judging process will be posted by January 10, 2011 on the FIRST website and on the FIRST section of the Autodesk Education Community at: www.autodesk.com/first.

We would be interested in online FRC team mentor assistance for Maya. Is there anyone here who would be willing to answer questions that we can't figure out on our own this season?

Confusion every year, and this is no different. Autodesk.com/first seems to be busy and sporatic, but no mention of the animation topic. If anyone finds the topic, please paste it to a thread here!
Thanks

The press release here says

Sounds a bit familiar... and perhaps incorrect?

Re: 2011 Animation Contest
 

I think you'll find this is a great place to post questions about 3ds Max & Maya. You'll probably get answers within an hour or two. Just try to be as specific as possible in your thread title.

hmm... the site (http://students.autodesk.com) has been down for a couple hours. I suppose that's a good sign. Maybe it means Autodesk is in the process of updating the site with the 2011 rules.

Re: 2011 Animation Contest
 

That would seem to be what is mentioned in this thread.

Greetings from Australia!
I would love to help your team. You may post your questions on CD and I'll try to check often. Also you can email me at tonywu15@gmail.com

Re: 2011 Animation Contest
 

The great thing about posting questions here is everybody can see the answers.

Re: 2011 Animation Contest
 

Now I'm incredibly worried. It's been all day and not a word from Autodesk on the award.

Re: 2011 Animation Contest
 

Hi everyone. Just came out of my animation cave to say hi, I'm here to help with the new year.

Re: 2011 Animation Contest
 

Unfortunately Autodesk is always late posting the contest info. :( I know it's frustrating but we just have to be patient.
