Since the criteria for judging the award and comparing your submission to other teams' are based specifically on the use of 3ds max and other Autodesk software components, yes, 3ds max must be used. The judging process can't support submissions from other programs because the judges will not have time to learn the capabilities of the other programs, to accurately judge your submission.

Based on this, I would interpret it to mean NO alternative modellers or rendering engines such as Maya, Lightwave, etc. despite what people may have said in earlier posts. Has anyone received any OFFICIAL information (ie. not guesses or inferences from non-FIRST or non-Autodesk sources) that would indicate that third-party tools (other than plug-ins) may be used?
