Rules/guidelines?

[Kevin Thorp]

There's no guarantee the 2013 rules will be similar, but here are the 2012 rules:

Key points are:

• You must use Autodesk software (3ds Max, Maya or Softimage)
• 30 seconds or less, not including title screen or credits
• 1280 x 720 resolution, 24 frames per second
• File must be H.264 or MPEG4 QuickTime format
• They have very specific title screen and file naming specs.
• You also have to create and upload a storyboard and a still frame JPG

Ideally Autodesk will post the new rules the same day as the Kickoff (Jan. 5) but they might be a few days late.
