Now for a serious question, there is only one person on the animation team, (possible another person) plus maybe some photoshop work. Would it be worth it for me to compete? I have a couple of years of 3ds max experiance, but mostly in gaming things, not animation so much. I kind of have got the hang of making a good looking scene too, but I dont know if I could do a whole animation. Would it be worth it? Thanks

There was only one person on our animation team last year and our team won the regional AVA at the Buckeye regional. Last year was also our rookie year.

Being that one person, let me tell you: Yes, it is worth it.

Autodesk said nothing about which renderer could be used... so I'm guessing that V-Ray is allowed. I wouldn't be able to finish the animation without it... I have some insane materials that I've made within the past couple of years, including some very high-quality grass and leaf mats. I might release some after I finish my animation, if anyone thinks they could use them.

Yes, I think I could use the leaf/grass mats. Even if I couldn't it would still be interesting to look through them
