upload before feb 12th!!!

that way you insure its in. Otherwise to much traffic going into that site. Happens every year.

[Mazin]

Yeah, when the Autodesk servers catch on fire right before the deadline, all you can do is pray that they extend the deadline.

I'm uploading ours tomorrow !!!
It's always a good idea to beat the traffic!

So that would be 8pm for us east coasters I'm guessing?

It is odd that they pick a Thursday instead of a Friday. When do they actually start accepting entries?

[BuddyB309]

Oh man, here it comes guys. The flood of help cries for animation. Ok, *whew* I can handle this. I will try to live up to my promise to help everyone.

grrr... so not ready this year.

{lament} Got into building this year and totally failed to organize the team, and no mentors would even sit in on our meetings thereby giving us a room to talk in{/lament}

However, I'm confident we will get everything in in the nick of time... and next year someone else can have this headache...

I am really glad you are available for last minute help!

Here is my question: If you had an animation that exceeded the 250mg limit, what would you do to reduce the size quickly?
