Calling all animators! (Animation contest is live!!!)

[teh lag]

I would do it simply because I'd have a halo rig. Currently I'm animating with CSS default hands...and frankly I could care less about that. I'd be up for it...although biped animations are anything but my forte.

That's part of what I'm hoping the appeal will be. It'll be a chance for people to play with assets they wouldn't be able to use otherwise. Ex: I was just talking with Seraphim about using things from Metroid Online and he was fine with it.

50 dollar visa gift cards.

Well, the idea is that it's a small competition with small prizes. I'm shooting for something bi-weekly, so I think $50 every 2 weeks is a bit much.

And when I mean gifts, I mean game design books and among other things of that nature.

That would actually be really cool to have. Then again, the above mentioned problem of making this a quick affair.

Maybe have prizes vary based on the difficulty of the challenge? General FP would be a donation, a full FP set or a biped anim could be one of the bigger things.
