hen t h e e r the blender 2000 - #007 w e l c o m e things went smoothly once again this week even though sinister 6000 wasn t there to advertise =) slightly fewer entries this week but the quality is still amazing and the smaller pack-size will come as a relief to many of you! we had a vga sweep this time around with jpegs in all three top spots as you ll see they re all worthy winners close behind tied for fourth were goatboy pike and crixm revolution props out to everyone but especially to those who show up weekly and improve their skills each time! on another happy note we regained control of #blender seems like the folks who make the 3d rendering progam blender were trying to move from #blender3d to #blender it s all sorted out now so whew also thanks to blackjack for adding a blender mirror to his ftp site ftp mimic ca those of you in north america will find it a faster place to download packs our original ftp site however will remain the only ftp site where you can upload and download individual entries during the compo one more thing i d like to add it s hot out and my apartment smells like sewer gas pity me n e w s at this moment the word-submission thingie on the webpage still doesn t work until it does we ll be continuing to gather words on IRC just before the compo but once the webpage works you ll be able to submit words anytime you want if anyone can help out with a simple perl script (no CGI) email us!
