Taharez: This is not a NeHe contest, so i think you can use whatever API you prefer.... heck, mine''s gonna be text-based: "You are in a great hall and you see a fire, What Next?"
quote:Original post by vincoofThe primary criteria for the contest are that entries must somehow represent all four elements, and that they will be judged for "creativity, eye candy, fluidity, innovation, originality, overall presentation". It''s up to you to determine how "other stuff" fits into that for your particular entry. I''d advise everyone that this contest is always popular, and the entries are always quite good, so you shouldn''t ignore anything that might give you an edge.
Does ''graphics programming'' mean that other stuff (eg sound) may be ignored ?

2) Can models and textures from freeware web sources be used?

is interactivity a requirement?
quote:Original post by MichalsonYeah, if that''s what you''d prefer, that''s fine. It''s about the same price as the GF4 right now. By "next gen card" I was referring to the R300 (aka Radeon 10000), but it looks like that won''t be out until September.
Could the All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 be considered ATI''s next gen card?
quote:Original post by TaharezI''ll have to double check with Kevin, but I think D3DX will be fine.
How ''bout using D3DX? Is this a strict no-no? Would probably enable more people to participate if it was allowed.

Oh, and shouldn''t "third annual Four Elements III contest" actually be "third annual Four Elements contest"?
