The Lightwave Forum is proud to announce a Contest, which is to create a scene using only simple boxes.

All boxes must be perfect cubes
You may have as many cubes as you wish
Cubes may be of any size, but every side of a specific cube must be the same (i.e. a perfect cube)
Edge beveling is permitted in order to catch a specular highlight but round edge cubes are not allowed.
Point cloning or instancing is allowed
Cubes as Particles are also allowed
1 flat plane is allowed
All render engines and shaders/plugins are allowed provided they do not use so much transparency that the cube no longer looks like a cube.
All plugins must be listed
All methods of image maping/projecting and surfacing will be allowed, provided that transpareny is not used to alter the appearance of the cube (i.e. to cut holes in it)
All lighting models are allowed.
1 inverted cube will be allowed - should it be used to create a Room.
a background image may be used for sky/setting but this will not be a standard photo like the inside of a diner or a New York street scene for example.
You may use any images as texture maps on the cubes.

This Contest will be sponsored by

The overall winner of this contest will win a texture pack of their choice from www.ambientlight.co.uk

Post work on images is allowed but keep it limited (the point here is to derive as much as possible from Lightwave only). No painting your whole scene.
