===== It's hard for a newbee to vote for these pictures! I tried to be fair! ===== thanks to the IRTC team for an incredible job! ===== The new "rating" voting is excellent. With the old system, the voters were forced to DISCARD most of the pictures. Now we can give points to each one. The only problem is with the *three* categories - that's 240 numbers, which is a bit much. One number per picture would be sufficient IMO. ===== I marked off points on "technical merit" for people using commercial renderers, or who used complex modellers but didn't get much out of them. I used the "theme" topic mostly to reward those who did a summer scene and punish those who had to explain how their scene related, when it really didn't much. Lots of *really* good pics this time!
