Hmm, only get error when trying to download the software, maybe it's because i do not want the subscrition of the e-mail. Well. If ZWSoft want us to use the software for the challenge then i suggest they fix a easier way to get the download files.

Can the model be rendered in any other software? Are you going to modify winning models or they gonna be featured as we present them to you?
Thank You.
Lizzy Huang almost 12 years ago
@Andre Rätsep, yes, you can render your model in other software, like Cinema 4D, Lightworks, etc. And we are not going to modify the winning models when we promote them.
Hope my answer satisfy you.:D
