But if we want to add glare to the image, we can't use multilight...

Hi Mihai, if you want to to add glare to the image there is no problem: you can post one with glare and one with multilight :)

Will there be a dedicated competition page for that? If it is all well organized I'd like to join. Does it start immediately?

Maybe a temp forum section could be dedicated for it, but will many people show wips and so on? Perhaps the wip forum is good enough, one could write [challenge] when posting a wip about this competition.

I wonder if I have enough time for that one. I'll be moving to Berlin next month plus a new job. Will keep me busy for quite a while. :(

Regards,
Benjamin

I suggest the scene should also include elements (such as glossy chairs, tables, or other objects) under direct light that produce reflective caustics.

Take the damn Nano Tora , ......I'm shooting for the hat ....... :lol:

Seriously though ...... I hope to see some earnest efforts with this. Unless I'm mistaken, ...it appears to be our first 'official' challenge w/prizes.

No offence Max ..... :) ;)
