As we finally have light scattering, I think of a good highlight of the feature. So, maybe we'll have a topic around volumetric/atmospheric effects?

i think something like "Movie Scenes and Scenery"
with so many fans out there modelling star wars,lord of the rings etc themes and the architecture capabilities of luxrender this competition would be a blast!

Great thread by the way!
i have many other suggestions ill sort them out in my head and ill write them down.

I like a lot the idea from moure +1

I also think to diversify..... a good way is a challenge based on a basic scene... that anyone can improve like wanted... and rendering...
by starting with a basic scene... more people will participate at beginning.

we have now the new materials entries by Paco and Jeanphi.....
for example a natura morta scene.. with a chest full of fruits... leafs, jam jars, jugs full of fruit juice....

I opened a topic in the past days about scenes used for challenges on the net... it's in the *general discussion* forum search for:
*scenes & inspiration for LuxRender render Competitions* give a look to the links in it... I'm sure you'll be inspired ;)

PS:is there a way to transfer the mentioned topic here in the *works in progress* sub forum?
