Come on guys, no more people interested in $1000 ?
You only need to provide a model with 2 arms/2 legs not exceeding 12,000 triangles !

I would be interested in pursuing this. I checked the contest site and didn't see a deadline. Is there one?

EDIT. Whoops, never mind. Just saw it in your above post. August 21st!

why do you want all participants to submit files ?
this means you get free access to all the models of all entries.

usually the trend it to submit files for the final round qualifiers only to check the quality.

We judge the model based on it's animation ability. Being a company that has developed an auto-rigging tool we are testing it on submissions and having our animators test the quality of the deformation.

Sending the mesh is one of the ways to test it.
