Post by: Josh3D on November 13, 2013, 11:53:42 AM
What a great contest! We've wrapped up the render challenge and even though there was only two weeks to submit an entry, you did not disappoint!  We have Jack-o'-lanterns, demons, skeletons, monsters and more to put the fright in you. Two people walked away with the top prize for best render and best animation, and still others with an honorable mention. A big thank you to everyone who entered and a big congrats to all the winners! Without further ado, here are the winning submissions!
