one question, do you need to texture ALL surfaces??
is it required to only texture most of the underwater creature but let smaller details un-textured?? i mean, if i don't feel the teeth ( or some other small detail like the eyes ) needs some textures, can i just make them without textures? hope this question does make sense. i realy don't know how to explain it better in english  EDIT: another question, is their a texture-resolution limit? what's the maximum size??

G'day mtmckinley!
Is there an image size requirement/minimum for this comp (eg: 1024x768 pixels) or are final images limited to a file size for upload (or both?!?) - this is the first one i'm enterin' here and thought I should check before I get too far with scene composition! Cheers! priimate. |

Unless you host the image yourself, we prefer you keep it 640x480 or so
