This is *very* last minute, but the 2.44 Splash screen contest started last Sunday and will end, erm.., tomorrow! Details on BlenderArtists.org. Maybe next time, someone will let us know a bit earlier? ;-)

"Maybe next time, someone will let us know a bit earlier? ;-)"

Indeed! To make some of the great submissions shown in that thread, I need at least advance notice of at least one or two years ;-)

KevinW's "Release Your imagination" and space entries are very good.

To answer Jogai's voting, i would love to see that mechanical frog from @ndy : "suddenly it's spring again"

I would like to mention how nice this idea is to have the community design the splashscreens!

Whoah, I haven't seen the others yet, but I'd vote for KevinW. That pic is damn cool. Let everyone else have a shot on the next version.

bart:
i know i know. whole release caught me off guard totally. i just suddenly noticed release candidate is already out.. haven't been following the dev chats recently :(

about the "fightclub"-line, it's funny isn't it.. always the same thing, people don't get it. but, it only makes it better .. atleast i think so. heh heh.. :)

I don't envy who's got to pick the winner. Must be tough looking at those wonderful pieces of work and picking the best.

Any of KevinW's images are my vote. I love em' all, and they're my favorites.

The light bulb one reminds me of a tee shirt at a local bookstore that I've been going to for years.

@bart:Fight Club, is for gays and realy a fuck club!

Is there a way to put your own splash screen in without compiling it? just make it an jpg in the blender folder for example.

Maybe next time, someone will let us know a bit earlier? ;-)

If you want fair competition that would be cool.
whos to blaime for the late info now?

Hey all: I just followed the link to the definition of splash screen (I was really bored at work) and they have link to a GUIdebook of splash screens. Under 3D software they only have Max and Maya (and max has probably the most boring splashes around.) We should upload Blender's They are way better than most of the stuff on the site.
