Loramel, in an earlier comment theeth suggested we cancel this weekend's challenge. That seems like a good idea, once the site is up again you can PM theeth with a new topic for the upcoming weekend.

As winner of the last WC i was supposed to provide a topic for the next challenge. First my problem was, that I was without internet access for 4 days starting from last thursday (mountain wilderness :)), but now it seems that i hadn't any chance of submitting a topic anyways.
As BA is still down as of this writing, maybe teeth can give me some hints about going on.

TRY OUT THE BUILT-IN GAMES ENGINE ( press P in 3D window )

As the excellent BlenderArtist forum is down, if you're looking something to do, take 30 minutes to try out one of Blenders greatest, and least tried out, features – the Game Engine.

Here's the link to the Blender BSoD on the GE…

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/Introduction_to_the_Game_Engine

You can still use your modelling / texturing skills with the GE – you just get saved the hours rendering time! No programming or art skills are required to complete the tutorial.

If anyone gives it a go, post your feedback ( to hopefully encourage other Blender 3D artists to try it out! )

Enjoy…

Well, I was supposed to receive the new theme (for the WC) by pm, so unless the last winner sends it to me otherwise, I'd propose we just cancel out this week end's challenge. :|
