I just submitted my image and the reply email had accepted....(#12). Does
this mean I am only the 12th submission? Does most everyone cut the deadline
a little closer?

I see around 16 entries in the ftp directory for this round. It is not
unusual for most people to submit very close to the deadline so that
they have maximum time to fine tune their images. Expect to see the
numbers to rise dramatically in the next 7 days.

Both good and bad. With only 12, I might have placed in the top 10, but I'm
actually happier to see more people interested and involved in the irtc.

I'm working on an image, and I still have a lot to do! Fortunately it's only got
a render time of about 16 hours which means I can finish it off over the weekend
and render it Monday night :)
I always cut it very close. Last round I contemplated getting up early in the
morning to submit it (because here in the UK the deadline occurs at 8am), but
decided instead to stay up until 3!

My entry should be ready by tuesday morning (gmt). Normally, I'm an early
submitter (i.e. at least a week before deadline).
This is the finest I've ever cut it, and it's making me very nervous -
particularily with a bunch of iso-surfaces near the bottom of my image
(radiosity w/o conventional light source).

Tuesday morning? That's not cutting it close! I just submitted my entry with
about 20 minutes 'til the deadline! I had to get up early this morning to do so.
:)
Sounds like we had similar troubles with isosurfaces. The top half of my render
took about 1/4 of the total render time, the rest was spent tracing the ground.
Still it finished with a comfortable 2 hours to spare...
Good luck with the competition :)
