Yes, and they're all using bryce & rhino, and the image size is always the
bryce default.  The no description in file is annoying, if this is an
assignment it would be nice if the teacher also required them to spend a
couple of minutes writing a textfile.

Provided they aren't driving the regulars away in disgust...  This is the
third or fourth time someone has commented on the "lower standards".

True, already a few have made repeat entries, a couple of them actually show
some sense of composition, and have gotten away from the stock bryce
textures and skies, and started experimenting on their own.  Having made my
own first forays into 3d with bryce, I know that bryce's deep texture
editor is intimidating for a beginner. Those ones I tend to encourage with
my scores and comments.
