Hey, I am sorry for asking so many questions, but I wanted to be sure that I obey the rules.
One of the points on the main Mardini webpage is: 'Entries that clearly infringe on the copyrights of another company will be disqualified'.
Does making a fanart is an infringement? Let's say I would like to model a character or object from a game/movie or so? Is it allowed?

If it is a direct copy of a character/model then it will not be allowed - if you allude to a character or hint at a character that that should be fine.

Hey there, quick question, I haven't moved to 19 yet because prod reason. Is there any way to use other "similar" nodes from 18.5 for some of the days that really need 19 ?

It is important to use the H19 node - maybe you can use Apprentice for this day's contest if you don't have a license for H19. You can also run H19 on your computer without removing H18.5 if you have an updated license.

As long as it is rendered from within Houdini.

I am very much enjoying this challenge! thank you.

It cannot be seen immediately due to the time difference with Japan. I would be very happy if the reference video could be released one day earlier.

I am accepting entries up to 1AM for this week to help with the transition.

Hello!

Just a little feedback to fix on the winners page, the Mesh Tiler appears as Day 19 instead of 20

We are almost done with this!

Cheers!

Testing the waters, but I don't suppose there would be any chance we could re-use a model we made for the Skeleton node day for all the week ( or at least a few days ) ?

I know it was mentionned earlier we could recycle some asset but maybe using my scorpion everyday would be a bit too much

edit : to clarify, I'm more thinking of building upon it, block after block, rather than plain lazily using it

That is fine.

Yes - the deadline for day 24 and day 25 is being moved forward one day to accommodate the power outage.

Do we need to use all nodes for day with themes that contain more than 1 one? Ie. Tree Tools, is sole tree trunk generator fine or we need to use all 3 nodes?

At least one of the nodes.

Can we use detailed backplates in our submissions?

So regarding the Ironheart challenge, can I submit missing challenges on April 1-3, etc, and then the contact sheet on April 4th? Or does every daily still have to be submitted by tomorrow?

Maybe a bit late to point this out, but the light mixer should be day 30 not 20
