Hmmm, let me guess : you used the environment light and planes used as shadow masks that are removed one after the other during the animation ? Right ?

Roubal, dude, don't you know anything about magic? you never, ever, tell the trick, else the magic is gone....

Ahah, Yes, I can't watch a magic show without searching the trick ! I'm like that, I have never left a question without searching an answer !

I have had some scientific activities in the past and some questions took 7 years to find an answer !

roubal and kubo go to wip:).

Regarding the bug with turntable animations, we've decided to fix this and release a small update called beta 2.2b with the issue fixed on wednesday,
so people can render turntable animations for the competition.

However, i'd encourage people to tackle the challenge using an exporter plugin as turntable animations are not as interesting as real propperly animated ones

Great news ! Thank you very much !

Is octane .3 (with alpha channel support) is planned before deadline?

no, we will supply a 2.2b version that fixes the turntable bug, and that's it for this competition.
we encourage people to experiment and produce competition contributions with beta 2.2's features.

People are finding clever ways to overcome limitations every day and we'd like to see what people can come up with during these competitions with 2.2.
Rest assured that when 2.3 is out there will be more competitions, however the output of this competition will surely drive the motivations and prizes behind the next competitions.
