    So, Unity posted this on its Facebook page today:

    "Are you ready to get creative with Unity 4 and DirectX 11? We have a grand prize of $10,000 and a trip to Unite 2013 up for grabs, we will have more details on the competition soon!"

    Any ideas/especulations/comments on what it could be?

    Really excited for a competition right now.

    Worldwide dance off probably.

    Either way I'm exited.

    Whoever gets to program the most amazing Gangman Style FPS with Direct X 11 in Unity 4 wins the grand prize, but they must also include an in-game video of themselves doing the dance.

    Prediction: This competition will produce 42.364.642.000.000 tessellated vertices (give or take)

    (of which at least 10.000.000.000 for slender games)

    Something that would require the use of Mecanim? (Besides the already annouced use of DX11 for the competition)

    Would be a nice way to get developers to use the Mecanim.
