Back on topic, I forgot to list what kind of tools I’ll be using for this Compo. My plan so far is:

• Unity 5 (this includes Standard Assets + Example Project, where relevant)
• My template Unity project
• Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition
• Notepad++ (note-taking)
• Mercurial + TortoiseHg
• Autodesk Character Generator (…maybe?)
• Blender 2.73a
• Photoshop CS5
• Garage Band iOS (and maybe Mac?)
• Audacity
• BFXR
• Bandicam (for trailers)
• Chronolapse (for timelapse)
• LiceCap (for GIFs)

I’m probably pushing it, but I’m thinking about using Jean Moreno’s free toon and matcap shaders.  Provided shaders are the only thing I’m using (I’m removing the example art assets), am I complying with the Compo rules?
