JHalton Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Will we be seeing results of the Survey in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 A little too much typing for my tastes, but a good, thorough, survey. It's a pleasure to fill out a survey in the CG industry where 90% of my answers aren't 'other'. I feel so...validated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mottle Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Yeah once I am done the presentation in Copenhagen I will release most of the results. I am being told that I should sell the results to vendors though. My thoughts are that this particular survey are not scientific enough to warrant a company paying for them and making a business decision based upon them. However, I may try to do more scientific ones in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, whatever biases inherent in the responding class are fairly obvious. As long as those are spelled out, I don't see much problem with your results, so long as you get a good enough response sample. What would make a survey 'more scientific'?

Jeff Mottle Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 What would make a survey 'more scientific'? Lots! I've been told by a person who's father does polling for a living that the questions lead the user too much. There are a lot of other tricks I guess to ensuring that you get the proper results form the survey. There is no doubt that there will be usefull information come from this survey, but it could be better. Next time. I've had 445 people take the survey so far so there is a very good sample range.

RErender Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 So I guess the prizes were just BS? Or did Jeff keep them for himself and defraud us? or? I imagine some lawyers might be interested in this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mottle Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 No the prizes were all awarded. If you were not contacted you did not win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RErender Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Is there a list of the winners? Were the prizes distributed fairly or just to friends? Any winners care to pipe up? Seems odd that there was never an announcement of winners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Were the prizes distributed fairly or just to friends? Well, I was not contacted, so I guess I'm neither a winner nor a friend. So sad... Oh, well. I forgot all about 'prizes' anyway. It is a good survey, but needs fewer 'write-ins' as it is too hard to digest all the various comments. Some are harder to digest than others.

serpico Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 RErender, I clicked the link and read the article, then clicked that link to read the survey and got an error page, Access to Survey Denied. Is this not available to read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mottle Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Eric, I know you're new here, but I'm sure there are at least several dozen people on these forums alone that will attest to my integrity. The prizes were awarded! Vendors shipped directly to the winners and they were selelected by survey number and a random number generator. I did not post the winners as I was too busy getting ready for 3DFestival. Not that I don't have anything better to do, but to put yours and any other sceptics thoughts to rest, here is the list of winners. Absolute Textures - Michael Starr Absolute Textures - M Mounce ArchVision - Martin Gatrost Bionatics - Michael Tutaj Cadai - Brett W Freese Cadai - Alexei Dranicer Cadai - Önder Bayraktar CGtoolbox - Arthur C. Tanudarta DigArts - Phonexay Soumpholphakdy DigArts - Daniel Fritschi DigArts - Linda Mounsey Digital Elements - Michael Berg Eovia - Holli Alvarado Eovia - Zack Strowd Got3D - Chandrashekhar Hampiholi Hyperfocal - Mariusz Pyrak Sketchup - Andrew McDonald Lowpolygon3d - Travis Lewis Realworld Imagery - Michael S.

serpico Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Thanks Jeff. Downloading as I write this. The forum is so big, so I didn't get to that section yet or else I wouldn't have asked! LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Alexander Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 It is a good survey, but needs fewer 'write-ins' as it is too hard to digest all the various comments. Some are harder to digest than others. I did'nt win either, maybe I'll just take my toys and go home . The write-ins were the best part. How often are we fed disseminated poll / survey results without understanding the true cross section of respondants. After about 15 minutes, of browsing the survey, the general attitudes and view points become rather obvious, imho. The comments add validity to the survey in many cases and some the survey actually helps to invalidate fears/trends expressed as views. Unlike our political pollsters & vocal minority, taking the views, beating the perverbial drum about a small segment's negative views and disregarding the minimal impact based on reality of the statistics. But I prefer understanding over percieved fact. It takes extra digestion but whats life with out a little heartburn? Less purple ? WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RErender Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Ok, that wasn't so hard was it? I wish I would of gotten this answer several weeks ago when I first asked instead of dragging it through mud to get a response. Cheers, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Eric I was in Copenhagen and then in London on business, and had very little time to answer questions on the forum, or even update the site for that matter.
