IC Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 The judging must have been tough. I'm more surprised about those who didn't make it (CHG in particular), but that's competitions I suppose. Well done everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihabkal Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Definitely the dramatic impact of the views and subjects and the need to have selected artists that have different styles (to spice the competition up) played a primary role in the selection. I'm not sad at all I wasn't selected as I see about five of those selected had mediocre renderings and still made the cut, but their views were dramatic (3 pointed prespectives or weird architecture) so it's definitely more artistic than real world production.

4DM Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Well done everybody! I am about to browse the winning visuals with relish, but one thing struck me, Jeff...surely some of those silhouttes should be female? I am assuming Alicja Bula, Eunice Lee and Sabine Pouget are women, for starters. And there may be more.. As there does appear to be a paucity of women on this board, would it not be good to acknowledge those who are here in general, and competition winners in particular? D.

Beno Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 (3 pointed prespectives or weird architecture) so it's definitely more artistic than real world production. couldn't agree more. While a big majority of qualified artists showed great skill and amazing renderings, it should be fair to say they were all created under different circumstances and purposes. Not all CG Arch. Vizualization should be put in the same bag. At least half of the winning images were produced without time-pressure and rigid Client's requirements (sitting behind the 3D artist, breathing down their necks). Some took a few days, others weeks, perhaps months to complete. Entry criteria therefore shouldn't only be limited to modelling, texturing, lighting, composition, impact, etc but also to real world production / hobby, time deadline / unlimited time....for a majority of participating 3D artists (including myself), that's a daily reality which is heavily reflected in their output. Something to consider for AVC 2006.... congrats to all winners though, outstanding work!! Beno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Some of the best CG work I have seen was done for clients under deadline with all of the same pressures that most of experience. Companies like Artmaze, Smoothe, Hayes Davidson, AMD, Neoscape all output amazing pieces and are some of the best in the industry. One thing to note, that while they might be large companies, much of the finishing work and core of the imagery is usually done by one person.

Jeff Mottle Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 I just wanted to personally thank and publically acknowledge all the REALLY hard work and long hours that the judges put into making all of the final selections. I know that it was a very difficult task. I could not have done it without you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtiscareno Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 To Jeff and all the finalist....CONGRATS!!! I will keep tabs on all WIP and final images of challenges, hope to learn more on my craft.
